These are the same rules you agreed to when you signed up, and the same ones our automated moderation enforces. The short version: be blunt, but do not threaten, dox, or use slurs.
Be hard on the behavior, not the person. Blunt language and disagreement are welcome. Harassment, threats, slurs, and attacks on someone’s identity aren’t. Swearing and a hard verdict are still part of the point. What is not allowed is the serious stuff: telling someone to kill themselves, wishing they would die or get hurt, or trying to find them in real life.
Do not post full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, workplaces, schools, social handles, or anything else that could identify a real person — including yourself. Cases and responses are text only. There are no photos, screenshots, or file uploads, on purpose.
No slurs, and no demeaning content aimed at someone for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic. This one is not a strike ladder — it is removed immediately.
Lived experience and a blunt take are the whole point. Handing out individualized medical, legal, or financial instructions as if you are their professional is not. Calling someone out for how they behaved is fine.
No advertising, scams, or repeated copy-paste submissions. No manipulating votes, running multiple accounts, or coordinating with others to swing a verdict.
Credible threats, sexual content involving minors, instructions for self-harm, and doxxing are removed immediately and can end an account without a warning first.
The automated filter only stops the serious stuff — slurs, threats, death wishes, doxxing, and contact details. Most of the time nothing is recorded against your account and you can try again straight away.
A strike is only recorded for the short list that leaves no room for doubt:
Strikes escalate:
Slurs, credible threats, telling someone to kill themselves, doxxing, and sexual content involving minors skip the ladder and can suspend an account on the first offence.
You can see your own standing any time on your account page. Automated moderation gets things wrong sometimes; if it did, tell us.
