Community Guidelines

Last updated: September 2021

Introduction

We want everybody to have a brilliant experience and stay safe when using Levellr so we have developed these Community Guidelines to explain what is and what is not acceptable and allowed on Levellr. We know that the vast majority use Levellr responsibly so these guidelines might seem quite obvious to you but we want to be clear about how we expect all users to behave when using Levellr.

We will not allow and may remove content promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on these attributes.
  2. Harassment and content that threatens individuals is not allowed on Levellr. Do not organise, participate in, or encourage harassment of others. Of course, disagreements may occur and that is to be expected, but continuous, repetitive, or severe negative comments may cross the line into harassment. Do not post content that targets an individual with prolonged name calling or malicious insults based on intrinsic attributes such as those listed in section 1 (above), physical traits, status as a survivor of sexual assault, domestic abuse, child abuse and more.
