Community Guidelines

Treat all members with respect, empathy, and kindness.

We welcome creators of all backgrounds, identities, experience levels, and platforms. Discrimination, harassment, or hostility of any kind is not tolerated.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Hate speech or slurs
• Harassment, bullying, or intimidation
• Targeted attacks or dogpiling
• Dismissive or harmful language toward mental health experiences

We are a mental-health-aware community.

• Do not encourage self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, or dangerous behavior
• Do not give medical, psychological, or legal advice
• Do not present yourself as a licensed professional unless explicitly verified and approved by Next Level Together

Supportive conversation is welcome. Diagnosis, treatment, or crisis intervention is not.

If someone appears to be in crisis, encourage them to seek professional or emergency support rather than attempting to "fix" the situation.

To protect creators, we strictly prohibit:

• Scams or misleading offers
• Predatory "growth" schemes
• Fake partnerships or impersonation
• Unverified services claiming guaranteed results
• Pressure tactics or fear-based marketing

Self-promotion is allowed only in designated areas and must be honest, transparent, and respectful.

• Do not share private, personal, or identifying information (your own or others')
• Do not pressure members to disclose sensitive details
• Do not record, screenshot, or redistribute private conversations without consent

What's shared in the community should remain treated with care and respect.

We encourage:

• Thoughtful discussion
• Questions and learning
• Sharing experiences and resources
• Healthy disagreement when done respectfully

We discourage:

• Hostile debates
• Trolling or baiting
• Repeated negativity without constructive intent
• Disruptive behavior that undermines the space

In addition to these guidelines, all members must follow:

• Platform-specific rules (Discord, event spaces, workshops)
• Applicable laws and regulations
• Any posted rules for specific channels, events, or programs

Moderators and staff may set additional rules where appropriate.

Next Level Together reserves the right to take action to protect the community.

This may include:

• Content removal
• Warnings or temporary restrictions
• Role removal
• Permanent bans from the platform, Discord, or events

Actions are taken at the discretion of the moderation team and may be applied without prior warning in serious cases.

If you encounter behavior that violates these guidelines or makes you feel unsafe, please report it through the appropriate platform tools or contact our team directly.

We take reports seriously and aim to handle them fairly, respectfully, and confidentially.

A healthy community is a shared effort.

By participating in Next Level Together, you agree to:

• Act in good faith
• Respect others' experiences and boundaries
• Help maintain a space that supports growth, safety, and long-term well-being
