Community Conduct Guidelines

Our community chat, barter board and games exist to build up our neighbors. By joining, you agree to the following.

Be kind and respectful

• Treat everyone with dignity. No harassment, bullying, hate speech, slurs, threats or sexual content.
• Disagree respectfully. Attack ideas, never people.
• Welcome people of every faith, background and language.

Keep everyone safe

• Do not share personal contact details, addresses, financial information or passwords in public chat.
• Do not ask others for money, promote scams, or advertise outside businesses.
• The barter board is for goods and services in exchange for goods and services. No cash sales.
• Never share content involving minors that is sexual or exploitative. This is reported to authorities.

Crisis and safety

Global chat is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in danger, call 911. In the US you can call or text 988 at any time. Messages that appear to describe self-harm or serious danger are held back from public view and brought to the attention of our human team so that someone can follow up.

Moderation

• Messages are automatically screened for safety and conduct concerns by Kairos, our system administrator, which flags items for human review.
• Moderators may hide messages, mute accounts or suspend accounts that break these guidelines.
• You can report any message with the Report button.
