Community Guidelines
The basics
- Be respectful. Trash talk is part of fantasy sports. Personal attacks, harassment, and hate are not.
- Be honest. Don’t impersonate others or misrepresent who you are.
- Keep it legal. Don’t use Wovan for anything illegal in the United States.
- Remember who’s in the room. Users may be as young as 13. Keep content suitable for a teen audience.
What is not allowed
You may not post, upload, transmit, or share content that:
- Harasses or bullies another person, including targeted insults, pile-ons, or unwanted repeated contact.
- Hateful conduct. Attacks or demeans a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or serious medical condition.
- Threatens violence or wishes harm on another person.
- Exploits, endangers, or depicts minors in an unsafe context. Content that sexualises minors is reported to the appropriate authorities.
- Depicts or glorifies gratuitous violence, self-harm, or suicide.
- Promotes or facilitates illegal activity, including illegal drugs, weapons sales, or human trafficking.

- Infringes intellectual property you do not have the right to use.

What is not allowed (behavior)
- Account abuse. Creating multiple accounts to evade bans, inflate league sizes, manipulate votes, or harass other users.
- Evasion. Attempting to bypass filters, blocks, or bans — including using deliberately misspelled slurs to evade moderation.
- Unauthorized access. Trying to access accounts, leagues, or data that aren’t yours.
- Automation. Running bots or scripts against the Service.
How we enforce these guidelines
We combine automated tools with human review.
Proactive filtering
Automated filters screen chat, profile text, and league/team names for prohibited content. Filtered material may be blocked at send time, masked, or flagged for human review.
User reporting
Every message, profile, and league has a Report action. You can also email support@wovan.app with the user ID and a description of the problem. We aim to review all reports within 24 hours.
When you report:
- the reported content is reviewed by Wovan moderation;
- we will take action proportional to the severity and history of the violation.
User blocking
You can block any user from their profile or from a chat thread. A blocked user cannot:
- send you messages;
- interact with your posts or reactions.
Consequences
Depending on severity and context, we may:
- Remove the offending content.
- Issue a warning.
- Temporarily restrict chat, league creation, or other features.
- Suspend the account.
- Permanently terminate the account and ban the user from creating new ones.
Violations involving child sexual abuse material, credible threats of violence, or coordinated harassment result in immediate termination and, where required, referral to law enforcement.
Appeals
If you believe enforcement was a mistake, reply to the enforcement notice or email support@wovan.app within 30 days. A moderator who was not involved in the original decision will review your appeal.
Reporting in an emergency
Wovan is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. For concerns about child safety, contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at CyberTipline.org.
