Community Guidelines

Updated January 4, 2026

We're creating a welcoming space for Campus and Circle communities. These Community Guidelines ("Guidelines") ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable participating. Our community is built on respect, authenticity, inclusivity, and safety—treating everyone kindly and considerately, being genuine and honest, welcoming diverse viewpoints, and protecting yourself and others from harm. In some cases, we might not take action against content that's newsworthy and important to the community.

Harassment & Bullying

We have zero tolerance for bullying or harassment. Constructive criticism is fine, but don't intentionally hurt someone's feelings or make them uncomfortable. Never share personal or contact information without consent.

Hate Speech & Discrimination

Don't post content that targets individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics. Avoid hate symbols and targeted conspiracy theories.

Threats, Violence & Harm

Never threaten or incite violence or harm against any person or group. While xaround may contain user-generated content depicting real-world events, gratuitous violence shared purely for shock value is prohibited. Content promoting self-harm, suicide, or dangerous activities is strictly forbidden. When sharing potentially distressing content, always apply appropriate content warnings.

False Information & Impersonation

Don't deliberately spread misinformation that can cause harm. Impersonating other people or organizations, or presenting manipulated media as genuine, is not allowed.

Illegal Activities

Don't use the platform to promote or engage in illegal activities, such as buying or selling illegal substances, counterfeit goods, gambling (including online casinos, sports betting, bingo, or poker), or weapons. Hacking, malware distribution, and academic dishonesty are strictly forbidden.

Spam & Deceptive Practices

Avoid repetitive, irrelevant content, fake engagement (likes, follows), unauthorized advertising, and phishing or scam attempts.

Anonymous Posting

Anonymous posting is meant to encourage openness—not to excuse harmful behavior. All Guidelines still apply. If you post or reply (even anonymously) in a community where you hold a "Verified Student" or "Verified Alumni" Campus community role, that badge will appear in your post or reply—while your actual user ID remains hidden, even from people with access to xaround's database. This works because role verification happens at runtime on our cloud servers, without logging your user ID to the database.

Content Warnings

Apply "Sensitive" or "Spoiler" content warning for potentially distressing or controversial content, spoilers, or medical imagery.

Hashtags

Use relevant hashtags responsibly and avoid spamming or misleading tags. Offensive hashtags are prohibited.

Reporting & Enforcement

If you see something inappropriate, use the in-app reporting feature:

  • Tap the ··· menu on a post or reply.
  • Select "Report" action.
  • Choose the appropriate report category and write descriptions if needed.

We carefully review all reports. Violations may result in content removal, temporary account restrictions, or permanent bans. Serious violations may involve notifying law enforcement.

Blocking Users

In addition to reporting, you can block users to control your experience on xaround:

  • Their posts won't appear in your feed.
  • Their replies will be grouped as "hidden replies" in threads you view.
  • You won't receive notifications from them (likes, replies, mentions).
  • They won't be able to follow you.
  • Any existing follows between you will be removed.
  • They won't be notified that they've been blocked.
  • You can still view their profile, and they can still view yours.
  • They can still reply to posts (including yours) since xaround supports anonymous posting.

Blocking is a personal safety tool. For serious violations, please also use the Report feature so our moderation team can take appropriate action.

Changes to These Guidelines

These Guidelines may be updated periodically. Please check this page regularly to stay informed of any changes. By using xaround, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Guidelines, the User Agreement, and the Privacy Policy.
