Community guidelines

Last updated 8 November 2026

Pauci is a small room: one sentence a day, a few friends, one line each. These rules keep it a good one.

Not allowed, ever

We have zero tolerance for abusive content and abusive people. This is never allowed on Pauci:

• Bullying, harassment, insults aimed at a person, or threats.
• Hate against people for who they are (race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age).
• Sexual content, and anything that sexualises a minor.
• Violence, or encouraging anyone to hurt themselves or others.
• Anything illegal: selling drugs or weapons, scams, fraud.
• Sharing someone’s private information (address, phone number, private photos, documents).
• Links, @handles, email addresses and phone numbers in lines and evening answers (Pauci is not a way to move people elsewhere).
• Spam, impersonation, and accounts made to get around a ban.

How we keep it

Every line, evening answer, name and username passes a filter before it is shared. Some texts are refused with a request to edit them; borderline ones are shared and a moderator looks at them.

If what you write sounds like you might hurt yourself, it is not shared, and we show you where to find help. You are not in trouble; please talk to someone.

Report and block

Every card, profile and username has Report. The person is never told who reported them. What you report disappears for you at once.

When a friend in your circle reports a card, it is hidden for everyone until we have looked at it.

Block ends the friendship, and neither of you sees the other anywhere in Pauci again. The person is not told. Every block is also sent to us to look at.

Without the app, report at pauciapp.com/report or write to hello@pauciapp.com.

Our promise: within 24 hours

We act on every report within 24 hours. Content we confirm breaks these rules is removed within 24 hours, and its author is removed from Pauci.

For borderline cases we may first warn, then pause writing for 7 days.

Threats, any sexual content involving a minor, and sharing someone’s private information close the account at once. Closed accounts cannot come back with a new account.

If we act on your account

We tell you which rule and why. If you think we got it wrong, write to hello@pauciapp.com from the app’s Settings or with your @username; a person reads every appeal.
