Threats, Violence & Harm

Encouraging or engaging in violent or dangerous behavior is strictly prohibited. Never intimidate or threaten to harm a person, a group of people, or someone’s property.

Posts of gratuitous or graphic violence, including animal abuse, are not allowed.

We don’t allow the glorification of self-harm, including the promotion of self-injury, suicide or eating disorders.

Overview

The safety and wellbeing of our community is a top priority at Nivafy, and we take all instances of threats, violence, and harm seriously. We do not allow content that encourages, threatens, or graphically depicts violent or dangerous behavior, or content that glorifies or encourages self-harm. Imminent threats to human life may be referred to law enforcement.

While our policies and moderation practices help to ensure our platform is safe for all users, we also proactively invest in features and resources to help support the wellbeing of our community. We encourage Nivafy users to report content that indicates self-harm or emotional distress so that our teams can send resources that may be helpful and potentially alert emergency health responders.

What you should expect

Our Community Guidelines relating to Threats, Violence, and Harm reflect a commitment to removing content that undermines our community’s safety, while also being attentive to urgent expressions of distress on our platform.

To promote safety, these rules prohibit threats on Nivafy, which includes any content expressing an intention to cause serious physical or emotional harm to a person, a group of people, or their property. Where content indicates an imminent threat to human life, our teams may alert law enforcement agencies who may be positioned to intervene.

We also prohibit content that glorifies, or risks inciting, violent or harmful behavior toward people or animals––this includes content that encourages or glorifies self-harm, such as suicide, self-mutilation, or eating disorders.

Where users report content that indicates a risk of self-harm, our teams review these reports with an eye toward providing helpful resources and potentially identifying opportunities for emergency services to intervene, where possible.

To further support the wellbeing of our community, our setting and support system offer resources from expert localized partners when users search for certain topics related to mental health, anxiety, depression, stress, suicidal thoughts, grief and bullying.

Conclusion

Our approach to responding to threats, violence, and harm are tailored to the situation. When it comes to threats to oneself, our teams work to identify the best means of support via safety resources. Where others are under threat, we strive to advance safe outcomes both through the enforcement of our policies and, where necessary, in collaboration with law enforcement.
