Community Guidelines

We're excited to have you here. To foster a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone, we ask that you follow these community guidelines when using the Tidalink platform.

1. Be Respectful

Engage respectfully with all users. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.

2. Foster a Positive Atmosphere

Promote constructive and encouraging dialogue. Avoid toxic behavior, trolling, or intentionally disruptive actions.

3. Share Appropriate Content

Do not post or promote content that is sexually explicit, violent, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate for a diverse audience.

4. Do Not Fake Log Sightings

To ensure the integrity of our platform and the authenticity of shared information, users must not fabricate or falsify log sightings to gain experience points (XP) or for any other dishonest purpose. Such behavior undermines the community's trust and will lead to temporary or even permanent account disabling.

5. Respect Privacy

Protect your own privacy and that of others. Do not share personal or sensitive information without explicit permission.

6. Respect Intellectual Property

Only share content you own or have permission to use. Always give proper credit when referencing or sharing others' work.

7. Respect the Ocean

Please observe all marine life responsibly. Do not touch, chase, or disturb wildlife. Tidalink encourages sustainable and ethical diving, snorkeling and marine observation practices that protect both the species and their habitats.

8. Reporting Violations

If you come across content or behavior that violates these guidelines, please report it using the tools provided or contact our moderation team directly. Your feedback helps us maintain a safe space.

9. Enforcement

Violation of these guidelines may result in content removal, warnings, temporary suspensions, temporary account disabling, or permanent account bans depending on the severity and frequency of the offense.

Thank you for helping us build a kind, curious, and respectful community for all ocean lovers!
