Community Guidelines

Whispi is a platform on which users can ask each other questions anonymously. While anonymity makes curiosity and sincerity easier, it can also make bullying easier. These rules aim to prevent bullying.

The rules apply to everyone: members, guest askers and profile owners. They are an integral part of the Terms of Use; breaking a rule is also a breach of the Terms. Content that breaks the rules may be removed, accounts may be suspended and, where necessary, competent authorities may be notified.

The basic principle is that there is a real person on the other side. Do not write anything that you would not say face to face merely because you are anonymous.

The fact that something is not on this list does not mean it is allowed; Whispi reserves the right to remove content that harms others or threatens the safety of the platform.

• Anonymity does not entitle you to hurt others. Insults, threats and harassment give rise to legal liability even when made anonymously; the sender information of questions is recorded and may be disclosed upon a duly made request from competent authorities.
• You cannot withdraw a question you have sent. If the profile owner answers it, the question becomes public and you cannot delete it.
• Questions containing a phone number or email address are rejected automatically. Do not share your own contact details either; this rule is intended to protect your safety.
• If the profile owner uses Broadcast Mode, your question may appear in a live broadcast before it is answered.
• Persistently sending questions to the same person, continuing by other means after being blocked or targeting the same person with several accounts counts as harassment.

• Your username, display name and bio also go through moderation and are subject to the same rules.
• Usernames that evoke someone else's name, brand or identity may be reset. Parody and fan accounts are accepted if this is clearly stated in the bio.
• The rules in section 2 also apply to avatars, covers and images in questions and answers. The location and device information of images is deleted when they are uploaded.
• GIFs come from Klipy and are subject to Klipy's own filter; if you see an inappropriate GIF, please report it.
• Spotify and social media links must belong to your own accounts.

Automated moderation. Everything written and every image uploaded goes through automated moderation before it is published. There are three possible outcomes:

• Passed

  What happens

  The content is published

  What is shown to you

  No notice is shown

• To be reviewed

  What happens

  The content is published, a record is opened for the team and the page is temporarily hidden from search engines

  What is shown to you

  No notice is shown; the content may be removed after the team's review

• Rejected

  What happens

  The content is not published

  What is shown to you

  The reason category (e.g. "harassment")

Automated moderation may produce incorrect results: very rarely, inappropriate content may pass, and in some cases appropriate content may be rejected. If you believe your content was rejected in error, you may appeal (section 7). Automated moderation never suspends or bans an account; such decisions are made only by the Whispi team.

Review by the team. The Whispi team reviews reports and content flagged "to be reviewed" from the admin panel. The team can see from which account or guest number the content was sent when reviewing reports; information such as email and IP is masked by default, and access to this information is logged.

Whispi does not generally monitor users' content; moderation runs automatically at the moment of publishing, and after that content is only reviewed following a report or a flag.

Members and guests may report questions, answers, follow-up messages, profiles and ads. To report, choose "Report" from the menu next to the content, select the reason (harassment, hate, spam, personal information, self-harm, other) and optionally add a note; if you are a member, you can block the person at the same time.

After a report:

• If a profile owner reports a question in their inbox, the question is hidden immediately.
• A copy of the content is taken with the report; the team can review it even if the content is deleted later.
• The reported person is not told who reported them; they are not told that they were reported either.
• The team reviews the report and closes it with one of these outcomes: dismiss, hide the content, delete the content, suspend the account, ban the IP.
• The outcome of a report is not separately communicated to the reporter; it can be inferred from whether the content has been removed.

Malicious or mass fake reports are also a breach of the rules.

Appeals. For rejected content, a hidden page or a suspended account, you may apply to support@whispi.io. Please state which content or account is concerned and why you consider the decision incorrect. The appeal is reviewed by a member of the Whispi team within 15 days at the latest, and you are informed of the result. You also have the right under the KVKK to object to automated moderation decisions.

If you are going through a hard time, you are not alone. Lines you can reach 24/7 in Türkiye: 112 (emergency), 182 (Ministry of Health psychosocial support). Whispi is not a support service, and anonymous questions are no substitute for professional help.

If someone's life is in danger, call 112.

These rules are version 1.0 and are effective as of November 13, 2026. Changes that introduce new prohibitions or sanctions are announced with an in-app notification and take effect 15 days after the announcement; for changes that explain or correct, only the version and date on this page are updated.
