[[File:Groups Render.webp|thumb|&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!--T:1--&amp;gt; Official render of the &amp;quot;Groups&amp;quot; logo.&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;!--T:2--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Groups&#039;&#039;&#039; are a social feature aimed towards forming, maintaining, and organizing communities and instances within VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:52--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The purpose of creating a group allows other users to join them, typically to assimilate an audience such as a fanbase or [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:Culture|culture]], and optionally, to host and participate in events within group [[Special:MyLanguage/Instances|instances]]. Members of a group may choose to represent it, showcasing the group&#039;s banner on their nameplate and profile. The Groups feature was officially released on [https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/vrchat-groups November 30th, 2022].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Joining a group== &amp;lt;!--T:3--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:4--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To join a group, you must first navigate to a group&#039;s page. Users can be in up to 100 different groups at a time, or up to 200 with an active [[Special:MyLanguage/VRC+|VRC+]] subscription. To join a group, you can either find one through the Search tab or Group tab in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:53--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It is also possible to join a group by browsing another user&#039;s list of groups they are representing on their profile, or by clicking on specific promotional posters located in worlds. Once you are in a group, you are able to join any active group instances via the &#039;&#039;&#039;Instances tab&#039;&#039;&#039; on the group&#039;s page, or the &#039;&#039;&#039;Group Activity&#039;&#039;&#039; row in the Social tab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Representing=== &amp;lt;!--T:5--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:6--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Representing a group displays the group&#039;s name and banner on the user&#039;s nameplate and profile. A user may represent a group by going to the group&#039;s page on the main menu and clicking the button labeled: &amp;quot;Represent Group&amp;quot;, on the top right corner. A single group may be represented at a time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Membership visibility=== &amp;lt;!--T:7--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:8--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A member of a group may choose to obscure affiliation from displaying on their profile in the list of joined groups. However, a user will &#039;&#039;&#039;still&#039;&#039;&#039; be able to see if you&#039;re in the group under the following conditions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:9--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*They mutually share the group with you.&lt;br /&gt;
*The user has the &amp;quot;View All Members&amp;quot; permission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:45--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:VRChat 1FSHUeX5jS.png|thumb|150x150px|Group visibility options]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:11--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You can hide visibility by going to the &#039;&#039;&#039;Group tab&#039;&#039;&#039; within the VRChat client, selecting the group, and clicking the cog icon at the top right on the menu. This will open a &#039;&#039;&#039;Group Settings&#039;&#039;&#039; submenu, to which you can change visibility at will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:48--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It is also possible to change visibility from the VRChat website by going to the Group tab in the sidebar, selecting the group, clicking &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Settings&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;, and then choosing the &#039;&#039;&#039;Visibility&#039;&#039;&#039; setting right for you beneath &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;My Membership&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Visible&lt;br /&gt;
|The group is shown on your profile for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Friends Only&lt;br /&gt;
|The group is only shown on your profile to your friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:54--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Hidden&lt;br /&gt;
|The group is hidden from your profile.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creating a group== &amp;lt;!--T:12--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:13--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To create a group, a user must first have an active [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat+|VRC+]] subscription. Maintaining the VRC+ subscription is not necessary for retaining group ownership. An active VRC+ subscription is required to change icons, banners and edit the group&#039;s gallery using the VRC+ [[Special:MyLanguage/Gallery|Gallery]], as well as transferring ownership of the group to another user. Currently, creating a group must be done via the {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/groups|VRChat website}}. A user can own a maximum of 5 groups, of which a maximum of 100,000 members can join each group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Joinability and visibility=== &amp;lt;!--T:14--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:15--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When creating a group, an onboarding process presents the creator with a few privacy options. The &#039;&#039;&#039;joinability&#039;&#039;&#039; of a group determines any given user&#039;s ability to join the group. This setting can be changed later.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Free Join&lt;br /&gt;
|Anyone can join the group freely.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Request to Join&lt;br /&gt;
|New members must request to join the group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:55--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Invite-Only&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:56--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Those with the right permissions may invite new members to the group.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;visibility&#039;&#039;&#039; of a group determines whether or not the group can be represented or displayed on a member&#039;s profile. This setting &#039;&#039;&#039;cannot&#039;&#039;&#039; be changed later.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Public&lt;br /&gt;
|Members can choose to advertise the group on their profile.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Private&lt;br /&gt;
|The group cannot be advertised or displayed by members.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
As mentioned, any user can manually obscure of any public group from displaying on their profile via Visibility settings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:49--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Group banner===&lt;br /&gt;
Group banners are displayed on the nameplates of users who choose to represent that Group, and will also appear on the Group page on the VRChat Home website and in the Group UI within VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The banner can be uploaded and selected on the VRChat Home website. However, the uploaded image is cropped in different ways depending on where it is shown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Community member Reava has created [https://github.com/Reava/Resources/releases/tag/Guide a guide] that can help people creating a banner to ensure that the most important parts show in the UI when needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Group roles and permissions== &amp;lt;!--T:16--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Viewing your roles=== &amp;lt;!--T:17--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:18--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While it is not currently possible to select or change roles within the VRChat client, you can view all current roles applied to your account by opening the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]], and clicking on the Group tab, click on a group that you wish to view your roles for. There is a &#039;cog&#039; icon towards the top right of the menu, which expands a rightwards &#039;&#039;&#039;Group Settings&#039;&#039;&#039; submenu. The very top of the submenu will let you browse the roles currently applied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Default roles=== &amp;lt;!--T:19--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:46--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Groups default roles.png|thumb|253x253px|Role overview]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:21--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Groups have three different tiers for roles: &#039;&#039;&#039;Management Roles&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Member Roles&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Default Role&#039;&#039;&#039;. Automatically, groups will have three roles when the group is created: &#039;&#039;&#039;Everyone&#039;&#039;&#039;, which is listed under &#039;Default Role&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Member&#039;&#039;&#039;, which is listed under &#039;Member Role&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Group Owner&#039;&#039;&#039;, which is listed under &#039;Management Role&#039;. The role names for &#039;Group Owner&#039; and &#039;Member&#039; can be changed, but &#039;Everyone&#039; cannot be changed or deleted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:22--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Group Owner permissions cannot be changed or deleted in any way, since by default, they should always have all permissions. The Group owner, however, can be transferred to another willing group member as long as both parties are subscribed to VRC+. This should be deliberated heavily before transfer, since all transfers are final. Read more about Group Transferring below. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Creating roles=== &amp;lt;!--T:23--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:24--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Roles can be added, renamed, or deleted at any time by a group&#039;s management. Each role can be given a description, and a custom set of permissions. Permissions are either toggled on, or off for a group. Roles can optionally be set to be &#039;&#039;&#039;Assigned On Join&#039;&#039;&#039;, be &#039;&#039;&#039;Self Assignable&#039;&#039;&#039;, or &#039;&#039;&#039;Require 2FA&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:57--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Self Assignable roles are optional, and users can sign into the VRChat website to apply roles to themselves, if available. However, users on platform accounts, such as Steam or Meta accounts, are unable to log in and do so, since logging into their account on the VRChat website requires the [[Special:MyLanguage/Getting Started#Account Creation|creation of a VRChat account]]. Group management can manually apply roles to any user at will.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|+&lt;br /&gt;
!Function&lt;br /&gt;
!Description&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Assign On Join&lt;br /&gt;
|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;If enabled, new members will be assigned this role when they join the group. This will not affect existing members.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Self Assignable&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:58--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Allows members of the group to assign this role to themselves.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Require 2FA&lt;br /&gt;
|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Requires members to have 2FA before permissions apply.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:47--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Groups permissions overview.png|thumb|Some of the available permissions that may be assigned, as seen in the Group Management Options]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Assigning permissions=== &amp;lt;!--T:26--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:27--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To assign permissions for a role, a group manager must sign in on the VRChat website, and navigate to the Permissions tab. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:31--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Step 4: Click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Roles&#039;&#039;&#039;, below that tab. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:32--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Step 5: Click on the role that you wish to edit permissions for, and click &#039;&#039;&#039;Permissions&#039;&#039;&#039; with the lock icon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:33--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Step 6: Apply the permissions found below, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and &#039;&#039;&#039;click Save&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Allows role to join group instances.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Group instances== &amp;lt;!--T:34--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:35--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The owner of a group, and those with the correct permissions may create group [[Special:MyLanguage/Instances|instances]]. There are three types of group instances.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Group&lt;br /&gt;
|Only members of a group (or certain roles within the group if specified) can join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Group+&lt;br /&gt;
|Any friend of a user in the instance can join. Group membership is not required to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!Group Public&lt;br /&gt;
| A publicly listed instance hosted by a group to which anyone can join. Group membership is not required to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Group instances are often &#039;&#039;&#039;moderated by the group hosting the instance&#039;&#039;&#039;. The group&#039;s owner and those given moderation permissions through their role may warn, mute, kick or ban a user within the instance. Banning a user from a group permanently prevents them from joining any Instances made by the group, as well as joining the group itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group instance queues=== &amp;lt;!--T:36--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:37--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Group Instances are also great for managing events with a high amount of people. For that situation, the &#039;&#039;&#039;VRChat Group Queues&#039;&#039;&#039; option will setup a waiting queue to process joining requests when the instance max capacity is reached. When you join the queue for an instance, you will be placed in and will receive a invite request when a slot becomes available. Once the request is received on your side, you have one minute to join the instance before your slot is given to the next person.&lt;br /&gt;

