Seldeo is a place to share your life — the big moments, the small ones, the ones in between — with the people who matter to you. That works when everyone acts like a guest in a friend's home: honest, considerate, and mindful of the people around them. These Community Guidelines describe the behaviour we expect and what happens when the line is crossed.
If you break these rules, we may remove content, restrict features, suspend an account, or ban it permanently. Serious violations — including child-safety risks, terrorism, credible threats of violence, and non-consensual intimate imagery — may result in permanent account action and reports where required by law.
Safety
Seldeo should never be a place where people are hurt, threatened, or endangered. You may not use Seldeo to:
- Threaten violence against a specific person, group, or place.
- Encourage or plan self-harm, or promote suicide as a coping strategy. Sharing honestly about your own experience is welcome and encouraged — see Safety for support resources.
- Endanger a child. Sexualisation of a minor, grooming behaviour, or content that puts a child at physical risk may result in content removal, permanent account action, and reporting where required by law.
- Coordinate real-world violence, including planning, celebrating, or providing operational support for it.
- Promote or facilitate illegal activity, including drug sales, weapons trafficking, human trafficking, exchange of stolen goods, credential theft, or malware distribution.
Respect for other people
Seldeo is a community. Treat everyone the way you would want to be treated.
- No harassment. Repeated unwanted contact, coordinated pile-ons, or targeting people because of who they are is not allowed.
- No hate speech. You may not attack people because of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, disability, or serious medical condition.
- No impersonation. Do not pretend to be a specific real person or organisation.
- No doxxing. Do not share private information (home address, workplace, personal phone number, government ID, medical records) about someone else without their consent.
Sensitive material and viewer access
Ordinary non-graphic educational, documentary, medical, and artistic material may be available to users who meet the applicable local signup minimum, which is 13+ in recognized non-strict regions and a 16+ DOB screen in Australia. Non-sexual contextual material may also be allowed when it is not used to exploit or endanger anyone. This does not mean users' ages are verified or that mature-content access is age-gated. At release, content controls are intended to block sexual nudity, pornography, and extreme graphic violence; material that cannot be confidently classified may be held for staff review. Contextual material may still be restricted or removed under these Guidelines.
- Sexual nudity and pornography are prohibited, whether or not participants are adults or consented.
- Non-consensual intimate imagery — including images shared without the subject's consent or images depicting sexual violence — is prohibited.
- Underage nudity and sexual content involving a minor are prohibited. No exceptions.
- Extreme graphic violence and gratuitous depictions of severe injury or death are prohibited. Non-graphic reporting, education, and historical or artistic context may be allowed; we do not offer verified-age access to mature material.
Authenticity and integrity
For Seldeo to be useful, what you see needs to be trustworthy.
- No spam — including bulk unsolicited DMs, scam messages, or artificial engagement.
- No fake-engagement services. Buying followers, likes, or comments is grounds for account restriction.
- No manipulated media presented as real when the manipulation would materially mislead viewers (for example, a deep-faked speech attributed to a real person). Clearly marked satire, parody, and creative editing are welcome.
- No misinformation about civic processes (voting, census, immigration status) that could cause real-world harm.
Intellectual property
Respect what belongs to others.
- Only post content you own or have permission to share.
- We honour DMCA takedowns. Counter-notice is available if you believe your content was removed in error.
- Music used in reels and stories comes from our licensed catalog. Do not upload copyrighted music that is not in the catalog.
How we enforce
Reports submitted through the in-app contextual sheet generate an email alert for human staff action. There is no moderator web console. Post owners can use Contact support on a moderated post to request human review; sending a request does not automatically restore content. We do not promise a response schedule, particular review outcome or outcome notification. Posts, stories and comments are checked after publication and can be visible before detection. Automated tools do not guarantee detection of every violation. See How content reports work for scanner limitations and the review process. We may restrict or remove content or accounts when appropriate.
Repeat violations
Twenty definite rejected publication versions within a rolling 24-hour window trigger a 24-hour restriction on original posts, stories, comments and content edits. Uncertain reviews and scanner failures do not count. Browsing, likes, messaging, support, deletion and sharing existing content remain available; a restricted repost cannot add a new caption or media. Staff can reverse mistaken strikes after human review. Further or serious violations may lead to additional action, including permanent account action.
Reporting
Report content or accounts through the in-app contextual sheet where available. You may also contact safety@seldeo.com for human staff action. See our Safety page for guidance. We do not promise a response time.
