2. Expected behaviors

We expect all users to treat other users with respect and consideration.

Assume good intent. Our members are a diverse group, and many write in their second or third language.

NSFW content is allowed across most of the website, however we expect all members who post NSFW content to label it correctly.

3. Prohibited behaviors

Please keep all comments and discussion respectful and courteous. We may remove or report posts, comments, or links that we consider:

• Discriminatory, potentially defamatory, false, or misleading, racist, off-topic, inflammatory, repetitive, offensive or otherwise inappropriate
• Transphobic, or supportive of those who are knowingly transphobic
• Disrespectful toward another person
• To make another person feel unsafe
• Repetitive spam
• Campaigning for a product, service, cause or initiative (except promoting LGBT+ rights)
• Infringement of the privacy, intellectual property or legal rights of others
• Any other material we consider to be inappropriate.

Any commercial content or advertisements must be made through our advert system, or other pre-authorised channels. 

The pup community is full of fantastically talented people, and we feel that AI is stealing from them. Therefore all generative AI usage is banned.

We retain the right to block a user whose posts or comments include any of the above.

Please note that as Puppy Pride is a UK based CIC, all content must comply with UK laws.

4. Privacy and personal information

Be very careful with sharing your personal information on the platform including; email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses. Both in public posts, and in private messages.

It is strictly prohibited to share the personal information of someone else without their explicit permission!

If you’re sharing photos, please make sure that any personal information is blurred, even if it’s in the background.

5. Accounts and Security

You are responsible for your own account security. Do NOT share your password or log in details under any circumstances.

One account per person, do not share them

Company accounts are allowed, however we expect one person to have personal responsibility for it, and for all content posted with it.

6. Moderation policies

We aim to judge everyone fairly, and apply the benefit of the doubt in most situations. 

For mild infractions, we might just delete any offending content with a message of warning.

For bigger, or repeat infractions, accounts might be suspended for time periods, with a reason why.

For major infractions, or anything illegal, accounts may be banned without warning.

Police may be informed of any breaches of UK law, included by not limited to our Child Safety Standards.

If you believe that content has been removed in error please reply to the moderation email within 14 days to appeal.

7. Reporting mechanisms

If you see any material on the website that you believe is in breach of these policies we have an inbuilt reporting system in place.  On all pages with user generated content you’ll find “...”, usually on the top right.  

Once you click this you should find a button that says “Report”. Clicking this will bring up a form to allow you to pick a reason for reporting, as well as a text box for you to provide any reasoning, if needed.

While we can’t guarantee providing any feedback on reports, we will try to deal with them all as quickly as possible.
