House rules
What are the limits, and who's watching?
Every number here bounds what you can do, not what you can see. A harbor that can be farmed stops being worth turning up to.
What review looks for
Every ship
One question: is this a real thing a real person made? Not a taste test — an unfinished build, an ugly one and an unpopular one all pass.
Reporting something
3 reporters
It takes 3 separate people before anything hides automatically, and a human looks either way.
Not blocking — Reporting asks us to look. Blocking just removes someone from your view.
Blocking a builder
Messages only
in a conversation
They can't message you again or reopen the thread, and nothing is announced. It hides neither of you anywhere else; lift it from Settings.
The caps you might meet
Per person
Four you could plausibly reach in a normal week.
- Help requests
- One live at a time, 7-day cooldown
- Credits
- Up to 3 people thanked per request, or one per tester
- Messages
- 25 new conversations a day; replies aren't capped
- Ideas
- One a day
Not a paid allowance — These are anti-spam, not a meter.
Appearing in the directory
A bio or a ship
A new profile appears once it has anything on it — a bio does that today. Not a toggle and not a queue.
Going into dry dock
Reversible
in Settings
Pause the account: signed out everywhere, profile and ships out of circulation, nothing deleted. Sign back in and it returns as it was.
Not deleting — Dry dock is a door you can walk back through. The next one isn't.
Leaving for good
Permanent
in Settings
What happens if I delete my account?
Your profile is wiped and the sign-in stops. You pick, ship by ship, what goes with you; a ship someone else is credited on passes to them instead.
What trips people up
Limits on purpose, not rough edges.
A help request that runs out doesn't fail in public
It just stops being listed. A countdown that ends in visible failure is worse than never having asked.
A limit that changes never takes anything back
If a cap is lowered, what you already hold stays yours. You simply can't add another until you free a slot.
