These Community Guidelines are intended to maintain the integrity, safety, and value of the GotAClue platform. All members are expected to follow these standards when contributing, or interacting within the community.
1. Respectful Conduct
- Treat all members with courtesy and professionalism.
- Harassment, discriminatory language, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.
- Debate ideas, not individuals.
2. Accuracy and Integrity of Content
- Submit information that is truthful, relevant, and written in good faith.
- Do not knowingly submit false, misleading, or deceptive content.
- Clearly indicate when information is based on personal experience versus verified sources.
- Spam, promotional materials, and irrelevant content are prohibited.
3. Appropriate Use of Media
- Upload only images or media directly relevant to your submission.
- Content must not be explicit, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate.
- Do not upload copyrighted or proprietary material without the necessary rights or permissions.

- Posts containing sensitive data, such as personal addresses or phone numbers, are strictly prohibited unless essential for public safety.
- Report unsafe, harmful, or suspicious activity to moderators immediately.
6. Points, Badges, and Recognition
- The gamification system (points, badges, ranks) is designed to encourage constructive participation.
- Abuse of the system—including spamming low-quality content for rewards—will result in penalties.
- Recognition is earned through meaningful contribution, not exploitation.
7. Enforcement
- Moderators reserve the right to remove content and take action against accounts that violate these guidelines.
