Content Guidelines: Understanding "Notes"
Our platform allows for a unique feature: personal "notes." We understand that these notes can sometimes be a space for unfiltered expression. Here's how we handle certain types of language within them:
Important Note on Language in Personal Notes:
We permit the use of cussing, strong language, and even slurs within your personal notes, PROVIDED THAT IT IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP. This means:
- Using such language for personal expression, comedic effect, or to convey intense emotion within your own thoughts is generally acceptable.
- However, any language, including cussing or slurs, that is used to harass, threaten, abuse, defame, or directly target another user or group will result in immediate action. This is a zero-tolerance policy.

- Hate Speech: Content that promotes discrimination, hatred, or violence against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
- Threats of Violence: Any credible threats of harm or violence towards others, including self-harm.
