Community guidelines

Wumpf is for honest stories and real opinions. Honest does not mean cruel. Here is how we keep it good.

What is welcome

• Real stories about love, marriage, family, friends, work, money and the moral grey areas in between.
• Spicy, awkward, embarrassing and controversial stories, as long as they are legal and told honestly.
• Strong opinions about what someone did. Disagreeing is the whole point.

What is not allowed

• Explicit sexual content, and anything sexual involving someone under 18.
• Hate or abuse aimed at people for who they are, threats, bullying and harassment.
• Real names and private details of other people: full names, phone numbers, addresses, emails, social handles or workplaces that identify someone.
• Self-harm encouragement or instructions. If you are struggling, please talk to someone you trust or a local helpline.
• Spam, adverts, links, scams, and rating or credit gaming.
• Passing off made-up stories as real to farm credits.

How moderation works

1. AI first. An AI reads every story, opinion, Score Room message and Wall post before it shows. Clear problems are stopped with a reason. Anything it is unsure about goes to a person.
2. You can flag it. Every story, opinion, message and Wall post has a Not appropriate flag. When you use it, the AI looks again straight away. After 3 reports something is hidden until a person decides.
3. People decide the hard cases. Our team reviews flagged items and can restore, remove, warn or suspend. AI can be wrong, and a person always has the last word.

Repeat or serious breaches lead to a warning, then a temporary suspension, then a permanent ban. Credits earned unfairly are taken back.

The Meter and Score Rooms

The Meter runs from 1 (Totally wrong) to 10 (Totally right). Rate the story, not the person. You can change your rating any time. Score Rooms only open to people who gave the same number, and everyone there gets a random nickname.

Credits and rewards

Credits reward taking part honestly. Daily limits apply, new accounts have lower limits for their first week, and short throwaway opinions earn little or nothing. We can freeze credits if we see abuse. Rewards are paid after a quick check.

Privacy

You sign in with Google. We keep your name, email and picture. Your email is never shown. Anonymous posts never show your name or picture to other users, but our team can see who wrote them if we need to deal with abuse. IP addresses and device cookies are stored only in scrambled form to stop cheating. We do not sell your data. You can delete your account any time from Settings.

To protect the community, the text of posts is sent to an AI service for safety checks, and the text of public stories is also sent once to write the short psychology analysis shown under them. Nothing else about you is sent with it.

Adults only

Wumpf is for people aged 18 and over.
