RULE 2.2READING / 4 PARAGRAPHS

Boundaries & Unwanted Contact

Stop an interaction when someone clearly asks you to stop, leave them alone, changes the subject, blocks you, or otherwise communicates a boundary. Do not recruit others, create alternate accounts, or move platforms to continue the contact.

A boundary must be reasonable and specific; it cannot be used to control unrelated public participation. Staff may separate users, restrict replies, or direct both parties not to engage while a conflict is reviewed.

Repeated mentions, reply-pings, reactions, following between channels, monitoring activity, or indirect posts obviously aimed at a person can constitute unwanted contact even without naming them.

A block, mute, or no-contact direction must not be bypassed through group chats, mutual friends, bots, gifts, transactions, or public posts crafted to demand a response.
