Kirkify Community Guidelines: Practical Rules for a Healthy Community
Kirkify Community Guidelines: Practical Rules for a Healthy Community
What These Guidelines Are For
These guidelines are designed to keep publishing and participation safe, fair, and predictable for everyone using Kirkify.
They are not theoretical values language. They are operational rules for what is allowed, what is not allowed, and how moderation decisions are made.
Be Respectful
Treat other people with respect. This sounds obvious, but it's worth saying explicitly. Don't use Kirkify to create content that demeans, harasses, or bullies other people. Don't create content that discriminates based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. Don't create content that spreads hate or violence. These aren't just rules—they're about building a community where everyone feels safe and welcome.
If you see someone being disrespectful, don't engage in conflict. Report it to us instead. We take harassment seriously and will investigate reports and take appropriate action.
Be Honest
Be honest about what you're creating. If you're using kirkified images for marketing, be transparent about it. If you're using AI-generated content, label it as such. Don't use Kirkify to create deceptive content. Don't create fake news. Don't create deepfakes designed to mislead people. Don't impersonate other people.
Honesty builds trust, and trust is what makes communities strong. When people know they can rely on the integrity of what they're seeing, they're more likely to engage authentically.
Respect Privacy
Respect other people's privacy. Don't share images of other people without their permission. Don't share sensitive personal information. Don't create content that violates someone's privacy. If you're creating kirkified content featuring other people, get their permission first. Show them the result before you share it. Respect their decision if they say no.
This is about basic human dignity. People have the right to control how their image is used and shared.
Follow the Law
Use Kirkify in ways that are legal. Don't use it to create content that violates copyright. Don't use it to create content that violates trademark. Don't use it to create content that violates anyone's rights. If you're not sure whether something is legal, ask. We're happy to help clarify.
Keep It Clean
Don't create sexual or exploitative content. Don't create content involving minors in inappropriate ways. Don't create content that sexualizes people without consent. Don't create content that promotes illegal activities. Don't create content that promotes violence or self-harm.
These boundaries exist to protect everyone in our community.
Give Credit
If you're inspired by someone else's work, give them credit. If you're using someone else's photo, get their permission and credit them. Creativity is collaborative. We all build on each other's work. Giving credit is a way of showing respect for that collaboration and acknowledging the people who inspire us.
Report Problems
If you see content that violates these guidelines, report it. We take reports seriously. We investigate and take action when necessary. If you're being harassed or if your rights are being violated, report it. We're here to help and committed to maintaining a safe community.
Engage Positively
Share your work. Give feedback to other creators. Celebrate each other's creativity. Build each other up. The Kirkify community is strongest when we're all supporting each other, creating together, and celebrating what we make. Positive engagement creates a virtuous cycle where everyone feels motivated to contribute their best work.
Consequences
If you violate these guidelines, we may take action. This could include removing your content, suspending your account, or banning you from the platform. We don't take these actions lightly, but we do take them when necessary to protect the community and ensure it remains a welcoming space for everyone.
Enforcement Principles
Moderation decisions follow three principles:
- Consistency: similar violations receive similar actions.
- Proportionality: action severity should match harm severity.
- Transparency: users should receive a clear reason and next step.
Questions?
If you have questions about these guidelines, contact us. We're happy to clarify. If you have suggestions for how we can improve the community, we'd love to hear them. Your feedback helps us build a better community for everyone.
