Community Guidelines
1. Be respectful
Treat other people as people. Share useful experiences, ask questions in good faith, and respect different backgrounds, identities, cultures and travel choices.
Do not harass, bully, threaten, stalk, intimidate, shame or repeatedly contact someone after they have asked you to stop. Do not encourage others to target a person.
2. Keep Waythread safe
Do not post or send:
- credible threats, instructions for violence, or content that encourages self-harm;
- sexual exploitation, sexual content involving minors, or sexual content shared without consent;
- hateful attacks or dehumanising abuse based on protected characteristics;
- non-consensual intimate images, doxxing, private contact details or other sensitive personal information;
- content that facilitates trafficking, exploitation, dangerous illegal activity or serious harm; or
- malware, phishing links or instructions intended to compromise another person’s account or device.
3. Share authentic travel content
Do not impersonate another person, invent affiliations, manipulate reviews or deliberately misrepresent travel experiences in a way that deceives people. Do not use stolen photos, videos or writing.
Be careful when sharing live locations, accommodation details, travel dates, documents or information that could put you or someone else at risk. Waythread does not verify every travel claim, recommendation, event or user.
4. No spam or abuse
- Do not use Waythread for scams, fraud, unsolicited advertising, pyramid schemes or repetitive promotional messages.
- Do not manipulate follows, likes, comments or reports, or use bots, scraping tools or other automation without permission.
- Do not create multiple accounts to evade restrictions or interfere with another person’s experience.
- Do not attempt to bypass privacy controls, access another account, or interfere with Waythread’s systems.
5. Respect ownership and privacy
Only upload or share content when you have the necessary rights and permissions. Respect copyright, trade marks, privacy, publicity and other legal rights.
Do not publish another person’s name, address, phone number, email, workplace, travel itinerary, identification document or precise location without a lawful and appropriate reason and their permission.
6. Reporting and blocking
Use the in-app report tool when content or behaviour breaches these guidelines. Reports should be honest, specific and limited to information relevant to the issue. Misusing reports to target someone is itself a violation.
You can block users from their profile or conversation. Blocking is an important first step for unwanted contact; report serious or repeated abuse as well. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
7. How we moderate
We may review reports and use automated safety and rate-limit controls. Depending on the circumstances, we may remove content, limit its visibility, restrict a feature, suspend an account or permanently end access. We may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary for safety, law enforcement or legal obligations.
We aim to apply these guidelines consistently, but we cannot review every item immediately and cannot guarantee that all harmful content will be detected. Context matters, and we may consider intent, history, severity and risk of harm.
8. Appeals and support
If you believe content or an account action was incorrect, contact waythreadapp@gmail.com with the relevant username, a description of the decision and any context you want us to consider. Do not send passwords, verification codes or access tokens.
For general help, visit Support. For the legal rules applying to use of Waythread, see the Terms of Service.
9. Our 18+ age requirement
Waythread is intended only for people aged 18 or over. Do not create an account for someone under 18 or help them bypass this requirement. Contact us if you believe someone under 18 is using Waythread.
10. Updates
We may update these guidelines as Waythread and community risks change. We will update the date above and may provide additional notice for significant changes.
