Community Guidelines
1. Respect people
Do not harass, threaten, stalk, bully, intimidate, or target people with abusive behavior. Do not organize harassment or encourage others to evade blocks or moderation decisions.
2. Protect privacy
Do not expose another person's private information, credentials, private communications, exact location, or confidential records without authorization. Do not attempt to bypass private Forge, profile, Timeline, message, or member-directory access controls.
3. No scams, spam, or impersonation
Do not impersonate another person or organization, run scams, manipulate engagement, send repetitive unwanted promotions, distribute malicious links/files, or use deceptive practices to obtain money, credentials, or access.
4. Protect minors
Sexual exploitation, grooming, sexual content involving minors, or attempts to facilitate sexual contact with minors are prohibited. Follow platform and Forge age restrictions.
5. Lawful and authorized content
Do not post illegal content or material you do not have permission to share. Respect copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, and other legal rights.
6. Safety-sensitive information
Do not use ForgeGether to encourage dangerous or unlawful conduct. Health, fitness, finance, research, coaching, and other specialized communities should clearly distinguish education/community discussion from professional advice when appropriate. Members are responsible for evaluating information before acting on it.
7. Forge-specific rules
Forge Owners and authorized Forge Moderators may establish additional rules for their Forge, provided those rules do not conflict with platform-wide policies. They may remove Forge content or members within their permissions. Private Forge authority does not extend to another Forge or to platform-level Profile Timeline moderation.
8. Reporting and blocking
Use reporting tools for content or behavior that may violate these Guidelines and blocking tools when you need to prevent direct interaction. Reports should be made in good faith and should not be used to harass another member.
9. Platform enforcement
Authorized site moderation may review reported or otherwise permitted safety information and can remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or escalate serious matters. Report volume is a signal for review, not automatic proof of a violation.
10. Keep ForgeGether usable
Do not attack, overload, exploit, probe, reverse-engineer protected areas, or deliberately interfere with the service. Security research should be authorized before testing systems you do not own.
