Safety & Reporting

We care deeply about the safety of our Discord community and encourage you to contact us for any concerns within the Discord community. Your use of Mouthful is subject to Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and our Terms of Service. If you are found in violation of either these Guidelines or our Terms of Service, Mouthful may remove offending content, permanently terminate your account, notify law enforcement, or take legal action against you. If your account is terminated or disabled for violating our Terms of Service or these Guidelines, you may not use the Service again or create a new account without Mouthful’s express written consent.

Rule 0: Speak English Only.

All discussions must be held in English. Users showing a language barrier may be asked by staff to take a Proficiency Test.

Rule 1: Be nice.

Be respectful in your interaction with other members. Welcome new members with kindness and empathy.

Rule 2: Be helpful.

Provide helpful feedback to other members. Focus on what the person is doing well when giving feedback (and not just what they can improve upon). Be specific, encouraging, and constructive.

Rule 3: Have fun.

Mouthful is a place for you to enjoy and be yourself. Whether you are speaking, listening, playing, or collaborating with others - just remember to have fun! And of course, also respect the rights of others to do the same.

Rule 4: Be culturally sensitive.

Remember that Mouthful is a global community. What may seem fun or harmless to you could be perceived differently by another member. Conversely, what's considered offensive or objectionable in your culture may be part of normal conversational topics for others. Strive for a balance: respect others' boundaries while also being open to diverse perspectives. If misunderstandings arise, approach them with patience and a willingness to learn.

Rule 5: Keep your account secure.

You are responsible for any activity that occurs on your account, so make sure you keep your account secure. Immediately contact moderators if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or breach of security.

Rule 6: Talk to us.

You are an integral part of what makes this community great. Moderate your own behavior and report others who are not adhering to the rules by contacting moderators. Let staff know if you ever have any general questions in the get-help channel.

Rule 7: Don't be a bully.

This goes hand-in-hand with being respectful. Mouthful is not a venue for you to harass, abuse, or intimidate others. In fact, it’s never okay for you to harass, abuse, or intimidate others. Never.

Rule 8: Prohibition of objectionable content.

Mouthful reserves the right to review and moderate any content shared within the community—this includes, but is not limited to, posts, spoken words at events and casual chats, username, "About Me", and social media connections. Content that is flagged by members of Mouthful or identified by moderators will be scrutinized and may be removed if deemed inappropriate or unsafe for the community, or if it violates the community rules or Terms of Service. Users may face removal and potential bans if they share content that:

  1. Bullies, harasses, threatens, intimidates, abuses, or demeans others.
  2. Promotes bigotry, discrimination, hatred, intolerance, or racism.
  3. Contains pornographic, obscene, or vulgar material.
  4. Is hateful, offensive, or designed to shock or disturb.
  5. Incites or glorifies violence.
  6. Is fraudulent, false, deceptive, misleading, or defamatory.
  7. Jeopardizes another user’s security or privacy.

Rule 9:Don’t be a troll or drama instigator.

Avoid becoming a burden or a source of ongoing problems for our community. If you are found to be toxic, consistently creating unnecessary drama, undermining the community’s core mission, or using your account to violate the Terms of Service or jeopardize the safety or privacy of our users, your account will be subject to sanctions, up to and including a ban.

Rule 10: Don’t spam, solicit, promote, or research on our users.

We strictly prohibit any form of spamming, soliciting, self-promotion, or marketing research within the Service. This includes, but is not limited to:

  1. Invites to other Discord servers
  2. Promoting or selling products and services like apps, speculative investments, or artwork
  3. Sending mass messages to non-friends or unsolicited friend requests
  4. Recruiting attendees for presentations without meeting minimum activity requirements or using approved rehearsal channels
  5. Gathering information about our users through surveys or other methods
  6. Asking members to test beta versions of products or prototypes
  7. Asking for social media followers or subscribers
  8. Soliciting attendees for external events or activities
  9. Trying to recruit or poach our community staff

You are solely responsible for any messages you send through Mouthful. As Mouthful serves solely as a technology platform, you agree to indemnify and hold Mouthful harmless from any claims arising from your messages.

Rule 11: Don't give away sensitive information like your password and account information.

At Mouthful we work hard to protect your privacy. Be cautious if anyone requests your personal or account information.

Rule 12: Don't disrespect the rights or privacy of others.

By the same token, don’t "dox" or disclose anyone else’s personal information. Don't record, screenshot, upload, or livestream images, videos or audios of anyone without the express consent of that person. Don’t solicit another user’s login credentials or use any other person’s account without permission.

Rule 13: Don’t engage in "brigading".

Don't direct other users to target or flag a particular user (or group of users) in an attempt to get the user’s content (or account) removed from Mouthful. If you feel another user is violating Mouthful’s Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, please contact our moderators.

Rule 14: Don’t disrespect Mouthful.

Don’t post content or engage in any activity that encourages other users to violate our Terms of Service or the Guidelines, and do not try to restrict, discourage, or inhibit anyone who is eligible to use Mouthful from using the Service. Don’t monitor the Service’s availability or functionality or use the Service for any competitive purpose, including the development of competing products.

Rule 15: Refrain from any and all other illegal and unauthorized activity.

You may not use the Service for any illegal or unlawful purposes, or take any action that harms the Service or the use of the Service by others. In particular, you may not, for any reason whatsoever:

  1. Gain unauthorized access to the Service, to other users’ accounts or personal identifiable information, or to other computers or websites connected or linked to the Service.
  2. Delete, alter, or make unauthorized copies of any content made available on or through any part of the Service.
