skyemod. is a purpose-built moderation solution for y99 chat rooms, built by Skye. It is operated by the room's own administrators, not by a third-party company. This page describes what data the tool processes in the course of moderating rooms and handling unban requests.
To moderate a room, the tool reads messages posted in that room and may act on them (delete a message, warn or ban a user) according to the rules and settings configured by the room's moderators. It stores moderation records such as warnings and bans, including the username involved, a reason, and a timestamp. Messages that do not trigger any action are not stored long-term.
Where enabled by a room's moderators, message text may be sent to a self-hosted AI classifier to help detect harmful content. This classifier runs on infrastructure controlled by the operator; message text is used only to produce a safety classification and is not used to train models.
If you submit an unban request, the tool records the information you provide (your ban appeal and the username it concerns) together with a snapshot of your public y99 profile and your most recent messages in the room prior to the ban, so moderators can review the request. Your IP address is recorded in connection with the submission to prevent abuse. Requests marked as spam may result in your IP address and/or username being blocked from submitting further requests.
Members can report someone, either from a public page or with a command in the chat if the room allows it. A report records who reported, what they said the reason was, and a snapshot of the reported person's public y99 profile: their display picture, bio, age, gender, level and country, as shown on y99 at that moment. It also records the room's recent messages, so moderators can see the report in context. Where a room allows it, a screenshot may be attached by the reporter.
Reports are visible only to the moderators of the room concerned. The person who reported may be told privately on y99 that their report arrived and what was decided, if the room has that switched on.
Moderators have a private chat per room, not visible to members. It stores the messages they write, who wrote them and when, and any votes opened about banning or unbanning somebody, along with who voted which way.
An account stores a username, a password (kept only as a hash, never in readable form), and optionally a display name, a profile picture, and a y99 username. The y99 username is confirmed with a code sent to that account, so mention alerts only ever reach its actual owner. Profile pictures are stored on this server rather than loaded from y99 each time.
Sign-in can be protected with an authenticator app or a passkey. A passkey stores only a public key and an identifier; the biometric data or PIN never leaves your device and is not available to this service.
Sign-in attempts are recorded with the address they came from, to detect and slow down attempts to break into an account.
Where an invitation link is used, the request records the chosen username, a password hash, the confirmed y99 username, anything written in the message field, and the address the request was sent from. Requests that are declined are kept as a record of the decision.
Moderators choose what they are notified about. Notifications may be shown in the app, sent to the browser as a push message, or forwarded to a Gotify server the moderator configures. Where Gotify is used, the notification text is sent to that server, which is operated by whoever set it up and not by this service.
For moderators who log in, the tool uses a session cookie strictly to keep you signed in. It is not used for tracking or advertising. Public pages (such as the unban form) do not set tracking cookies.
Moderation records and unban requests are retained for as long as the room's operators consider necessary for moderation. Because the service is self-hosted, retention and deletion are ultimately controlled by the operator of this instance.
Questions about the data held about you, or requests to remove it, should be directed to the moderators of the room you interacted with, who operate this instance.
