6ix — Community Guidelines

• Safety first. We protect users—especially minors—against harm, harassment, and exploitation.
• Creativity & culture. 6ix celebrates Fashion, Music, Education, Gaming, and positive community energy.
• Integrity & fairness. Be honest, disclose paid promotions, respect IP and privacy, and compete fairly.
• Inclusion. Everyone deserves dignity. Bigotry and dehumanization are not welcome.

These Guidelines apply to public and private spaces on 6ix (including DMs and private rooms), to user profiles and handles, to uploaded/streamed content, to comments and reactions, and to off-platform behavior that creates significant safety risk on 6ix (e.g., coordinated harassment brigades organized elsewhere).

• No targeted harassment or bullying. This includes slurs, degrading stereotypes, dogpiling, or humiliating edits.
• No stalking or intimidation. Don’t pursue users across threads/DMs after they ask you to stop.
• No sexual harassment. Unwanted sexual advances, sexualized insults, or coercion are prohibited.
• Critique is fine; attacks are not. Debate ideas; don’t demean people.

If you experience harassment, use Reporting & Safety tools and consider blocking or muting.

• No hateful conduct. Dehumanizing or violent content targeting protected classes is banned.
• No extremist praise. Support, praise, or recruitment for terrorist or violent extremist groups is prohibited.
• Context matters. News/education can discuss sensitive topics with neutral framing, no advocacy, and appropriate warnings.

• No credible threats, doxxing threats, or incitement to violence.
• No instructions to create weapons, explosives, or to commit serious illegal acts.
• No dangerous challenges or acts likely to cause injury.
• Self-harm and suicide content must be supportive, non-graphic, and include crisis resources; otherwise it is removed/restricted.

In emergencies, contact local services immediately. 6ix calling/video is not a substitute for emergency services.

• Zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation. We remove and report to authorities where required.
• Adult content rules. Sexual content may be age-gated/limited by region and law; non-consensual content is banned.
• Consent for recordings. Laws vary; if you record or enable VOD, disclose recording to participants.

See Safety & Minors and Terms of Use — Streaming.

• No posting others’ private info (home address, IDs, non-public phone/email) without explicit consent.
• Blur/redact sensitive details when sharing screenshots or video.
• Follow applicable recording consent laws; get permission where required.
• Stolen or hacked data, “revenge porn,” hidden cameras: strictly banned.

Read our Privacy Policy and Cybercrimes Notice.

• Don’t share content that could cause real-world harm (e.g., fake medical cures, dangerous “legal advice”).
• Label satire clearly. Provide sources for factual claims when asked.
• We may add context labels, reduce reach, or remove content that presents significant harm risk.

• No phishing, crypto giveaways, multi-level schemes, or deceptive monetization.
• No malware, links to exploits, or credential harvesting.
• No artificial engagement (engagement pods, fake likes/views, mass automation).
• No evasion of enforcement (ban hopping, duplicate accounts to harass).

• No pretending to be someone else or an organization without clear parody/satire labeling.
• No deceptive verification/status claims.
• We may reclaim usernames that impersonate, infringe, or mislead.

Use only content you have rights to. For takedowns/counter-notices, see Copyright/DMCA. Respect trademarks and publicity rights. “Fair use/dealing” varies by country—if unsure, get permission.

• Disclose synthetic media that could mislead (e.g., face/voice swaps).
• No deepfakes for harassment, sexualization, or political deception.
• No fabrications of crimes or statements that could cause harm.
• Follow the AI Features rules and applicable laws.

• Set correct audience settings; add content warnings when needed.
• Use slow-mode, keyword filters, and moderators for larger rooms.
• Don’t stream illegal acts or enable harassment mobs.
• Disclose if you record or enable replays/VOD.

See the Livestream safety checklist.

• Group admins must enforce these rules; remove illegal or abusive content promptly.
• Admins who knowingly allow violations may face account actions (see Cybercrimes Notice).
• Use member approval, invite links, and report tools to keep spaces healthy.

• Follow Creator Earnings for payouts/KYC/AML/taxes.
• Clearly disclose paid promotions and sponsorships (see Ads Policy).
• No harmful incentives (e.g., risky stunts for tips) or fraudulent fundraising.

• Label sponsored content; keep claims truthful and substantiated.
• Follow restricted/prohibited categories in the Ads Policy.
• Affiliate links must disclose the affiliation and any material connections.

• We may limit features for accounts with policy or safety risks.
• Age-gates and sensitivity labels help protect minors and user choice.
• Some features are unavailable in certain regions due to law or risk.

• Creators can appoint trusted mods; use word filters and timeouts.
• Prefer de-escalation where possible; apply clear channel rules.
• Document repeat problems to support reports and appeals.

• Use in-app report on posts, profiles, DMs, or streams; add details/screenshots.
• Block or mute users; hide replies; restrict DMs to followers or approved contacts.
• For urgent danger, contact local emergency services first.

See Report review workflow for what happens after you report.

• Actions we may take: warnings, label/reach limits, removals, feature limits, suspensions, termination.
• Strikes: Repeated/severe violations escalate; child safety and egregious harm trigger immediate action.
• Appeals: Where available, you can appeal a removal in-app. Not all actions are appealable (e.g., legal obligations).

Also read Terms — Enforcement and Cybercrimes Notice.

6ix is Nigeria-born with global reach. Local laws (e.g., NDPR, GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, DPDP, LGPD, PIPEDA, AU Privacy) may add protections. Where local law is stricter, those rules prevail for users in that region.

See Privacy Policy and Terms — Regional.

This table is illustrative. Actual actions depend on context, severity, history, and legal obligations.

• Set the correct audience (all, mature, subscribers) and content warnings.
• Enable slow-mode and word filters; appoint at least 1–2 moderators.
• Disclose if chat or the room is recorded or if VOD will be available.
• Keep crisis resources handy for mental health topics.
• Shut down streams if illegal or dangerous activity appears; report if needed.

1. Receipt: We receive your report and queue it by risk level.
2. Review: We check context (history, links, repeat behavior, signals).
3. Action: We apply the least severe effective action to restore safety.
4. Notice: Where allowed, we notify parties of outcomes and appeals.
5. Iteration: We adjust filters/rules to prevent recurrences.

We may update these Guidelines as 6ix evolves or laws change. For material changes, we’ll provide notice (e.g., in-app, email, or a banner). Continued use after the effective date means you accept the update.
