1. MODERATION & ENFORCEMENT

We may use automated systems to detect violations. These systems are confidently wrong approximately 23% of the time. Your mileage may vary.

Moderators are volunteers/employees who do their best. They're also human and occasionally petty. We apologize in advance and also in arrears.

2. PROHIBITED BEHAVIOR

Ban evasion will result in the new account being banned. And the next one. We can do this all day. We have interns.

Manipulation of engagement metrics through bots, alt accounts, or coordinated inauthentic behavior is prohibited. The authentic version is somehow worse but technically allowed.

Impersonation of other users, celebrities, or Bindle staff is not allowed. Impersonation of corporate accounts you disagree with is also not allowed but slightly more understandable.

3. SAFETY FEATURES

Privacy settings let you control who sees your content. The default settings expose everything, because that's how we make money.

Two-factor authentication is recommended. We won't require it because users complained, and then they'll complain when they get hacked. It's a beautiful cycle.

Content warnings may be applied to sensitive material. Our AI determines sensitivity, and it was trained on data we'd rather not discuss.

If you feel unsafe, please contact our Safety team at an email address that goes to a shared inbox checked twice weekly.

4. RESPECTFUL CONDUCT

Harassment, bullying, and intimidation are prohibited. We define these terms however is most convenient at the time of enforcement. Tone-policing may apply.

Treat others as you would want to be treated, unless you're into that sort of thing, in which case please keep it off our platform.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Trademark use must be nominative and appropriate. If you don't know what that means, neither do we. Just don't be weird about logos.

Respect others' intellectual property. Also respect ours—we own everything you post here, remember?

6. REPORTING & APPEALS

Reports are confidential, meaning we won't tell the reported user who reported them. We might hint strongly if it's obvious, though.

All reports are reviewed by our team, which consists of AI systems, offshore contractors, and one very tired person in San Francisco.

Appeals must be submitted within 30 days using a form that requires you to already be logged in to the account you can't access. Good luck.

7. GUIDELINE UPDATES

Retroactive enforcement of new rules is theoretically prohibited but practically ambiguous. Don't quote us on this.

Suggestions for guideline improvements can be submitted to our feedback portal, where they will be read with interest and implemented never.
