Introduction to Community Policy
LanguageCrush Community Policy help ensure that LanguageCrush is a safe place where language learners from all over the world can connect with one another and help each other learn a language.
We have the right but not the obligation to monitor your account and any content you transmit via our services. LanguageCrush's default position is to not delete, censor, or edit user generated content in any of LanguageCrush's community features. However, there are cases in which LanguageCrush may take extraordinary steps in response to violations of the Community Policy, the Terms of Service, and other policies.
These actions can include:
* Deleting or banning users
* Editing, modifying or removing content
* Publishing, transmitting or displaying content in an altered way
Community Conduct Policy
1. Do NOT Spam: Do not send the same message to multiple users or repeatedly post the same message in forum, write & correct, chat or inbox sections.
2. Do NOT Post or Send Commercial Advertisements: Do not post or comment for commercial purposes.
3. Do NOT Search for a Romantic Relationship: Do not contact other LanguageCrush members for dating, or to find sexual partners. LanguageCrush considers this harassment. LanguageCrush takes reports of unwanted sexual advances very seriously.
4. Do NOT Harass, Bully, or Stalk: LanguageCrush does not tolerate harassment, bullying or stalking. LanguageCrush will take action on all reports of abusive behavior. Repeatedly messaging another user with unwanted friend requests or messages is a form of harassment.
5. Do NOT Create False Identities: Claiming to be another person, creating a false presence for an organization, or creating multiple accounts is not allowed. Duplicate, fake, and joke profiles are not allowed.
Community Content Policy
User Generated Content that falls into any of the following categories is prohibited and LanguageCrush will remove this content. Any LanguageCrush user that is in violation of LanguageCrush policies can and will be removed from the LanguageCrush system.
1. Hate Speech and Offensive Language
LanguageCrush does not permit hate speech or offensive language. We do not permit users to attack others based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition.
2. Commercial or Promotional Content
We ask that you respect our members by not contacting them for commercial purposes without their consent. This includes engaging in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, via the services. In addition, do not make posts or comments that are solely for commercial purposes since this detracts from, and does not add anything of value to the language-learning community.
3. Sexual and Pornographic Content
LanguageCrush has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and any sexually explicit content. We also impose limitations on the display of nudity.
4. Personally Identifiable & Sensitive Information
LanguageCrush does not allow publishing a user's personal or sensitive information without a person's consent. Users are not allowed to interfere with any other user's right to privacy, including by harvesting or collecting personally-identifiable information about other users.
5. Pirated Content
LanguageCrush does not allow users to share content on LanguageCrush, where they do not have the rights to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights.
6. Political or Religious Discussions
LanguageCrush does not permit discussions or graphics relating to political or religious events or groups. Politics and religion are sensitive topics that often lead to polarizing and hateful comments. It is our position to not have these types of discussions on a site that is meant for language learning.
7. Violence
We remove content when we think there is a risk of physical harm, or a threat to public or individual safety. You may not threaten others, or suggest acts of violence. We do not allow promoting, planning or celebrating any actions if they could result in harm to others, including theft and vandalism.
8. Self-Harm

You shall not personally attack another User. Personal attacks are a direct violation of this Community Policy.

11. Encouragement of Violations of the Law
You shall not upload, post or otherwise transmit any content that advocates or provides instruction on illegal activity or discuss illegal activities with the intent to commit them nor shall you upload, post or otherwise transmit any content that violates any law or engage in activity that would constitute a criminal offense or give rise to a civil liability.