As of March 27, 2024&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-update-28-march-2024/23676&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, owners of groups could choose to transfer the ownership of a group to another willing group member as long as both parties are subscribed to VRC+, and have available space. This should be taken under consideration, as all transfers are final.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;You can transfer your group ownership to another member of the group; the target member and the group must meet the requirements below.&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
*The target member has verified their email address (check the Email section via account settings)&lt;br /&gt;
*The target member has an active VRC+ subscription&lt;br /&gt;
*The target member can still own more groups (each user can own up to 5 groups)&lt;br /&gt;
*The group is not monetized&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== The current COI policy is not very interpretable ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have a concern with the current state of the conflicts of interest policy. The documentation on this policy is both lenient and vague, and I feel like this policy needs to be &#039;&#039;VRChat-ified&#039;&#039; and also give examples and what may or may not qualify as a conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For instance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships&amp;quot; should remain in the article, but we could also make room to make it more relatable, and pertinent to VRChat. Maybe instead change this to: &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;VRChat friends, real friends, development teams that you hold a relationship with; clients, employers, among financial and other relationships&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Some VRChat users may be the only source of information for worlds, avatars, and tools. It is acceptable for those users to contribute this information.&amp;quot; opens up a gate for content creators to unconditionally work on their own article. I feel like there should be some, but limited exception to this rule, and would rather have to status quo be something similar to: &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;If there is uncertainty of information, the presence of misinformation, or misrepresentation contained within in article, the primary source may need to be queried for guidance by an editor.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; rather than personally allowing a COI to occur.&lt;br /&gt;
# Creation of an article, made directly by the world or avatar&#039;s author (or team) should &#039;&#039;&#039;never be allowed&#039;&#039;&#039;, and this would break the &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Avoid advertising and use neutral language to maintain a neutral point of view (NPOV).&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; statement within the policy. Creation of an article is giving the content a platform to promote itself, and writing NPOV as the primary source will almost always be impossible; this will be biased.&lt;br /&gt;
# We should also be linking &#039;good faith&#039;, &#039;be bold&#039; and &#039;neutral point of view&#039; policies; I recently added a COI Noticebox, and &amp;quot;See also&amp;quot; heading to this article recently. Let&#039;s proofread that too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks! [[User:Usr 8ee44c1a-f905-4e08-bb61-e1cd34e09fc0|Usr 8ee44c1a-f905-4e08-bb61-e1cd34e09fc0]] ([[User talk:Usr 8ee44c1a-f905-4e08-bb61-e1cd34e09fc0|talk]]) 00:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think what&#039;s most problematic here is that its a direct copy of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|Wikipedia&#039;s COI]] page. This should&#039;ve been changed much earlier to apply to VRCWiki better. Other policies also need significant updates as well for similar reasons I&#039;m noticing. [[User:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd]] ([[User talk:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|talk]]) 00:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The primary source not being able to straight up make a page in the Community: namespace and not being able to edit on it goes against one of the core principles of VRChat. VRChat is driven by user generated content and often the only ones able to talk about this sort of content are the ones who made it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This applies to any community content, however for worlds and avatars specifically you may only be able to have surface level pages made for the top 0.1% most visited worlds + some stragglers edited from others unaffiliated. We would simply lose out on a lot of valuble contributions, if we put a roadblock for people to share their knowledge here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also dislike that having to go through a talk page would mean to be at the mercy of someone else. This would just mean that a few select who would bother to write up the page based on talk page input, have control of what gets added by selecting such requests or ignoring it. I would much rather someone passionate enough to engage with the wiki directly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further, a stringent COI policy wont stop anyone somewhat dedicated enough from making the article anyway. Ask a friend to make a barebones page for you to edit, ask a friend to copy paste your edit in, use an alt to make the page. The options are readily available. You would never know it happened. Maybe having people go this route would be better after all, at least then the illusion of the ideal editor remains alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of going so hard on COI, focus on ensuring community content submitted follows all proper content guidelines: NPOV, Manual of Style, Notability. That way, you cannot just sidestep some COI gate. Regulating COI, like with the recently added &amp;quot;Biased&amp;quot; noticebox is a good way to signal, that there is no need to cheat the system. It also encourages people to share more. This also means, that the wiki can be more transparent, highlighting that the primary source is the only source and more input is needed. Finally this kind of regulation would make anyone sidestepping COI just to avoid a noticebox look silly to the public. A true transparent approach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following this I don&#039;t think it is feasible to use this wiki as advertising, with the aforementioned content guidelines in play. Although 1 page out of hundreds still has some impact on how much it is seen I guess. Talking about advertising, having a stringent COI would just mean the top 0.1% most visited worlds benefit here, since those would be the ones most likely to have pages in some form anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VRC Staff has also signaled 2 months ago in our maintainer check-in meeting, that they have no problem with a primary source contributing on the Community side of the wiki, to help expand the wiki. I can see why, given their overall plans for this wiki project mid-term. And of course, since no one owns the page, anyone may edit on it as per usual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have also previously shared extensive thoughts on the COI draft [[User_talk:Usr_681ab43c-99d7-4e40-92ba-956d9d8d66e7/sandbox|here]] a while back. [[User:Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a|Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a]] ([[User talk:Usr 6909a532-22e9-49f7-81e3-e964fe7dc00a|talk]]) 01:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;The primary source not being able to straight up make a page in the Community: namespace and not being able to edit on it goes against one of the core principles of VRChat. VRChat is driven by user generated content and often the only ones able to talk about this sort of content are the ones who made it.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:This is a &#039;&#039;wiki documenting VRChat&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;VRChat itself&#039;&#039;. This is an important distinction to make.&lt;br /&gt;
:We create articles regarding VRChat&#039;s aspects as a platform from an informative and (as much as we can) unbiased perspective. World creators making pages for their own world is directly in violation of bias and puts scrutiny on what can and cannot be trusted on the wiki. Should Wikipedia also allow creators to go willy-nilly creating pages for their own work because in the real world, someone who creates something might be the only one able to make an article about it?&lt;br /&gt;
:Worlds as a whole were never supposed to be part of the wiki in the first place. Still, it was decided to be included to recognize culturally relevant worlds, the scope of what is considered &amp;quot;culturally relevant&amp;quot; is difficult to pinpoint directly without it being on a case-by-case basis. However, &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;not every world is notable, and not every world needs a page.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; We should know this already given other community-based VRChat wiki attempts, it often bloats up the categories list with pages that end up being 1-2 paragraphs long, only explaining what&#039;s in the world, and that&#039;s it.&lt;br /&gt;
:To put it simply, allowing creators to create pages for their own worlds would likely result in many non-notable, redundant, or low-quality pages, leading to unnecessary bloating. This would dilute the wiki&#039;s overall quality and would make it more difficult to find relevant information for readers. We should be striving to prioritize content that is culturally or significantly relevant instead of catering to every single creator. &#039;&#039;Quality over quantity.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:::&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;It also encourages people to share more.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:Again, while sharing your creations is an important aspect of VRChat, the wiki is &#039;&#039;about&#039;&#039; VRChat, not VRChat itself. People who are not familiar with VRChat will be reading these pages on notable worlds to learn more about them. &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;We are not a repository for sharing and indexing worlds.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:::&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Further, a stringent COI policy wont stop anyone somewhat dedicated enough from making the article anyway.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:Suggesting that people will simply bypass and find loopholes in policies does &#039;&#039;NOT&#039;&#039; justify making them less stringent. Policy is not about rules or magically stopping every case scenario, but defining &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;ethical editing boundaries.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:::&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Following this I don&#039;t think it is feasible to use this wiki as advertising, with the aforementioned content guidelines in play. Although 1 page out of hundreds still has some impact on how much it is seen I guess.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:Even if only one page in hundreds of pages could be considered advertising, it sets a precedent. &#039;&#039;&#039;Wikis should not act as promotional tools for individual creators,&#039;&#039;&#039; they are meant to be an &#039;&#039;informative resource.&#039;&#039; If any creator is allowed to create a page for their worlds, it becomes difficult to draw a line between valuable and informative contributions and self-promotion.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;To restate:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; We are a wiki providing &#039;&#039;informative&#039;&#039; resources &#039;&#039;about&#039;&#039; VRChat. Not an index for worlds, not a tool for creators to get their content out there, but to provide informative information regarding VRChat and relevant creations inside VRChat. [[User:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd]] ([[User talk:Usr c272d4fe-f1f8-4d77-8008-cad6cb81d6cd|talk]]) 20:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Notability guidelines are already in place for both Avatars and Worlds, which do apply of course. I just dont see how we are supposed to document community content on vrchat, by leaving out one of the best and most passionate source for it. Not to mention who else would write about it. Of course you can say that &amp;quot;well it just is not worth writing about&amp;quot;, but going by that logic I wonder, how it is that we barely get any world pages made as is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Excluding the 1/3 or so of all world pages I authored, that I could meaningfully contribute to and finished up as best as I could, we got:&lt;br /&gt;
::* 4 fully featured and finished pages where the creator or those adjacent took part in&lt;br /&gt;
::* 8 (actual) stubs. Made by other editors, mostly maintainers. actual stubs as in ones that are not just nearly finished.&lt;br /&gt;
::* 6 game world pages, which mostly focus on the gameplay elements, these are the most comprehensive ones so far.&lt;br /&gt;
::* The remaining 4 or 5 worlds are very popular worlds in the top 0.1%&lt;br /&gt;
::So despite this wiki being open and announced for a while now it seems there are not that many people to have something to say about Worlds. Yet given how nearly all of the top 0.1% of worlds have not even gotten a page, one should assume we would find someone other than those involved with it to write about them. Or maybe, I guess we just dont need World and Avatar pages after all.&lt;br /&gt;
::I am not to say that we have to accommodate creators coming in sharing information about their worlds, but it would most certainly benefit the wiki, if they can abide by the content guidelines. All I want is to provide a way for everyone to contribute, so the community namespace can properly consolidate information that is currently scattered all over the place.&lt;br /&gt;
::I would also like to add, that I do think the Community: Namespace is a repository for information of sorts, by the community. This includes worlds, that is if they have more value added than what is in their world description in VRC that is.&lt;br /&gt;
::The reason i brought up the classic &amp;quot;ask a friend to paste in my edit&amp;quot; thing is just to outline that this is a real scenario that can and likely already played out on here. It is a reality that simply cannot be moderated or policed away and that we are better off regulating it in a way, where it is visible to the public if only 1 person took part in the page. I guess you could even filter out such pages from the category pages while it has such a noticebox, should that being there count as &amp;quot;advertising&amp;quot;. We would also be rewarding people who like to go against the guidelines, if we start blocking good faith edits of the primary source.

