The short version

• Wisp is for getting things off your chest. Post what's actually going on with you — that's the whole point of the place.
• It is not a personals board, a billboard, or a way to funnel people somewhere else. Those posts bury the ones people came here to write.
• Be real. Be kind. Don't be cruel.
• Anonymity is a privilege, not a shield. What you say still has consequences — for others, and for your account.

What the feed is for

• Vents, confessions, questions, things you can't say out loud anywhere else. Heavy or light, messy or considered — all of it belongs.
• Say the thing you actually wanted to say. "I've felt invisible since I moved cities" is a post. "18M, DM me" is not.
• Comments are for responding to the post you're under, not for introducing yourself to whoever wrote it.
• If you want to talk to one person, that's what DMs and anonymous chat are for. Use them instead of the feed.

What doesn't belong in the feed

• Looking for a chat partner. "Any girls up?", "anyone wanna talk", "looking for someone from Delhi" — posts whose only purpose is finding someone to message will be removed.
• Filtering by who you want. Asking for a specific gender, age or body type isn't venting, it's a personal ad.
• Promoting yourself or your stuff. Channels, pages, handles, services, referral links, "follow me for more" — none of it, including in comments and bios.
• Anything sexual. Explicit posts, propositions, hookup or sexting requests, and selling or trading nudes are removed on sight.

Keep it on Wisp

• Don't ask people to move to Telegram, Snap, Instagram, WhatsApp, or a phone number — in a post, a comment, a bio, or a first message to a stranger.
• This is the rule people push back on most, so here's the reasoning: off Wisp there is no report button, no block that sticks, and no one to tell. Almost everything that goes badly wrong starts with "let's talk somewhere else".
• No coded versions either — "dropbox available", "ask for my menu", "check bio". We know what they mean.
• Sharing a link to something you're discussing is fine. Recruiting people off the platform is not.

Real people only

• No bots, scripts, or automation posting, commenting, or opening chats on your behalf.
• No running multiple accounts to boost your own posts, manufacture agreement, or get around a block or suspension.
• No copy-pasted openers sent to dozens of people. If a stranger couldn't tell your message was written for them, don't send it.
• Don't flood the feed, a thread, or someone's inbox with repetitive content.

Respect people in chats and comments

• No harassment, hate speech, or targeted bullying — anonymous or otherwise.
• No shaming someone for their body, looks, income, job, caste, religion, gender, sexuality, or anything they told you in confidence. Someone opening up is not an opening to mock them.
• No pressuring anyone for photos, details, or a conversation they've stepped away from. "No" ends it; so does silence. Keep messaging after that and you're harassing.
• Don't pile onto someone because a post made them an easy target.
• Disagreeing is fine. Being cruel is not.

Child safety

• Nothing sexual involving a minor, ever, anywhere on Wisp. No exceptions, no "joking", no roleplay.
• Don't ask a stranger their age to work out whether to come on to them. Age-probing an unknown person in a sexual context is treated as grooming.
• If you think the person you're talking to is under 18, stop the conversation and report it. Don't keep going, and don't try to handle it yourself.
• Accounts are terminated for this, and confirmed material is reported to NCMEC and Indian cybercrime authorities. Our full policy is on the Child Safety page.

Be yourself, even anonymously

• Share genuine thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Wisp is built for authenticity.
• Don't create fake or misleading posts to manipulate how others feel or act.
• Don't impersonate other users, public figures, or Wisp staff.

Keep it safe

• No graphic violence or gore.
• No threats of violence, and nothing that encourages anyone to hurt themselves.
• No content that glorifies or promotes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
• Talking about your own struggle with any of these is not the same thing, and is welcome here. See the note at the end.

Protect privacy

• Don't share someone else's personal information without their consent — including name, address, phone number, or photos.
• Don't attempt to unmask or identify anonymous users.
• Don't screenshot and share private DM conversations outside Wisp without the other person's agreement.

Legal content only

• Don't post content that infringes copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights.
• Don't share content that is illegal in your jurisdiction or the jurisdictions of people you're interacting with.
• Don't use Wisp to coordinate or facilitate illegal activity.

How we enforce these guidelines

• Some content is removed automatically. An automated filter looks for sexual content and solicitation and takes down what it is confident about. It is not perfect, and a person reviews what it flags.
• Everything else comes from reports. We review them and act — removing content, warning the account, suspending it, or terminating it, depending on what happened and what came before.
• When we remove something, @Wisp messages you to say what went and why. If we got it wrong and put it back, we'll tell you that too.
• If you think a decision was a mistake, message @WispTeam or email hello@veridianstudio.in. Enforcement decisions are made by our team, but we would rather hear about the ones we got wrong.
• Serious violations — content involving minors, credible threats, anything requiring legal action — go straight to termination and, where required, to law enforcement.

Reporting

• Use the in-app report button on any post, comment, or message that breaks these guidelines. It's the fastest way to get something looked at.
• Don't argue with it in the replies. Engaging pushes the post up the feed and gives whoever wrote it what they wanted — report it and move on.
• For urgent safety concerns, email us directly at hello@veridianstudio.in.
• False or bad-faith reports may result in action against the reporting account.

A note on mental health

• Wisp is meant to be a place where people feel safe being honest. Nothing above is meant to stop you saying something dark, frank or ugly about your own life — that is what this app is for, and describing what happened to you is never the thing we remove.
• If you see someone in distress, be kind. A small gesture of warmth can matter more than you know.
• If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out to a local mental health helpline or emergency services.
