Code of conduct

ondiscute is a place for conversation open to everyone, young people included. To keep it that way, everyone who enters accepts these rules.

The rules

Respect. Disagree without insulting. No personal attacks.
No hate. No racist, antisemitic, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise discriminatory speech; no glorification of violence or terrorism.
No harassment. Don't pursue people who don't want to talk to you; no threats, no intimidation.
No sexual content. No sexual talk or links, in any salon.
Protecting minors, no exceptions. Young people use ondiscute. Soliciting a minor (asking for photos, meetings, contact details, sexual talk) or any content sexualising children leads to a permanent ban and a report to the authorities.
Privacy. Don't post other people's personal information (address, phone, photos…) — or your own. Phone numbers and emails are hidden automatically.
No spam. No advertising, chain messages, link bursts or flooding.
No impersonation. Don't pretend to be someone else, or a moderator.
Obey the law. Nothing illegal: hacking, scams, drugs, weapons, etc.

How moderation works

A salon's creator can delete messages, kick someone out for 15 minutes or close the salon.
Anyone can report a message; the site team reviews reports.
The 🆘 Not OK? button lets anyone protect themselves instantly and alert the team.
Automatic filters block hateful terms, turn swear words into funny ones and limit flooding and links.
Conversations are logged and kept for one year so abuse can be handled and lawful requests answered.

Sanctions

Depending on severity: message deleted, temporary removal from a salon, site-wide ban (temporary or permanent). Illegal content may be passed on to the relevant authorities.
