Community Rules
Effective: November 11, 2026
hUlahoot is a town full of hungry neighbours — many of them students — and the people who cook for them. Keep it friendly.
Be good to players
- No harassment, bullying, threats, hate speech or slurs — about anyone's race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality, disability or any other part of who they are.
- No sexual content, and no pressuring anyone to meet up.
- Don't share anyone's personal information — real names, phone numbers, addresses, social accounts — including your own in chat.
- No spam, scams, ads, or links to other services.
Be good to shops
- Be polite to staff. The secret dish is a special offer from the shop.
- Show up for what you book, or let it expire — don't book just to block others.
- Pay the shop at pickup. Don't resell tickets or food.
News board and town chat
- Post real news only — free food, a shop that's open, something happening in town. Don't post fake news, ads or spam.
- Pin the place where it really is. Vote REAL or NOT REAL honestly — don't team up to push or bury a post.
- Posts that readers report are hidden until we check them.
Kind words
- No swearing, slurs, sexual words or rude slang — in any language. The app stops them before they are sent, in town chat, messages, the news board, the safety map, letters, names and shop menus.
- Trying to get around it (spelling tricks, spaces, symbols) counts as breaking this rule.
Safety map
- Mark only dangers and safe places that are real. Review honestly: STILL THERE only if it is, NOT TRUE / GONE only if it isn't.
- False reports, or using the safety map to keep people away from a shop or a person, lower your trust and can pause your account.
- The safety map comes from players. In an emergency, call 911 first.
Play fair
- One account per person. Don't share, sell or buy accounts.
- Don't cheat, use bugs on purpose, or use bots, scripts or AI agents to book, post or play automatically.
- Don't pretend to be hUlahoot staff, a shop, or another player.
Report and block
Tap a player › MORE › REPORT or BLOCK. In TOWN CHAT, tap a line to report or block. On the NEWS BOARD, tap REPORT under a post. Blocked players disappear from your map and can't greet or chat with you. Every report is reviewed by a person. Shops can report and ban a customer from their shop; we review every shop ban too.Enforcement
- 1st strike: account paused for 3 days (no booking, no chat).
- 2nd strike: account paused for 14 days.
- 3rd strike: account removed.
- Threats of violence, sexual content involving anyone under 18, or illegal activity: account removed at once, and we may contact the authorities.
- A shop ban applies only to that shop.
