Level rules as of v1.60, which are currently unavailable.

Rulesv187

The current rules as of v1.87.

As of February the 8th, 2012, level rules have been introduced to stop pornography, racism/sexism, 5 star begging, and 'fake glitch' levels clogging up the user level browser. These rules have always been in place, but they were previously just implemented into the game itself. Before the rules were made, almost half of the levels on Happy Wheels were either exact replicas of previous levels, perhaps edited a tiny bit, or copied ideas without giving credit to the original creator(s). Also beforehand, many of the levels on top of the "Rating" list would include text or "codes" that say "RATE 5 IF YOU LAND HERE", and many users would actually rate 5. Some people decided to rate zero on every level that they saw saying "rate 5", or not rate at all. Now, if a level rule is broken, the level is deleted if seen by a moderator. The official rules are available here. The rules are listed below:

1.) No references to rape or sexual abuse. No racism. No references to hate crimes.

2.) No realistic depictions of nudity or sex.

3.) No requesting that users rate your level for ANY reason. For example, "Rate 5 for importable", "Rate 5 if you land here. Rate 4 if you landed here", and so on may result in your level being deleted.

4.) No fake "glitch" levels.

5.) No levels made with the single purpose of advertising.

Trivia

  • There used to be multiple spelling errors in the introduction, such as 'You' instead of 'Your', 'follow' instead of 'following', and 'now' instead of 'not'.
  • Rule #3 is by far broken the most often, followed by rule #4. Rule #1 is broken the least.
  • Some featured levels break the level rules (particularly rule #3), but they have not been deleted from the level browser (with the exception of Crime City).
  • Most users believe that if they say "Rate 5" in a different way (for example, "R8 5," five tokens with pentagrams on them, or five stars made by polygons, or R@te 5), their level doesn't break the rules. This still breaks the rules, as this only bypasses the message box telling you to stop telling people to rate 5. Since practically every moderator is human, they can already recognize what "R8 5," five tokens with pentagrams, or drawn 5 stars mean.
  • The original rules page has been unavailable for years, but a new page was created by moderator kittenswolf in January 18th 2021.
  • The rules are also available in the Happy Wheels Discord.
