Puggle Chat Rules

Puggle is built around zero censorship and free expression. Say what you want, discuss what you want, and be yourself. The only real boundaries are legality, safety, and abuse of the service.

Our Philosophy

We believe people should be able to express opinions, ideas, humor, criticism, controversial views, and unpopular opinions without unnecessary censorship.

We do not remove content simply because someone finds it offensive, controversial, uncomfortable, or disagreeable.

Freedom of expression does not include illegal activity or abuse of the platform.

1. Keep It Legal

The most important rule is simple: keep your activity legal.

Do not use Puggle to facilitate, organize, or participate in illegal activities.

Illegal content or activity may be removed and may result in moderation action.

2. No Exploitation

Content involving the exploitation of minors is strictly prohibited.

Puggle is an 18+ service. Users under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the platform.

3. Don't Threaten or Harm Others

Arguments, insults, jokes, controversial opinions, and heated discussions are allowed.

However, credible threats of violence, stalking, targeted abuse, or other unlawful conduct intended to harm another person are not allowed.

4. Respect Privacy

Don't expose someone else's private information.

This includes things such as:

  • Home addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Passwords
  • Financial information
  • Private documents
  • Precise location information
  • Other sensitive personal information

Remember that Puggle is anonymous. Protect your own information too.

5. No Spam

Don't ruin conversations for everyone else.

  • No message flooding
  • No excessive spam
  • No unsolicited advertising
  • No malicious links
  • No intentional disruption of rooms

Normal discussion, links, recommendations, and conversation are completely fine.

6. No Impersonation

You can remain anonymous, use nicknames, and present yourself however you want.

Don't impersonate another person, moderator, administrator, organization, or Puggle staff member in a way that is intended to deceive or harm others.

7. Don't Abuse the Platform

Puggle is free to use, but that does not mean you can intentionally break or abuse it.

  • No DDoS or denial-of-service attacks
  • No unauthorized access
  • No credential theft
  • No malware distribution
  • No exploitation of security vulnerabilities
  • No attempts to bypass technical restrictions
  • No automated abuse of the service

8. No Ban Evasion

If you are banned or restricted, don't attempt to circumvent the restriction using alternative accounts, identities, networks, or technical methods.

Attempts to repeatedly evade moderation may result in additional restrictions.

9. Common Sense

Not everything needs a rule.

Use common sense, don't intentionally ruin the experience for everyone else, and remember that there are real people on the other side of the screen.

If something isn't explicitly prohibited here, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is acceptable if it clearly constitutes abuse, illegal activity, or a serious threat to the community.

10. Moderation

Puggle aims to keep moderation minimal.

We generally do not moderate opinions, political views, controversial discussions, humor, insults, or offensive language simply because someone dislikes them.

Moderation primarily exists to deal with illegal activity, exploitation, serious abuse, spam, security threats, and abuse of the platform.

Zero Censorship

Puggle believes in zero censorship and maximum freedom of expression.

You don't have to agree with anyone. You don't have to like what someone says. You don't even have to be polite all the time.

Say what you think. Discuss controversial subjects. Challenge other people's opinions. Have fun.

Just keep it legal, don't seriously harm others, and don't abuse the platform.
