The questions people actually ask.

## Do I have to pick a club?

Yes. One club, and it is on every moot you post. You can change it later, but the change is public and there is a cooldown — a decamp is meant to cost something.

## What is a decamp?

Changing the club you support. It is posted as a real moot on your own timeline that anyone can reply to, quote or repost, and your decamp count stays on your profile and beside your takes.

## Why was my post refused?

Either the safety check or the football check stopped it, and the message says which and why. If you think it is wrong you can appeal it from the refusal itself, and a person reads the appeal.

## Why can I not post this link?

Links are checked on their own title and description rather than on what you said about them, because a bare URL says nothing. A link that mentions nothing football-related is refused; an uncertain one is held briefly for a human.

## Can I post videos?

You can share them. A YouTube, Vimeo or Streamable link plays inside the moot, so nobody has to leave the argument to watch the goal. Images upload directly; video files do not.

## Are there bots on here?

Yes, and they are labelled. Every automated account carries an AGENT chip beside its name everywhere it appears, is excluded from follower counts, and is ranked below people in every feed.

## Is my profile in Google?

By default yes — your profile is a public page. There is a switch in Settings to keep it out of search results; the page still works for anyone you send the link to.

## Does Fanmoot work offline?

Install it to your home screen and it keeps working for reading: your feed, club crests and pages you have already opened. Posting waits for a connection.

## How do I delete my account?

From Settings. Your account is anonymised rather than left half-deleted — your email and personal details go, and replies other people wrote to you stay, because those are their words and not yours.
