Community Guidelines

infoOverview

                Short version: Be real, be respectful, and do not harm others. SeaFace is built for genuine connection. These guidelines exist to protect that purpose.
            

These Community Guidelines apply to all content and behaviour on the SeaFace platform, including posts, voice comments, voice messages, live rooms, profile information, and direct messages. By using SeaFace, you agree to follow these guidelines alongside our Terms of Service.

We review and update these guidelines regularly. When we make significant changes, we notify registered users by email and post an announcement on the platform.

These guidelines apply globally. Some regions have additional local requirements that may affect how we enforce rules in your area.

favoriteOur Community Values

SeaFace is built on four principles. Everything in these guidelines exists to protect them:

check_circleSafety: Every person on SeaFace should be able to express themselves without fear of harassment, threats, or harm.
check_circleAuthenticity: SeaFace works best when people are genuine. Fake accounts, impersonation, and manufactured engagement undermine trust for everyone.
check_circleRespect: Disagreement is welcome. Abuse is not. You can challenge ideas forcefully without attacking people.
check_circlePrivacy: Everyone has the right to control their own information and image. Sharing private information about others without their consent is never acceptable.

gavelHow We Enforce

We use a combination of automated tools and human review to enforce these guidelines. Here is how enforcement generally works:

warningWarning

For first-time or minor violations, we may issue a warning explaining what was removed and why, with no other account action.

deleteContent Removal

Content that violates our guidelines is removed. You will be notified of the removal and the reason behind it.

pause_circleTemporary Suspension

Repeated violations or serious single violations may result in a temporary account suspension ranging from 24 hours to 30 days.

blockPermanent Ban

Severe violations, including content that exploits minors or repeated serious violations, result in permanent account termination.

Permanent bans without warning apply to: child sexual exploitation content, credible threats of violence, coordinated terrorism, and repeated severe violations after prior suspensions.

All enforcement decisions are reviewed by trained safety staff, not automated systems alone. We aim to apply rules consistently and fairly.
