wookFM — content policy house rules for the forest floor

What wookFM is

A 24/7 virtual forest rave. You make a raver, you stand on a dance floor with other people, music plays, and you send each other small virtual gifts. Everything on the floor is a drawing. Nothing here is real, purchasable, or obtainable.

Age

18+. The floor depicts a nightlife environment with nightlife themes. Don't use wookFM if you're under 18. We ask on entry; we can't verify it, and we're not pretending otherwise.

The gift rail — read this part

Some virtual gifts are named after recreational drugs (💊 molly, 🌈 acid, 🍄 shrooms). They are free pixel animations that tint the screen. They are inert. Specifically:

• They are not instructions, dosing information, sourcing, or encouragement. Nothing in this product describes how to obtain or take any substance, and nothing ever will.
• Sending one changes some colours for roughly 15–22 seconds and adds a line to a chat feed.
• The code that implements them carries this rule in writing — src/app/trip-effects.js and src/logic/tripsim.js both state that they control presentation only and contain no real-world substance guidance. That constraint is a product rule, not a comment.
• SafetyBot replies to gifts in this category with harm-reduction lines. It is not decoration and must not be removed or silenced.
• The 🧪 test kit and 🚑 Narcan gifts are free virtual effects, not purchases, donations, or delivery of physical supplies. Harm reduction is part of the joke's punchline, not an afterthought to it.

If this framing isn't for you, that's completely fair — the site isn't for everyone.

Chat rules

Live chat is moderated by filter and rate limit (3 messages per window, 140 characters). Beyond that, don't:

• harass, threaten, sexualise, or pile onto anyone
• post hate speech targeting who someone is
• post sexual content involving minors, ever — this is the one rule with no discussion attached
• share anyone's personal information, yours or someone else's
• advertise, sell, solicit, or spam
• give real-world sourcing, dosing, or acquisition advice for any drug — the bit stays a bit
• impersonate staff, DJs, or other ravers

Chat has automated filtering and rate limits. Additional moderation tools are still being developed. See Reporting below to raise a concern.

Music

Tracks stream through SoundCloud's official widget and play from their platform. We rotate a curated catalog and credit the artist on the booth and in the now-playing bar. Artists: if your track is in rotation and you want it out, tell us and it comes out immediately — no argument, no process.

Free gifts and customization

All virtual gifts and avatar choices are free. There is no wallet, credit balance, purchase, or donation attached to giving a gift.

Privacy

Guest sessions are name-only. We store a display name, a session cookie, your avatar's appearance, your kandi and floor stats, and your chat lines. While you're on the floor your avatar's position is shared with the people on the floor so they see you move; it is kept in memory only and dropped when you leave.

Sign in with Google (optional). If you choose to sign in with Google, Google tells us your Google account ID, your email address and that it's verified. We use them only to recognise you so your name, look, kandi and stats follow you across devices. Your email is stored privately on our server, is never shown to other ravers or put in any public page, and is never sold or shared. Other people only ever see the rave name you pick. To have your account and its data deleted, contact the admin and we'll remove it.

We don't run ads and we don't sell anything to anyone. Chat is retained to a rolling cap (500 lines) and is visible to everyone on the floor — treat it as public, because it is. We count visits with one-way hashes so we can see how many people came by, not who they are.

Reporting

Tell an admin in chat. Anything involving a minor, a credible threat, or someone's safety goes to the top of the queue ahead of everything else.

Changes

This policy changes as the site does. It lives in the repo, so its history is public.

Public chat is stored by wookFM.
