Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: February 19, 2026
This policy outlines what is and isn't allowed on Bleatly. It applies to all users, including community admins. Violating this policy may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent ban.
1. Prohibited Content
You may not post, upload, or share:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — zero tolerance. Any CSAM will be immediately removed and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) via the CyberTipline, and to law enforcement. The account will be permanently banned
- Illegal content — content that violates any applicable law
- Non-consensual intimate images — intimate or sexual images of someone shared without their consent
- Threats of violence — direct or credible threats against any individual or group
- Terrorism or violent extremism — content that promotes, glorifies, or recruits for terrorist organizations or violent extremist groups
- Malware or phishing — links, files, or content designed to harm devices or steal credentials
2. Prohibited Behavior
You may not:
- Harass or bully — target individuals with repeated unwanted contact, insults, threats, or intimidation
- Dox — share someone's private personal information (address, phone number, workplace, etc.) without their consent
- Stalk — persistently follow or monitor someone across communities against their wishes
- Spam — send unsolicited bulk messages, advertisements, or repetitive content
- Impersonate — pretend to be another person, company, or entity in a misleading way
- Evade bans — create new accounts to circumvent a suspension or ban
- Manipulate — use bots, scripts, or automated tools to interact with the service without permission
- Exploit — attempt to find or exploit vulnerabilities in the service (report them to support@bleatly.com instead)
3. Copyright Infringement
Respect intellectual property. Don't upload content you don't have the right to share. If you believe your copyright has been infringed, see the DMCA section in our Terms of Service.
4. Community Admin Responsibilities
Community admins have additional tools and responsibilities:
- Admins should make reasonable efforts to moderate their communities
- Admins must not use their privileges to harass users or enable prohibited content
- Admins are not allowed to create communities specifically designed to host prohibited content
- Bleatly may intervene if a community consistently violates this policy
5. Enforcement
We take a graduated approach to enforcement, depending on the severity:
- Warning — for first-time minor violations
- Content removal — offending content is deleted
- Temporary suspension — account access is temporarily revoked
- Permanent ban — account is permanently terminated
For severe violations (CSAM, credible threats of violence, terrorism), we skip directly to permanent ban and law enforcement notification.
6. Reporting
If you see content or behavior that violates this policy:
- Contact the community admin using in-app moderation tools
- Email support@bleatly.com for serious violations or if the admin is unresponsive
We review all reports and aim to respond within 48 hours.
