Our system uses a cumulative warning policy based on the severity of the violation:

We reserve the right to immediately and permanently ban any account, without prior warnings, for extreme violations, including:

  • Hate speech, harassment, or direct threats.
  • Pornographic or sexually explicit content.
  • Promotion of illegal activities or severe fraud.

Reviewing your content

If you receive a warning, please review all your public content immediately to ensure it meets our professional standards. Banned accounts cannot be recovered except in cases of proven false positives.
