# Guidelines A community ecosystem only thrives when every participant plays their part. By engaging with a MAIV Community Space, you agree to follow the guidelines below. {% hint style="info" %} **Community Space** refers to any online platforms owned, operated, or managed by MAIV, including social media channels, forums, chat groups, and official community hubs. {% endhint %} 1. **Respect for All Members** Harassment, discrimination, hate speech, and toxic behavior will not be tolerated. Engage respectfully and communicate with good intent. 2. **Boundaries Matter** Maintain civility. Do not engage in tag teaming or collective bullying. If you have issues with another member, disengage rather than escalate. 3. **No Trolling** Trolling—whether through inflammatory remarks, baiting, or provoking arguments—is not allowed. Participate meaningfully or not at all. 4. **No Spam, Promotions, or Unsolicited Advertising** Avoid spamming, excessive self-promotion, or promoting third-party products and services without permission. Keep discussions relevant to the community. 5. **No NSFW, Gore, or Inappropriate Content** Content that is explicit, violent, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate has no place in our Community Spaces. 6. **Impersonation and Ban Evasion are Prohibited** Do not impersonate team members, bots, or other users. Creating multiple accounts to evade bans or restrictions is strictly forbidden. 7. **FUD is Not Welcome** Misinformation, baseless speculation, unwarranted negativity, and doom-posting will not be tolerated. Thoughtful critique is welcomed, but fear-mongering dressed up as 'constructive feedback' will not be allowed. 8. **Illegal Activities Will Not Be Tolerated** Discussions or actions that involve illegal activities, including fraud, are strictly prohibited. 9. **Privacy is Paramount** Do not share private information about other members without explicit consent. Everyone has a right to privacy. 10. **Maintain Appropriate Language** Use language that is suitable for all audiences. Excessive profanity, offensive slurs, or otherwise inappropriate speech will be removed. 11. **Keep Politics & Ideology Out of the Conversation** Political and ideological debates do not belong in our Community Spaces. Content that sparks divisive or controversial debates will be removed. 12. **Rule Enforcement is Impartial** Rules apply to all members equally. Our Community Team has the right to remove content and accounts that violate these guidelines. 13. **Report Violations** If you come across behavior that violates these guidelines, report it promptly. Reports made in good faith are valued, and retaliation against those who report will not be tolerated. 14. **Warnings and Bans are Final** Enforcement actions, including warnings and bans, are non-negotiable. Messaging our Community Team to appeal decisions will not be entertained. 15. **Ignorance of the Rules is Not an Excuse** Not knowing the rules does not exempt members from compliance. It is your responsibility to stay informed. 16. **Use Good Judgement** Beyond the listed rules, any action deemed harmful to the integrity of our Community Spaces or the MAIV brand may result in enforcement action. Think before you act. 17. **These Guidelines May Evolve** This is a living document. As our Community Spaces grow, these rules may be updated to reflect new challenges and maintain a healthy space. It is your responsibility to stay informed of any changes. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
