📌 Quick Guide: We’ve summarized the rules so you don’t have to pull an all-nighter reading them. For the full version (yes, it’s a bit more intense), scroll down like you scroll through Yik Yak and Sidechat.

👥 Identifying Students in College Communities

🚨General Rule: We do not allow any personal or identifying information about students in college communities, including names, photos, usernames, descriptions, or any details that could reveal who they are. Faculty, staff, and public figures may be mentioned, but students — including TAs — must never be identified directly or indirectly.

đźš« Bullying and Harassment

🚨General Rule: We don’t allow any form of bullying, harassment, or personal attacks toward individuals or groups, including insults, rumors, shaming, or attempts to identify or target someone. If the content could hurt, single out, or pile on a person or group, it’s not allowed.

✊ Racism and Bigotry

🚨General Rule: We don’t allow any content that discriminates against, demeans, or promotes hatred toward individuals or groups based on identity, especially marginalized communities. Slurs, hate speech, and any form of bigotry or oppression—direct or indirect—are strictly prohibited.

đź’” Sexual Assault

🚨General Rule: We do not allow content that invalidates survivors of sexual assault, including denying, doubting, or dismissing their experiences. Jokes, accusations, or any posts that minimize sexual assault—or reveal personal information about survivors or accused individuals—are strictly prohibited.

đź’Š Drugs, Alcohol, and Harmful Activity

🚨General Rule: We don’t allow content that promotes, coordinates, or facilitates illegal or dangerous activities, including seeking, buying, or selling drugs, alcohol, or other controlled substances. Posts involving harmful behavior, criminal acts, weapons, or anything that could put people at risk are strictly prohibited.

🩹 Suicide and Self-Harm

🚨General Rule: We do not allow any content that promotes, glorifies, encourages, or instructs self-harm, suicide, or disordered eating in any form. Sharing personal experiences is okay, but posts that encourage harm, mock survivors, or provide methods or instructions are strictly prohibited.

🔞 Nudity and Sexual Content

🚨General Rule: We don’t allow nudity, sexual solicitation, or excessively sexual content that makes the space uncomfortable, though general discussions about sex and relationships are fine. Explicit images, graphic descriptions, or any sexual content that targets or involves another person inappropriately are strictly prohibited.

📢 Spam and Promotion

🚨General Rule: We don’t allow spam, repeated posts, or excessive self-promotion, though sharing campus events or local businesses is fine when done responsibly. Malicious or unclear links, as well as any repetitive or irrelevant content, are strictly prohibited.

⚔️ Violence and Gore

🚨General Rule: We don’t allow threats, encouragement, or glorification of violence toward any person, group, or animal, and serious threats to life may be reported to authorities. Graphic gore or realistic violent imagery is strictly prohibited, though non-graphic discussion of injuries or fictional violence is allowed when clearly indicated.
