Moderation Policy

1. Unacceptable Content and Behaviours

We’re all about freedom of speech but there are some things the Fluttr team will not tolerate.
Two of our core values are INCLUSION and HONESTY, add KINDNESS into the mix and that’s pretty much the filter system the Mod Team uses to review what members post. Here is a list of absolute no-nos for us:

• Sexually explicit material
• Racism
• Extreme political views and rhetoric
• Extreme religious views
• Homophobia, transphobia (prejudice against specific groups such as, transsexual or transgender people)
• Self-harm or suicide
• Incitement of violence or violent acts
• Animal cruelty
• Child abuse, cruelty or exploitation
• Promotion of illegal activities
• Photos or videos of violent acts or scenes
• Advertising or promotion of content, goods or services outside of the Fluttr ecosystem
• Abusive or inappropriate language when creating a post or replying to someone’s post -by inappropriate language (by this we mean any sexist, racist, stereotypical, aggressive, abusive or culturally insensitive language).
• Taking screenshots of images without permission
• Images that have been altered to degrade private individuals
• Photos or videos of physical bullying posted to shame the victim
• Sharing personal information to blackmail or harass people
• Repeatedly targeting other people with unwanted match requests or messages
• Posting any photos of a pornographic, exhibitionist, or indecent nature
• Any use of the Fluttr app in an illegal, dishonest, malicious and/or discriminatory manner
• Discrimination against disability or disease (we consider a disability to be an impairment of any kind, mental or physical, that makes it harder to take part in certain activities or interact with the world around you)
• Any form of body shaming
• Nude or pornographic images that contravene our policies
• Posting links to malware, viruses or any compromising malicious software
• Posting overly-specific personal information on your public profile i.e. your home address, mobile/home phone numbers. Feel free to share these with a match privately if you are comfortable with doing so.
• Posting deliberate, potentially harmful disinformation.
• Manipulating other people, particularly those who may be vulnerable i.e. encouraging someone to harm themselves or commit suicide.

We know things can get said as a joke but remember, they may not be even remotely funny to other people. In fact, they can be insulting, up-setting and seriously emotionally damaging.
‘Think before you speak’ is a good motto here. At Fluttr we try to remember to put ourselves in other people’s shoes.
Another tip to remember is that it’s not always easy to get a meaning across in a quick message and things can easily get misconstrued.
And if you use inappropriate language with serious intent to upset someone this will be dealt with accordingly.

** This list is not exhaustive and can be added to or amended at any time**
