Community Standards Policy

Hive Mind Speaks is a platform for thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive discussion. To protect this community, we have established clear standards for interaction on our social media channels.

We do not allow any form of the following:

X Hate Speech
This includes language or content that attacks or demeans a person or group based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, disability, or any other characteristic associated with systemic discrimination or marginalisation.

X Harassment
This includes threats, personal attacks, targeted bullying, stalking, intimidation, doxxing (sharing private information), or repeated unwanted contact.

X Promotion
We do not allow promotion of services, products, websites, or political organisations/campaigns that are not directly related to the purpose and values of this community. This includes spam, self-promotion, or attempts to advertise or recruit.

To protect the integrity of our space, we moderate interactions as follows:

1. If a comment or message violates these standards, it will be hidden and/or deleted. We will also notify the social media platform and/or the authorities if we suspect the content breaks further policies or laws.
   
    
2. The individual responsible will receive a warning outlining the reason for the removal.
   
    
3. If a second violation occurs from the same individual, they will be blocked from participating further in our community.
   
    

These steps are taken to ensure a safe, respectful and constructive environment for all.

Thank you for helping us uphold these values.
