Content rules

The spirit

Yourdoku mysteries are friendly puzzles: a missing cake, a broken vase, a stolen trophy. A playful “culprit” is fine. Being mean to real people is not.

Not allowed

• Harassment, bullying or making fun of someone to hurt them.
• Saying false or harmful things about real people (defamation), or accusing real people of real crimes.
• Sexual content of any kind.
• Hate or insults about who people are (origin, religion, gender, disability, sexuality and similar).
• Graphic violence, self-harm or anything that encourages danger.
• Personal data such as addresses, phone numbers, school names or other private details.
• Content you don't have the right to use, such as copied stories or other people's photos.
• Spam, advertising or links to other sites.

Using real names

It's great to star your friends and family, but only if they would be happy about it. Use first names or nicknames, keep descriptions kind, and remove someone if they ask.

Photos

• Only upload photos you took or have permission to use.
• Everyone in the photo must agree to be in it.
• Never upload photos of children without consent from their parent or guardian.
• No photos that are sexual, violent, or that show private documents or places.

When you upload a photo you confirm you have these rights and consent. Photos are checked before they appear in public cases; until then, a drawn avatar is shown instead.

Public cases

Cases shared with “Everyone” are reviewed by our team before they appear in the catalogue. While waiting, they work like “Anyone with the link”.

Reporting a problem

Every case has a Report button. Use it for spoilers, broken puzzles, offensive content or personal data. We look at reports as soon as we can and may hide a case while we check it. If you are in a case and want it removed, report it and say so.

Appeals

If we removed something of yours and you think it was a mistake, tell us and a person will look at it again. The way to contact us will be added here before launch.

What happens if rules are broken

We may hide or remove the content, stop it from being shared, or limit or close the account. Serious or repeated problems lead to stronger action. Illegal content may be reported to the authorities.
