🛡️ CrowdBlue Community Guidelines

Welcome to CrowdBlue — a platform built to protect democracy, elevate truth, and empower people to take action. Before participating, please read and agree to the following community rules.

🌟 Our Mission

CrowdBlue exists to empower people to act in defense of democracy — through campaigns, community, and collaboration. By participating here, you’re joining a growing movement of Americans committed to liberty, justice, and truth.

Let’s keep it strong. Let’s keep it safe. Let’s build the future together.

These guidelines help ensure this space remains safe, inclusive, and rooted in the values we share.

1. No hate speech or bigotry.

CrowdBlue is a space for everyone who shares a commitment to democratic values. We do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, or any other form of hate or dehumanization.

2. No threats, harassment, or incitement to violence.

Do not post or promote threats, harassment, or encourage illegal or violent behavior. Violators may be suspended or banned without warning.

3. Defend truth.

CrowdBlue is committed to defending democracy and combating disinformation. Do not spread false or misleading claims, especially about elections, candidates, or civic processes. We will moderate content that contradicts verified facts or promotes conspiracy theories.

4. Respect personal privacy.

Do not share private information — including real names, addresses, images, or identifying details — without consent. Use an alias if you prefer and respect the anonymity of others.

5. No spamming, self-promotion, or solicitation.

Do not flood discussions, promote outside projects for personal gain, or post commercial content without approval. Grassroots and campaign-related promotions must align with the values of CrowdBlue and be pre-approved.

6. Keep it on topic and constructive.

We’re here to build a better future. Stay focused on ideas, actions, and solutions. Disagreements are natural — but debate must remain respectful and in good faith. Disruption and trolling won’t be tolerated.

7. Respect moderators.

Our moderators are here to protect the space and its mission. If you’re asked to stop a behavior or move a discussion elsewhere, please do so immediately.

8. Follow the law and our Terms of Service.

CrowdBlue operates under U.S. law and adheres to platform-wide standards. Illegal activity, election interference, or violation of our terms will result in removal.

The Fine Print:

At CrowdBlue, we believe everyone should be able to participate in democracy and share their views without fear of abuse, harassment, or intimidation. To protect this freedom, we’ve outlined the following Community Guidelines, which define acceptable use and conduct across the CrowdBlue Platform.

By using CrowdBlue, you agree to these guidelines, our Privacy Policy, and our User Agreement. These collectively govern your access to and use of the Platform. Violations may result in enforcement actions, including account restrictions, suspension, or legal action.

1. Platform Governance and Enforcement

CrowdBlue reserves the right to enforce these guidelines through actions such as: - Suspending, limiting, or closing your account; - Notifying your financial institutions, other users, or law enforcement; - Correcting inaccurate information you’ve provided; - Denying you future access to the platform; - Pursuing legal remedies in severe cases.

Creating new accounts to evade a suspension is prohibited and will result in permanent bans.

Freedom of expression only works when all users feel safe to speak. CrowdBlue prohibits content or behavior that harasses, intimidates, or threatens others.

We consider the following when assessing reports: - Whether behavior is targeted at individuals or groups; - Whether the report comes from a target or bystander; - Whether the content is newsworthy or in the public interest.
