1 Respect & Behavior

• Treat every member with respect, regardless of background, opinion, or identity.
• No harassment, bullying, threats, or targeted insults toward any user.
• No hate speech, slurs, or content that promotes discrimination or violence.
• Disagreements happen — keep them civil, or take them out of shared rooms.

2 Child Safety

• Never request personal contact information from minors.
• Never share or request sexual content involving anyone underage.
• Report suspicious behavior toward minors immediately using in-platform tools.

3 Content Standards

• No sexually explicit, graphic, or pornographic content.
• No excessively violent, gory, or disturbing media.
• No content promoting self-harm, suicide, or dangerous behavior.
• Profile pictures and usernames must follow the same standards as chat content.

4 Privacy & Personal Information

• Do not share another user's personal information without consent (doxxing).
• Do not pressure others into sharing personal photos, addresses, or contact details.
• Be cautious about what personal information you share about yourself in public rooms.

5 Spam, Scams & Fraud

• No spam, mass messaging, or repetitive flooding of chat rooms.
• No phishing links, fake giveaways, or financial scams.
• No advertising unrelated products, services, or other platforms without permission.
• No use of bots, scripts, or automated tools to interact with the Service.

6 Impersonation & Fake Accounts

• Do not impersonate staff, moderators, or other members.
• Do not create multiple accounts to evade a ban or mute.
• Do not pretend to have permissions or authority you don't have.

7 Illegal Activity

• No promotion or facilitation of illegal goods, services, or activity.
• No sharing of malware, hacking tools, or instructions to breach security.
• No coordinating harassment campaigns, raids, or brigading against users or other communities.

8 Reporting & Enforcement

If you see something that breaks these rules, report it using the in-platform report tools rather than confronting the user publicly — public callouts often escalate harassment rather than resolve it.

• Reports are reviewed by moderators using a mix of automated detection and human review.
• Enforcement actions may include warnings, timeouts, suspensions, or permanent bans.
• Severe violations (child safety, threats of violence) may result in immediate action without warning.
• You may appeal a moderation decision through official support channels.
