Chat and house rules

Notifications
News from the Harvest Tycoon team, and gifts.
Global
Everyone in the valley. Be kind: new farmers read along too.
Family
Only your Farm family.
Private
One-to-one messages. Search a farmer by name, or open their profile.
Mentions
Type @ in Global or Family and pick a farmer, or choose Mention in the menu of their message. A mention reaches them like a private message.
Links
A link to this wiki, the app page or a part of Settings shows as a button that opens it. A Settings link shows the way there, such as Settings › Farm app.

Private messages off
In Settings you can switch private messages off. Then nobody can start one with you, and you cannot start one either.
Block
Blocked farmers can no longer send you private messages.
Report
Report a message or a farmer and a moderator will look at it.

There are two admins, Gerard and Tony.

Gerard, community manager
Your first contact: welcomes new farmers, answers questions and looks after the chat and the families.
Tony, developer
Builds Harvest Tycoon: the game itself, the news, the events and the gifts for everyone.
Moderators
Farmers who help keep the valley a friendly place. They look at what is reported and keep an eye on the chat.
How to spot them
An Admin or Moderator badge next to their name, in the chat and on their profile.

The team never asks for your password or payment details. A question or a problem? Send one of them a private message, or use Feedback.

Be friendly. No insults, threats or discrimination.
No spam, advertising or selling accounts.
Keep personal details to yourself: no phone numbers, addresses or passwords.
No links, except to this wiki, the app page or a part of Settings: at most 2 in one message.
Moderators can remove messages and close the chat for someone for a while or for good. That only ever closes the chat, never your farm.

Chat not open for you yet? The chat says from which level it opens.
