Community Guidelines

Void Deck is built for Singapore-focused public discussion and local information. These Community Guidelines apply to Deck posts, comments, replies, profile names, emoji avatars, profile photos, banners, reports, votes, saves, follows, blocks, and any other community interaction. They are part of our Terms of Service.

You are responsible for what you post, upload, report, share, imply, or encourage others to do. Void Deck may provide tools for discussion and moderation, but users remain responsible for their own conduct, legal compliance, and consequences.

1. Respect, Civility, and Public Conduct

• Disagree with ideas, decisions, policies, and behaviour without attacking people.
• Do not harass, bully, threaten, stalk, intimidate, shame, dogpile, or target another person or group.
• Do not use slurs, dehumanising language, degrading stereotypes, or repeated personal insults.
• Do not direct sexual remarks, unwanted sexual attention, humiliation, or degrading comments at another user.
• Do not encourage others to harass, mass-report, downvote, contact, identify, or punish someone.
• Do not use "jokes", sarcasm, coded language, images, emojis, usernames, or profile media to bypass these rules.

2. Hate, Race, Religion, Nationality, and Protected Groups

Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious society. Content that may inflame racial, religious, nationality-based, language-based, or protected-group hostility is treated seriously.

• Do not attack, demean, exclude, threaten, or incite hatred against people based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, caste, language, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, immigration status, or comparable protected characteristics.
• Do not use slurs, hateful symbols, extremist imagery, dehumanising comparisons, or claims that a protected group is inherently criminal, inferior, diseased, dangerous, or unwelcome.
• Do not post content intended to provoke racial or religious tension, including "bait", "ironic" hate, coded hate, or edited screenshots designed to inflame.
• Discussion of social issues, public policy, religion, migration, race, or identity is allowed only when it is lawful, good-faith, non-harassing, and not directed at attacking protected groups.

3. Illegal, Regulated, or High-Risk Content

You must comply with Singapore law and any law that applies to you. You must not post, upload, request, promote, facilitate, or encourage:

• Defamation, false statements of fact, malicious rumours, or claims that may unlawfully damage another person's reputation.
• Falsehoods or manipulated information relating to public institutions, elections, public health, emergencies, safety, or matters that may be subject to correction directions or legal process.
• Threats, criminal intimidation, harassment, stalking, doxxing, extortion, blackmail, fraud, scams, phishing, impersonation, or unlawful surveillance.
• Illegal drugs, illegal weapons, unlicensed gambling, money laundering, unauthorised financial promotions, counterfeit goods, hacking, malware, stolen credentials, or instructions for unlawful acts.
• Official secrets, confidential government information, leaked private records, court-restricted information, or information you are not authorised to disclose.
• Content that exploits, sexualises, endangers, identifies, or encourages harm to minors.
• Content that instructs or encourages people to evade law enforcement, platform enforcement, safety systems, or regulatory obligations.

4. Privacy, Doxxing, and Consent

• Do not share, request, infer, compile, or encourage others to find personal information about another person without lawful authority and consent.
• Do not post home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, identification numbers, workplace details, school details, private social media accounts, medical information, financial information, vehicle details, family details, or location patterns.
• Do not try to identify users behind display names or connect a Deck account to a real-world identity without consent.
• Do not upload images of other people, private spaces, private documents, minors, workplaces, schools, homes, vehicles, or sensitive locations unless you have the right and consent to do so.
• Do not post screenshots of private chats, private emails, closed groups, workplace systems, school systems, or confidential materials unless you have permission and the post is lawful.
• Blurring or partial redaction is not always enough. If a person can reasonably be identified, you are responsible for the risk.

5. Misinformation, Manipulated Media, and Public Safety

• Do not present false, fabricated, unverified, or manipulated claims as fact, especially about public health, dengue outbreaks, transport disruptions, crimes, emergencies, schools, public agencies, elections, legal matters, or public safety.
• Do not post edited images, AI-generated media, old screenshots, or out-of-context information in a way that misleads users.
• Label opinion as opinion. Do not invent sources, fake official statements, misquote people, or impersonate official communications.
• For time-sensitive matters such as weather, transit, dengue, lottery results, emergencies, or government announcements, users must verify with official sources before acting.

6. Spam, Manipulation, and Low-Quality Abuse

• Do not flood feeds, duplicate posts, repeatedly post the same point, hijack threads, or post content designed mainly to disrupt.
• Do not use multiple accounts, coordinated groups, scripts, bots, paid engagement, or manipulation to influence votes, comments, reports, followers, Deck Score, trending selection, or account tier.
• Do not post scams, referral spam, undisclosed advertising, commercial solicitation, affiliate links, job spam, giveaways, or promotional content without permission.
• Do not use engagement bait such as "boost this", "downvote this person", "report this user", or similar manipulation.
• Do not file false reports, mass reports, duplicate reports, retaliatory reports, or reports intended to silence lawful disagreement.

