1. Respect Every Member
Treat every person on the platform with dignity and respect. Disagreements are natural, but personal attacks, insults, and demeaning language are not acceptable. Engage with ideas, not identities.
2. Trust-First Behaviour
Barakah Union is built on trust. Honour your commitments, be transparent about your intentions, and follow through on what you promise. Your trust score reflects real behaviour, and the community depends on each member acting with integrity.
3. No Spam or Manipulation
Do not post repetitive, irrelevant, or promotional content. Do not create multiple accounts to manipulate trust scores, pool mechanics, or community dynamics. Automated or bulk messaging is prohibited.
4. No Harassment or Intimidation
Harassment, bullying, threats, stalking, or intimidation of any kind will result in immediate action. This includes unwanted contact, sharing private information without consent, and targeting individuals based on identity, background, or beliefs.
5. Accountability Matters
If you join a money pool, commit to a schedule, or take on a role in a group, follow through. If circumstances change, communicate openly. The governance and dispute systems exist to resolve issues fairly, but they work best when members act responsibly from the start.
6. Protect Privacy
Respect the privacy of other members. Do not share private messages, contribution details, or personal information outside the platform without explicit consent. What happens in a private group stays in that group.
7. Report and Resolve
If you encounter behaviour that violates these guidelines, use the dispute and governance tools available on the platform. Our moderation team reviews all reports and takes appropriate action. False or malicious reports are themselves a violation of these guidelines.
8. Consequences
Violations may result in warnings, temporary suspension, trust score adjustments, or permanent account removal, depending on severity. Repeated violations will be treated more seriously. All moderation actions are recorded in the governance system for transparency.
