VIBETYPE Code of Conduct

At VIBETYPE, the vibe comes first – and good vibes need clear boundaries. We aim to promote a harmonious and safe digital community – both online in the app and at in-person events that the app facilitates. This Code of Conduct is here to ensure that everyone feels respected and enjoys being part of the experience. All community members are expected to follow these rules. Violations can lead to account suspension or removal.

This isn’t some boring rulebook – it’s our collective manifesto for good vibes.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re posting or planning something and think: “Hmm… is this okay?” Do a quick vibe check: If you wouldn’t show it to your grandma, better not post it.

Respect & Inclusion

✅ Rule #1: Don’t be a jerk.

Respectful Interaction: Treat all members with kindness and respect. Courtesy, empathy, and a friendly tone are the foundation of our community. Insults, aggressive behavior, or personal attacks have no place on VIBETYPE.
Inclusion & Equality: VIBETYPE welcomes everyone, regardless of background, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability. Discrimination or exclusion of any kind will not be tolerated. Always value differences and diversity.
Constructive Interactions: Even without chat, interactions are possible (e.g., via event descriptions, profile texts, or reviews). Always remain factual and constructive. When giving feedback or writing on profiles, be respectful and solution-oriented. Personal attacks, bullying, or provocations are prohibited.

Prohibited Content & Behavior

✅ In short: No hate, no scams, no disrespectful shows. Reminder: Just because it flies on social media doesn’t mean it’s okay here. We moderate. Strict but fair.

To keep the platform safe and welcoming, certain content and behavior are strictly prohibited on VIBETYPE. These include (but are not limited to):

Violence & Threats: No content glorifying violence, inciting violence, or making real threats of harm. Graphic or shocking depictions of extreme violence are forbidden. Physical threats or calls for vigilante justice have no place here.
Hate Speech & Discrimination: Hate speech against individuals or groups is banned. This includes derogatory or discriminatory comments or symbols targeting, for example, origin, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. VIBETYPE is a hate-speech-free zone – racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other form of hate will not be tolerated.
Harassment & Bullying: Harassment in any form is not allowed. This includes targeting, intimidating, or humiliating other users. No personal attacks, stalking, bullying, or constant provocations. Respect others’ boundaries – no means no, both online and offline.
Respectful Tone: Do not post content that is insulting, harassing, or defamatory. Personal attacks, bullying, or trying to tear others down is not welcome. Everyone should feel safe and respected.
Sexual Content & Inappropriate Behavior: Don’t share pornographic or sexually explicit content. Nude images, sexualized depictions, and suggestive content are off-limits, especially without consent. Sexual harassment – whether verbal, visual, or physical at events – is strictly prohibited. Erotic content must comply with the law and not violate youth protection regulations.
Youth Protection: If younger people have access to VIBETYPE, make sure your content is appropriate for minors. Don’t post anything disturbing, violent, or otherwise unsuitable for younger audiences. Children and teenagers must be protected – any exploitation or endangerment (e.g., arranging inappropriate meetings) will lead to immediate suspension and may be reported to authorities.
Illegal Activities: Do not use VIBETYPE for illegal purposes. It is forbidden to create events or content that promote or encourage criminal acts. This includes drug trafficking, violent crimes, theft, vandalism, terrorism, or extremist activities. Do not share content that violates the law.
Self-Harm & Dangerous Acts: Do not post content that promotes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders. Also banned are extreme stunts or risky challenges that could seriously harm participants. Such content has no place on VIBETYPE.
Spam, Ads & Misleading Info: Avoid spam and unwanted advertising. Do not create repetitive or meaningless events just for self-promotion. Don’t mislead others with false or deceptive information. Chain letters, pyramid schemes, or scams are forbidden.
Impersonation & Deception: Be authentic and honest. Do not pretend to be someone else or create fake profiles or events to deceive others. Impersonating VIBETYPE staff or committing any type of fraud (phishing, ticket scams, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
Copyright & Intellectual Property: Respect others’ intellectual property. Only upload photos, videos, texts, or music that you created or have the rights to use. Publishing copyrighted material without permission (including logos, brands, protected music or images) is not allowed. Also, do not copy or steal third-party content when writing event descriptions or filling out profiles.
Other Prohibited Content: Content that is fraudulent or makes false promises (e.g., scams), or spreads viruses or malware is also banned. Automated bots or scripts are not allowed to post content without permission. Bottom line: Content must align with the spirit of this community – anything that goes against this or harms the app or its users is not allowed.

(This list is not exhaustive. In case of doubt, VIBETYPE reserves the right to take action against content or behavior that contradicts this Code of Conduct.)

💡 Note: All content that does not violate the rules above and is relevant to the community is allowed. We welcome diverse contributions, opinions, and creative input, as long as it is respectful and legal. When in doubt, ask yourself whether your content is appropriate for all age groups and useful or interesting to others. Ask yourself: Would you say it face-to-face to someone? If not, better not post it.

Data Protection & Safety

✅ Privacy is like your DJ booth: Only you decide who gets access. So: Don’t pass around other people’s data. Not cool.

