BackerKit Community Guidelines
We seek to foster a community of respect, creativity, and transparency on BackerKit. To do that, all of us must act with good intent, respect, and civility toward one another, creators and backers alike. In short, be excellent to each other.
Here are some guidelines we insist on:
- Respect everyone: BackerKit promotes an environment of mutual respect, kindness, and inclusivity. Personal attacks, harassment, threats, or any language promoting violence, bigotry, or discrimination towards any marginalized group are strictly not allowed. This includes hate speech, doxxing, or any content that aims to shame, intimidate, or demean individuals or groups based on their background, beliefs, or identity.
- Stay on-topic and constructive: BackerKit values genuine conversations and interactions that contribute positively to the community. Please refrain from spamming, trolling, or flooding the conversation with off-topic or unsolicited messages. This also means avoiding repetitive content, unsolicited commercial messages, or intentionally disruptive behavior. Let's make sure discussions remain authentic, constructive, and beneficial to everyone.
- Protect privacy (including your own!): BackerKit prioritizes the safety and privacy of all its users. Please do not share private or identifying information about another user that they have not already publicly shared on BackerKit. Sharing such details without the individual's explicit consent is considered a serious violation of privacy and trust within our community.
- Report any concerns: If you encounter content or behavior that violates these guidelines, we encourage you to report it to our team. This helps us maintain a safe and positive environment for everyone.
Our response depends on the seriousness of the violation and an individual's ongoing behavior. If you knowingly and consistently go against our community rules, it can lead to more serious consequences. Some of the steps we might take include:
- Sending a warning email.
- Removing inappropriate comments or content.
- Placing temporary or permanent restrictions on your account, like limiting your ability to comment, send messages, and create or support upcoming projects.
- In severe cases, reporting harmful or illegal activity to relevant authorities.
If you have any questions or inquiries about these guidelines, please don't hesitate to contact our team at trustandsafety@backerkit.com
