Community Guidelines

The short version

• Share work you have the right to share.
• Do not exploit, threaten, harass, deceive, or expose other people.
• Do not manipulate engagement or use Vistafolk for spam.
• Report harmful material; do not amplify it.

Not allowed

• Child sexual exploitation or endangerment. Never post, request, sexualise, or facilitate abuse of a minor. We report apparent child sexual abuse material where required.
• Sexual exploitation and non-consensual intimate content. This includes threats, solicitation, trafficking, and intimate imagery shared without permission.
• Violence and dangerous conduct. No credible threats, glorification of violent organisations, graphic gore intended to shock, or instructions that create an imminent risk of serious harm.
• Hate and harassment. No attacks based on protected characteristics, targeted abuse, stalking, sexual harassment, or coordinated dogpiling.
• Privacy abuse. Do not expose private contact, identity, location, financial, medical, or account information without permission.
• Deception and manipulation. No impersonation, scams, fabricated provenance, bot activity, bought engagement, spam, or attempts to evade moderation.
• Illegal or regulated activity. Do not use Vistafolk to sell illegal goods, facilitate crime, or conduct regulated transactions that Vistafolk has not expressly enabled.
• Intellectual-property infringement. Post original work or material you are authorised to use. Give credit where a licence requires it.

Review and enforcement

New posts and comments may wait for safety review before other members can see them. Depending on context, history, severity, and legal obligations, we may reject or remove content, limit features, warn an account, suspend it, ban it, preserve evidence, or notify relevant authorities. We may act immediately where safety requires it.

Moderation is contextual and mistakes are possible. Eligible decisions appear in the app with a reason and an appeal option. Appeals should explain what we missed; a different reviewer may reassess the decision.

Reporting and blocking

Open a post or comment menu and choose Report to send it privately to the safety queue. UseBlock to stop the two accounts from interacting and remove each other’s content from relevant views. Reports are not shown to the reported member. For urgent danger, contact local emergency services first, then email contact@vistafolk.com.

Copyright concerns

Send a detailed notice to contact@vistafolk.com with your contact details, identification of the protected work, the Vistafolk content or account at issue, why the use is not authorised, and a statement that your notice is accurate. We may request evidence and forward relevant details to the member who posted the content.
