Respectful Communication
- Civility First: Treat every community member with respect and courtesy. Avoid language or actions that could be construed as harassment, hate speech, or bullying.
- Constructive Dialogue: Share your opinions and feedback in a manner that contributes positively to discussions.
Privacy & Security
- Protect Personal Data: Do not share your own or others’ personal or sensitive information without explicit consent.
- Respect Confidentiality: Clamshell is built on encryption to safeguard your conversations. We trust you to maintain that confidentiality by not exposing private discussions in public forums.
Appropriate Content
- No Illegal or Harmful Material: Sharing or promoting illegal content, harmful links, or materials that encourage violence is strictly prohibited.
- Intellectual Property: Only share content that you have the right to distribute. Respect copyright laws and the intellectual property of others.
Spam, Scams, and Unsolicited Content
- Keep It Clean: Avoid sending spam, scams, or unsolicited advertisements. Your messages should always add value to the conversation.
- No Malicious Behavior: Any attempts to introduce malware, phishing schemes, or other harmful content will not be tolerated.
Compliance with Laws and Policies
- Legal Obligations: Your activities on Clamshell must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Policy Updates: We reserve the right to modify these guidelines as needed. Continued use of Clamshell means you accept any changes.
Moderation and Reporting
- Community Moderation: Because messages are end-to-end encrypted, we cannot read your messages. This means that Clamshell’s moderation capabilities are limited. You can always block users to remove their content, and Channel Admins can kick users.
- Report Violations: If you see behavior or content that violates these guidelines, please report the user immediately. Your input helps us maintain a healthy community.
