Community Rules​

​

Introduction

Gladful is an anonymous Peer-to-Peer Support platform where any user can receive assistance with the click of a button. So that all Gladful community members can receive proper assistance, we've set up some rules for your safety. Make sure to read our full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy as well, as our rules are a summary and not meant to supplant our full terms.

 

We protect your privacy so that you can be authentic. While your personal privacy is always protected and only disclosed as required by and within the bounds of the law, boundaries on Gladful exist to ensure everyone feels welcomed and stays safe.

 

If you communicate with a “Co-Pilot” that dissociates from the Community Rules, please immediately report them. “Co-Pilots” have a one-strike policy and if they are reported they will be immediately removed from Gladful. “Co-Pilots” that are reported need to be reviewed by our team before they are removed. Through our reporting system, we rely on our community to help make Gladful a constructive platform for Peer-to-Peer Support.
