To ensure a respectful, engaging, and safe space for everyone, Topics Chat users must follow these behaviour guidelines across the app, including when participating in Topics Rooms and Public Channels.
1. General App Conduct
Respect Others
- Treat everyone with kindness and respect.
- Harassment, hate speech, bullying, and personal attacks are strictly prohibited.
- Healthy debate is welcome, but personal insults are not.
Content Guidelines
- Explicit content (e.g. nudity, adult material) is only permitted in Channels and must be properly flagged as NSFW.
- Explicit content is strictly forbidden in Topics Rooms, regardless of the context.
- Illegal, violent, or harmful content is never allowed anywhere in the app.
Identity and Privacy
- Impersonation, fake accounts, or misleading profiles are not allowed.
- Do not share anyone's personal information without their clear consent.
Reporting and Blocking
- Use the report and block features to protect yourself and others.
- Our moderation team reviews all reports and will take action if necessary, including content removal, warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans.
2. In Topics Rooms
Topics Rooms are temporary, real-time discussion spaces created around specific topics. To preserve their integrity:
Stay On-Topic
- Engage respectfully and keep your contributions relevant.
- Avoid spam, trolling, or deliberately derailing discussions.
Respect the Flow
- Give others space to speak; do not dominate or interrupt.
- Mockery, provocation, or aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated.
No Explicit Content
- Explicit content (nudity, sexual material, etc.) is not allowed in Topics Rooms.
- Violations will result in immediate removal from the room and possible account penalties.
3. In Public Channels
Public Channels are ongoing, community-driven spaces where users share content and ideas.
Contribute With Purpose
- Share relevant, valuable, and respectful content.
- Avoid spam, clickbait, or excessive self-promotion.
NSFW Content Policy
- Explicit content is only allowed in NSFW-marked Channels.
- You must clearly label the channel as NSFW during creation and ensure all content inside follows platform rules.
- Failure to flag or misuse NSFW tags may result in sanctions or removal of the channel.
Respect Channel Rules
- Channel admins may set specific rules. As long as they follow Topics Chat's guidelines, those rules should be respected.
- If a channel's theme does not suit you, simply explore others, or create your own.
Final Note
Topics Chat values freedom of expression, but that freedom must be balanced with safety, responsibility, and respect for others. By using this platform, you agree to follow these rules and contribute to a positive and inclusive community.
