Removal of Vigilantes

Last updated 1/11/2025

What is vigilante behavior?

Vigilante behavior on Swivvia refers to users who take enforcement into their own hands rather than using proper reporting channels. This includes:

• Publicly shaming or "calling out" other users for alleged violations

• Organizing mass reporting campaigns against specific users

• Creating posts targeting individuals for perceived rule-breaking

• Threatening other users with consequences

• Impersonating moderators or staff

While we appreciate our community's desire to keep Swivvia safe, vigilante behavior:

• Often targets innocent users based on misunderstandings

• Creates a hostile environment

• Undermines our professional moderation team

• Can constitute harassment or bullying

• Violates the trust and safety of the platform

Instead of taking matters into your own hands:

1. Use the Report button — Every post, comment, and profile has a report option

2. Provide details — The more context you give, the faster we can act

3. Contact support — For urgent safety concerns

4. Trust the process — Our team reviews all reports within 24 hours

• First offense: Warning and content removal

• Second offense: 7-day account restriction

• Third offense: 30-day suspension

• Continued violations: Permanent ban
