Both are silencable. Sometimes chat just doesn't load properly so some comments are missed.

Hi Fam!
It's been a minute since we last posted an update to our silencing policy and with so many new players, we thought it best to give an
Update and Recap of PIMD Silencing Policies

We know that rules laid out below may feel targeting for some users and/or kink-shaming, and that is not the goal here. There is space for all our beloved PIMD players, but there are certain topics that break the rules of our Terms of Use and can be harmful to others. We have to keep the community safe and we hope you can understand.

WHY IS A SILENCING POLICY NECESSARY?
We get that you are all adults and we know that Silencing Policies aren't fun, but they are necessary to make sure the game is a safe place for all. Party in my dorm is a game that is intended for a 17+ audience, but we know that younger players will try to play.

With that being said our priorities here are two fold:

1. We need to make sure public spaces are safe for minors that may find themselves on the game.
2. We need to create a space that is free from harmful/toxic/inappropriate content that may trigger or negatively impact our community.

This recap and update is color coded to make it easier to tell what is OKAY and what is SILENCEABLE.

If you need an update on the basics please read the FAQ at the bottom.

Silencing Policy

Read below what we deem silenceable in public channels. Please note it's not possible to make a list of everything that could possibly be silenceable, but the rules below should make it clear what is acceptable and what is not.
**There are some new clarifications so please be sure to read and be aware of adjustments.**

Inappropriate Content
Posting/soliciting obscene, pornographic, excessively violent, harmful, discriminatory or sexually explicit content. This includes using emojis to create inappropriate art or messages.

SILENCEABLE
Racial Slurs or Hate speech
Words or phrases that discriminate against any group (including terms like "Futa", "She-male")
Graphically Violent Language
Requests for Violent Role play (Use of words like "forced", "abusive","Cnc", "Consensual-non-consensual")
Requests for Bestiality or Incest
References to Self-Harm (this can be triggering for many in the community, if you or someone you know are having thoughts of this nature please reach out for support. Feel free to write in a help ticket and we can share a number of Services that can help.)
Requesting Non-explicit Roleplay in Campus Chat (this only belongs in Pub)
Sexually Explicit Content/Requests (if you wouldn't say it in person, don't say it here. Words like "breeding", "rape/r@pe, etc.)

OKAY
Requesting Non-explicit Roleplay in Pub Chat ("Hot Sexy Ladies wall me!")

Personal Information
Soliciting or sharing personally identifying information of other players or yourself in a public channel.
This information consists of Last Name, Age, Address, Workplace, School, Phone Number or Third Party Contact Information.

You can post your own first name, gender, age (17+), city, state/region, and country if you so choose, but remember once information is out there its hard to control, so be smart!

SILENCABLE
"I live on the corner of 5637 5th Ave, come on over!"
"Add me on IG, @pumpkinsquash"
"-_pumpkinsquash_- is 13!"
"Txt me my number is (555)555-5555!"

OKAY
"Who here is from Cincinnati, OH?"
"My name is Annie and I'm 28."

Underage and Soliciting Underage
17 year olds are allowed to play the game with consent from a parent, but they are not allowed to solicit sexual or inappropriate chat. Any players found to be under 17, that are 17 and soliciting inappropriate chat, or are soliciting players under 18 will have their accounts silenced and/or disabled.

If you are soliciting someone by age in campus you must specify 17+.
If you are soliciting someone by age in pub you must specify 18+.
Use of terms that are deemed to be a bypass for soliciting underage players will result in your account being disabled.

SILENCEABLE
"Looking for young girls"
"Looking for littles"
"Younger boys into older girls slide in my DMs"
"Add me players under 19" (only age under 19 you can solicit is 18, just say 18)
"Teens write on my wall"
"Looking for players 14+"
"RP looking for ANY AGE"
"School girls msg me"

"Looking for friends 17+" (in campus)

"Add me for socials!"
"Message me for off-app fun!"

Intentionally circumventing our chat filters to post a message aimed at another player for the purpose of harassing them. Normal bypassing/swearing is allowed if it is generalized and not directed at others in a mean/aggressive way. Just because they are your friend, doesn't mean that it's not mean or aggressive, so you may still be silenced in those cases.

Modern day slangs such as "thot" and "hoe" are not silence-able.

