Code of Conduct

TL;DR

• Be kind
• Don't be a troll
• Don't harass people
• Don't dox anyone
• Don't spam

Let's keep Knokr a place worth hanging out in.

Strive For More

Knokr is special because we're genuine, creative, and actually give a damn about each other. Here's how to be part of that:

Be welcoming. We want Knokr to be a place where everyone belongs — no matter your background, experience level, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, immigration status, social or economic class, education, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, appearance, political belief, religion, or mental and physical ability.

Be friendly and patient. We've all been the new person who didn't know the ropes. Treat others the way you'd want to be treated when you're figuring things out. A little snark is fine — mean-spirited isn't.

Be respectful. Disagreements happen. That's cool. What's not cool is taking frustration out on people. No personal attacks. A community where folks feel threatened or unwelcome is no fun for anyone — including you.

Content Guidelines

Knokr posts can be funny, weird, beautiful, chaotic, heartfelt, or all of the above at once. We try not to over-police things, but a few ground rules keep the vibe good for everyone:

• Flag your post NSFW if it might raise eyebrows at work. And hey, if someone else flags yours, don't sweat it.
• Depictions of non-consensual physical or sexual abuse, violent acts, or gore are prohibited. Not sure if something crosses the line? Just ask us.
• Usernames that are overtly sexual, racist, or otherwise make people feel unwelcome are prohibited.
• Accounts or posts created purely to monetize user views are prohibited.
• Selling stuff to fellow community members? Totally fine. Accounts created mainly to push a business? Not so much.

Unacceptable Conduct

“Just be nice” is a start, but here's what we mean more specifically. This list isn't exhaustive, but it covers the big stuff:

• Harassment and exclusionary behavior, including:
  • Violent threats or language toward another person, including encouraging self-harm or suicide.
  • Offensive comments about gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neurodivergence, appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion.
  • Posting sexually explicit or violent material outside of a personal post flagged NSFW.
  • Doxing — posting or threatening to post someone's personal information.
  • Personal insults, especially racist or sexist ones.
  • Unwelcome sexual attention. Any sexual attention after being told to stop.
  • Encouraging or advocating for any of the above.
• Repeated harassment. Seriously — if someone asks you to stop, stop.
• Private harassment counts too.
• Spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-grabbing nonsense.

Reporting & Consequences

• See something that needs moderating? Contact the Knokr moderators right away.
• Feeling harassed or uncomfortable? Reach out. Doesn't matter if you're a longtime member or brand new — we've got your back.
• Moderators can remove content they find inappropriate even if it's not explicitly covered above.
• Inappropriate content may be removed without notice.
• If you're asked to stop a behavior, stop immediately.
• Moderators can take whatever action they deem appropriate, up to and including removing users from Knokr entirely.
• Disagreements with moderation decisions should be handled in private — not argued out in posts or comment threads.
