Community rules
Pofu · Erek Studio
Zero tolerance
There is zero tolerance for the following, and no warning is owed before we act on it:
- Harassment, bullying, threats, or encouraging anyone to hurt themselves.
- Hate or slurs against anyone for who they are.
- Sexual content, or anything sexual involving minors in any form.
- Scams, spam, advertising, or selling.
- Asking anyone for money, gift cards, codes or investments.
- Sharing phone numbers, email addresses, links, or accounts on other apps in rooms or profiles, or anyone else’s details anywhere. In an accepted one-to-one chat, Chat+ members may share their own once the other person has written at least three messages, unless that person has turned it off.
- Pretending to be someone else.
- Using the chat if you are under 18 (under 19 in Korea).
What happens when a rule is broken
Messages are checked automatically when they are sent and again by an AI model from Anthropic. A message that breaks a rule is not delivered or is withdrawn. Repeated breaks mute the account for 24 hours, and serious or repeated breaks end in a permanent ban. A message that three different people report is hidden automatically. Every report is acted on within 24 hours.
Player rooms
Rooms that players create follow every rule above, and so do their names and descriptions. A room’s owner may remove anyone from their room; a removed person cannot rejoin it. Anyone can report a room with the flag in its menu; a room that three different people report is hidden, and rooms used to break the rules are closed and their owners’ accounts handled as above.
Report and block
Tap the flag on any message or profile to report it; it disappears for you at once, and reporting someone also blocks them for you. Blocking someone hides you from each other and closes your conversation. Both are always free of charge and work immediately. A first message from someone new arrives as a request, and they cannot write again until you reply. In the chat’s settings, “Who can message me” lets you choose everyone, only people of your gender, or nobody.
AI assistants
Guide_AI and Buddy_AI are AI bots, not people, and their names and profiles say so. Everything above applies to what you send them, and their replies are checked by the same rules and AI model before anyone sees them. You can report or block them like anyone else. Do not share private details with them.
Child safety standards
Erek Studio has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE): child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, sextortion, and any sexual content involving a minor. These standards apply to the player chat in Pofu and in every other Erek Studio game with the chat.
- Adults only. The chat is for people 18 or older (19 or older in Korea). A birth year that does not show an adult closes the chat for that account, and the same sign-in cannot open a new one.
- Checked by rules and by AI. Every message, room name and room description is checked by automatic rules before it is posted, and by an AI model: right after posting for messages, which are withdrawn when it flags them, and before a public room is listed for room names and descriptions. Profile photos are checked for nudity and for children before anyone can see them; a photo that fails is never stored.
- Report in the app. The flag on any message, profile or room reports it; reports are acted on within 24 hours. Anyone, player or not, can also write to the contact below.
- What we do. Content that sexualizes a minor is removed at once and the account is banned for good. We keep the evidence that the law requires and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or to the competent national authority, and we cooperate with law enforcement.

Your account
You can delete your chat account at any time in the chat: Settings → Delete chat account, or without the app as described on the account deletion page. What we keep and for how long is in the privacy policy; the chat’s terms and Chat+ are in the terms.
