• Do not share private personal data (e.g., addresses, phone numbers) of others without consent.

6. Rules for Posts, Comments, and Pinned Boards

• Posts: photos and video clips must comply with these policies and applicable law.
• Comments: must be respectful and must not contain harassment, hate, or threats.
• Pinned Boards: boards are treated as content surfaces; prohibited content pinned/curated on boards is enforceable.
• Reporting: do not abuse reporting tools (e.g., false reporting to harass others).

7. Group and Event Policies

7.1 Groups

• Users may join/leave at will; group rules may exist but cannot override Aligno’s policies.
• Coordinated harassment or exclusionary targeting is prohibited.

7.2 Events (physical addresses + external links)

• Event creators are responsible for accurate details and for ensuring events are lawful and safe.
• Do not post events that facilitate illegal activity, harassment, violence, or exploitation.
• External links must not lead to malware, phishing, scams, or prohibited content.
• Do not post another person’s home address or private location without consent.

8. Enforcement (How We Act)

Aligno may use automated systems and human review to enforce these policies. Actions may include:

• Removing content (posts, comments, pinned boards, event listings) or limiting distribution.
• Issuing warnings or placing accounts into restricted status.
• Suspending or banning accounts, including for repeated or severe violations.
• Preserving evidence for investigations and compliance, where permitted by law.

9. Reporting and Appeals

Report posts, pinned boards, events, or users through in-app reporting or the Help Center. If you believe enforcement was incorrect, you may contact support via the Help Center. We may not be able to provide detailed reasons in all cases (e.g., safety, legal, or privacy constraints).
