Community Guidelines
Last updated: date
The community areas of Rolls Pending — the Commons (sharing homebrew) and the Boards (community discussion) — exist so people can share what they've made and talk about the games they love. These guidelines are the standard everything public is held to. They apply to all content other users can see: published homebrew and campaign packs, Boards posts, your public profile (username, avatar, About-me block), and anything else with a public audience label.
Rolls Pending is a 16+ platform — every account holder has confirmed they are 16 or older, and that shapes these rules: this is a community of teens and adults, and mature content still lives behind an 18+ gate.
They're short on purpose. The spirit is simple: be the person other people want at their table.
1. Respect the people at the table
No harassment, threats, hate speech, slurs, or targeting of people based on who they are. No sexualised content directed at, depicting, or soliciting minors — this is an absolute line and results in immediate removal and account termination, and where appropriate, a report to authorities. Disagreement is fine; contempt is not.
2. Flag mature content
If anything you publish — homebrew, a campaign pack, a Boards post — contains mature themes (graphic violence, horror, sexual content, or similar), you must flag it R18 when you post it. Mature-flagged content is hidden entirely from users under 18. Posting mature content unflagged, or trying to route mature content around the gate, is a serious breach. (Tone chips and lines-and-veils on a campaign are consent tools between the people at a table — they are not a substitute for the R18 flag on anything public.)
3. Share only what's yours to share
The Commons is for your homebrew. Publishing reproduces content to other people, so:
- Don't publish other people's copyrighted material — and specifically, don't publish published game rules text (rulebook text, stat blocks copied from books, paid content, licensed setting material). "It's for a game we all own" doesn't make it yours to redistribute. There's a report reason specifically for this. The same rule applies to the Boards — don't paste rules text into posts.
- Publishing includes a confirmation that the work is your own or that you have the right to share it. That attestation is real — we rely on it, and so does everyone who installs your work.
- Inspired-by is fine. Homebrew in the style of a system you love is the point of the Commons. Copy-paste from the book is not.
Our full posture, including how takedowns work, is in the Content & IP Position.
4. Keep it honest, keep it on topic
Say what your homebrew actually is — accurate titles, pitches, and change notes. Don't use the Commons or the Boards for advertising, spam, self-promotion schemes, or off-platform recruitment. The community areas are for the hobby, not for harvesting an audience.
5. Protect privacy — yours and others'
Don't post other people's personal information (real names, contact details, addresses) anywhere public. Be thoughtful about your own: Rolls Pending deliberately doesn't exchange contact details between users, and we recommend you don't put yours in public posts or profiles either. Play with people you know and trust — the app is built around your existing table, not around meeting strangers.
6. Reporting, blocking, and what happens next
Report. Every public listing, post, and profile has a Report option. Reports go to a human — there is no automated removal. We review against these guidelines and take action that fits: nothing (if it doesn't breach), content removal, feature restrictions, suspension, or termination for serious or repeated breaches. We don't publish moderation statistics or discuss other users' outcomes with reporters.
Block. Blocking someone hides you from each other across the public community surfaces — they don't see your published work and you don't see theirs. Blocking is yours to use freely and the other person isn't notified.
Takedowns are fork-safe. If published homebrew is removed (by us or by its creator), copies that other users already installed stay in their libraries. Removal stops the public listing, not other people's games.
7. Consequences
Most problems are fixed with a conversation or a removed post. Our ladder, applied with judgment rather than mechanically: warning → content removal → feature restriction (e.g. publishing to the community areas) → suspension → termination. Severe breaches — child safety, credible threats, deliberate large-scale infringement — skip the ladder.
If you believe we got a decision wrong, reply to the notification or write to support@rollspending.com and a human will look again.
8. These guidelines evolve
The community is new and these rules will grow with it. Material changes will be announced in the app. The report reasons you see in the app always map to the current version of this document.