7. Sexual, Graphic, Self-Harm, and Sensitive Content

• Do not post nudity, pornography, sexual services, sexual solicitation, sexually explicit text, or sexualised images.
• Do not post graphic violence, gore, severe injury, cruelty, corpse imagery, shock content, or content designed to disturb users.
• Do not promote, instruct, glorify, or encourage self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or dangerous behaviour.
• Do not post sexual, exploitative, grooming, abusive, or endangering content involving minors. We may report such content or associated accounts to appropriate authorities.
• Some sensitive discussion may be allowed when clearly educational, newsworthy, or support-oriented, but it must be lawful, non-graphic, non-exploitative, and appropriately framed.

8. Profile Names, Avatars, Photos, and Banners

• Display names, emoji avatars, profile photos, and banners must follow the same rules as posts and comments.
• Do not impersonate real people, public officials, agencies, brands, moderators, Void Deck staff, emergency services, or organisations.
• Do not use profile media containing nudity, sexual content, graphic violence, hateful symbols, extremist imagery, private people, minors, confidential material, copyrighted images, logos, celebrity photos, or images you do not have permission to use.
• Premium profile photos and banners are still subject to moderation, automated review, upload limits, file limits, and removal.
• Void Deck may reject, reset, remove, hide, or replace profile names or media at any time where we reasonably believe they violate rules, create risk, infringe rights, mislead users, or harm the Service.

9. Categories, Flairs, and Topic Responsibility

Deck categories such as Hobbies, Sports, Politics, Makan, and General help users navigate discussions. You are responsible for selecting a suitable category and flair. Misusing categories, repeatedly posting off-topic content, using political or public-safety topics to inflame users, or disguising prohibited content inside a harmless category may result in moderation action.

10. Blocking, Private Profiles, and Boundaries

• Respect blocks. Do not create another account, use another user, or move to another thread to bypass a block.
• Private profile settings may hide profile history, followers, and following from visitors, but your posts and comments may still appear in public Deck discussions.
• Do not harass someone because they blocked, unfollowed, reported, downvoted, disagreed with, or ignored you.
• Do not use follows, unfollows, profile views, or interactions to intimidate, monitor, or pressure another user.

11. Respect the Platform

• Do not bypass bans, restrictions, phone verification, account limits, posting limits, cooldowns, Premium checks, report limits, upload limits, or moderation systems.
• Do not scrape, crawl, reverse engineer, overload, probe, attack, interfere with, or attempt to access non-public APIs, admin systems, storage objects, tokens, logs, or infrastructure.
• Do not exploit bugs, data leaks, race conditions, moderation gaps, or security issues. Report security concerns to info@voiddeckapp.com.
• Do not upload malware, tracking pixels, harmful files, deceptive links, or content intended to compromise users or systems.

12. Reporting and Review

• Use the report feature for suspected rule violations. Reports may be rate-limited and reviewed using automated tools, AI-assisted analysis, human review, or a combination of signals.
• Report reasons include spam, harassment, hate speech, misinformation, inappropriate content, and other concerns. Include accurate details when helpful.
• Do not report content simply because you disagree with it, dislike the user, want revenge, want to win an argument, or want to manipulate moderation.
• Retaliation against someone who reported you or whom you suspect reported you is a separate violation.
• We may dismiss reports, action reports, queue reports for review, notify users of outcomes, preserve report records, or limit abusive reporters at our discretion.

13. Enforcement & Consequences

Enforcement is discretionary and context-dependent. We may consider the content, user history, severity, intent, risk, legal exposure, report quality, prior warnings, account state, and operational impact.

We are not required to apply these steps in order. Serious threats, harm to minors, doxxing, credible safety risks, unlawful content, malicious platform abuse, repeated violations, or bad-faith conduct may result in immediate restriction, suspension, ban, preservation, or disclosure without prior warning.

14. Warning Reviews and Appeals

The app may provide limited ways to contest certain warnings or contact support about moderation decisions. Availability of review tools may depend on account state, warning status, timing, system availability, and our operational judgment.

• Submitting a review request does not guarantee reversal, reinstatement, compensation, restored score, restored tier, restored content, or a particular response time.
• You must provide truthful, relevant, and concise information. Abusive, threatening, repetitive, or bad-faith appeals may be ignored or may lead to further action.
• Some decisions may be final where required for safety, legal, security, operational, or abuse-prevention reasons.
• You may contact info@voiddeckapp.com for support. Include your display name, relevant case information if available, and a clear explanation.

15. Cooperation with Authorities

• We may comply with lawful requests, court orders, regulatory requirements, and valid legal process.
• We may preserve, use, or disclose information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to address criminal activity, credible threats, public safety risks, national security concerns, harm to minors, harassment, fraud, or misuse of the Service.
• We may report certain content or accounts proactively where permitted or required by law.
• Users are responsible for their own unlawful content and conduct. Void Deck's moderation or non-moderation of content does not make Void Deck the speaker, publisher, endorser, or guarantor of user content.
