Community Guidelines

The Basics

• Be respectful. You don't have to agree with everyone, but treat others the way you'd want to be treated.
• Be authentic. Don't impersonate others or misrepresent yourself.
• Follow the rules. Each community may have additional rules set by their moderators. Respect them.
• Use the report button. See something that breaks the rules? Report it instead of engaging.

NSFW Content

Adult content is allowed on OddsRabbit under specific conditions:

• Must be posted in communities marked as NSFW
• Must not appear in titles, community names, or profile pictures visible to all users
• Must comply with our NSFW Policy in the Terms of Service
• Must never involve minors in any way
• Must have proper consent from all individuals depicted

Users must be 18+ and explicitly opt-in via our web platform to view NSFW content. This setting is not available in mobile apps.

Community-Specific Rules

Individual communities may have additional rules beyond these platform-wide guidelines:

• Check the community's rules before posting (usually found in the sidebar or About section)
• Community moderators can set rules that are stricter than platform guidelines
• Community rules cannot permit content that violates these platform guidelines
• If you disagree with a community's rules, find or create a different community

Voting and Engagement

Voting is how the community surfaces quality content. Keep it fair:

• Vote on content, not people. Upvote content that contributes to the discussion, even if you disagree.
• Don't manipulate votes. Using multiple accounts, bots, or coordinating with others to manipulate votes is prohibited.
• Don't ask for votes. Requesting upvotes or organizing voting campaigns is not allowed.
• Downvotes aren't for disagreement. Downvote content that doesn't contribute, not opinions you disagree with.

Usernames and Profiles

• Usernames cannot impersonate real people, brands, or suggest official affiliation
• Usernames containing slurs, hate speech, or explicit sexual content are not allowed
• Profile pictures and banners must follow the same content rules as posts
• Bios cannot contain prohibited content or links to harmful material

Messaging

Direct messages and group chats are subject to these guidelines:

• Don't send unsolicited spam, promotions, or repeated unwanted messages
• Harassment via DM is treated the same as public harassment
• Don't use messages to circumvent blocks or bans
• Report harassment - we can review reported messages

Reporting Content

Help keep OddsRabbit safe by reporting content that breaks the rules:

How to Report

• Use the Report button on any post, comment, message, or profile
• Select the most appropriate reason for your report
• Add details if helpful (but not required)

What Happens Next

• Community moderators review reports for community rule violations
• OddsRabbit staff review reports for platform guideline violations
• We aim to review reports within 24 hours
• You won't receive individual updates, but we take every report seriously

False Reports

Don't abuse the report system. Repeatedly filing false or malicious reports may result in restrictions on your account.

Enforcement

When you break the rules, consequences depend on the severity and your history:

Possible Actions

• Content removal: The specific content is removed
• Warning: A notice that you've violated guidelines
• Temporary suspension: Your account is restricted for a period of time
• Permanent ban: Your account is terminated
• Legal referral: For illegal content, we may report to law enforcement

Factors We Consider

• Severity of the violation
• Whether it's a first offense or repeat behavior
• Intent (accidental vs. deliberate)
• Impact on others

Appeals

If you believe an action was taken in error, you can appeal by contacting [email protected]. Note that some violations (like CSAM) result in permanent bans with no appeal.

Being a Good Community Member

Beyond just following the rules, here's how to make OddsRabbit great:

• Contribute quality content. Share things that spark discussion or provide value.
• Engage thoughtfully. Read before commenting. Add to the conversation.
• Welcome newcomers. Everyone was new once. Be patient and helpful.
• Give feedback constructively. Criticism is fine; cruelty isn't.
• Support your communities. Participate, help moderate, or consider supporting creators.

For Moderators

Community moderators help enforce both platform guidelines and community-specific rules:

• You're empowered to remove content and ban users from your community
• You cannot permit content that violates platform guidelines
• Escalate serious violations (illegal content, CSAM, threats) to OddsRabbit staff
• Treat your community members fairly and consistently
• If you monetize your community, see our Creator Guidelines
