Safety and belonging Guidelines

Hate: You may not use SPILL to spread, promote or incite hatred based on identity, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, health status, weight, socioeconomic status, or any other protected characteristic. We will not tolerate any form of harassment, discrimination, supremacy, or dehumanization targeting individuals or groups on the basis of their identity -- this includes deadnaming and misgendering.

• We do not allow information endorsing or promoting conversion therapy, which hatefully suggests that a person's gender expression, sexual orientation, or gender identity need to align with heterosexual and cisgender norms.

Violence and Extremism: The promotion or glorification of violence is strictly prohibited on SPILL. Any content that includes threats or wishes of physical harm (both explicit and implied), promotes violence against individuals or groups, glorifies violent acts or actors, or features graphic or gratuitous violence will be removed. SPILL does not tolerate the dissemination or endorsement of extremist or supremacist ideologies, or the promotion of groups or organizations that promote violence, terrorism, or harm to others. Content that supports or glorifies terrorism, hate groups, or extremist activities will be promptly removed. We may consider off-platform evidence of violent or extremist conduct as part of our enforcement of this rule.

Harassment: Criticism and holding people accountable for their actions is an essential part of how communities operate, but you can’t cross the line into abusive behavior. You may not use SPILL to organize, incite, or engage in repeated abusive conduct targeting a specific person or group of people. Harassment or bullying in any form, including personal attacks, dehumanizing insults, malicious targeting, intimidation, personalized threatening language, and intentional humiliation that may cause harm to others is prohibited.

Unwanted/Uncivil Behavior and Personal Attacks: We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the SPILL without having to endure unwanted behavior or repeated personal attacks, nor do we intend for the platform to be a welcome playground for trolls who get their kicks from wantonly insulting or creating an inhospitable environment for members of the community. We reserve the right to remove any content or accounts that demonstrate this behavior entirely at our discretion. The SPILL team also welcomes constructive feedback from members with the interest of making the platform an exceptional place for all. That said, when the feedback crosses the line of uncivil behavior into personal attacks, it will also be subject to content and/or account removal and bans. We’re not here for it.

Encouraging self-harm: We’re committed to user safety and well-being. Any content that promotes or encourages self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or other conduct that could jeopardize someone’s safety or well-being will be swiftly removed. We take these matters seriously and will provide resources and support to individuals in need.
