Abuse

SETIworld users are from all over the world and have different backgrounds in languages, religions, cultures, etc. There are often times that users might disagree with each other — which can be good for stimulating creativity or representing the diversity of the community! However, if the wording or images in the posted messages are used for attacking other parties, that breaks our community guidelines. Examples of this could be related to:

Violence:

Users are not allowed to show any intention to threaten a particular user or a group of users. This includes (but is not limited to) threatening to hurt, kill or sexually assault someone else, or encouraging others to perform the above actions with rewards in return — all of the above are prohibited. This also includes hoping or wishing others to be harmed in any way.

Insults:

No one in the SETIworld community should be insulted because of holding different opinions, or in fact, for any reason. Users should not post any insulting language or images on our platform to target one or a group of users.

Harassment:

Any form of harassment, including (but not limited to) harassment based on sex, race, gender identification, age, occupation, religion, national origins, disablity, marital status or political beliefs is prohibited. Any unwanted sexual advances, adult media, sexual discussion or solicitation of sexual acts are also considered to be a form of harassment which is not allowed on the SETIworld platform.

Vulgarity:

Our system stops you from posting inappropriate language or images; however, any form of vulgar wording will not be allowed.

Promotional Messages

Please do not directly post messages regarding discounts or sales on our platform. SETIworld reserves the right to review or delete any promotional posts which we think could be inappropriate to our community users.

Spams

We hope everyone on our platform will have a comfortable space to view different ideas or find insights; please do not repeatedly post similar messages on one board or on multiple boards.

Scams

Any fraudulent acts or messages are not allowed on the SETIworld platform. If any user posts messages or images which indicate potentially fraudulent activities, SETIworld has the right to delete the message or ban the usage of our community features for whoever posted the messages.

Illegal

Any illegal activities should not be conducted on the SETIworld platform. No users should post information about selling or buying any illegal goods or services, or reveal any unlawful actions.

Bots

No users should try to use automated services to post spam messages or images, or to try to repeatedly attack our system with the intent of crashing the service.

Plagiarism

We love to see users sharing information. If any user wants to share opinions or articles that were written by other parties or authors, please make sure you state clearly where the sources came from. Please do not directly copy and paste other people’s intellectual property on our platform without proper citations.

Personal Information

It’s important to protect everyone’s personal information including yours! If you accidentally or purposely post your emails or phone numbers on the community space, we have the obligation to remove it from public views. So be careful and protect yourself!
