A community worth protecting.

Do not target people with repeated abuse, intimidation, humiliation, degrading insults or coordinated attacks. Criticism and disagreement are allowed; harassment is not.

• No bullying, threats, stalking, dog-piling or calls for others to harass someone.
• No hateful attacks or dehumanizing content directed at people because of protected or vulnerable characteristics.
• No sexual harassment, unwanted sexual comments, coercive behavior or non-consensual sexualized content.
• No posts created mainly to ridicule, expose or shame a private person.

Do not threaten physical harm, celebrate real-world violence, organize violent activity or encourage dangerous conduct. Content documenting a serious event for legitimate informational, educational or safety purposes may be treated differently from content that glorifies or encourages harm.

• No credible threats or instructions intended to facilitate violence.
• No encouragement of dangerous challenges, reckless behavior or acts likely to cause physical injury.
• No praise, recruitment or operational support for violent extremist activity.

Sexual exploitation, grooming, sexualization of minors, child sexual abuse material and attempts to obtain sexual material from minors are prohibited. These issues are treated as high priority and may be escalated where required by law or appropriate for safety.

See the dedicated Child Safety Standards for the platform’s specific safety expectations and reporting routes.

Do not publish or threaten to publish sensitive personal information in a way that could expose someone to harm, harassment, fraud or unwanted contact.

• No home addresses, private phone numbers, passwords, access credentials, government identifiers or financial information shared to target another person.
• Do not secretly share intimate images or private communications where sharing would violate another person’s rights or reasonable expectation of privacy.
• Use care when filming or streaming in classrooms, offices, residences or other spaces where people may reasonably expect privacy.

For information about platform data practices, read the Privacy Policy.

Do not pretend to be another student, employee, organization, TUP office, public authority or CommunityStack representative. Parody or commentary should be clear enough that a reasonable person would not mistake it for an official identity.

• No phishing pages, fake login screens, credential theft or deceptive links.
• No scams, fraudulent fundraising, false prize claims or payment schemes.
• No fake accounts or coordinated behavior designed to mislead people about who is speaking or how popular content really is.

Community tools should not be overwhelmed by repetitive, automated or manipulative activity. Do not post the same content repeatedly, mass-message unsolicited promotions, buy or sell fake engagement, or coordinate artificial reactions, comments or follows.

Promotional content should be relevant, transparent and proportionate. Accounts that exist primarily to spam the community may be restricted.

MyTUP Social is a university community platform, not an adult-content service. Pornographic content, sexual services, sexual exploitation, sextortion and non-consensual intimate imagery are not appropriate for the platform.

Educational, health, newsworthy or documentary discussion may be permitted when the context is legitimate and the presentation is not exploitative.

Supportive conversations about mental health and recovery are welcome. Content that encourages, celebrates, instructs or pressures someone to self-harm is not. Where there appears to be an immediate real-world danger, contact local emergency services or an appropriate trusted person rather than relying on a social-platform report alone.

MyTUP Social should help students learn and connect—not bypass academic rules or security controls. Do not use the platform to sell exam answers, distribute stolen assessment material, solicit unauthorized access to university systems, share account credentials or facilitate academic misconduct.

Questions about official academic rules, student discipline or university procedures should be checked against the official TUP website and applicable university policies.

If you use marketplace or transaction-related features, describe items honestly and deal fairly. Do not list stolen or counterfeit goods, weapons, illegal drugs, sexual services, fraudulent documents or other goods or services that are unlawful or inappropriate for a university community platform.

Never send money, credentials or sensitive information merely because another user pressures you to act quickly. Report suspicious listings or payment requests through Support.

Post material you created, are authorized to share, or are legally permitted to use. Do not upload another person’s photos, videos, lectures, documents, music, software or creative work in a way that infringes their rights.

Attribution does not automatically create permission. If you are unsure, link to the original source or obtain authorization before reposting substantial material.

The same standards apply regardless of format. A rule does not stop applying because content is temporary, sent by direct message, shared in a private group, broadcast live, embedded in a profile, or posted as a comment, clip, image or listing.

Private or limited-audience spaces are not a license for harassment, exploitation, fraud or other prohibited conduct.
