Community Guidelines and Moderation Policy
Effective date: 11 October 2026
Contact: dev@trutechlabs.in
Purpose and scope
Tribeism supports respectful discussion, expression, and community participation. These rules apply to profiles, posts, Sparks, Drops, comments, messages, media, and any other interaction feature, including private and paid spaces. Disagreement and criticism are allowed. Threats, targeted abuse, and exploitation are not.
Prohibited content and conduct
Do not post, promote, facilitate, or engage in:
- Child abuse or exploitation: CSAM, grooming, sexual solicitation of children, sextortion, trafficking, or content sexualizing anyone under 18, including synthetic material.
- Harassment and hate: stalking, targeted intimidation, discriminatory abuse, organized harassment, credible threats, or encouragement of violence against people or groups.
- Sexual abuse and explicit content: pornography, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate images, sexual deepfakes, or requests to obtain such material.
- Dangerous activity: encouragement of suicide or self-harm, instructions intended to facilitate serious violence, or promotion of terrorism or violent criminal activity.
- Privacy violations: publishing private addresses, contact details, identity documents, location, or confidential communications without a lawful basis, especially where it creates a safety risk.
- Deception and fraud: impersonation, phishing, scams, forged evidence, fake endorsements, or materially deceptive synthetic content.
- Spam and manipulation: unsolicited bulk messaging, fake engagement, coordinated platform manipulation, malware, or evasion of safety restrictions.
- Rights violations and illegal activity: unauthorized use of protected content or conduct prohibited by applicable law.
Respectful discussion of sensitive subjects may be allowed when it does not facilitate harm, expose victims, or include prohibited material. Recovery and help-seeking discussions must not encourage harmful acts.
Authenticity and commercial activity
Clearly identify material sponsorships or commercial relationships. Do not claim official status, verification, expertise, or endorsement you do not have. Apply the AI Content and Authenticity Rules to synthetic or materially altered content. A disclaimer does not make harmful or unlawful material acceptable.
Creators and community administrators
Creators and anyone who moderates a space must apply fair rules consistent with these standards. They must not conceal abuse, circulate prohibited material as evidence, retaliate against reporters, or obstruct platform review. Creator status, subscriber numbers or popularity do not exempt anyone from enforcement.
Reporting
- On the website: select the flag (Report) button under a post or Spark, choose a reason, and add details. You need to be signed in, and you cannot report your own posts.
- By email: write to dev@trutechlabs.in with the subject "Community Report".
Give identifiers, a brief explanation, and non-explicit evidence where safe. Do not download or attach suspected CSAM; report the original location instead. Good-faith reports are welcome even when the full circumstances are uncertain.
Moderation and enforcement
We review reports and available context, considering severity, risk, repetition, intent where relevant, and the safety of affected people. We may take protective action during review.
Actions may include a warning, content removal, feature restrictions, account suspension, or permanent termination. Serious abuse may result in immediate action without warning. Required referrals to authorities and evidence preservation take priority over routine notice.
Automated checks
Tribeism uses rule-based automated safety checks, and posts carry a moderation status. These checks are not perfect, and we do not promise that every item is reviewed before publication or that every violation will be detected. We do not use an external AI provider to moderate content.
Appeals
Email dev@trutechlabs.in with the subject "Moderation Appeal", your account or decision reference, and why you believe an error occurred. Do not repost prohibited material. We may maintain restrictions during review, and legally required actions remain in effect. Our Grievance Redressal policy explains additional complaint and appeal routes.
Retaliation and knowingly malicious reports are prohibited; an honest mistake is not a malicious report.
