Terms of use
The short version. One person runs this, for free, in their spare time. Follow the rules, don’t abuse the relay, and accept that it may break or stop. Illegal or harmful speech gets you banned. You can report anyone. You can appeal a ban.
1. Who provides the service
The WynnVoiceChat relay (“the service”) is provided by DevScyu (Scyu_ on Discord), an individual in the United Kingdom. Not a company. DevScyu is the person responsible for it, safety duties under the UK Online Safety Act 2023 included.
Contact: privacy@wynnvoicechat.com for anything about your data or these terms, safety@wynnvoicechat.com to report someone, or our Discord.
The mod itself is a separate matter. It’s free software under the LGPL-3.0-only licence, and that licence, not this page, governs the code.
2. What the service is, and isn’t
The service relays live voice between Wynncraft players who have installed the mod and Simple Voice Chat. It’s independent and community-made. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of Wynncraft, Wynntils, or Simple Voice Chat, and none of them are responsible for it.
3. Who may use it
You must be 13 or older. The in-game notice you accept before voice turns on says so, and accepting it is you confirming your age. If we learn a user is under 13 we remove their access and delete their records (see the privacy notice). Wynncraft’s own rules apply to anything you say on voice.
4. What you agree not to do
The community rules are part of these terms. On top of them, you agree not to:
- connect anything other than the unmodified WynnVoiceChat mod, or automate connections to the relay;
- try to eavesdrop on, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the relay or to other players’ audio;
- file reports you know to be false, or use the report system to harass someone;
- evade a ban with another account;
- record or share other players’ voice from the service without their consent;
- use the service on behalf of a group that is proscribed (banned) under UK law.
5. Keeping voice safe
The relay carries live voice and nothing else. There’s no feed, no recording that other players can dig up later. So “taking content down” here means stopping the person: cutting their voice, blocking them for you, or banning them for everyone.
No automated scanning. There is no automated or proactive technology listening to or analysing voice. None. The only thing ever reviewed is the two minutes of speech attached to a report, and a person reviews it. If that changes, this section will say what technology is used, when, and how.
Illegal content. Speech that’s illegal in the UK isn’t allowed, and we act as soon as we’re made aware of it:
- Terrorism content, meaning speech that encourages, glorifies or instructs terrorism. Substantiated report: permanent ban at once, and what we have goes to the police.
- Child sexual abuse and exploitation, which includes any sexual talk with or about a child, and grooming. Substantiated report: permanent ban at once, reported to the relevant UK authorities and to the Wynncraft team.
- Other priority illegal content: threats, harassment, stalking, hate speech, encouraging suicide or self-harm, selling drugs or weapons, fraud, and the like. Substantiated report: 7 days, 30 days, or permanent, depending on how serious it was and whether it’s happened before. Serious harassment that spans other platforms also goes to the Wynncraft team.
Whatever the category, the moment a moderator confirms a report that person’s connection to the relay is cut, so the speech stops there and then. The ban keeps them off afterwards.
Intimate images. The relay can’t carry images. If you believe an intimate image of you is being shared through the service in any way at all, e-mail safety@wynnvoicechat.com with “intimate image report” in the subject line. We act within 48 hours.
Not allowed for anyone, at any age. So that no child can run into it here, the following is banned for every user: pornographic or sexual content, content encouraging suicide, content encouraging self-harm, content encouraging eating disorders. Breaking this rule is a ban.
Protecting younger players. Players from 13 up use this service, so the rules also ban, for everyone: abuse or hate aimed at someone’s race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability or gender reassignment; encouraging serious violence; bullying; dangerous challenges and stunts; encouraging use of drugs or other harmful substances. Reports about these go through the same process as any other. There are no age checks beyond the 13+ confirmation. Banning these things for everyone is how younger players are protected.
6. Reporting
In game: /wynnvoicechat report <player> [reason] while you’re both on voice. The last two minutes of speech from both of you go to the moderators with your report.
Anyone else, including someone who doesn’t use the service, or a player’s parent or carer, can report by e-mail to safety@wynnvoicechat.com. Give us the Minecraft username, roughly when it happened, and what was said. Attach anything that helps.
We look at every report. If you gave us a way to reach you, you’ll hear back.
7. Moderation and bans
Volunteer moderators review reports by listening to the clip. They aren’t Wynncraft staff and their decisions cover this service only. Wynncraft treats voice on this service like a private call and doesn’t act on ordinary voice reports, so send those to us, not to Wynncraft. (The section 5 cases we forward to them are the exception.) Depending on what they hear, a moderator may:
- dismiss the report;
- ban for 7 days: a first breach that isn’t in the illegal or for-everyone categories above;
- ban for 30 days: a repeat, or a serious breach;
- ban permanently: illegal content, anything on the for-everyone list, ban evasion, or a third breach.
A ban means the relay refuses your connection for that long. You’re told the reason in game. The same rules are applied to everyone.
We may also suspend or end anyone’s access where we reasonably believe it’s needed to protect other players or the service itself. We’ll say why.
8. Complaints and appeals
Warned, banned or otherwise restricted and you think it was wrong? Made a report you think was wrongly dismissed? Appeal:
- Open a private thread in #ban-appeals on our Discord. Only you and the moderators can see it. No Discord? E-mail privacy@wynnvoicechat.com.
- Say which account, when, and why you think the decision was wrong.
- A moderator who didn’t make the original decision listens to the clip again and answers, normally within a week.
- Upheld: the ban is lifted and the record corrected. Not upheld: you’re told why. Repeated appeals with nothing new in them may be closed without a further answer.
Complaints about how the service itself handles safety (say, that we didn’t act on a report) go to the same places.
Your legal right. If you’re suspended or banned from the service in breach of these terms, you have the right to bring a claim against us for breach of contract.
9. Your voice and reports
You keep all rights in what you say. What you give the service is permission: to relay your voice to the players you’ve chosen to be heard by, to hold the last two minutes of your speech in memory, and, if a report is made, to store that audio for 30 days and show it to the moderators through Discord, all as set out in the privacy notice. That’s the whole of the permission. It isn’t used for anything else.
10. Availability
The service is free, run by volunteers, and provided as it is. It may be slow. It may drop. It may change, or shut down, temporarily or for good, without notice. We don’t promise any level of uptime or audio quality, or support for any particular version of Minecraft, Wynncraft or Simple Voice Chat.
11. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn’t allow us to limit.
We aren’t responsible for what other players say on voice; section 5 is what we do about it. Beyond that we’re responsible only for loss that’s a foreseeable result of our failing to take reasonable care, and not for lost game progress, items, or time. Where we are liable, our total liability to you is limited to £50.
You’re responsible for what you say on voice. Wynncraft’s rules and the law apply to you directly.
12. Changes
We may change these terms. When we do, the version and date at the top change, and the mod asks you to accept the new terms before voice comes back on. You’re free to say no and stop using the service. Changes are announced on our Discord as well.
13. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You may bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales; if you live elsewhere in the UK, or in the EU, you may bring it in your local courts instead, and you keep any protection your local consumer law gives you that can’t be excluded by agreement.
