Report

From Whirled

Whirled is largely a place where the players have the power to regulate their own experiences. If someone is bothersome, players can do these types of things:

• Remove the person from their friends list
• Mute the person
• Boot the person out of the room
• Move to a different room
• Set up their room so that it only accepts the player and their friends
• Create a private game table and invite only friends to it
• Bleep offensive or visually annoying items
• Delete an offensive or unwanted comment from their profile's Comment Wall.

However, sometimes one may need to report behavior and items that violate Whirled's Community Standards or Terms of Service.

Reporting a player

If another player in the room where you are is violating Whirled's Community Standards or the Terms of Service, that player may be reported.

1. Make sure that the player is really doing something that violates the Community Standards or Terms of Service. It's not ideal to report someone who is being irritating but is not truly breaking the rules. For example, you should not report someone who swears if you have turned off your swear filter, and their swearing would otherwise have been filtered.
2. Ask the person to stop the offensive behavior and let them know that they can be reported for breaking the rules.
3. If they do not stop, click on the player and select the "Complain about this player..." option from the menu.
4. A box will appear in which you can provide a short description of the reason for your report.

After submitting the report, nothing further need be done; the report will be sent to the Agents for review.

Reporting a discussion post

To report a post that violates the Community Standards or Terms of Service, click the reporting icon on that post as circled in red here. Please note that posts such as "You suck!" while negative, do not automatically break the rules.

You will be prompted to explain how the post breaks Whirled's rules. Once you have done so and submitted the report, it will be sent to the Agents for review.

Reporting a shop issue

Items

Items that violate the Community Standards or the Terms of Service may be reported for review. To do so, use the "Report" link on the item's page in the Shop.

The options to report the item as "Mature" or "Copyright" will appear in a menu.

Mature

The "Mature" option is for items that contain overt and explicit sex or violence. Selecting this option will produce the following confirmation dialog:

Copyright

The "Copyright" option is for items that are unauthorized copies of something you yourself have created. Reporting an item as a copyright violation will cause the confirmation dialog at right to appear.

If you see a copy of someone else's work in the shop, notify the creator of the original work via Whirled mail. That person can then look at the copy and decide whether or not they would like to ask Three Rings to take it down.

Comments

Comments posted on Shop items that break the Terms of Service or the Community Standards may be reported by using the "Complain" link on the offending comment post.

You will be prompted to explain how the comment breaks Whirled's commenting rules. Once you have done so and submitted the report, it will be sent to the Agents for review.
