Community Guidelines

Last updated November 13, 2026

Draft pending legal review. This version may change before launch.

Play fair

Write claims that can be settled. Clear question, clear deadline, clear way to tell who was right. The app helps you draft this.
Don't game it. No fake accounts, no coordinated appeals, no claims you secretly already know the answer to, and no text written to trick the Ref.
Don't make it happen. Don't make claims you can win by harming, pressuring or sabotaging someone.
No money. Smuggy is never for real bets. Don't use it to arrange, record or settle a wager for money or anything of value, or to promote gambling. A symbolic stake like "loser buys coffee" is fine; cash, transfers and valuable items are not.

Tease, don't humiliate. Claims about friends should be the kind they'd laugh about too.
No harassment or bullying. No threats, intimidation, pile-ons, or claims designed to shame someone.
No hate. Nothing that attacks people for their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or serious illness.
Respect privacy. Don't post anyone's phone number, address or other personal details. Don't make claims about a private person's health, pregnancy, sexuality, relationships, finances, immigration status or other sensitive matters.
No predictions about harm. No claims about someone dying, getting hurt, getting sick, being arrested or losing their job, and nothing that wishes or encourages harm to anyone, including yourself.

No sexual content, and absolutely nothing that sexualizes minors. Smuggy is for people 16 and older.
No violence or graphic content, and no promotion of terrorism or violent extremism.
No illegal activity, including drugs, weapons, fraud or scams.
No market manipulation or inside information. Claims about stocks, crypto or companies are fine; pumping them, spreading false information or using non-public information is not.
No misinformation designed to mislead people about elections, public health or emergencies.
No impersonation or spam. Use a name your friends know you by, and don't flood people with invites or claims.
Respect others' rights. Only post content you have the right to share.

Report it. Tap Report on a claim, a comment or a profile, or write to support@smuggy.app. Reports are confidential: moderators see what was reported and why, never who reported it.
Block them. Block someone from their profile, or right after reporting them. Blocking ends your friendship, hides each other's comments, stops either of you joining or commenting on the other's claims, and removes them from your leaderboard. You can unblock in Account → Blocked people.
AI helps, people decide. An AI system screens claims, comments and display names. Comments with clear abuse are refused before they post, and claims or names with clear abuse are hidden until a moderator reviews them. Content reported by three different people is also hidden until review. Friendly trash talk is fine.
We act fast. A person reviews reports and we aim to act within 24 hours. Depending on what happened, we may restore the content, remove it (a removed claim is cancelled and counts for nobody), clear an offensive name, or suspend the account. A suspended account can still read, download and delete its data, but can't create, invite, join or comment. Serious cases, like threats or child safety, may be reported to the authorities.
Think we got it wrong? Reply to our message or write to support@smuggy.app and a person will look again.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
