Content Moderation Policy

Copyrighted Material

Content that violates intellectual property rights, including unauthorized sharing of copyrighted books, articles, or educational materials without proper licensing or attribution. Users must have the right to share any material they upload.

Hate Speech and Discrimination

Content that promotes hatred, discrimination, or violence against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

Explicit and Adult Content

Pornographic, sexually explicit, or adult-oriented content is not permitted. Palnect is an educational platform intended for academic purposes only.

Spam and Misleading Content

Spam messages, promotional content, misleading information, phishing attempts, malware, or any content designed to deceive users or disrupt platform functionality.

Personal Information Sharing

Sharing of other users' personal information (email, phone number, home address, etc.) without consent. Doxxing and harassment through personal information disclosure are prohibited.

Exam Answers and Cheating Materials

Sharing exam questions, answer keys, or content designed to facilitate academic dishonesty or cheating. Palnect promotes legitimate learning and academic integrity.

User Reporting System

Users can report prohibited content through our in-app reporting feature. All reports are reviewed by our moderation team to determine if content violates our policies.

Manual Review Queue

Reported content enters a manual review queue where trained moderators assess the validity of the report and determine appropriate action within 24-48 hours.

Automated Flagging (Future)

We are implementing AI-powered automated flagging systems to detect prohibited content patterns and flag potentially violating content for immediate review.

Progressive Enforcement

Violations are handled through a three-tier system:

• Warning: First-time minor violations result in a warning and content removal. Users are notified of the violation and given guidelines for compliance.
• Suspension: Repeated violations or serious first-time violations result in temporary account suspension (7-30 days). Users cannot access the platform during this period.
• Permanent Ban: Severe violations, repeated suspensions, or egregious behavior result in permanent account termination. Banned users cannot create new accounts.
