Last Updated on September, 2024

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 — 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 & Privacy

  • Impersonation, fake accounts, or misleading profiles are not allowed.

  • Do not share anyone's personal information without their clear consent.

🔹 Reporting & 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 — don't 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 doesn't 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.
