Community Guidelines

TraBuzza Community Guidelines

TraBuzza is a space for fostering kind, safe, and respectful connections. To support healthy and equitable relationships, we hold our members accountable for their interactions with one another.

Our Community Guidelines are designed to keep our members safe by clarifying what content and conduct are unacceptable, both on and off our platform.

Profile Guidelines

• Age: You must be at least 18 years old to join TraBuzza. Creating a profile that misrepresents you as being underage is not allowed. We reserve the right to request ID to verify your age and will block underage users from the platform.

• Profile Photos: To celebrate your authentic self, we require at least one profile photo to clearly show your full face. We do not permit:

  • Photos that are heavily distorted or contain exaggerated digital effects that obscure your appearance.

  • Overlaid symbols, icons, frames, or stickers not provided by TraBuzza.

  • Memes or photos with only text as your profile photo.

  • Photos of children on their own or unclothed children.

• Username: Members may use initials, abbreviations, nicknames, or full names. While legal names are not required, usernames should authentically represent your everyday name. We do not allow:

  • Any words or phrases that violate our guidelines.

  • Names of celebrities or fictional characters.

  • Descriptive words, symbols, emojis, numbers, or punctuation other than valid names.

Content and Conduct Guidelines

• Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity: TraBuzza prohibits nude, sexually explicit, or sexually vulgar content. We also do not allow the commercial exchange of romantic or sexual activity, content, or services, including the sale or advertisement of adult sexual content.

• Bullying and Abusive Conduct: Our community is for creating kind connections. We do not tolerate harassment, bullying, or targeting behavior. This includes belittling, insulting, intimidating behavior, unsolicited comments about appearance, emotional abuse, blackmail, repeated unwanted contact, or encouraging violence.

• Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse: TraBuzza has a zero tolerance policy for child sexual exploitation and abuse. Content that sexualizes or endangers children is strictly prohibited, including any visual depictions or discussions of sexually explicit conduct involving a child. A child is anyone under 18 years old. Sharing or enticing others to share child sexual abuse material is also forbidden.

• Commercial and Promotional Activity: TraBuzza is not a marketplace. Unsolicited commercial or promotional activities are not allowed.

• Controlled Goods and Substances: Members may not use TraBuzza to buy, sell, or distribute illegal drugs or controlled substances, including e-cigarettes, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, or the misuse of prescription drugs, tobacco, or alcohol.

• Dangerous Organisations and Individuals: We do not permit the presence of organizations or individuals that support or glorify violent, dangerous, or terrorist-based missions.

• Identity-Based Hate: We aim to foster a diverse and inclusive community. Content or behavior that promotes or condones hate, dehumanization, degradation, or contempt against marginalized or minoritized communities based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or religion is prohibited.

• Inauthentic Profiles: Authenticity is key on TraBuzza. We do not allow impersonation or misrepresentation. This includes catfishing or falsely stating facts about yourself such as name, gender, age, and location.

• Misinformation: We prohibit the sharing of false or misleading content that may cause harm or impact safety. This includes content that contradicts reputable health organizations, misleading information on civic processes, and unproven conspiracy theories.

• Physical and Sexual Violence: We do not tolerate content or behavior that involves or threatens physical or sexual violence, including stalking, exploitation, human trafficking, or sexual assault.

• Scams and Theft: TraBuzza prohibits scams or theft aimed at defrauding members. This includes seeking financial support under false pretenses or using romantic intentions to deceive members.

• Sexual Harassment: We do not tolerate any form of sexual harassment. This includes cyberflashing, indecent exposure, sharing or threatening to share intimate images without consent, sending unwanted sexual comments or images, and fetishization.

• Spam: Unwanted or irrelevant bulk content is not permitted. This includes misleading links, excessive account creation, and multiple active profiles for unwanted interactions.

• Suicide and Self-Injury Promotion: While sharing personal experiences is allowed, we do not permit content that depicts, promotes, or assists in activities leading to suicide, self-injury, or disordered eating.

• Violent and Graphic Content: TraBuzza prohibits violent, graphic, or gory content. This includes violent descriptions in usernames or profiles, photos with blood or injury, and images of guns (except on uniformed law enforcement or military personnel).

• Platform Manipulation: We aim to foster genuine connections, so any attempts to manipulate connections, matching, conversations, or engagement through automation or scripting are prohibited.

Safety Reporting

Safety is a priority at TraBuzza. We use human moderators and automated systems to review accounts and interactions for guideline violations. Members play a crucial role in reporting content or behavior that breaches our guidelines. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, we encourage you to Unmatch with or Block & Report the member. For more information on reporting, see this article.

Note that mere disagreement with a member or their content is not a reason to report them. We may take action against members who intentionally create false or inappropriate reports, especially if based solely on protected attributes.

Enforcement Philosophy

All members must follow the Community Guidelines. Violations may result in various actions, including:

• Removing content

• Issuing a warning

• Banning from some or all TraBuzza apps

We may also cooperate with law enforcement on criminal investigations related to member conduct. Actions may be taken based on conduct reported outside the app if it affects our community.

If you believe we’ve made an error regarding actions on your account or content, please contact us.
