Rules
- try to label triggering content and hide it behind a spoiler. In general at least make sure you hide mentions of suicide, self harm, violence, and sexual content.
- Don't discuss specific plans to injure or kill yourself or others. Discussion of general ideation is acceptable. Got something AWFUL to say? Try c/VoidScreaming
- Avoid requesting or giving medical advice beyond personal experience. Describing how you personally managed a medication side effect, for instance, is fine.

What's the moderation situation on this game? I'm jaded so my first thought was trolls
Well, this game isn't out yet, so I can only tell you what's in the FAQ of the first game. They intend to battle trolls by the design choice that you cannot respond to a certain individual:
"Why can’t we carry on conversations with people / have penpals?
This is probably our most requested feature! It makes sense. You’ve had a great interaction with a real human; why stop there? Unfortunately, anonymity and the strict limits of discourse are key ingredients in the delicious cake that is Kind Words for which we have not found a substitute.
Trolling would be an increased problem. Trolls WANT people to write angry letters back. Kind Words denies them that and they mostly get bored and leave."
It could still occur though I suppose.
Hopefully it's not a problem at all!
