Community Guidelines

 

We want Coinvestor to be a place where people can exchange information freely and safely. At Coinvestor, people include images and videos to exchange investment information. Sometimes, the media may depict sensitive topics, such as violence and adult content. Considering that some users may not want to view such sensitive content, we do not allow such content to protect Coinvestor users and created the following guidelines for our community in addition to our Terms of Use.

These guidelines are designed to prohibit violence, harassment, and other types of such behavior and streamline the exchange of information. Under these guidelines, certain types of sensitive media content are not allowed, for they have potential to normalize violence and cause distress to the viewers.

In addition, to protect the integrity of our community, as the provider of the service, we at Coinvestor reserve the right to suspend any account at any time for any conduct that we determine to be inappropriate or harmful. Such actions may include: removal of content, a strike on the account, and/or suspension of account(s).

Please note, this is considered a living document which we will update based on the evolution of the Coinvestor community and service.