:::::Just want to echo some sentiments expressed here.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::- We shouldn&#039;t be punishing and/or restricting some of the most knowledgeable and passionate sources of information&lt;br /&gt;
:::::- No matter what you do, there MAY be some small amount of people who will advertise/self-promote. You can try and write overly complex policies that as a practical matter - nobody&#039;s ever going to read (I want to contribute knowledge not read pages and pages of guidelines - keep it simple !!)

:::::These policies aren&#039;t really pro-active, in an everyday sense they are usually reactive. It&#039;s something to point to when a page is removed or moderated or whatever. So rather than say &amp;quot;oh this person kinda knows that guy who worked on the world and it crossed this complicated threshold for COI (even though the page itself is fine)&amp;quot; just say &amp;quot;we don&#039;t want self promotion&amp;quot;.

::::::Please consider the wiki&#039;s goals, it&#039;s not a place for creators, it&#039;s a place for readers to learn information about specific topics, which is what is meant by &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Not every world needs a page.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Does the three-hundredth and twelve cozy world with a pool table, markers, and mirror wall &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; need a page?  &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Would this benefit readers?&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Sure, I could &#039;&#039;theoretically&#039;&#039; make a page for my own world [https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_8b09cb1e-8628-4be1-81cc-0a3c6a747be0 Somewhere Here], I could talk about how my plans for it were to be a Spookality 2021 entry I never finished, the reasons why, the inspiration behind each room, the small little details behind everything. And all of that would absolutely be excellent information for an article.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;But... excuse my tone, why the &#039;&#039;hell&#039;&#039; would I do that? Why would I as a creator restrict myself to the wiki&#039;s style guide when... I could just as easily make a post about it on my Bsky, or Tumblr, or anywhere else where I have significantly more freedom? Then if I really wanted that to be on the wiki, I could easily just ask, &amp;quot;hey would someone like to make a page about this?&amp;quot; or in the case if already had one, just ask for the information to be added, using the post I made as a citation so people know it came from me.&lt;br /&gt;
::::::This feels like such a nothing-burger to argue for. &#039;&#039;in my opinion&#039;&#039;, there is no real reason for a world creator to create a page for their own creation. Unless they&#039;re seeking to advertise it through the wiki. Or use it as trophy points to say: &amp;quot;Hey look my creation is on the &#039;&#039;official&#039;&#039; wiki!&amp;quot; Because every point I&#039;ve seen in this thread so far against COI, hasn&#039;t been very convincing, or by those who have violated COI previously and would benefit from it&#039;s removal/reduction, which would ironically be a direct COI in itself if you want to be meta about this.

:::::::I will stick to the quoting style to avoid confusion.&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::&amp;quot;however we don&#039;t want people to simply create pages willy-nilly for all their creations&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::&amp;quot;Not every world needs a page&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::&amp;quot;Would this benefit readers?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::I dont know if everyone thinks that, but I do agree with you here, not every world necessarily needs a page. There should be value added when making one. To make a page of mirror world #100 that has just used existing assets seems pointless. However as soon as something unique was added, that could be described and be informative for the reader.&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::&amp;quot;Sure, I could theoretically make a page for my own world&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::&amp;quot;But... excuse my tone, why the hell would I do that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::So that when someone visits your world and would like to read up more about it, they can do so and learn a bit more about its design decisions, technicals and such. How often have you been to a world, where you were wondering how something specific was done. Think &amp;quot;what shader did they use?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;what did they use to do this udon thing?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;how was it optimized even though it uses real time light&amp;quot;. I did and I sometimes even ask the creator for such specifics, but it would be much better to have on the wiki (and/or somewhere in the world in the first place...)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::And to continue:&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::&amp;quot; I could just as easily make a post about it on my Bsky, or Tumblr, or anywhere else&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::That is kind of how it is right now, all these small parts of information are scattered all over the web on different places. There is no place where you find proper consolidation of information regarding VRChat, its always a jungle of githubs, discords, twitters, videos, other websites and so on to go through to.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::The Community: Namespace is also supposed to help consolidate all this information, which is why it is a bit more loose to begin with. And while I hope guides and such get ported over to the wiki, even having lists like [https://github.com/madjin/awesome-vrchat Jin&#039;s] would help in this endeavor. The Worlds and Avatars are just the cherry on top.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::Regarding your point on someone having a COI in the COI discussion, then you could also argue that anyone who is for a strict COI and has a very popular world, has a COI too. Since they can utilize their community, just as you described, to make the page instead. While others cannot, which assuming the wiki is meant for advertising means they would have less worlds clogging up their &amp;quot;adspace&amp;quot;. I know this paragraph is very much hyperbole, but just to counter that all is relative.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::Where you see &amp;quot;no real reason for a world creator to create a page for their own creation&amp;quot; I see plenty. Of course all this is given, that the world/avatar creator actually wants to go through the process of making a proper page to begin with. We should just ensure, that they can in some form.

