bamboo Community Guidelines

bamboo is a place to grow, a little every day, alongside other people. These guidelines keep it kind and safe. They apply to everything on bamboo: posts, photos, videos, comments, chats, usernames, profile photos, challenges you create and links you share.

Be kind

• Encourage people. Everyone starts somewhere.
• No bullying, harassment, threats or mocking others' efforts, bodies or progress.
• No hate. Don't attack people for their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, disability or where they come from.

Keep it safe

• No dangerous or illegal challenges. Nothing that risks serious injury, breaks the law, or pressures people into unsafe eating, drugs, alcohol or extreme exercise.
• No content that promotes self-harm or suicide. If you're struggling, please reach out: Lifeline 13 11 14 (Australia), Samaritans 116 123 (UK), 988 (US).
• No nudity or sexual content.
• Zero tolerance for anything that sexualises or endangers anyone under 18. We remove it, ban the account and report it to the authorities.

Keep it real

• Be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone else, and don't make fake accounts.
• No spam, scams or advertising. Links should genuinely help with a challenge.
• Only post what you have the right to share. Ask before you post other people in your photos or videos.
• Respect privacy. Don't share other people's personal details or private messages.

In collabs

• Keep chats about the challenge and be respectful.
• If you meet in person, choose a public place and tell someone you trust.
• If anyone makes you uncomfortable, block them and report them.

What happens if someone breaks the rules

• Content can be reported from its "…" menu. After several reports it is hidden until we review it.
• Depending on how serious it is, we may remove the content, give a warning, suspend the account for a while, or ban it permanently. Very serious cases skip straight to a ban.
• If you think we got it wrong, email support@bamboochallenge.app.

Tools you can use

• Report anything from its "…" menu.
• Block someone from their profile. They won't see your content or be able to contact you.
• Choose who sees each post: friends or everyone.
