Flow Club is a diverse community of people from many backgrounds, so please be polite, professional, and respectful in your interactions with other members. No personal attacks, insults, bullying, or harassment. Be tolerant of different ways of engaging with others. Respect each other's boundaries; if someone doesn't want to share information with you, don't push further. Don’t be disruptive.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for any attacks, bigotry, or discrimination against a person or group based on their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Don't share anyone's personal information and respect their privacy, which includes using their Display Name even if you know them by a different name offline. If you do share information from a session, make sure you anonymize it. Doxxing is considered a serious violation.
People are here to focus on their work and tasks; topics like politics and religion can cause arguments and inflame tensions when the goal is to stay in the flow. There should be no political or religious messages or images in your backgrounds, bio, or display name. Avoid discussing these topics in sessions.
It isn't appropriate to flirt, seek a date, or make comments on people's appearance, affect, or presentation (positive or negative). Clothing should be 'safe for work' and absolutely no nudity.
Members come to Flow Club to focus on their own projects, so please keep the sessions as a pitch, promotion, and solicitation-free zone. If connections develop organically — great! But make sure the interest is reciprocated and if you don’t hear back, then assume the answer is no and don’t pursue this any further.
Part of being in a community is knowing how to address each other. While no one should feel obligated to reveal their full identity unless they choose to do so, human sounding names are useful in showing our humanity to other humans. Your Display Name doesn't have to match the one on your birth certificate or ID, but should be a human sounding name. For instance, if your name is Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, you could go by Elizabeth, Lizzie T, Beth, Liz, Rosemond, Taylor, or even ET. All of these options work well as a Display Name, however, names like 'The Dame,' 'violeteyes,' or 'actress1932' are not suitable choices.
We understand that if you're experiencing a crisis and having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, it's important to reach out to people for support. However, it's not possible to know who else might be experiencing these issues, and your outreach could potentially trigger their own crisis. Additionally, they’re not trained to provide the help you need and could inadvertently worsen the situation for you and cause trauma for themselves. If you're experiencing a crisis or emergency, please seek immediate help by contacting the following resources:
At Flow Club, we’re reliant on your reports to alert us to any issues and enforce guidelines. Every report you make will be reviewed by a person. If you feel that there is something that requires follow-up or further explanation, please feel free to email us at safety@flow.club.
We strongly recommend that once you find yourself in a situation where you need to report someone, you remove yourself from the session and avoid participating in future sessions involving that person.
We believe that our members have made a commitment to Flow Club and support what we're doing. We will work with them if there are any violations of our guidelines.
If we receive a report that we believe requires action, we'll take the following steps:
There may be instances where we ask you to rectify the problem, but if there is a matter of safety or extreme concern, such as a racial slur in someone's bio, we will take immediate action to remove it.
We believe that most of these guidelines represent standard good behavior when interacting with the people you work with. If you are still within your free trial period and have already violated our guidelines, we may assume that the Flow Club community is not the right fit for you, and we reserve the right to cancel your trial and permanently remove you from the app. [Please note that this action will be reversible in case of error.]
If you believe our decision was incorrect or if there is additional context, such as your parents actually naming you Violeteyes, please feel free to send us an appeal at any stage of the process. You can respond to the email you received or reach out to us at safety@flow.club.