== Why was the COI Policy changed without a prior draft? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I understand we had plenty of discussion regarding the COI policy, however just now the policy was changed without a draft for it being discussed beforehand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given this is such a big policy change I question who agreed to this change. Because I do not agree, as you can read why on the other thread titled &amp;quot;The current COI policy is not very interpretable&amp;quot; here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A voice meeting, that not every maintainer can participate in does not constitute to a consensus and this COI policy remains flawed for the Community Namespace.

&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;please give me a day or 2, this is alot of reading.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt; [[User:Usr 1a5319fb-f3a7-4ee9-8ed3-83c96116b509|Usr 1a5319fb-f3a7-4ee9-8ed3-83c96116b509]] ([[User talk:Usr 1a5319fb-f3a7-4ee9-8ed3-83c96116b509|talk]]) 21:04, 18 August 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ve had around a month to think and propous newer ideas or thoughts explicitly towards CoI, As it turns out the simplest answer is offen the easiest to explain.&lt;br /&gt;
:In my view for the longevity of the wiki, I belive its best to &#039;&#039;&#039;Completly remove CoI&#039;&#039;&#039; aslong as all users &#039;&#039;&#039;respect the guidelines&#039;&#039;&#039; and keeps the neutral point of view towards the page.&lt;br /&gt;
:The point of conflict of intrest is to de-attach creators from their projects, When a page is created they should be &#039;&#039;&#039;naturally following an informative manor to write the page in neutrality&#039;&#039;&#039;, Which makes the conflict of intrest policy &#039;&#039;&#039;nulled&#039;&#039;&#039; as they are not writting for themselfs, &#039;&#039;&#039;They write for everyone else reading.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:I belive the wiki maintainers have enough authority and observation to watch pages that are created or modified to notice this, CoI is slowly self-destructing the wiki preventing from genuine creative content being place into the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
:Take the example of this change &amp;quot;18-09-2025 - 00:25  DAG-XR deleted page Community:Project Aincrad&amp;quot; It was removed for CoI violation yet the page was there for &#039;&#039;&#039;over 3 months&#039;&#039;&#039; giving the public a way to see a cool world within vrchat, &#039;&#039;&#039;The page itself was high quaility&#039;&#039;&#039;, Its &#039;&#039;&#039;Very likly&#039;&#039;&#039; the maintainer(s) &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;stalked&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; the user to determine who created the page to futher push an unfair deletion thanks to this unfair CoI policy.&lt;br /&gt;
:My personal view on this CoI Problem which has clearly persisted over sevreal talk pages and months:&lt;br /&gt;
:Its been talked over &#039;&#039;&#039;sevreal times&#039;&#039;&#039; how the CoI is destroying the wiki, yet the maintainers persist that it stays, Why are the maintainers the only voice who wishes this to stay and it does? It seems like a personal tactic to keep the wiki under their authority making themselfs to have and Keep all edits under their own name and have nobody elses involvment yet this is supposit to be a &#039;&#039;&#039;project involving the public of VRChat players&#039;&#039;&#039;, Yet its constantly shut down by maintainers telling everyone they are wrong because they are higher then others in the matter, persistence in their actions being morally correct because They want this space, not the public [[User:Usr 1a5319fb-f3a7-4ee9-8ed3-83c96116b509|Usr 1a5319fb-f3a7-4ee9-8ed3-83c96116b509]] ([[User talk:Usr 1a5319fb-f3a7-4ee9-8ed3-83c96116b509|talk]]) 20:33, 18 September 2025 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I&#039;d also Love to note, The page that was deleted was served a delete notice, According to the policy tupper suggested to implement was given ONE WEEK before deletion would occur, The page was deleted TWO DAYS after the notice, which is not only unfair, it doesn&#039;t even give the original creator or Anyone else the chance to edit the page.&lt;br /&gt;

:::Chloe, I appreciate the time and energy you’ve put into sharing your perspective on the COI policy. It’s clear you care about the wiki and its future.&lt;br /&gt;
:::That said, I need to be very direct here: the Conflict of Interest policy is staying. The Wiki Organizers and Maintainers have been given both the mission and the authority by VRChat to guide the wiki, set policy, and enforce it. While policies can evolve, removing or radically changing COI would require broad agreement across all three Organizers, more than a dozen Maintainers, and the VRChat team itself. That level of consensus is extraordinarily difficult to achieve, and it’s not something we see happening.&lt;br /&gt;
:::What concerns me most is not disagreement over policy, but the repeated accusations and hostility toward maintainers. These are volunteers putting in their time to keep the project healthy. Accusing them of bad faith or harassment crosses the line. This is not productive, and it undermines the respectful environment we expect in all wiki discussions.&lt;br /&gt;
:::With kindness but firmness, consider this your last reminder:&lt;br /&gt;
:::* The COI policy will remain in place, with possible refinements happening only through constructive discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
:::* Authority over how the wiki is run lies with the Organizers and Maintainers, with oversight from VRChat staff.&lt;br /&gt;
:::* Continued personal attacks or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.&lt;br /&gt;
:::You’re welcome to keep contributing to policy discussions if you keep it respectful and constructive. But if the tone and accusations continue, further action &#039;&#039;will&#039;&#039; be taken.&lt;br /&gt;
:::The wiki is here to serve the VRChat community, and that requires structure, civility, and respect for the people who maintain it. Please take this seriously.

