Community Guidelines

The charter

Armoiria is a positivity-only space: every interaction should feel like a compliment between friends. That is not a vibe — it is the design. There are no downvotes and no dislikes anywhere in the app, reactions are deliberately limited to warm ones (fire, heart, clap), and the comment composer holds hostile messages back before they ever reach another person.

Fashion is personal. Someone's outfit post is a small act of courage, and a wardrobe is often a decade of decisions and memories. These guidelines exist to keep the sharing safe for everyone, and they apply to every social surface in the app: posts, comments, profiles, shared wardrobes, gift lists, rooms, and style submissions.

The rules

1. Keep it kind. No hostility, insults, harassment, hate speech, or dogpiling — aimed at anyone, about anything. Critique Garment X's fit all you like about your own outfit; criticize a person and you're out.
2. No spam, no selling. No referral spam, affiliate links, discount codes, crypto, or "DM me to shop my closet" commerce in social surfaces. The wishlist and gift lists are the product's commerce — they don't need your side channel.
3. Stay faceless by default. Posts are designed to share flatlays and composites, not selfies. Faces of other people require their consent, always. Screenshots of someone else's wardrobe, profile, or messages — even "as a joke" — are a privacy violation.
4. Credit what you remix. If your post builds on another member's look or idea, the app credits them automatically — don't strip attribution or present a borrowed look as untouched original work.
5. One human, one account. No impersonation of other members, public figures, or the Armoiria team; no bots or automated posting; no evasion of a block or an enforcement action with new accounts.
6. Keep it legal and age-appropriate. No nudity or sexual content, no self-harm or pro-eating-disorder content, no threats or doxxing, nothing illegal. This list is not exhaustive; if it would make the app worse for a 16-year-old, it doesn't belong here.

Reporting content

Every post, comment, and profile has a report action. Reports go straight into the moderation queue — they are append-only (nobody can see who reported what, and reporters can't be retaliated against through the app), and each one lands in triage with the content, the reason, and your optional note attached. The in-app reasons are:

• Spam — commercial noise, bots, link dumping.
• Harassment — negativity, hostility, or targeting.
• Inappropriate — content that breaks rules 3–6.
• Other — anything the categories miss; tell us what.

For anything urgent or dangerous, report and email [email protected] — reports are processed in order, email gets a human immediately. Blocking is always one tap away and works instantly for you regardless of any moderation outcome.

How enforcement works

Enforcement is proportional and layered, and — this is the part most apps skip — every outcome is written down:

1. Held at the composer. The comment classifier stops clearly hostile messages before they post. Nothing is deleted; you get the chance to rephrase kindly. Held comments are not reported to anyone and carry no penalty.
2. Content removal. Reported content that breaks the rules is removed. The author is notified which content was removed and which rule it broke — never a vague "your content was actioned."
3. Account actions. Repeat or severe violations escalate: a warning first, then feature restrictions (posting pauses, social surfaces go read-only), and only for unrepentant or egregious cases, removal from the platform entirely.

We do not silently shadowban, and we do not remove content without telling the author what happened and why. If a decision was wrong, the appeals process below is the fix.

Appeals

Every removal and account action comes with the right of appeal:

1. Where: the removal notice in the app carries anAppeal action; you can also email [email protected] from the address on your account. One line is enough: what was removed and why you think it was a mistake.
2. Who reviews it: a person who did not make the original decision. The original moderator's reasoning is visible to them, but the re-review is fresh.
3. How long: a decision within five business days, sent to you directly — approved, upheld, or upheld-with-context (what would have made it acceptable). If it takes longer, you get an interim note, not silence.
4. Outcomes: an upheld appeal restores the content and reverses any account action, and the mistake is logged (below) so the same misjudgment doesn't recur. An upheld decision always comes with the specific reasoning, and you may appeal once more with new information.

Retaliation for reporting in good faith — or for appealing — is itself a rule-1 violation, whether it comes from a member or from us.

Moderation transparency

Moderation decisions are logged internally with the rule applied, the action taken, and the appeal history — the log is how appeals get real re-reviews and how this page stays honest. Twice a year we publish a short transparency note here: reports received, removals by category, appeals and their outcomes, and anything we got wrong that we fixed. The first note covers the launch period and will land with the first transparency report.

These guidelines are deliberately short enough to actually read. They will evolve with the community; material changes are dated at the top of this page, and the charter — positivity-only, no downvotes — is not up for revision.
