Community Rules
A club is a group of anglers who fish the same water. The rules are simple and keep things useful, calm and free of surprises. They apply to all channels, reports, comments and direct messages.
Please do
- Share catches, tackle, bait, weather and conditions on the water.
- Ask questions and answer them, even the simplest ones.
- Argue about gear on the merits, not about the person.
- Release fish and tell people about it.
Don’t
- Insult, harass or threaten anyone, or promote hatred against any group.
- Poach: nets, electrofishing, explosives or poison, fishing in closed seasons or areas, selling protected species. This covers advice, photos and “jokes” too.
- Share other people’s personal data: phone numbers, addresses, photos of people without consent, or someone else’s secret spots and coordinates shared with you in confidence.
- Present dangerous advice as fact, such as “the ice is safe” when you’re not sure. If you’re unsure, say so.
- Spam or advertise without the club ranger’s permission, including links to outside shops, channels and chats.
- Post adult content, violence or animal cruelty.
- Impersonate another person, a ranger or the WatchFlow team.
- Do anything illegal.
Moderation
Each club’s ranger and wardens keep order: they pin what matters and remove what breaks the rules. The WatchFlow team reviews reports and handles disputes.
- Report by long-pressing a message → Report. On a profile, use the “…” menu → Report.
- Block from the same menus. A blocked person can’t message you, and their messages are hidden.
- Filter in Settings → Hidden words and Who can message me.
We review reports of serious violations within 24 hours. Depending on the violation we remove content, temporarily restrict posting or block the account. Poaching, threats and sharing other people’s personal data lead to an immediate block.