&#039;&#039;&#039;CyanTrigger&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[Udon]] compiler, with a focus on in-scene editing. The interface for CyanTrigger resembles legacy [[SDK2]] VRC Trigger interfaces, but has more functionality. CyanTrigger has access to most of Udon, and remained fully compatible with [[UdonGraph]] and [[UdonSharp]], but does not support newer features such as [https://creators.vrchat.com/worlds/udon/networking/events/#sending-events-with-parameters Events with Parameters] introduced in SDK 3.8.1&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://creators.vrchat.com/releases/release-3-8-1/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Maintenance Mode ==&lt;br /&gt;
On October 11, 2024, CyanTrigger&#039;s author stated that while they will continue to maintain CyanTrigger to ensure compatibility with Udon 1, they do not plan to update it for future functionality, such as feature, major upgrades, or breaking updates to Udon (like &amp;quot;[[Soba]]&amp;quot;).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://x.com/CyanLaser/status/1844769943344312745&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As such, creators using or considering using CyanTrigger should exercise caution, and ensure that they have a way to migrate out of CyanTrigger if required. Ideally, creators should not rely upon it for production or long-running projects.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CyanTrigger&#039;&#039;&#039; is an [[Udon]] compiler with focus on in-scene editing. The interface resembles the old [[SDK2]] VRC Trigger interface, but has more functionality. CyanTrigger has full access to all of Udon and can work with [[UdonGraph]] and [[UdonSharp]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://github.com/CyanLaser/CyanTrigger&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== No Longer Supported ==&lt;br /&gt;
Starting with VRChat SDK 3.8.1, CyanTrigger is no longer supported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://creators.vrchat.com/releases/release-3-8-1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; If you are using VRCSDK 3.8.1 or later, you will not be able to use CyanTrigger. Existing projects and content will continue to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is because CyanTrigger is no longer actively maintained, and VRCSDK 3.8.1 introduces new features that require changes to CyanTrigger in order to work properly.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Noticebox/Official}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ContentGatingKeyArtBlog.png|thumb|337x337px|Content Gating key art]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Content Gating&#039;&#039;&#039; is a system that lets users filter the type of content they see in [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Age-based forced content gating has been temporarily disabled as of December 7th, 2023.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-update-7-december-2023/21274#content-gating-changes-5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Content Warnings==&lt;br /&gt;
Content Warnings can be applied to either [[Special:MyLanguage/avatars|avatars]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/worlds|worlds]]. These are all the content warnings with usage examples:&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Content Warning Label&lt;br /&gt;
!Age-based forced gating&lt;br /&gt;
!Explanation&lt;br /&gt;
!Usage Example&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Sexually suggestive&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌†&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that display, imply, or promote sexually provocative poses, clothing, or activities. This includes but is not limited to overly revealing attire, sexually suggestive or provocative animations, or sexually-themed environments and avatars.&lt;br /&gt;
|Content labeled “sexually suggestive” might be an avatar wearing revealing lingerie or an adult-themed dance club.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Adult language and themes&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌†&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that include or promote mature subject matter such as drug use, gambling, or dark humor. This label focuses on explicit content that isn’t necessarily sexual, but is still “adult”.&lt;br /&gt;
|Content labeled as “adult language and themes” might include avatars with very explicit language on their clothing or worlds that simulate drug usage.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Graphic violence&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that depict or encourage acts of violence in a detailed, realistic manner. This includes but is not limited to depictions of physical harm, depictions of self-harm, realistic weapons with violent animations, and other related content.&lt;br /&gt;
|This label is not meant for “cartoon”-style violence but indicates that the content has some level of realism.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Excessive gore&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that contain overly graphic or vivid depictions of blood, guts, or bodily dismemberment. This can include animations, textures, or scenes that aim to shock or disgust.&lt;br /&gt;
|Content labeled as &amp;quot;excessive gore&amp;quot; might feature an avatar with overly graphic, realistic injuries or a world that depicts a gruesome, realistic crime scene.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Extreme horror&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds designed to instill intense fear, anxiety, or distress. This could include deeply unsettling themes or disturbing imagery beyond conventional and well-known horror aesthetics.&lt;br /&gt;
|This label isn’t meant for the common types of “jumpscare” horror or “spooky” worlds, it’s a few levels above that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Content labeled as &amp;quot;extreme horror&amp;quot; could include avatars with grotesque features meant to disturb, or worlds meant to horrify or shock visitors.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Explanations and usage examples are from VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/creator-guidelines|Creator Guidelines}}. &#039;&#039;&#039;No matter what, VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/legal|Terms of Service}} are the &amp;quot;final word&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&#039; These explanations will help guide you into labeling content correctly to not break TOS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;*Subject to change&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;† The age-based forced gating system was disabled as of the 7 December 2023 Dev Update, and is not active as of Feb 11, 2025.&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-update-7-december-2023/21274#content-gating-changes-5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying Content Warnings to your content===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Content warnings avatar SDK.webp|thumb|Avatar SDK content warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====SDK=====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Avatars &amp;amp; worlds&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|SDK]]&#039;s &amp;quot;Builder&amp;quot; tab, navigate to &amp;quot;World Info&amp;quot;. Select the content warnings you want, then press the &amp;quot;Save Changes&amp;quot; button at the top of the &amp;quot;Builder&amp;quot; tab.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Content warnings website.webp|thumb|Website content warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Website=====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Avatars&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Head over to your avatar page on the VRChat website, and scroll down to the &amp;quot;Content Warnings&amp;quot; section. Select the content warnings you want, and it will be automatically changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Navigate there by going to {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/avatars|this site}}, and selecting an avatar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Worlds&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Head over to your world page on the VRChat website, and scroll down to the &amp;quot;Content Warnings&amp;quot; section. Select the content warnings you want, then press the &amp;quot;Save Changes&amp;quot; button on the top right of the page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Navigate there by going to {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/content/worlds|this site}}, and selecting a world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Content filtering==&lt;br /&gt;
The way content gets filtered within VRChat is based on the date of birth used when registering their account. If the user is under the age of 18, Content Warning labels will be turned on and cannot be turned off (age-based forced content gating).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For users over the age of 18, Content Warning labels will be off by default.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====How Content Gating affects content viewing====&lt;br /&gt;
Viewing content blocked by the Content Gating system results in the following:&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!&lt;br /&gt;
!When blocked by Content Gating&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatar gets replaced with the default VRChat [[Special:MyLanguage/Robot|Robot]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Worlds&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
*Worlds will be hidden from menus and search&lt;br /&gt;
*Worlds cannot be entered&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|World Invites&lt;br /&gt;
|Unable to join instance, will be prompted with a notice&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Self-uploaded content marked and filtered with content warning labels is still viewable and usable, indicated by black and yellow hazard stripes.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Content gating main menu settings.webp|thumb|Main menu content gating]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Toggling Content Warning labels====&lt;br /&gt;
To change which labels you want to filter, first open your [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]]. Then select the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]] button at the top right. From here, select the [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings|Settings]] Tab at the bottom of the Main Menu. Then, select the &amp;quot;Comfort &amp;amp; Safety&amp;quot; category on the left side. Under the &amp;quot;Content Gating&amp;quot; header, you can begin changing the defaults to your liking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reporting missing Content Warnings==&lt;br /&gt;
Avatars or Worlds may not have any or have incorrect content warnings. These types of content can be reported using the [[Special:MyLanguage/Reporting|in-client report form]].&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Content Gating&#039;&#039;&#039; is a system that lets users filter the type of content they see in [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat|VRChat]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Age-based forced content gating has been temporarily disabled as of December 7th, 2023.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-update-7-december-2023/21274#content-gating-changes-5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Content Warnings==&lt;br /&gt;
Content Warnings can be applied to either [[Special:MyLanguage/avatars|avatars]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/worlds|worlds]]. These are all the content warnings with usage examples:&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Content Warning Label&lt;br /&gt;
!Age-based forced gating&lt;br /&gt;
!Explanation&lt;br /&gt;
!Usage Example&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Sexually suggestive&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |✔️†&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that display, imply, or promote sexually provocative poses, clothing, or activities. This includes but is not limited to overly revealing attire, sexually suggestive or provocative animations, or sexually-themed environments and avatars.&lt;br /&gt;
