Community Guidelines

Be welcoming

• Use inclusive language. Slurs, discrimination, and personal attacks have no place here.
• Celebrate great guesses — your own and others. DOODLE5 is about having fun, not tearing people down.
• New players are welcome. If someone is learning the game, be kind.

Usernames and display names

• Your username is visible to other players on leaderboards. Choose something you'd be proud to show publicly.
• Offensive, hateful, or obscene usernames are not allowed — including deliberate misspellings, character substitutions (e.g. replacing letters with numbers or symbols to spell slurs), or names intended to demean or harm others.
• Accounts with violating usernames will have their name forcibly reset to a safe, randomly assigned placeholder. Repeated violations may result in account restrictions or a ban.
• If you see a username that violates these guidelines, please report it to safety@doodle5.com.

Play with integrity

• Leaderboard positions should reflect real play. Do not use scripts, lookups, or any tool to inflate your score.
• Cheating or falsifying scores will result in leaderboard removal. Refer to our House Rules for the full enforcement policy.
• Do not advertise, sell, or solicit accounts, scores, or any paid advantage to other players.

Keep it safe

• Do not share personal information about yourself or others in any public-facing area of DOODLE5.
• Report safety concerns, abusive usernames, or suspicious behavior to safety@doodle5.com.
• Respect applicable laws and platform policies when interacting with the game or community.

Profile pictures

• Profile pictures are visible to other players on leaderboards and in your public profile. Choose an image that is appropriate for all audiences.
• Uploading nudity, graphic violence, hate symbols, or any other inappropriate imagery is strictly prohibited.
• DOODLE5 reserves the right to remove any profile picture that violates these guidelines, revoke a player's ability to upload images, or ban an account for repeated or egregious violations.
• If you see an inappropriate profile picture, please report it to safety@doodle5.com.

DOODLE5 Discussions

After completing or attempting each day's puzzle, you can open the discussion feed for any of the six drawings — the five clue images and the mystery DOODLE5 — to share reactions and chat with the community.

• Discussions are unlocked only after you have finished (solved or used all guesses) the current puzzle. This keeps the chat spoiler-safe for players still playing.
• All community guidelines apply in discussions — no slurs, hate speech, harassment, or obscene content. An automated content filter blocks prohibited language, including leet-speak and character substitutions.
• Do not post spoilers, links to external sites, advertising, or personal information about yourself or others.
• Messages are limited to 500 characters. You may send up to 10 messages per drawing per day.
• A 5-second cooldown applies between messages to prevent spam.
• Messages persist and are visible to all authenticated players by default. Use the filter bar to limit what you see to friends, rivals, or your own messages.
• Your own messages are always visible in your chat view regardless of which filter is active.
• DOODLE5 reserves the right to remove any message, restrict discussion access, or ban accounts for violations of these guidelines.
• To report an abusive message, contact safety@doodle5.com.
