Safety and questions

Who can see my child's messages?
Only the people in that server. Servers are private and invite-only - there is no public view of anything, and no search. Private messages between two people are visible to those two people only. The person who runs the server cannot read them.
Then how does an adult supervise, if they can't read private messages?
They see what gets reported to them. When a member reports a message, the message itself and the few before it are attached to the report automatically. The owner reviews what was flagged - not everyone's mailbox. We think a 15-year-old deserves both a private conversation and a way to get help.
Who decides who gets in?
The adult who owns the server, and only them. Membership is by invitation.
Can a stranger contact my child?
Only people already in the same server can message each other privately. Nobody outside a server can reach anyone inside it.
What happens if someone is bothering my kid?
They block them - private messages stop in both directions immediately, and the blocked person is never told. Then they can report it to the adult who runs the server, with the messages attached. If the person they need to report IS the server owner, the report goes to Parklan Palooza directly instead, and the owner never sees it.
Does anyone actually find out when something is reported?
Yes. The adult who runs the server is notified, and so is anyone helping them run it. A report about the owner goes to Parklan Palooza instead, and the owner is not told. Everyone chooses for themselves what they want to be notified about.
Can messages be deleted to cover something up?
No. Removing a message hides it from the room; it is never destroyed. And when a message is reported, a copy is taken at that moment - so deleting it afterwards changes nothing about the report.
Who is responsible for this server?
One named adult, who accepted that responsibility in writing when they created it.
How old do you have to be?
Thirteen. Accounts for under-13s cannot be created - the rule is enforced when the account is made, not just asked on a form.
Is it free?
Yes. One account type, free, with no member limit. You can run up to three servers on one account.
