  • The app does not include functionality intended to bypass moderation systems of the accessed website.

5. Reporting and Cooperation

  • Users are encouraged to report harmful or illegal content directly to the Something Awful forum moderators or administrators via the report function.
  • Where applicable, users may also report illegal content to relevant law enforcement authorities.
