We don’t care about what you publish, livestream, comment, or include in channel descriptions for the most part. However, we do **not** allow the following:

  • Sincere encouragement of others to go to a particular place to commit/perform violence, or to target groups or individuals with violence
  • Promotion of recruitment into terrorist and/or criminal groups
  • Sincere promotion of terrorist and/or criminal groups
  • Sincere promotion of terrorism and/or criminal activity

Comment Section Rules

• — Don’t use multiple channels or accounts to **pretend to be different people** in the same comment section or live chat.
• — Don’t create multiple channels to **circumvent channel restrictions**.
• — Don’t be overly **nasty** to creators and other users. It reflects poorly on the Zocialized community and turns new people away.
• — Don’t **spam**. Examples include: self-promotion, external links, word spam, sticker spam, and comment spamming.

Breaching Community Guidelines

Just don’t be a jerk, guy. Did you ever consider that maybe you’re the bad guy(s)? Please don’t break our community guidelines - not only do your actions on Zocialized reflect poorly on the community, it also makes Zocialized look bad.

If you do break any of the community guidelines, we reserve the right to do any or more of the following:

• — For breaching community trust: We will request for immediate removal. We will move forward with removal in circumstances where the creator or user is unable to.
• — In circumstances where there are repeated breaches of our community guidelines, we may pursue stricter action(s). For example:
  • Filtering of your channel from Zocialized.
  • Restricting your ability to comment, either temporarily or permanently.

Redemption

Because we don’t believe in eternal damnation: If you regain community trust and demonstrate willingness to follow our community guidelines, we may lift restrictions applied to your account/channel.

What if we get a decision wrong?

It could happen, and in that case you’re welcome to submit feedback to us at cg@zocialized.net.
