Removal of Vigilantes

Last updated

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

• 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
