Community Standards

Book of Mormon Games is a scripture study app for families. Limited social features (display names, avatars, friends, group challenges) are available to signed-in users. These features come with rules, and these rules apply equally to everyone.

If you encounter content or behavior that violates these standards, please report it.

The following are not allowed anywhere user content can appear in the app — display names, custom avatars, group names, challenge invitations, or any future user-content surface:

• Sexual content — sexually explicit imagery, suggestive content, or sexualized depictions of any person.
• Violence and gore — graphic depictions of violence, bodily harm, or threats of violence.
• Harassment — bullying, intimidation, doxxing, or repeated unwanted contact directed at another user.
• Hate speech — content that demeans, threatens, or incites violence against people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected attributes.
• Deceptive content — impersonating another person, organization, or public figure; misleading users about who you are.
• Illegal content — content that promotes or depicts illegal activity, including drug sales, weapons trafficking, or fraud.
• Self-harm content — content that promotes, glorifies, or instructs self-harm or suicide.
• Spam and scams — unsolicited promotional content, links to fraudulent schemes, malware, or phishing.
• Sharing private information— disclosing another person's private contact, address, or identifying information without consent.

The sexual abuse, exploitation, or endangerment of children (CSAE) is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. This includes, without limitation, sexual or sexually suggestive imagery of minors, grooming behavior, sexual solicitation of minors, or any other content or conduct that sexualizes children.

Reporting to authorities. Confirmed reports of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other CSAE content will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) through their CyberTipline, as required by United States law (18 U.S.C. § 2258A). We cooperate with law enforcement investigations as required.

Accounts involved in CSAE are terminated immediately and permanently, with no warning, notice, or recovery option. Evidence is preserved per applicable law.

Inside the app (preferred)

Tap any user's display name or avatar to open their profile preview, then tap Report or Block. Reporting from inside the app gives us the context we need (which content, which round, which user) to investigate quickly.

Email fallback

For child-safety concerns, urgent reports, or anything you can't surface through the in-app flow:

• Child-safety reports: safety@scripturegamesapp.com
• Other reports / appeals / general questions: support@scripturegamesapp.com

Please include: your account email (if you have one), the username or display name of the person being reported, a description of what happened, and approximate time/date.

When you block another user from inside the app:

• You stop seeing their display name and avatar in friend lists, group rosters, and challenge surfaces.
• They stop seeing yours.
• You can no longer send each other challenges, friend requests, or group invitations.
• Existing pending interactions with that user are dropped on both sides.

Blocking does not delete the other account, does not delete prior shared history that occurred before the block, and is not a substitute for reporting prohibited content. If you see content that violates these standards, please report it as well as block.

Blocks are durable until you choose to unblock.

When we receive a report or detect a violation, our possible responses range across the following, applied at our discretion based on severity, intent, and history:

1. Warning — for minor or borderline violations. We may notify the user that their content or behavior is at issue and ask for a change.
2. Content removal — we remove the offending display name, avatar, or other content. The user may be required to choose new content before continuing.
3. Feature restriction — we may temporarily suspend access to social features (friends, groups, challenges) while keeping core game access.
4. Account suspension — temporary loss of all account access, typically 24 hours to 30 days.
5. Account termination — permanent loss of access, with no recovery option. Active subscriptions are not refunded on termination for cause.

Repeat violations

Repeated violations — even of minor categories — escalate the response. Three sustained reports for the same conduct typically result in account suspension; further violations after a warning or suspension typically result in termination.

Severe violations

Some categories — CSAE, credible threats of violence, doxxing, coordinated harassment, malware/scam distribution — bypass the warning ladder and result in immediate termination on first confirmed violation.

We reserve the right to remove content or terminate accounts at our discretion, with or without prior notice, when we believe doing so is necessary to protect users — particularly children — or the integrity of the app. We try to be fair and proportionate, but we will not allow process formalities to delay action when safety is at stake.

We may take down user content (a display name, custom avatar, group name, etc.) before completing an investigation if the content appears to violate these standards and waiting could expose other users to harm. The user will have an opportunity to respond after the fact.

If you believe a moderation action against your account was made in error, email safety@scripturegamesapp.com (for child-safety related actions) or support@scripturegamesapp.com (for other actions) within 30 days. Include your account email, the action taken, and your reasoning. We will review and respond, though appeals are not guaranteed to overturn the decision.

We may update these Community Standards from time to time. The updated standards will be posted at this URL with a new "Last Updated" date. Material changes will also be surfaced inside the App.
