You can't get ambushed on Weered.
No surprise gore in a lobby, no stranger flashing something at you, no throwaway account that dumps garbage and vanishes. Safety is built into how the place runs, not bolted on after. Here's exactly how.
Every image is screened before you ever see it
Images are where things go wrong fastest, so we check every single one, twice. When you attach a picture, your own device checks it first, before it even uploads. If it's pornographic or violent, it stops right there and never leaves your machine.
Anything that does upload gets checked again on our servers and re-encoded, which quietly strips out hidden data like the GPS coordinates baked into the photo. Nothing reaches another person unprocessed.
Posting images is earned, not given
New accounts can't post media at all. You unlock it by actually being part of the community for a while, and once you can, every image you share puts your reputation on the table. Post something that breaks the rules and you lose your standing and your posting rights in one shot. A burner somebody spun up five minutes ago to cause trouble simply can't post a picture. That kills most of the problem before it starts.
You decide what shows up
Pictures from people who haven't built a track record yet stay blurred until you tap to see them. Pictures from established members show normally. Either way, one tap reports anything.
Removed stays removed
When staff pull an image, we take a fingerprint of it and block that fingerprint across the whole platform, for good. Anyone who tries to re-upload the same thing fails automatically and loses their posting rights for trying. We keep the fingerprint, not the picture.
Some things aren't a house-rules matter
They're a call-the-authorities matter. Weered follows Canadian law on reporting child sexual abuse material, and reports of anything illegal get escalated immediately, not queued. The report button is in the app, and safety@weered.ca reaches a real person.
The people keeping order aren't all faceless staff
Reputation is the backbone of the whole thing. The longer you're around and the straighter you play, the more you can do, and the most trusted members run real moderation in their own lobbies. We're rolling out regional moderators too, people who actually know the local scene, for location-based communities. Staff sit above all of it for the serious calls.
You've got your own switches
- Block anyone and they're gone from your world.
- Choose who can drop into your session or invite you somewhere: everyone, friends only, or nobody.
- Mute a loud room without leaving it.
None of this needs a ticket or a request. It's sitting in your settings.
Adult spaces are walled off and opt-in
They only exist inside subspaces people create on purpose, you have to choose to walk in, and they never bleed into the main experience. Never opt in, never see them.
For parents
If your kid is on here, the one-sentence version: they can't be shown an image they didn't choose to look at, and anything genuinely illegal goes straight to the authorities under Canadian law instead of into a backlog. Strangers can't force their way into your kid's session or their inbox unless your kid lets them. Adult areas are opt-in and don't touch the main platform. If something slips through anyway, the report button is one tap and a real person reads it. You can reach us straight at safety@weered.ca.
If you see something, report it.
The report button is everywhere there's content, and safety@weered.ca goes to a real person. We'd rather get a report that turns out fine than miss one that didn't.
