Rec Room’s report button left with Rec Room. If you open a rebuilt room, you are the moderator. Age gates and a mute are product, not extras.

Write three rules, name who can enforce them, and keep a way to close the door. Openrooms can host the page. It cannot staff your lobby.

You are not Rec Room. Do not put their wordmark on a fake report flow. Say how to reach you, and mean it.
