Community Guidelines

Last updated 11 June 2026

Recsy is for sharing things you love. These guidelines keep the place welcoming. They apply to every post, comment, message and rec.

What's encouraged

  • Real recommendations with a personal "why".
  • Original photos and writing — credit creators when you share theirs.
  • Disagreement that's specific and kind.

What's not allowed

  • Harassment, hate or threats targeting people for who they are.
  • Sexual content involving minors — reported to authorities, account removed.
  • Adult sexual content, graphic violence, or self-harm content posted to encourage it.
  • Illegal activity — selling regulated goods, fraud, doxxing, copyright infringement.
  • Spam, scams, manipulated metrics, fake engagement, bot accounts.
  • Impersonation of real people or brands you don't represent.
  • Misinformation that could cause real-world harm (health, elections, emergencies).

Promoted content

Ads are always labelled "Promoted". They follow the same rules above plus our Advertiser Terms.

How we enforce

  • Report any post by tapping the menu → Report. We aim to review reports within 72 hours.
  • Depending on severity we may remove the content, warn the user, suspend, or permanently ban.
  • We'll tell you when we take action on your content and why (Statement of Reasons), and you can appeal by replying to that email.
  • Serious illegal content is referred to law enforcement.

Appeals

If we remove your content or your account, you can appeal within 30 days. We will review with a human and respond.

Intellectual property

If you believe content infringes your copyright, send a notice to copyright@recsysocial.app with the work, the URL, your contact details and a statement of good faith. We'll act under UK copyright law.
