Community Guidelines
KommUnitea is a place to organise real-world communities and events. These Community Guidelines (“Guidelines”) explain what is and isn’t allowed, and — importantly — who is responsible for moderating what. They form part of, and should be read alongside, our Terms of Service.
1. Who moderates what
KommUnitea is a platform that hosts content created by its users. We do not pre-screen or author the content posted in communities, events, chats, or memories. Moderation works in tiers:
- Community admins are responsible for their own community. If you create or administer a community, you are responsible for setting its tone, reviewing reports about content in it, and removing content or members that break these Guidelines. When you create a community you confirm that you accept this responsibility.
- Organisation managers are responsible for the communities that belong to their organisation, where one is involved. They can review and act on reports across those communities, and are the next point of escalation when a community’s own admins cannot fairly handle a report (for example, when the report concerns an admin).
- KommUnitea acts as the final backstop. We review reports that are escalated to us, respond to valid legal notices, and may remove content or suspend accounts that breach these Guidelines or the law. Being the backstop does not make us the first-line moderator of every community.
2. What’s not allowed
Do not post, host, or share content — or organise events — that:
- is illegal, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity;
- harasses, bullies, threatens, or incites violence or hatred against people or groups;
- is hate speech, or attacks people based on who they are (e.g. race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation);
- is sexual content involving minors, or sexualises anyone under 18 in any way (we report this to the relevant authorities);
- is pornographic or gratuitously violent;
- infringes someone else’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
- shares someone’s private information without consent (“doxxing”);
- is spam, a scam, or deliberately deceptive; or
- impersonates another person or organisation.
3. Be a good participant
- Treat other members with respect, even when you disagree.
- Keep content relevant to the community you’re posting in.
- Only share content you have the right to share.
- Follow any additional rules an individual community sets, as long as they don’t conflict with these Guidelines or the law.
4. Reporting
Every user can report content or people. In the app, use the report option on the item (an event, memory, announcement, message, or profile). Reports are routed first to the relevant community’s admins, then — where appropriate — to the organisation’s managers, and finally to KommUnitea. You can also email us at hello@kommunitea.app.
5. What happens when something breaks the rules
Depending on the severity, a community admin, an organisation manager, or KommUnitea may remove the content, remove a member from a community, or — for serious or repeated breaches — suspend or delete an account. We aim to act on valid reports of clearly illegal content promptly once we are made aware of it. Where we remove content you posted, we will, where feasible and lawful, tell you the reason.
6. Legal requests and illegal content
If you believe content on KommUnitea is illegal, please report it in the app or email hello@kommunitea.app with enough detail for us to locate and assess it. We cooperate with valid requests from competent authorities in line with applicable law.
7. Changes
We may update these Guidelines as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Guidelines.
