Community Guide

Our platform is a place for users to connect, share ideas, and express themselves freely. We believe in the power of open communication but also recognize the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all users. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, we ask that you follow these guidelines:

• Be respectful: Treat others with respect and kindness. Do not engage in harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or serious disease.
• No violence or threats: Do not promote or glorify violence, or threaten to harm others. This includes direct threats, as well as content that incites violence or promotes terrorism.
• No abuse or hateful conduct: We have zero tolerance for abuse, hateful conduct, and harassment. This includes wishing harm on others, promoting hate groups, and targeting individuals with repeated slurs, tropes, or other dehumanizing content.
• Protect private information: Respect the privacy of others. Do not share private or confidential information, such as home addresses, phone numbers, or financial information without permission.
• No spam or platform manipulation: Do not engage in spamming, excessive automation, or attempts to manipulate the platform. This includes using multiple accounts to artificially amplify or suppress information and engaging in coordinated activity to mislead others.
• No illegal activities: Do not use our platform for any unlawful purposes or to promote illegal activities.
• Authenticity and impersonation: Be authentic and honest about who you are. Do not impersonate others or create fake accounts to mislead people.
• Impersonation of public figures: Impersonating public figures, such as politicians, celebrities, or other well-known individuals, is not allowed unless it is clearly labeled as parody or fan content.
• Intellectual property rights: Respect the intellectual property rights of others. Do not share content that infringes on copyrights, trademarks, or other protected material without permission from the rightful owner.
• Misinformation and disinformation: Do not knowingly share false or misleading information. We encourage fact-checking and providing context to help others make informed decisions.
• Self-harm and suicide: We care about the well-being of our users. Do not promote or encourage self-harm or suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help from local support services.
• Nudity and sexual content: Do not post, share, or solicit pornographic material or explicit sexual content. This includes images, videos, and sexually explicit text or audio. Artistic, educational, or journalistic content containing nudity may be allowed if it is appropriately labeled and not gratuitously graphic. However, we reserve the right to remove this content if it is deemed inappropriate for our platform.
• Reporting violations: If you believe someone is violating these guidelines, please report it to our moderation team. You can do this by clicking the "Report" button on the offending post or by contacting us directly.
• Appeals process: If you believe your content was removed or your account was suspended in error, you may appeal the decision by contacting our support team. We will review your case and provide a response as soon as possible.
• Compliance with laws: In addition to our community guidelines, all users must comply with applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.
• Advertising and promotional content: If you are sharing promotional or advertising content, make sure it complies with our advertising policies and any applicable laws and regulations. Clearly disclose any sponsored content or paid partnerships.
• Cyberbullying and harassment: We do not tolerate any form of cyberbullying or harassment, whether it's targeted at an individual or a group. This includes repeated unwanted contact, public shaming, and the sharing of private information to harass or intimidate others.
• Protecting minors: The safety of minors is of utmost importance to us. Do not share content that exploits or endangers minors in any way. This includes sexual content involving minors, as well as content that targets minors for harassment or abuse.
• Sharing newsworthy events: When sharing news or real-time events, please verify the information from reliable sources before posting to avoid spreading misinformation. Provide context and cite your sources to help others understand the situation better. Be mindful of the potential impact on victims, survivors, and their loved ones. Respect their privacy and avoid sensationalizing their experiences.
• Credit Original Creators: When sharing someone else's work, whether it's art, photography, writing, or any other form of creative expression, it's important to properly attribute the original creator. Clearly credit the original creator by including their name, username, or other identifying information. Do not claim someone else's work as your own. This is a form of intellectual property theft and can result in serious consequences.
• Protect Your Account: Use a strong, unique password that includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or common words.
• Payments and Financial Transactions: All financial transactions must comply with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to taxes, fraud prevention, and money laundering. Do not use our platform to engage in fraudulent or deceptive financial practices, such as pyramid schemes, money laundering, or other illegal activities.
• Collaborating with law enforcement: We comply with valid legal requests from law enforcement agencies investigating criminal activity. However, we also prioritize the privacy and free speech rights of our users and will push back on overly broad or unreasonable requests.
• Continuously evolving policies: As new challenges and situations arise, we are committed to updating and refining our community guidelines to better serve our users. We value your feedback and encourage you to reach out if you have suggestions for improvement.

Our community thrives when we all contribute to fostering a welcoming, safe, and engaging environment. These guidelines are in place to ensure that everyone, from all walks of life, feels valued and respected. We appreciate your commitment to making Tenetic a vibrant and positive community.

By using our platform, you agree to abide by these Community Guidelines and our Terms of Service.
