# 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

1. **Respect.** Disagree without insulting. No personal attacks.
2. **No hate.** No racist, antisemitic, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise discriminatory speech; no glorification of violence or terrorism.
3. **No harassment.** Don't pursue people who don't want to talk to you; no threats, no intimidation.
4. **No sexual content.** No sexual talk or links, in any salon.
5. **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.
6. **Privacy.** Don't post other people's personal information (address, phone, photos…) — or your own. Phone numbers and emails are hidden automatically.
7. **No spam.** No advertising, chain messages, link bursts or flooding.
8. **No impersonation.** Don't pretend to be someone else, or a moderator.
9. **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.
