The Tent Rules

One shared tent for strangers. Respect, kindness, anonymity, and staying in the room.

Bored People Chat is one shared tent for strangers on the internet.

No accounts. No DMs. No scoreboard.

You can drop in, say hi, lurk, talk for a while, or leave.

Please keep the tent safe enough for the next bored person.

Respect each other

Treat people like people.

No harassment, hate, threats, stalking, dogpiling, or targeted cruelty.

No sexual pressure. "I'm bored" is not consent.

Be kind

A small reply can change someone's night.

Lurking is fine. Awkwardness is fine.

Do not mock people for being lonely, grieving, confused, or vulnerable.

Stay anonymous

This is for your safety.

Do not share your real name, phone number, address, school, workplace, social handles, payment apps, or anything that can identify you.

Do not ask others for theirs.

Stay in the tent

Do not try to move people to Discord, Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, payment apps, or private channels.

There are no DMs here on purpose.

A shared room is safer than a hidden thread.

Report bad behavior

Tap a nickname to report someone.

Some messages may be redacted or removed. Some users may be limited or blocked.

Stay kind. Stay anonymous. Stay in the tent.

If something feels wrong, trust that feeling.