|Content labeled “sexually suggestive” might be an avatar wearing revealing lingerie or an adult-themed dance club.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Adult language and themes&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |✔️†&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that include or promote mature subject matter such as drug use, gambling, or dark humor. This label focuses on explicit content that isn’t necessarily sexual, but is still “adult”.&lt;br /&gt;
|Content labeled as “adult language and themes” might include avatars with very explicit language on their clothing or worlds that simulate drug usage.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Graphic violence&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that depict or encourage acts of violence in a detailed, realistic manner. This includes but is not limited to depictions of physical harm, depictions of self-harm, realistic weapons with violent animations, and other related content.&lt;br /&gt;
|This label is not meant for “cartoon”-style violence but indicates that the content has some level of realism.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Excessive gore&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds that contain overly graphic or vivid depictions of blood, guts, or bodily dismemberment. This can include animations, textures, or scenes that aim to shock or disgust.&lt;br /&gt;
|Content labeled as &amp;quot;excessive gore&amp;quot; might feature an avatar with overly graphic, realistic injuries or a world that depicts a gruesome, realistic crime scene.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Extreme horror&lt;br /&gt;
| style=&amp;quot;text-align:center;&amp;quot; |❌&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars or worlds designed to instill intense fear, anxiety, or distress. This could include deeply unsettling themes or disturbing imagery beyond conventional and well-known horror aesthetics.&lt;br /&gt;
|This label isn’t meant for the common types of “jumpscare” horror or “spooky” worlds, it’s a few levels above that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Content labeled as &amp;quot;extreme horror&amp;quot; could include avatars with grotesque features meant to disturb, or worlds meant to horrify or shock visitors.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Explanations and usage examples are from VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/creator-guidelines|Creator Guidelines}}. &#039;&#039;&#039;No matter what, VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/legal|Terms of Service}} are the &amp;quot;final word&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&#039; These explanations will help guide you into labeling content correctly to not break TOS.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;*Subject to change&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;† The age-based forced gating system was disabled as of the 7 December 2023 Dev Update, and is not active as of Feb 11, 2025.&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-update-7-december-2023/21274#content-gating-changes-5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying Content Warnings to your content===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Content warnings avatar SDK.webp|thumb|Avatar SDK content warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====SDK=====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Avatars &amp;amp; worlds&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|SDK]]&#039;s &amp;quot;Builder&amp;quot; tab, navigate to &amp;quot;World Info&amp;quot;. Select the content warnings you want, then press the &amp;quot;Save Changes&amp;quot; button at the top of the &amp;quot;Builder&amp;quot; tab.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Content warnings website.webp|thumb|Website content warnings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Website=====&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Avatars&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Head over to your avatar page on the VRChat website, and scroll down to the &amp;quot;Content Warnings&amp;quot; section. Select the content warnings you want, and it will be automatically changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Navigate there by going to {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/avatars|this site}}, and selecting an avatar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;Worlds&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Head over to your world page on the VRChat website, and scroll down to the &amp;quot;Content Warnings&amp;quot; section. Select the content warnings you want, then press the &amp;quot;Save Changes&amp;quot; button on the top right of the page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Navigate there by going to {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/content/worlds|this site}}, and selecting a world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Content filtering==&lt;br /&gt;
The way content gets filtered within VRChat is based on the date of birth used when registering their account. If the user is under the age of 18, Content Warning labels will be turned on and cannot be turned off (age-based forced content gating).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For users over the age of 18, Content Warning labels will be off by default.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====How Content Gating affects content viewing====&lt;br /&gt;
Viewing content blocked by the Content Gating system results in the following:&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!&lt;br /&gt;
!When blocked by Content Gating&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatars&lt;br /&gt;
|Avatar gets replaced with the default VRChat [[Special:MyLanguage/Robot|Robot]]&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Worlds&lt;br /&gt;
|&lt;br /&gt;
*Worlds will be hidden from menus and search&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Self-uploaded content marked and filtered with content warning labels is still viewable and usable, indicated by black and yellow hazard stripes.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Content gating main menu settings.webp|thumb|Main menu content gating]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Toggling Content Warning labels====&lt;br /&gt;
To change which labels you want to filter, first open your [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]]. Then select the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]] button at the top right. From here, select the [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings|Settings]] Tab at the bottom of the Main Menu. Then, select the &amp;quot;Comfort &amp;amp; Safety&amp;quot; category on the left side. Under the &amp;quot;Content Gating&amp;quot; header, you can begin changing the defaults to your liking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reporting missing Content Warnings==&lt;br /&gt;
Avatars or Worlds may not have any or have incorrect content warnings. These types of content can be reported using the [[Special:MyLanguage/Reporting|in-client report form]].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:2--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Age verification&#039;&#039;&#039; is a social feature that allows users to verify their age using the third-party service [https://withpersona.com/ Persona]. Users who are verified can display an age verification marker on their profile; verified users who are 18 or older can gain access to age-restricted [[Special:MyLanguage/instances|instances]]. It was announced November 27, 2024 on the official VRChat YouTube channel&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Introducing Age Verification | Developer Update #vrchat.&amp;quot; YouTube, uploaded by VRChat, 27 Nov. 2024, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odiNjIFUNvw. Accessed 27 Nov. 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:3--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The verification process is currently available in early access, for all [[Special:MyLanguage/VRC+|VRChat+]] subscribers as of January 28, 2025&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;VRChat. &amp;quot;Age Verification is now available for VRC+ Subscribers!...&amp;quot; Bluesky, 28 Jan. 2025, https://bsky.app/profile/vrchat.com/post/3lgtoi5ho2227.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Process== &amp;lt;!--T:4--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:5--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The age verification process is conducted through [https://withpersona.com/ Persona] — a third-party verification provider. Users provide a government-issued ID&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.withpersona.com/reference/government-id-verifications Government ID Verifications on &#039;&#039;withpersona.com&#039;&#039;; retrieved December 9, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and use a camera-enabled device, such as a smartphone, or computer with a webcam, to complete the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:6--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Just about any form of government identification can be used depending on the country the user is from, such as, but not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;
* Drivers License&lt;br /&gt;
* Identification Card&lt;br /&gt;
* Passport&lt;br /&gt;
* Passport Card&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- This list can vary by country to country, translators are recommended to check which IDs are available in their respective country so the list is accurate for most users --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Features== &amp;lt;!--T:8--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Profile marker === &amp;lt;!--T:9--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Age Verify DropDown Menu.webp|thumb|Profile options to select which marker is publicly shown.|&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!--T:10--&amp;gt; 200x200px&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:11--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Verified users have the option to display a marker on their profile indicating their age verification status. There are two versions of the marker that a verified user can pick from at any time: &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Age Verified&amp;quot; which &#039;&#039;any&#039;&#039; age verified user can use regardless of age.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Verified 18+&amp;quot; which can only be used by users who are age verified &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; are 18 or older. &lt;br /&gt;
The marker can also be hidden completely if a user does not want to make their verification status visible to others. Users who are verified 18+ can always access age-restricted instances, regardless of which verification marker is shown publicly on their profile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:12--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Age Verified marker alone does &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; indicate a user is 18+, only that they have verified their age. Users who are under 18 &#039;&#039;(but must be at least 13+)&#039;&#039; can verify their age with Persona, but will not be able to select the Verified 18+ marker on their profile or access age-restricted instances until they have turned 18.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Age Gated Instances === &amp;lt;!--T:13--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;translate&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:15--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Special:MyLanguage/Groups|Groups]] can create 18+ restricted [[Special:MyLanguage/Instances|instances]], requiring all participants to be age-verified &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; 18 or older to join. These restrictions can be applied to public, group-plus, or group-only instances.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

