Community Guidelines
Welcome to Wazzon
Wazzon is for talking about what you’re watching with the people you want to talk to. The show you can't shut up about, the movie that wrecked you, the finale that let everyone down.
For that to be fun, it has to feel safe. That's the idea behind everything in our community guidelines: strong opinions about shows are always welcome; cruelty toward real people is not. You can say a series is garbage but you can't make someone feel like garbage for loving it.
These guidelines apply to everything you share on Wazzon—posts, comments, reviews, watch notes, lists, messages, group chats, and your profile (username, display name, bio, and avatar included).
Who can be on Wazzon
You must be 16 or older to use Wazzon. We ask for your date of birth when you sign up, and we suspend accounts that don't meet the minimum age.
How we keep Wazzon safe
Our tools and processes for keeping Wazzon safe are always evolving. This is how we approach it today:
- Every post goes through automated review before it reaches anyone's feed. Posts that look like they break these rules are held back or removed before they are shared with other users.
- A person reads every report. Wazzon is built by a small team, and a human looks at everything you report. We're honest that this means we can be slower than a bigger platform, but it also means a person is making the calls.
- You have tools of your own. You can report anything, block or mute anyone, make your account private, and choose who can message you (friends or nobody). Wazzon is friends-first, so outside of the Everyone reviews, only Friends can talk to you.
- We tell you when we act on your content. If we remove one of your posts, we tell you which rule it broke. You can appeal if you think we got it wrong.
What we don't allow
First, what this list is not about. Wazzon is about movies and TV. Brutal reviews, hating a fictional character, "that episode killed me," heated debates, dark humor about dark shows, and spoilers are not violations. That's just how people talk about what they watch. These rules are about how you treat real people.
Keeping people safe
Don't threaten or encourage violence against real people. Saying you want to strangle a fictional villain is TV talk. A real threat against a real person (a user, an actor, a writer, anyone) gets you removed. Still fine: violent scenes from shows, hyperbole about episodes, "the showrunner is dead to me."
Don't encourage self-harm, suicide, or disordered eating. Discussing shows that portray these themes is fine. Content that promotes them or gives instructions is not. If you're struggling, please reach out to someone: findahelpline.com lists free, confidential support lines in most countries.
Don't post sexually explicit content. Wazzon isn't the place for pornography or graphic sexual material, and never share intimate images of someone without their consent. Still fine: discussing the sexual themes and scenes in the shows you watch.
Respecting each other
Don't harass or bully people. No personal attacks, pile-ons, or following someone around the app to needle them. Where's the line? "This performance was terrible" is a review. "You're an idiot for liking it," aimed at a person, is harassment.
Don't attack people for who they are. Slurs, dehumanization, or calls for harm against people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity are not allowed, including "just joking" and coded speech.
Don't share private information. No posting anyone's address, phone number, workplace, private photos, or private messages without their consent.
Being real
Don't pretend to be someone you're not. No impersonating other users, actors, creators, studios, or Wazzon itself, both in your posts and in your username.
Don't spam. No bulk posting, follow-for-follow schemes, fake engagement, or unsolicited promotion.
Don't scam or deceive. No phishing, fake giveaways, crypto schemes, or deliberately false claims designed to cause real-world harm.
Following the law
Don't use Wazzon for anything illegal. That includes selling drugs or weapons, and any content that depicts or facilitates a crime.
Don't link to pirated streams or downloads. We love that you want everyone to see the show. Link to where it's legally streaming. Most content comes with links to the platforms it's available on.
Child Safety Standards
Wazzon has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation. We do not allow any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors, no exceptions and no "it's from a show" carve-outs. This includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), sexualized depictions of minors, grooming, and attempts to obtain or share such material.
Content like this is removed immediately, the account behind it is permanently banned, and reported to the relevant authorities.
If you see anything on Wazzon that endangers a child, report it in the app right away, or email us directly at support@wazzon.app.
Spoilers, friends, and being a good hang
A few things that won't get you banned, but make Wazzon better:
- Tag your spoilers. Spoilers aren't a rule violation, but nobody likes to get the finale ruined. Use the spoiler tools, especially in the first days after an episode drops.
- Chats follow the same rules. Everything here applies inside group chats too. A group chat being "private" doesn't make harassment fine. Messages and individuals in group chats can be reported like anything else.
- Back off when you're not welcome. If someone's not enjoying the debate, let it go. It's just TV. Go outside.
Reporting, blocking, and muting
To report something: tap the ••• menu on any post, comment, review, note, list, message, or profile, and choose Report. Pick the reason that fits best, optionally add a note, and send it.
What happens next:
- The person you report won't know it was you.
- Automated review looks at it right away, and a person reads every report. Content that clearly breaks these rules comes down; accounts and group chats are only ever actioned by a human.
- We judge the content, not the report count. Mass-reporting something that doesn't break the rules won't get it removed, and reporting something you simply disagree with does nothing.
- You won't always hear back about the outcome, but every report is read.
To block or mute someone: tap ••• on their profile. Block means you're done with each other — they can't message you, comment on your stuff, mention you, see what you’re watching, or see your profile. Mute is quieter: you just stop seeing them, and they'll never know. Reverse any mute or block in the app Settings.
If something is urgent or you can't report it in the app, email support@wazzon.app.
What happens when someone breaks the rules
What we do depends on how serious it is, whether it's a pattern, and whether someone could get hurt:
- We hold or remove content. A post that breaks the rules is taken down (or held from feeds while a person reviews it). If it's yours, we tell you which rule it broke and why.
- We suspend accounts for serious or repeated violations. Suspensions last for a set time or until our review finishes.
- We ban accounts permanently for the worst violations: child safety, credible threats, and repeat offenders who've shown they're not here in good faith. Coming back on a new account after a ban is itself a violation.
A few things are severe enough that there's no warning and no ladder: child safety violations and credible threats of violence are removed immediately.
These examples can't cover everything that may happen. We may act on things that clearly violate the spirit of these guidelines, even if no rule above names them explicitly.
If we got it wrong
We're a small team, and sometimes we'll get it wrong. When we do, we want to fix it.
- If we removed your post: you can appeal right in the app from the removed post, or from the link in the removal email within 30 days. A person reviews every appeal. If we made a mistake, your post comes back.
- If your account was suspended or banned: reply to the suspension email or contact **support@wazzon.app**. Your account reference is included in the email so we can find your case quickly.