SILENCEABLE

"B****, I'm coming for you."

OKAY
"Man, rush hour is always such a b****."

Transactions of any type involving any non-game currency (including, but not limited to real-world currency, gift cards, credit transactions, and cryptocurrencies) are not permitted and is subject to action at our discretion.

FAQ

WHAT IS A SILENCE?
A silence is when your account's ability to send messages has been temporarily disabled.
Silences are given to players that break our Silencing Policies.
The Silencing Policies largely reiterate's our Terms of Use, and explicitly clarifies a number of points.
A silence is given out by a Developer or a Player Moderator.

HOW DO SILENCES WORK?
Silences operate on a tiered system, starting at the lowest duration and moving up for your next silence. After your silence has ended, your silence tier will decrease by 1 for every 30 days without additional silences.

Tier 1: 1 day
Tier 2: 7 days
Tier 3: 30 days

We reserve the right to deviate from this policy at our discretion in extreme situations, and in some cases may move straight to a permanent silence or disabling an account completely.

HOW CAN I APPEAL MY SILENCE?
If you have questions about a silence given, you can contact Support directly through in game help.

Please note that you can be silenced for anything that we determine to be inappropriate in our public channels (world chat, walls and status messages).

Remember that just because you write in to appeal, doesn't mean that we will remove your silence. Our Developers and Moderators are well versed in our Silencing Policies and there are not many cases where an appeal is valid.

HOW CAN I REPORT INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR?
If you would like to report any incidents of inappropriate behaviour in public channels in PIMD (world chat, walls, statuses, usernames, club names and descriptions), please message Support through in game help.

In your message, please mention the usernames of those involved, what was said, and when and where in game it occurred.

Private channels (such as PMs, gift notes and club chat) are not moderated in the same way. For these, it’s best to block the player (for personal communication) or speak with your club (for club chat). Some club roles can also silence members for 1 hour in club chat specifically.

Communication that happens outside the game (other than our Discord Server), is unmoderated and we are unable to take action against a player in game based on something outside the game, without direct evidence linking the accounts.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MYSELF OR ANOTHER PLAYER HAVE BEEN SILENCED?
When you are silenced you won't be able to speak in public channels.

If the silence was conducted by a Moderator your Status Message will be cleared and replaced with
"This account is silenced for violations of the Terms of Service".

If the silence was given by a Developer the Player Silenced will have a blank status and they will receive a push notification as to why.

Please note that this will apply to silences going forward.
WE WILL NOT BE RETROACTIVELY REVIEWING ANY PREVIOUS SILENCES.

As a reminder, the silencing policy applies to anything publicly visible in PIMD:

Campus Chat

The Pub

IGNs

Statuses

Walls

Pet Names

Club Names

Club Walls

The forums

The following are not considered public spaces and are therefore private channels:

Private Messages

Direct Messages

Group Chat

Club Chat

Tutor Chat

Gift Messages

Please also see our Terms of Use for more information.

The best guideline is: Be a good person, do good things, and you'll pretty much be okay.

Except the mods suck, they are condescending or manipulative and your policies are trash

IIIIBINGIlB0NGIIII · May 29, 2026

Oh and also!!! Quit "upgrading things within the game" until you can actually make the game work without generic excuses pinning the blame on the user instead or your inability to deliver a quality product

PrincessLunatic · Jun 30, 2026 at 3:17 PM

Where is the part saying you get silenced for writing into the wrong chat? I got silenced for asking to trade my chibis for a bento, in the wrong chat once(, and by accident btw) without even a warning. Please at least warn people before you do that. I mean it can easily happen with so many chats.

PrincessLunatic · Jun 30, 2026 at 3:29 PM

Also what is the point of silencing people for writing into that wrong chat? Now everyone has to concentrate to write in the correct chat, which is not so easy for some player. Makes me feel pretty unwelcome to join any public chat tbh. I mean I got literally silenced for my struggle to focus. I don't know what else to say...

Its a new change that hasnt been added into this thread. There was a 1-2 week grace period where mistakes were allowed to pass while people learn what the new chats are for. It is what it is. Gotta either suck it up and get used to it or dont use it. People have been asking for this chat setup for years

Learn better focus and it wont help you just with this but with everything in your life. I got adhd so can say that from experience. Sure its not easy to learn it. But its not impossible