The feature was originally limited to select groups during a trial period, where only members of selected groups could apply for verification slots and create age-restricted instances&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--T:20--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The first rollout begun December 17th 2024, multiple selected groups were given access to age verification for group users. &amp;lt;!-- do we know how many? --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On January 28th 2025 the feature was rolled out to all [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat+|VRChat+]] subscribers as an Early Access feature. There is currently no confirmed date as to when it will become available to all users.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Optional:&#039;&#039;&#039; Age verification is not mandatory to use VRChat.

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Data Handling:&#039;&#039;&#039; ID data is retained by Persona for the minimum amount of time it takes to verify the user&#039;s birthdate and to create a unique one-way [[wikipedia:Cryptographic_hash_function|cryptographic hash]] utilizing data from the user&#039;s provided ID. This hash is stored on VRChat&#039;s servers for that user&#039;s account and all ID data is deleted on Persona&#039;s end, the irreversible cryptographic hash and user&#039;s verified Date of Birth remain on VRChat&#039;s servers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/lzG9IwmM7TI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Deleting verification data in VRChat will result in the user&#039;s account being unusable until they accept the Terms of Service and input their birthdate again.

[[File:Instance creation menu.webp|thumb|Create instance menu popup]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Instances&#039;&#039;&#039; are unique sessions for a [[Special:MyLanguage/Worlds|world]]. Users can create and join instances of a world, and users in the same instance can perceive and interact with each other in the shared world space, but not with users in other instances of the same world. Instances themselves can have specific properties that affect who is allowed to join, invite, or see who is in the instance. They also have a region, which correlates to a real world server that handles passing connection information between the users in the session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Instance types==&lt;br /&gt;
There are many public and private environments of all genres that the user can explore. Users may also create and join various community groups to meet other users with mutual interests. Users can choose to join a public instance, or create a private instance to be alone or invite friends after adding them. The type of privacy of created instances is up to the user, and follows under the various tiers:&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|+&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Public&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;

|Your friends, and their friends, and so on can join.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Friends&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
|Only your friends may join; friends of friends are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Invite+&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|Users and friends of users must request to join your instance, unless you or an invited user&#039;s [[social status]] is set to &amp;quot;Join Me&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Invite&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
|Users must send a join request to join you, unless your social status is set to &amp;quot;Join Me&amp;quot;; friends of friends are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Groups|Group]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|An instance that only members of a group, or specific roles within that group can access.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Group+&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|An instance hosted by a group, in which friends of group members, friends of their friends, and so on, can join. Group+ instances may have appointed group moderators to manage an instance. Being a member of the hosting group is not required to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Group Public&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Public instances===&lt;br /&gt;
Public instances are considered easily accessible and include Public and Group Public types.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://hello.vrchat.com/community-guidelines&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Private instances===&lt;br /&gt;
Private instances require an invitation or a way to get in and include Friends, Friends+, Invite, Invite+, Group, and Group+ types.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group instances ===&lt;br /&gt;
Group instances are created by a group and include Group Public, Group+, and Group types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Age Gated Instances ====&lt;br /&gt;
Optionally, if a group owner or moderator is [[Age verification|age verified]] with Persona, and have the proper role permissions, they are able to create age-verified instances; restricting instance access to users who are verified to be 18 or older to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Regions==&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst selecting an instance type, there are choices for varying regions to better optimize their experience. Choosing an instance closest to your location will see a decrease in [[Special:MyLanguage/:Community:Terminology#Ping|ping]], and ensuring a more stable connection to the instance, preventing disconnections and lag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server. On June 16, 2021, two extra regions - &#039;&#039;&#039;Europe, and Japan&#039;&#039;&#039; were added to the platform in the [https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124 Regions update]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to distribute server load, and offset increasing user count. On December 1, 2021, VRChat added the &#039;&#039;&#039;U.S. East&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202142&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; region, and renamed the current USA server to &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;U.S. West&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;&#039;. Users are also encouraged to check VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://status.vrchat.com|server status}} website or their [https://x.com/VRChat_Status VRChat Status account] on social media for outages, or upon discovering issues when connecting to VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;

== Instance permissions ==&lt;br /&gt;
Your permissions for managing an instance is dependent on whether you are a world author, instance owner, or group moderator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Instance owner ===&lt;br /&gt;
The instance owner, is the person who initiated the instance, and depending on its type can be either a user, a group, or the world author. Instance ownership cannot be changed once assigned. To change instance ownership, a new instance must be opened by another user or group. Instance ownership is often confused with a &amp;quot;master&amp;quot;, which is usually tied to [[Udon]] world settings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instance owners have permission to [[Trust and Safety#User moderation tools|moderate users]], including kicking, warning or muting them. In the case of a group instance, group moderators and their powers depend on assigned [[Special:MyLanguage/Groups#Group Roles and Permissions|group roles and permissions]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public instances do not have an assigned instance owner, and defaults to the world author.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== World author ===&lt;br /&gt;
The author of the world have the same core set of moderation tools as an instance owner, being able to moderate users in the form of kicking, warning, and muting. The author have these additional powers, depending on instance type.&lt;br /&gt;

The notification reads: &amp;quot;Warning: This instance will be reset in 60 minutes due to its age.&amp;quot;|thumb|The notification that appears when the instance is shut down.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Instances that have been running for a long period will eventually forcibly reset to prevent various issues and problems that can occur if an instance is running for too long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an instance is going to automatically reset, all users in the instance will receive a notification warning that the instance will reset in 60 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instances may last up to 7 days, but a reset may be prompted by a server-side update at any time. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Public instances===&lt;br /&gt;
Public instances are considered easily accessible and include Public and Group Public types.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://hello.vrchat.com/community-guidelines&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Private instances===&lt;br /&gt;
Private instances require an invitation or a way to get in and include Friends, Friends+, Invite, Invite+, Group, and Group+ types.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group instances ===&lt;br /&gt;
Group instances are created by a group and include Group Public, Group+, and Group types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Age Gated Instances ====&lt;br /&gt;
Optionally, if a group owner or moderator is [[Age verification|age verified]] with Persona, and have the proper role permissions, they are able to create age-verified instances; restricting instance access to users who are verified to be 18 or older to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Regions==&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst selecting an instance type, there are choices for varying regions to better optimize their experience. Choosing an instance closest to your location will see a decrease in [[Special:MyLanguage/:Community:Terminology#Ping|ping]], and ensuring a more stable connection to the instance, preventing disconnections and lag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server. On June 16, 2021, two extra regions - &#039;&#039;&#039;Europe, and Japan&#039;&#039;&#039; were added to the platform in the [https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124 Regions update]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to distribute server load, and offset increasing user count. On December 1, 2021, VRChat added the &#039;&#039;&#039;U.S. East&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202142&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; region, and renamed the current USA server to &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;U.S. West&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;&#039;. Users are also encouraged to check VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://status.vrchat.com|server status}} website or their [https://x.com/VRChat_Status VRChat Status account] on social media for outages, or upon discovering issues when connecting to VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;

== Instance permissions ==&lt;br /&gt;
Your permissions for managing an instance is dependent on whether you are a world author, instance owner, or group moderator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Instance owner ===&lt;br /&gt;
The instance owner, is the person who initiated the instance, and depending on its type can be either a user, a group, or the world author. Instance ownership cannot be changed once assigned. To change instance ownership, a new instance must be opened by another user or group. Instance ownership is often confused with a &amp;quot;master&amp;quot;, which is usually tied to [[Udon]] world settings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instance owners have permission to [[Trust and Safety#User moderation tools|moderate users]], including kicking, warning or muting them. In the case of a group instance, group moderators and their powers depend on assigned [[Special:MyLanguage/Groups#Group Roles and Permissions|group roles and permissions]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public instances do not have an assigned instance owner, and defaults to the world author.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== World author ===&lt;br /&gt;
The author of the world have the same core set of moderation tools as an instance owner, being able to moderate users in the form of kicking, warning, and muting. The author have these additional powers, depending on instance type.&lt;br /&gt;

The notification reads: &amp;quot;Warning: This instance will be reset in 60 minutes due to its age.&amp;quot;|thumb|The notification that appears when the instance is shut down.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Instances can last a long time, but will eventually be reset due to age. When this happens, a 60 minute warning appears as a notification to everyone in the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long-running instances have various issues and problems that occur unless the instance is reset, which is why this process occurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Automatic instance resets occur anywhere between 24 to 72 hours after the instance was opened, depending on various factors.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Instance creation menu.webp|thumb|Create instance menu popup]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Instances&#039;&#039;&#039; are unique sessions for a [[Special:MyLanguage/Worlds|world]]. Users can create and join instances of a world, and users in the same instance can perceive and interact with each other in the shared world space, but not with users in other instances of the same world. Instances themselves can have specific properties that affect who is allowed to join, invite, or see who is in the instance. They also have a region, which correlates to a real world server that handles passing connection information between the users in the session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Instance types==&lt;br /&gt;
There are many public and private environments of all genres that the user can explore. Users may also create and join various community groups to meet other users with mutual interests. Users can choose to join a public instance, or create a private instance to be alone or invite friends after adding them. The type of privacy of created instances is up to the user, and follows under the various tiers:&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|+&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Public&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Invite+&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|Users and friends of users must request to join your instance, unless you or an invited user&#039;s [[social status]] is set to &amp;quot;Join Me&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Invite&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
|Users must send a join request to join you, unless your social status is set to &amp;quot;Join Me&amp;quot;; friends of friends are excluded.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

