Community Guidelines

These Community Guidelines define acceptable and unacceptable behavior on Cracy. They exist to protect the platform's integrity, not to guarantee user safety, fairness, reach, or outcomes.

Cracy is a public-first, campaign-driven platform. Participation is voluntary. Visibility, interaction, and response are inherently unpredictable. By using Cracy, you acknowledge that exposure to diverse, controversial, or objectionable content is an inherent risk of public platforms.

These Guidelines operate in a self-looping legal framework with Cracy's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. No section shall be interpreted independently to impose additional duties, liabilities, or obligations on Cracy.

1. Guiding Principles (Read This First)

Cracy is built on the following principles:

• User Accountability First: Users are responsible for their content, actions, campaigns, and interactions.
• Platform Neutrality: Cracy does not endorse, verify, or guarantee any viewpoint, campaign, or content.
• Discretionary Enforcement: Cracy may act, but is never obligated to act.
• Risk Assumption: Users assume all risks arising from participation, visibility, and interaction.

These Guidelines are rules of access, not guarantees of conduct by others.

2. Content Responsibility & Ownership

You are solely responsible for:

• Content you create, upload, repost, campaign for, or interact with
• Consequences arising from public visibility or redistribution
• Ensuring compliance with applicable laws and third-party rights

Cracy does not pre-screen content and does not act as a publisher, editor, or arbiter of truth.

3. Prohibited Content Categories

The following content is not permitted on Cracy. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive.

3.1 Illegal or Unlawful Content

• Content that violates any applicable law
• Facilitation or promotion of illegal activity
• Content subject to valid legal takedown obligations

3.2 Sexual Exploitation & Abuse

• Child sexual exploitation material (zero tolerance)
• Sexual exploitation, trafficking, or coercion
• Non-consensual intimate imagery

3.3 Violence & Physical Harm

• Credible threats of violence
• Promotion or glorification of physical harm
• Graphic violence where not contextually justified

3.4 Harassment, Abuse & Targeting

• Direct threats or incitement
• Persistent harassment campaigns
• Coordinated attacks intended to silence or intimidate

Context, intent, and patterns of behavior may be considered at Cracy's discretion.

4. Sensitive, Controversial & Borderline Content

Cracy allows discussion of sensitive, controversial, or polarizing topics, including but not limited to:

• Political opinions
• Social movements
• Religion, philosophy, ideology
• Public-interest debates

However:

• Cracy does not validate accuracy or truthfulness
• Users engage with such content at their own risk
• Offense alone does not constitute a violation

Cracy may restrict visibility or access without removing content.

5. Misinformation & Harmful Claims

Cracy does not act as a fact-checker.

However, content may be restricted if it:

• Poses a credible risk of real-world harm
• Is part of coordinated manipulation or deception
• Interferes with platform integrity or operations

Cracy makes no guarantee of consistency, neutrality, or explanation in such actions.

6. Campaigns, Voting & Manipulation

Campaigning is a core feature of Cracy, but users must not:

• Artificially inflate votes or influence
• Use automation, bots, or coordinated manipulation
• Misrepresent affiliation or endorsement

Cracy may adjust, limit, reset, or nullify campaigns or votes without notice.

No user has a right to rankings, reach, or influence.

7. Privacy & Personal Data

Users must not:

• Share personal data without lawful authority or consent
• Dox, stalk, or expose private individuals
• Exploit platform features to harvest data

Cracy is not responsible for personal data users choose to make public.

8. Impersonation & Misrepresentation

You must not:

• Impersonate individuals or entities in a misleading manner
• Falsely claim affiliation, authority, or endorsement

Parody and satire may be permitted where context is clear.

9. Platform Integrity & Abuse

Prohibited behaviors include:

• Circumventing safeguards or enforcement
• Reverse engineering or scraping
• Exploiting bugs, algorithms, or ranking systems

Cracy may take technical or legal action to protect platform integrity.

10. Reporting & Complaints

Users may report content or behavior.

Important clarifications:

• Reporting does not guarantee action
• Cracy is not required to respond or explain outcomes
• Reports may be reviewed automatically or manually

False or abusive reporting may itself result in enforcement.

11. Enforcement Actions

Cracy may, at its sole discretion:

• Remove or restrict content
• Limit visibility or features
• Suspend or terminate accounts
• Take no action

Enforcement decisions:

• Are discretionary
• Are non-precedential
• Do not create obligations for future cases

12. No Duty to Monitor

Cracy has no obligation to:

• Monitor content
• Investigate disputes
• Resolve user conflicts
• Provide explanations or appeals

Any moderation performed is voluntary and does not create responsibility or liability.

13. No Guarantees

Cracy does not guarantee:

• Safety
• Accuracy
• Fairness
• Equal treatment
• Consistent enforcement

The Platform is provided on an as-is, as-available basis.

14. Updates to These Guidelines

Cracy may update these Community Guidelines at any time.

Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the revised Guidelines.

15. Final Acknowledgement
