Our commitment to a respectful and safe environment.
Last updated: May 6, 2025
The primary goal of these Community Guidelines is to ensure Jacket.fm is a welcoming, respectful, and safe space for everyone to share, connect, and interact. We are committed to fostering positive interactions and constructive dialogue, where diverse individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves.
On Jacket.fm, respect means treating everyone with courtesy, empathy, and consideration, even when you disagree. It involves valuing diverse perspectives, listening to understand, and communicating in a way that does not demean, insult, harass, or intimidate others. It's about creating an environment where all members feel valued.
These guidelines are crucial for maintaining a healthy and vibrant community. They set clear expectations for behavior, protect users from abuse and negativity, and help ensure that Jacket.fm remains a place where people feel safe and encouraged to engage authentically.
We expect all users to contribute positively to the Jacket.fm community. This includes: • Communicating respectfully and thoughtfully. • Engaging constructively in discussions, even when opinions differ. • Being mindful of how your words and actions might impact others. • Helping to maintain a positive and supportive environment for all.
Disagreements are a natural part of any community and can lead to valuable discussions. However, it's essential to express disagreements respectfully. Focus on the topic at hand, critique ideas rather than attacking individuals, and refrain from personal insults, name-calling, or inflammatory language. Seek to understand different viewpoints and engage in civil debate.
Before posting or commenting, take a moment to consider if your contribution is respectful, constructive, and in line with these guidelines. Ask yourself if it could be misinterpreted or cause unnecessary offense. A little thoughtfulness goes a long way in maintaining a positive community.
To ensure a safe and respectful environment, the following are strictly prohibited: • Hate Speech and Discrimination: Content that promotes violence, incites hatred, discriminates, or disparages individuals or groups based on attributes like race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, disability, serious medical conditions, or any other protected characteristic. • Harassment and Bullying: Any form of targeted abuse, intimidation, threats, stalking, or behavior intended to degrade or humiliate others. This includes sexual harassment and encouraging others to harass an individual or group. • Personal Attacks and Insults: Attacking someone's character, intelligence, or appearance instead of discussing their ideas. Name-calling and targeted insults are not allowed. • Threats and Incitement to Violence: Any statements that threaten harm to individuals or groups, or content that encourages or glorifies violence. • Doxxing and Sharing Private Information: Sharing someone's personal information (e.g., home address, phone number, private photos/videos, email address, financial information) without their explicit consent. • Spam and Malicious Content: Unsolicited commercial content, repetitive posts, spreading malware, phishing attempts, or any other disruptive or harmful content. • Illegal Activities: Content that promotes, facilitates, or enables illegal activities. • Sexually Explicit Content & Non-Consensual Intimacy: We prohibit graphically explicit content and any content depicting non-consensual sexual acts or the sharing of private intimate images without consent. • Impersonation: Impersonating another person or entity in a deceptive or misleading manner. • Spread of Harmful Misinformation/Disinformation: Knowingly sharing false or misleading information that has the potential to cause significant harm to individuals, groups, or public safety.
While we allow for genuine expression of grievances, consistently instigating drama, deliberately provoking conflict, spreading unsubstantiated rumors for malicious intent, or creating an overwhelmingly negative atmosphere that detracts from constructive community interaction is discouraged and may be moderated if it violates other guidelines or persistently disrupts the community.
No. You must not share anyone's private or personal identifying information without their explicit and verifiable consent. This is a serious violation of privacy and our guidelines.
Our dedicated moderation team, along with automated systems, works to enforce these guidelines. We review content and behavior reported by users, as well as proactively monitor for violations. Our aim is to apply these guidelines consistently and fairly.
Violations of our Community Guidelines can result in a range of actions, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense, and the intent. These actions may include: • A warning for minor offenses. • Removal of the offending content. • Temporary suspension of account privileges (e.g., posting, commenting). • Permanent account suspension or ban for severe or repeated violations. We generally aim for a progressive disciplinary approach, giving users a chance to understand and correct their behavior, but some violations may warrant immediate and severe action.
If you encounter content or behavior that you believe violates our Community Guidelines, please use the in-app reporting tools available on posts or user profiles. You can also contact our support team directly at [email protected]. Please provide as much detail and context as possible (e.g., screenshots, links, description of the issue) to help us investigate.
We understand that errors can sometimes occur. If you believe a moderation action taken against your account or content was made in error, you can appeal the decision by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Please provide your username and details about the specific action you are appealing. We will review your case.
We rely on community members to report issues. In some cases, especially minor disagreements that don't explicitly violate guidelines, we may choose not to intervene if the community is capable of resolving it respectfully. However, we will step in when clear violations occur or when a situation escalates.
Every member plays a part in shaping our community culture! You can help by: • Leading by Example: Always communicate respectfully and constructively. • Reporting Violations: If you see something that breaks the rules, report it. • Promoting Understanding: Encourage empathetic conversations and help de-escalate minor tensions if you feel comfortable doing so respectfully. • Sharing Positive Content: Contribute content that inspires, entertains, or informs in a positive way. • Welcoming Newcomers: Help new members feel welcome and guide them if they have questions about the community norms.
We value the feedback from our community. These guidelines are living documents and may evolve over time. We will periodically review and update them based on community feedback and the changing nature of online interactions to ensure they continue to foster a safe and respectful environment for everyone on Jacket.fm.
Thank you for helping us keep Jacket.fm a positive and respectful community for everyone!
