Reporting
If you are being harassed by a member, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please reach out to community@ingressive.co or your circle Ambassador, or other
HQ team members directly via DM (Direct Message).
Administrators will respond as soon as they are able. If the person who is harassing you is on the admin team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident.
We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of I4G circle members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.
Acceptable Content
This policy is intended to protect the community’s image, as well as the image of its members, through restrictions on certain classes of content that may be deemed to be unsuitable in a work or family context.
Classes of content which we deem to be unsuitable include:
- Pornographic or sexually suggestive material, either in graphic or text form.
- Depictions of physical or emotional abuse, either in graphic or text form.
- Persecution of any individual as a result of their race, gender, religion, or other physical traits.
- Material intended to, without basis, harm the reputation of any individual whether a member or not.
- Unsolicited advertising.
- Links, or links to pages, for the purpose of monetization of user views and which provide no value to the I4G Circle members.
- As a quick self-check, ask yourself whether you would like someone’s child to see the content you are posting. If the answer is “no”, then there’s a good chance you shouldn’t be posting it.
Consequences
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the administrators may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all I4G Circle platforms.
