UPDATE Silencing Policy Updates 2026

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

This community has spent years building this game.

We’ve spent money. We’ve recruited players. We’ve built clubs, families and friendships. We’ve kept this game alive.

And this is how we’re repaid?

The age rating has changed, leaving many of us deeply concerned about whether enough safeguards exist for younger players in a game with private messaging, user-generated content and mature interactions. At the same time, long-time players have watched names being changed under the new Terms of Use while genuine community concerns continue to be brushed aside.

We’re tired of feeling ignored.

If our voices don’t matter, our wallets will.

COMMUNITY SPENDING BLACKOUT

From 25/08/26 until 01/09/26, we’re asking every player, every club and every family to stand together.

Keep playing the game.

Use the Bentos and Extra Credits you already have.


Do NOT buy Extra Credits.

Do NOT buy Doctor’s Notes.

Do NOT renew or purchase subscription packs.

This isn’t about hurting the game.

It’s about reminding ATA that this community deserves to be heard, and that player safety and community trust should come before profits.

Change your status to:

“We built this community. We won’t fund decisions that put children at risk.”

Then post that status in your Tutor Chat, Club Chat, Family Chat, and anywhere else players gather.

Encourage everyone you know to use the same status and join the spending blackout.

One player can be ignored.

Thousands can’t.

We built this community.

Now let’s remind ATA who keeps it alive.

Hiya! To clarify (because, yes, the forum was unclear), they were not able to silence for the first 2 weeks. This time was used to learn and practice. Now, after those 2 weeks, they are able to silence in game but are still on probation with strong guidance from full and senior mods. Junior mods also do not receive crates to host community events. They will remain as junior mods until probation is complete, in 2-3 months (ish), at which time they will be evaluated by the dev team and promoted to full mod or released from the team.

This is the first time that mod team additions have been done in this way and also the first time there have been senior and junior distinctions so things may have been adjusted from what was previously stated on the post.

Hope that was able to answer any questions

Thank you for the clarification, Lyssa!

30 days silencing policy is diabolical
Even 7 days is basically insanity when it comes to 18+ age restricted gameplay..
I am sure,, unlike me,, the respected AUTHORITIES are matured enough to check on the silencing policy again and revert the existing ones

I had suggested earlier, I'll suggest again, for posting in wrong channel, silence should be only one day, and should not add up to silencing tiers. Create a seperate tier for wrong channel posting silenced. Ppl make innocent mistakes, they cannot and should not be equated with rings done with intent

It has been suggested many times, thats why wrong channel silences over 24 hours can be appealed for a reduced timer until there is a technical adjustment to silence tiers

well i posted a banner in wrong channel i'm silenced for 7 days why is that

Silences are based on how many you’ve had in a certain amount of time and we unfortunately cannot choose the duration of a silence. Since it’s a week though you should be able to get it reduced by completing a help ticket

Prettiest prettea SHWETA
Pls consider and recorrect me if I state anything wrong

I believe in the respected AUTHORITIES that they will check on the matter and let slide of any mistakes in the upcoming days

And SILENCING POLICIES will be based on REPORT from other fellow pimd users rather than any authorities acting upon it
This too shall pass,, i guess..
The prettiest lass

 

[Alvis]

Together we CAN
Help Restrain each other from gettin silenced and BAN

Exception be me.. I admit,, Hella toxic I am

Together included both the USERS and AUTHORITIES

I believe in UNITY rather than division
Hopefully we all be working together for a common cause/good as one UNIT.. Consider my words pls

I have a question so will I be banned because I think this is my fourth silence

No, silences go in tiers: 1 day, 7 days, 30 days. If you're at 30 days and get silenced again, you will just have another 30 days. Bans are only for serious infractions.

Hey uh, can you guys take a second to vibe code descriptions to your in game channels instead of silencing people for asking questions in the "wrong" channel? OR add an in game guide section to the settings that has a FAQ section that explains the channels and what they are used for? I dunno, just a wild idea.

You can send in a help ticket and ATA support may reduce your silence duration. Let me know if you’d like a wall post with the channel guidelines for future reference.

would be nice if they actually bothered to lift people’s silences. 30 day silence for wrong channel and they have not even bothered to look.

They are working on adding channel descriptions in a future update. I was informed this by a moderator.

** Silencing Policy Update **

We've been listening to your feedback and understand that it's easy to accidentally post in the wrong channel. With that in mind, we've updated the silencing policy for this specific infraction, with more emphasis on warnings so players receive fewer silences overall.

1. https://forum.partyinmydorm.com/threads/silencing-policy-updates-2026.144132/#post-5179005
**Posting in the Wrong Channel**
~~Make sure that you are posting the right content in the right channels to avoid being silenced.~~
Make sure that you are posting the right content in the right channels to avoid warnings and being silenced.

2. https://forum.partyinmydorm.com/threads/chat-channel-updates.147208/
**Will I get immediately silenced if I accidentally post in the wrong channel?**
We know it takes time to build new habits! For the first 14 days following the update, we are implementing a probation period for channel placements. If you post in the wrong channel, our moderators will simply give you a friendly verbal redirection to move your post to the right spot. ~~After this two-week grace period, repeatedly ignoring reminders and posting in the wrong channel will result in an official warning or a short silence for chat disruption.~~

**Update:**If you continue posting in the wrong channel, you'll receive an official warning. If you receive enough warnings, your account will be temporarily silenced for chat disruption.

***__ This update only applies to wrong-channel violations. All other infraction types continue under existing policy.__***”

Can confirm this is true. It should be available soon as this is something we’ve suggested since day 1 of the changes.

I think it’s harder to see it on the original post for this thread specifically the summarize made similar/ breakdown from pimd discord server. (While the dorm tower thread has not only update in the OG post with section with timestamp, a dev repost the section to trigger notification to those who follow the thread ).

I do acknowledge seeing the date and timestamp on the original post of the thread in forum. ‍ (that’s in my opinion).
