Community guidelines

The guidelines on yachad.social are binding

This page summarises. The binding text is in the community guidelines, which form part of the terms of use.

Yachad is a place for Christians of all denominations. We treat each other with respect, even when we believe differently.

The principle

Moderation is about behaviour, not belief. Different views on doctrine, worship or questions of life have their place, as do honest questions and doubts.

What is not allowed

• harassment, bullying and stalking
• hate and degradation, for example because of denomination, origin, gender or sexual orientation
• threats and violence
• sexual content and unwanted advances; towards teenagers, without exception
• spam, advertising and requests to transfer or donate money
• fraud and pretending to be someone else, including a church
• publishing other people’s private information, such as addresses or photos without consent
• an account if you are under 16

What happens after violations

Depending on severity, the platform team hides content, issues a warning or suspends an account temporarily or permanently. The person affected receives every decision with a statement of reasons and can appeal. See Report and block.

When someone is in distress

Report the person with the category Person needs help. In an emergency: ambulance 144, police 117, the helpline Die Dargebotene Hand 143, for children and young people Pro Juventute 147.
