Quabble Community Guidelines

Our Mission

1. Quabble provides a safe, inclusive space for members to express their authentic selves, sharing feelings of loneliness, low self-confidence, anxiety, and other mental wellness challenges. We believe a supportive community can make a meaningful difference, allowing members to feel understood and encouraged.

   
   

2. Our mission is to foster an environment where everyone feels valued and heard, creating a culture of empathy, support, and positivity.

Core Values

1. Empathy
   Understand and share the feelings of others.

   Example: Before responding, consider the experiences shared by others. Rather than saying, “That’s not a big deal,” try: “I can imagine that must feel challenging for you.”

   
   

2. Respect
   Treat all members with dignity and kindness, regardless of differences in perspective or experience.

   Example: Avoid interrupting someone’s story with your own opinions or judgments. Instead, listen and respond with understanding.

   
   

3. Authenticity
   Be genuine in your expressions and interactions.

   Example: Share your true thoughts and experiences instead of posting what you think others want to hear. For instance, “I’m feeling a bit lost right now” can be more impactful than trying to stay positive if that doesn’t reflect how you feel.

   
   

4. Encouragement
   Offer support and positivity to fellow members.

   Example: Instead of simply “liking” a post, leave a comment of encouragement, such as, “You’ve got this! One step at a time.”

   
   

5. Privacy
   Respect the confidentiality of shared experiences.

   Example: If someone shares a personal story, keep it within the Quabble community and don’t share it elsewhere without permission.

Our goal is to maintain a supportive and safe space for all users.

3. Content Beyond Community Focus

   
   

   1. Privacy & Personal Information
      To help keep your experience safe, we recommend not sharing personal information with others. If you decide to share details like your social media account to connect with someone, please do so thoughtfully and with care. Please be aware that the Company cannot take responsibility for anything that may result from sharing personal information. Your privacy and safety matter, so we encourage you to make informed choices when deciding what to share.

      
      

   2. Off-Topic Content
      Stay focused on the community’s core themes, such as mental wellness, self-care, and support. Unrelated content should be kept to designated areas, if available.

      
      

   3. Spam or Advertising
      Do not post spam, advertisements, or promotional content. Keep contributions genuine and relevant.

      
      

   4. Meaningless or Testing Text
      Avoid posting meaningless or testing text such as “asdfasdf” or “testtest.”

Moderation and Reporting

1. AI Moderation
   All that you write is encrypted so that humans developing and managing the Quabble system can’t see what you write. Instead, Quabble’s AI automatically moderates the community to ensure adherence to these guidelines. Content indicating self-harm or suicidal ideation may be removed, and resources for crisis services are provided. Quabble is not equipped for crisis intervention.

   
   

2. Reporting
   If you see a violation of our policy, please report it using our reporting tools. We rely on members to help maintain a safe environment.

   
   

3. Feedback

   We welcome feedback on our community policy and encourage members to contribute to its evolution.

Privacy and Responsibility
We respect the privacy of all members, but in situations involving potential harm, we prioritize safety. Users are responsible for seeking professional or emergency help in times of crisis.