|An instance that only members of a group, or specific roles within that group can access.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Group+&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|An instance hosted by a group, in which friends of group members, friends of their friends, and so on, can join. Group+ instances may have appointed group moderators to manage an instance. Being a member of the hosting group is not required to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!&#039;&#039;&#039;Group Public&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Public instances===&lt;br /&gt;
Public instances are considered easily accessible and include Public and Group Public types.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://hello.vrchat.com/community-guidelines&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Private instances===&lt;br /&gt;
Private instances require an invitation or a way to get in and include Friends, Friends+, Invite, Invite+, Group, and Group+ types.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group instances ===&lt;br /&gt;
Group instances are created by a group and include Group Public, Group+, and Group types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Age Gated Instances ====&lt;br /&gt;
Optionally, if a group owner or moderator is [[Age verification|age verified]] with Persona, and have the proper role permissions, they are able to create age-verified instances; restricting instance access to users who are verified to be 18 or older to join the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Regions==&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst selecting an instance type, there are choices for varying regions to better optimize their experience. Choosing an instance closest to your location will see a decrease in [[Special:MyLanguage/:Community:Terminology#Ping|ping]], and ensuring a more stable connection to the instance, preventing disconnections and lag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, VRChat ran solely on the U.S. West server. On June 16, 2021, two extra regions - &#039;&#039;&#039;Europe, and Japan&#039;&#039;&#039; were added to the platform in the [https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124 Regions update]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202124&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to distribute server load, and offset increasing user count. On December 1, 2021, VRChat added the &#039;&#039;&#039;U.S. East&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-202142&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; region, and renamed the current USA server to &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;U.S. West&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;&#039;. Users are also encouraged to check VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://status.vrchat.com|server status}} website or their [https://x.com/VRChat_Status VRChat Status account] on social media for outages, or upon discovering issues when connecting to VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;

== Instance permissions ==&lt;br /&gt;
Your permissions for managing an instance is dependent on whether you are a world author, instance owner, or group moderator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Instance owner ===&lt;br /&gt;
The instance owner, is the person who initiated the instance, and depending on its type can be either a user, a group, or the world author. Instance ownership cannot be changed once assigned. To change instance ownership, a new instance must be opened by another user or group. Instance ownership is often confused with a &amp;quot;master&amp;quot;, which is usually tied to [[Udon]] world settings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instance owners have permission to [[Trust and Safety#User moderation tools|moderate users]], including kicking, warning or muting them. In the case of a group instance, group moderators and their powers depend on assigned [[Special:MyLanguage/Groups#Group Roles and Permissions|group roles and permissions]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public instances do not have an assigned instance owner, and defaults to the world author.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== World author ===&lt;br /&gt;
The author of the world have the same core set of moderation tools as an instance owner, being able to moderate users in the form of kicking, warning, and muting. The author have these additional powers, depending on instance type.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Instance shutdown notification.png|alt=A notification on the VRChat Quick Menu notification pane, in the Other section. The notification reads: &amp;quot;Warning: This instance will be reset in 60 minutes due to its age.&amp;quot;|thumb|The notification that appears when the instance is shut down.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Instances can last a long time, but will eventually be reset due to age. When this happens, a 60 minute warning appears as a notification to everyone in the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long-running instances have various issues and problems that occur unless the instance is reset, which is why this process occurs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Automatic instance resets occur anywhere between 24 to 72 hours after the initial instance was opened, depending on various factors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{noticebox/official}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Trust and Safety&#039;&#039;&#039; systems in VRChat are designed to protect users from nuisance users and enhance the overall experience in VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VRChat&#039;s internal moderation process is based on {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/legal|VRChat&#039;s Terms of Service}}, last revised on November 22, 2023. All moderation actions are interpreted and judged according to this document, making it the absolute reference for all content and behavior expected on the platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guidelines ==&lt;br /&gt;
VRChat&#039;s {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/community-guidelines|Community Guidelines}} provide a more casual interpretation of the Terms of Service and extend upon scenarios not covered by the Terms of Service. These guidelines are excellent resources for navigating your personal experience on the platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The {{VRC link|https://hello.vrchat.com/creator-guidelines|Creator Guidelines}} for VRChat offer detailed information regarding [[Worlds|world]] and [[Avatars|avatar]] content. They also provide guidelines for VRChat users who create video content for platforms like YouTube and Twitch. These guidelines include content warnings for various mediums within VRChat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal Safety ==&lt;br /&gt;
Safety is a crucial aspect of the VRChat experience. The following options help keep everyone&#039;s experience safe and customizable. Advanced safety settings can be configured in the &#039;&#039;&#039;Settings&#039;&#039;&#039; section. Please refer to the [[Settings|Settings Menu Section]] for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Safety Shield ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Safety Shield is the first line of protection when meeting new players and their avatars. It enables or disables certain features based on the [[Trust Rank]] of the player or their avatar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several pre-set configurations you can select in the Safety menu. These are available for quick access in the [[Menus]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For new users, we recommend using &#039;&#039;&#039;Normal&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Maximum&#039;&#039;&#039; settings to start. If you want to fully view someone&#039;s avatar, click on them and select &amp;quot;Show Avatar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the &#039;&#039;&#039;Custom&#039;&#039;&#039; section allows you to configure how a player of each Trust Rank will appear to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a list of options available for customization:&lt;br /&gt;

==== No Safety ====&lt;br /&gt;
Use this preset with &#039;&#039;&#039;caution&#039;&#039;&#039;. It disables most safety features regardless of [[Trust Rank]]. Ensure you are in a safe, familiar environment before using this preset.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Custom Safety ====&lt;br /&gt;
You can set up your own safety settings based on the features you want to enable or disable.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Safemode.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Safe Mode ===&lt;br /&gt;
If you feel overwhelmed or if VRChat is lagging, an emergency &#039;&#039;&#039;Safe Mode&#039;&#039;&#039; button is accessible at any time in the Quick Menu. This feature disables most avatars, users&#039; voices, and anything that can cause lag or be the source of an emergency. Performance should return to a usable state while in Safe Mode. Friends are not affected by Safe Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To exit Safe Mode, open the Quick Menu and click the Safe Mode button again. Alternatively, click the &#039;&#039;&#039;Go Home&#039;&#039;&#039; button to leave the instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Player Moderation tools ==&lt;br /&gt;
When a situation becomes unmanageable, you may need to take moderation action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Muting a User ===&lt;br /&gt;
If a user is being annoying or too loud, select that user to lower their microphone volume or mute them entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocking a User ===&lt;br /&gt;
If the user continues to be annoying, you can block them. This will prevent you from seeing the user, and they will not be able to see you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reporting a User ===&lt;br /&gt;
If necessary, report the user by selecting them (before blocking them) and reporting their specific behavior. Reports are sent to the VRChat moderation team, who can take action, including banning the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Blocking an Avatar ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AvatarDisplay.webp]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If an avatar is causing annoyance, you can block the avatar itself. This blocks the avatar by its ID, preventing you from seeing it even if another user uses it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reporting an Avatar ===&lt;br /&gt;
Report an avatar if it breaks VRChat&#039;s guidelines or if it doesn&#039;t properly declare its &#039;&#039;&#039;gating options&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reporting a Group ===&lt;br /&gt;
Groups are user-created and may break VRChat rules. If necessary, report a group for appropriate action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Reporting a World ===&lt;br /&gt;
If a world breaks VRChat rules, report it to the VRChat team for action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Instance Moderation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[file:Moderator action.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instance Moderator Actions are available when you are the owner of an instance or the owner/moderator/admin of a group instance. They allow you to moderate your instance by&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Warn User:&#039;&#039;&#039; Send the user a message telling them they have been warned.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Kick User:&#039;&#039;&#039; Remove the user from the instance. They will not be able to join for 1 hour.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Force Mic Off:&#039;&#039;&#039; Mute the player&#039;s microphone. The player can unmute their microphone freely.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Ban From Group:&#039;&#039;&#039; Bans the selected user from the group that owns the instance. The player will be unable to join group instances from that group and won&#039;t be able to join that group.&lt;br /&gt;

==== Icons ====&lt;br /&gt;
Icons are circular images that can be equipped to both Profiles and Groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When equipped to your profile, the icon is displayed on your nameplate, in the Here tab, at the top of the Quick Menu and on your profile, replacing the free icon of the first 3 characters of your username.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Photos ====&lt;br /&gt;
Photos are rectangular images that can be equipped to Profiles and Groups, as well as attached to notifications sent to other users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When equipped to your profile, the photo is displayed alongside your username in Friend Locations and on your profile, replacing the thumbnail of the avatar you currently have equipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
