Community Guidelines

SAYONS exists to encourage open, honest and respectful discussion.

Different opinions are welcome. Disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks, harassment and harmful content are not.

These Community Guidelines apply to discussions, comments, replies, polls, profiles and other user-generated content on SAYONS.

1. Be Respectful

You may disagree with someone’s opinion.

You should not attack, insult, threaten or humiliate another person because of their views.

Challenge the idea, not the person.

• Religion
• Race or ethnicity
• Nationality
• Gender
• Sexual orientation

SAYONS welcomes discussion about difficult social and political issues, but discussion must remain respectful.

Content that threatens violence or encourages violence, harm or illegal activity may be removed.

However:

• Respect other people’s views
• Do not threaten or harass political opponents
• Do not deliberately spread false information

• Do not use the platform to encourage violence

Political discussion should focus on ideas, policies, events and evidence, not personal abuse.

Users should not attempt to manipulate poll results through fake accounts, bots or coordinated fraudulent activity.

11. Report Content

If you believe a discussion, comment or account violates these guidelines, please use the available Report feature or contact SAYONS.

Depending on the circumstances, actions may include:

• Limiting visibility
• Removing comments
• Restricting an account

14. These Guidelines May Change

As SAYONS grows, these guidelines may be updated to address new types of abuse, features or community needs.

The latest version will be published on this page.