Protecting Privacy: Handle personal data with care – both your own and that of others. Do not share private information about others (e.g., full names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, or personal photos) without their explicit consent. Doxxing (publishing sensitive personal data) is strictly prohibited.
Using Privacy Settings: Our app offers settings that let you share certain profile details or posts with just friends/participants. Use them if you want to limit visibility. Also, respect others’ privacy settings – for example, if an event is marked private, treat the information shared there as confidential.
Mind Your Own Data: Be mindful about what personal details you share on the platform. Remember that anything you post publicly can be seen by others. Use profile settings to keep sensitive information private.
Don’t Share Others’ Info (Photos & People): If you upload event photos where other people are clearly recognizable, make sure they’ve agreed to it. Respect personal rights: no one should appear on VIBETYPE against their will or be tagged without consent.
Account Security: Protect your account with a strong password and never share your login details with others. You are responsible for all activity under your account. If you notice unauthorized access or suspicious behavior, report it immediately to the VIBETYPE team via: https://forms.monday.com/forms/74204ae8168ecb1dd44c15b502854a5a?r=euc1.
Don’t Endanger Others: Don’t put anyone at risk through your behavior. For example, the app may not be used to promote challenges or content that encourages dangerous actions. Think about the consequences before posting something others might copy. Safety > virality.
Plan Safe Meetups: The app makes it easy to connect and meet at events. If you plan to meet people through the app (outside of official events), always choose public places and let friends or family know where you’ll be. This is more of a personal safety tip than a rule, but we strongly recommend it. At official events, organizers usually handle safety – follow their instructions.
Data Privacy Policies: Follow applicable data protection laws and our privacy policy. Do not collect or use other users’ data for unauthorized purposes (e.g., unsolicited contact or marketing outside the platform). The privacy of our community is a top priority.

💡 Reminder: Privacy and safety are a team effort. We provide the tools and rules – you, the user, should use them wisely. Treat others’ privacy with the same care you expect for your own.

Creating Events & Content

✅ Your event is your stage. Keep it clean, honest & welcoming.

Honest and Clear Info: When creating an event, provide accurate and clear information (title, date, location, description, etc.). Do not mislead participants – they deserve to know what to expect. Be transparent and clear about the event’s purpose.
Appropriate Event Content: Only post events that align with our community values. Events that promote violence, hate, illegal activities, or discrimination are not allowed. Also make sure event titles and descriptions use respectful language – avoid vulgar or offensive terms.
Photos & Media: Choose event and profile images that follow the guidelines. Do not upload media containing violent, sexually explicit, or offensive content. Only share media you have the rights to use (see Copyright above) and that doesn’t violate anyone’s privacy or dignity.
No Unauthorized Advertising: Don’t use events just as a cover for advertising or commercial purposes unrelated to the community vibe. If your event is sponsored or has a commercial aspect, be transparent and make sure it offers real value to the community – not just spam.
Feedback and Reviews: When rating events or giving feedback, be fair and objective. Constructive criticism is welcome, but it must be expressed respectfully. Nobody likes unjustified negative reviews or personal attacks disguised as “feedback.” Focus on the content, not the person.

Behavior at In-Person Events

✅ Online vibes? Then stay respectful offline too. Leave events – and people – better than you found them.

Respect On Site: VIBETYPE values apply offline just as much as online. Treat fellow event participants with the same respect and kindness you’d show in the app. Being punctual, reliable, and greeting others with a smile shows appreciation. Harassment, discrimination, or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in any setting.
Follow Rules & Laws: Respect the venue rules and local laws. Don’t bring prohibited items to events (e.g., weapons, drugs) and follow any house rules or terms set by event organizers. If an event has specific guidelines (like a dress code or age restriction), respect them.
Safety & Well-Being: Look out for your own safety and that of others. Respect personal boundaries – physical contact or photos are only okay if everyone involved consents. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, step away and reach out to the event organizers or the VIBETYPE team. And if you see someone being harassed or endangered, speak up or get help (without putting yourself at risk).
Personal Responsibility: Own your behavior at events. Be honest and reliable – if you sign up, do your best to show up or cancel in good time. Leave the venue as you'd like to find it. Remember: as a VIBETYPE community member, your offline actions also reflect on the community as a whole.
Follow-Up: If problems arise during an event (conflicts, code of conduct violations, safety issues), report them to the VIBETYPE team afterward. We take such reports seriously and aim to make future events safer and better for everyone.

Enforcement & Consequences

✅ Don’t want drama? Stick to the rules.

Reporting Violations: If you see content or behavior that violates this Code of Conduct, report it to the VIBETYPE team. Reporting tools are available in the app. Everyone plays a part in keeping the community safe by flagging harmful content or events.
Review & Moderation: The VIBETYPE team reviews reports and may take appropriate action if rules are broken. Content may be removed or edited if it goes against the guidelines. Likewise, events may be canceled or profile elements adjusted to protect the community.
Warnings & Bans: Depending on the severity, violations may result in warnings or immediate consequences. Minor offenses might lead to a warning or request to change behavior. Serious or repeated violations can result in temporary or permanent account bans. In extreme cases (e.g., criminal activity, threats, harassment), an immediate permanent ban may be issued without prior warning.
Legal Action: Illegal actions – such as credible threats of violence, sharing abusive material, or encouraging criminal activity – can be reported to the relevant authorities in addition to resulting in a ban. Protecting our community comes first.
No Circumventing Action: Don’t try to bypass moderation measures. Banned users may not create new accounts without permission. Attempts to get around these rules can result in further action.
Community Effort: This Code of Conduct only works if everyone supports it. Thanks to all who take it seriously and help build a friendly, safe environment. If you have questions or concerns about the rules, reach out to the VIBETYPE team. We’re here for you – let’s build something great together.

Final Words

✅ Keep it real. Keep it safe. Keep it vibin'.

VIBETYPE is about fun, connection, and shared experiences. By sticking to this Code of Conduct, we make sure everyone has a good time, both on the platform and at events. Thank you for being part of our community and helping to create a safe and positive vibe!

Important: These steps are guidelines. In some cases, the moderation team may act differently if special circumstances apply. For example, a severe first-time violation could result in a permanent ban if that’s what it takes to protect the community. Likewise, minor issues will be handled with fairness and discretion. Our Trust & Safety team follows internal policies and uses best judgment – similar to platforms like Discord, where staff can issue warnings, remove content, or suspend accounts depending on severity.
