Community Guidelines

Behaviour rules for online communities

Plain-language rules that set expectations for user behaviour on a platform, especially where users can message, post content, comment, or interact with each other. Community Guidelines work alongside Terms of Use: guidelines explain what behaviour is not allowed, while the terms give the business legal authority to suspend, remove content, or terminate accounts.
