Community Guidelines

Comfort levels vary person to person. That’s why we encourage you to Honor, Feedback or even Report a person, so that the others will understand the person better.

Don’t publicly broadcast your personal information or ways for people to connect with you (no public displays of things like phone numbers, emails, or social handles). Sharing out your bank account numbers or email password is always a bad idea. Don’t ask others to send you their personal details either. Be cautious when sending money to other people. Or maybe don’t at all.

We promote positivity and won’t tolerate any sort of violent content that contains gore, death, images or descriptions of violent acts (against humans or animals), use of weapons, and anything advocating or glorifying self-harm.

If we believe there’s a risk of imminent harm, we may take steps to assist, like reaching out directly with crisis resources.

Don’t advertise, promote, share your social handles to gain followers, sell stuff, fundraise, or campaign.

People want to meet the real you. Not your fake persona. People are joining to play board game rather than paying attention to others perfections or imperfections.

Talking to new people can be tricky, especially when you’re interacting with humans from all walks of life. Respect goes a long way and both ways.

If the convo goes unexpectedly awry and you find yourself getting upset or feeling angry–pause and reflect before you react. Harassment, threats, bullying, intimidation, doxing, sextortion, blackmail, or anything intentionally done to cause harm is not allowed.

BoardGameHive.ro is not a place for hate. We will never stand behind racism, bigotry, hatred, or violence based on who someone is, how they identify or what they look like, but we believe that people can make mistakes and can grow into avoiding to make them in the future. This includes (but not limited to) someone’s race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, physicality, gender, gender identity, age, national origin, or sexual orientation. If you see someone who doesn't meet your personal criteria, don't invite them, keep them in your invite or write them and move on. Don't report them unless you think they've violated our policies.

Any acts or behavior that suggests, intends, or causes harm to another member - either on or offline, physically or digitally - will be taken very seriously. This includes anything calling for or inciting harm.

If you have been hurt by someone on BoardGameHive.ro: first, please take care of yourself, and second, take some time to decide what you need to heal, whether that be accountability measures, disclosure, support, or all of the above. If this includes reporting the harm to us, please reach out. We are here for you.

If you join an invite, you can leave the invite at any time (no matter the reason), by removing yourself from it. You don’t have to stay in an invite, if you don’t feel to want that. Don’t let the others to influence you. Trust your decisions and keep yourself safe mentally and physically.
