CONQR Community Policy: What It Says and Why It Matters

CONQR Community Policy: What It Says and Why It Matters
CONQR knight running

The rules we set reflect the community we're trying to build.

Safety and privacy are top priorities for CONQR, and something I’m determined to get right as we launch.

CONQR isn’t just a solo running game, it’s a place for community too.

Guilds are running groups you can join based on location, interest, or people you know. Members can see each other’s achievements, cheer each other on, and stay motivated together. Guild owners can post announcements and schedule events — things like 5Ks, recurring weekend runs, whatever brings the group together.

Events let guilds organize real-world meetups. Show up, run together, claim territory as a pack.

Why Community Matters

Here’s the thing: consistency is hard. Most people don’t quit running because they hate running, they quit because they lose momentum. A rest day becomes a rest week becomes “I used to run.”

Community changes that. When someone in your guild is out there claiming territory, you notice. When your group has a Saturday morning run on the calendar, you show up. When you see a teammate’s streak hit 30 days, you don’t want to be the one who fell off.

CONQR’s community features exist because accountability works. Guilds turn strangers into teammates. Events turn app notifications into real life high fives. The game is more fun, and you’re more likely to stick with it, when other people are counting on you.

That’s worth protecting. Which brings us to the policy.

Today I’m releasing our CONQR Community Policy. Here’s what’s in it and why.

"Don’t Be a Creep"

My note at the top of the policy:

That’s the standard. Everything else exists to make it enforceable.

What’s Not in Our Control

I want to be upfront: CONQR doesn’t screen users, verify identities, or background-check event organizers. When you join a guild or show up to an event, you’re interacting with strangers. That’s true of any online community, and it’s true here.

What we can do is set expectations, give you tools, and enforce consequences.

Protecting Your Location Data

A territory game means your activity is tied to real places. We take that seriously and build in protections:

  • No public run routes. Your actual path is never shared unless you explicitly choose to share it.
  • Privacy fuzzing. Location data shown to others is deliberately imprecise.
  • Random timing delays. Territory changes aren’t broadcast immediately—there’s a randomized waiting period so others can’t track when you’re running in real time.
  • Profile controls. Optional settings let you further limit what’s shared publicly.
  • And from Section 5.2 of the policy:

    Using CONQR to figure out where someone lives or runs is expressly against our policy and will result in a ban of our services.

    Guild Owners Have Power and Responsibility

    If you start a guild, you get tools: approve members, remove members, post announcements, schedule events. But from Section 5.4:

    A women’s running group can be women-only. A neighborhood crew can keep it local. But you can’t use membership rules as cover for harassment. If you can’t manage a guild responsibly, you’ll lose the ability to run one.

    Events Are on Organizers, but Standards Apply

    CONQR doesn’t verify venues, check permits, or screen participants. That’s on organizers. But from Section 8.2:

    If you attend an event, you do so at your own risk, same as any meetup. But organizers who violate these standards can be reported and removed.

    Links Are Checked

    Guild owners can include links in announcements—race registrations, routes, meeting spots. Links are automatically screened against known malicious sites using industry-standard tools. It’s not perfect, but it’s a layer of protection. We encourage exercising caution when clicking unknown links and encourage reporting of links that violate CONQR’s community policy.

    We Protect Minors

    Users under 18 get automatic restrictions, limited public visibility, no hosting events. And from Section 9.5:

    Non-negotiable.

    The Bottom Line

    Community features make CONQR better. The policy exists to keep everyone safe. And if something ever feels off let us know through our in-app reporting features.

    FAQ

    Can I get banned for taking someone’s territory?

    No. That’s the game. Bans are for cheating, harassment, or policy violations.

    Can other players see my running routes?

    Not unless you choose to share them. CONQR shows territory you hold, not how you got there.

    What counts as cheating?

    GPS spoofing, bots, multiple accounts, faking activity, or coordinating to manipulate rankings.

    Can guild owners kick anyone they want?

    They can manage their guild, but not use those tools to harass, retaliate, or discriminate.

    Are events safe?

    Events are user-hosted. CONQR doesn’t screen organizers. Use your judgment and leave if something feels off.

    What happens if I report someone?

    We review it and may take action from warnings to bans. Every report matters.

    Can I appeal a ban?

    Yes—email info@runconqr.com within 30 days.
