Usage and content policies: Rules for using Fixon

Be Real

Fixon profiles are intended to represent real people in a local area. Fixon member profiles must be honest and authentic.

Be Honest: Intentions, Affiliations, Transparency, Feedback & Ratings

All members should be open about who they are, their intentions, and their affiliations. All Fixon enterprise group and event descriptions should be accurate, so members can make informed decisions about their participation.

Event feedback and ratings are important indicators of a member's experience at a Fixon event, and are meant to offer relevant and valuable insights into an attendee's experience. All members should leave ratings or feedback that accurately reflects their experience at a Fixon event. For example, it is a violation of our policies to leave a negative event rating solely in an attempt to harm the ratings for someone you dislike.

Be Yourself: Fake Accounts & Impersonation

Creating fake accounts, malicious accounts, or accounts meant to impersonate another person, is prohibited on Fixon.

Be Respectful

Respecting people's time, attention, personal choices, and personal boundaries is essential to creating safe and trusting communities. Be respectful in interactions with people and in content posted on the platform. Fixon monitors and restricts behaviors that are dishonest, undermine the integrity of the platform, violate personal boundaries, or serve to intentionally upset people.

Message Respectfully: Don't Spam

Content sent to a member that is irrelevant, impersonal, unsolicited, promotional, or repetitive is spam.

Respect Block and Ban Decisions

If you're blocked, you're blocked. Members must accept and respect any organizer's decision to ban a member from a group or a member's decision to block another member from contacting them on Fixon. Members must also respect any decision from Fixon to suspend or terminate their account due to a policy violation. Creating new accounts to circumvent a block or ban decision from an organizer, a member, or Fixon is prohibited. Additionally, you are not permitted to post content or promote events on behalf of a member that has been banned or blocked from using Fixon."

Sexual Content and Nudity

Pornography is not allowed on Fixon. Publicly shared photos must be appropriate for general audiences. Nude or sexual photos are not allowed in public spaces.

Sex Solicitation and Prostitution

Fixon prohibits individuals from using the platform to proposition for sex or to promote or engage in prostitution. For policies on events that may contain such content, please refer to the "Pornography, nudity, or sexual content" and "Mature interests that are not transparent" sections in Fixon's events policies.

Shocking, Disturbing, and Violent Content

Gratuitously graphic, disgusting, obscene, or violent content is prohibited. We don't allow content posted to upset, shock, or disturb members of a Fixon Enterprise group or Fixon members.

Child Exploitation

Fixon has a zero tolerance policy regarding child nudity of any kind, pornography, or anything Fixon believes exploits, sexualizes, or fetishizes minors. Such content will be removed from the platform and the uploader will be banned. Fixon reports all child pornography to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Respect Privacy: Don't Post Other People's Private Information

Posting private information of other members without their explicit consent is prohibited.

Members and organizers should always be mindful of privacy and use discretion when sharing any private content that belongs to themselves or to other members. For example, phone numbers, social security numbers, addresses, financial information, passwords, and government identification are considered private information.

Be Kind

Bullying, harassment, exploitation, and acts of hate undermine community building in safe spaces where people can trust one another. Building real relationships requires us to be more compassionate and kinder towards one another. Fixon enforces against behaviors that are threatening, intentionally malicious, or personally harmful--physically, emotionally, or mentally.

Be Compassionate: Don't Harass, Bully or Shame

Harassment and bullying are not allowed on Fixon. Fixon will honor requests to remove content that publicly shames or degrades a private individual.

Members should first contact the uploader or the organizer to request that content be removed.

Harassment is persistent or non-consensual contact from another member. Bullying is the intentional posting of mean content for the purpose of hurting or embarrassing another.

Fixon will honor requests to remove nude, lewd or shaming photos if the subject of that content reports it. Content targeting a public figure, organization, or anyone who has gained news attention, is not subject to these policies.

Act with Integrity: Do Not Manipulate or Exploit

Any attempt to use someone's insecurities or vulnerabilities for personal gain is considered manipulation or exploitation and is prohibited.

Hate and Supremacy

Hate speech, supremacy, or behavior that incites hate or violence against individuals or groups of people based on who they are or their beliefs, is prohibited.

Be Safe

All organizers and members should take ownership over their personal safety and should never put themselves or others in danger. We expect all organizers and members to be mindful of local laws when engaging with their groups. Where appropriate, organizers should also set guidelines for their events to ensure their members are participating safely.

No Threats, Violence, or Personal Endangerment

Using Fixon to promote, facilitate, or organize violent, criminal, or non-consensual actions that endanger anyone, physically, mentally, or emotionally, is prohibited.

Fixon reserves the right to remove credible explicit and implicit threats of violence or aggression and revoke the membership of the user who made them.

Harmful Misinformation

The dissemination or promotion of misinformation is prohibited. This includes claims that have been scientifically disproven and that may pose a public or personal health risk.

Self-Injury

Fixon does not allow any content that encourages or glorifies self-injury or encourages others to harm themselves.

Copyright and IP

Intellectual Property

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. Posting content that violates another party's intellectual property rights is prohibited.

When provided with the requisite information, Fixon will remove or disable access to material that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others or remove accounts of those who may be repeat infringers. Please note that simply hosting an event around a similar topic in a shared location is generally not considered a violation of our policies.
