1. Be Respectful

Treat all users with dignity and respect. We do not tolerate:

• Harassment, bullying, or intimidation
• Hate speech targeting race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any protected group
• Threats of violence or encouraging self-harm
• Doxxing or sharing others' personal information without consent

2. Keep It Authentic

4. Protect Privacy

• Do not share others' private information (phone numbers, addresses, photos) without their consent
• Respect the privacy settings and boundaries of other users

5. Content Moderation

Sevya actively moderates content to maintain a safe community. Our moderation approach includes:

• User Reporting: Any user can report posts or other users directly within the App. Reports include a reason category (spam, harassment, inappropriate content) and are logged for review.
• Community Review: Sevya uses a community-driven moderation system where flagged content can be reviewed by trusted community members. Posts receiving sufficient community flags are escalated for further action.
• Manual Review: All user reports and escalated content are reviewed by our team within 24 hours. Confirmed violations result in content removal and account action.
• Blocking: Users can block other users at any time. Blocked users cannot see your content or interact with you.

6. Enforcement Actions

Violations of these guidelines may result in:

• Content removal: Posts that violate guidelines are removed
• Warning: Users receive a warning for first-time or minor violations
• Temporary suspension: Repeated violations may result in a temporary account suspension
• Permanent ban: Severe or repeated violations will result in permanent account removal

7. How to Report

If you encounter content or behavior that violates these guidelines:

• Report a post: Tap the 🛡️ shield icon on any post, then select "Report Post" and choose a reason. The post is hidden from your feed immediately and our team is notified.
• Block a user: Tap the 🛡️ shield icon on any post by that user, then select "Block User". All their content is removed from your feed instantly and we are notified.
• Report a user: Long-press on any user profile card in the Connections or Discover screens to report them directly.

All reports are reviewed within 24 hours. Child safety reports are treated as urgent priority.

8. Appeals

9. Updates

We may update these guidelines as our community grows. Changes will be reflected with an updated effective date.
