QrtzApp Community Guidelines
Introduction
QrtzApp exists to help people create, share, discover, and discuss content.
We believe communities thrive when people are free to express themselves, explore interests, and connect with others while respecting the safety and dignity of fellow users.
These Community Guidelines explain what is allowed on QrtzApp, what is not allowed, and how we approach moderation.
These Guidelines work alongside our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Copyright & DMCA Policy.
Our Principles
QrtzApp is built around a few core ideas:
- Creativity matters.
- Community matters.
- Context matters.
- People should be able to express themselves.
- People should be able to control their own experience.
- Safety and free expression can coexist.
Moderation decisions are guided by these principles.
Be Respectful
You do not have to agree with other users.
You do have to treat them like human beings.
Healthy disagreement, criticism, debate, satire, parody, and discussion are allowed.
Harassment, intimidation, and abuse are not.
What We Encourage
We encourage users to:
- Share original creations
- Reblog and discuss content
- Participate in fandoms
- Create art
- Share photography

QrtzApp works best when people contribute something meaningful.
Harassment and Abuse

- Sustained personal attacks
- Threats of violence

Intellectual Property
Only post content you have the right to share.
Do not:

Reblogs and Community Participation
QrtzApp is built around sharing and discussion.
Users may:
- Reblog public content
- Quote reblog public content
- Respond to public content
- Add commentary and criticism
- Participate in community discussions
When engaging with others:
- Criticize ideas rather than people whenever possible.
- Do not organize harassment.
- Respect requests to stop unwanted direct interactions.
Deleted Content and Derivative Content
QrtzApp recognizes the difference between redistribution and original expression.
When a user deletes original content:
- Pure redistributions may be removed or become unavailable.
- Quote reblogs and derivative content containing meaningful user-created expression may remain visible.
- When source material is no longer available, QrtzApp may replace it with an unavailable-content notice.
Users should understand that participating in public conversations may result in portions of those conversations remaining visible even if an earlier post is removed.
Privacy and Personal Information
Do not publish:
- Home addresses
- Phone numbers
- Government identification numbers
- Financial account information
- Private communications without authorization
- Other sensitive personal information
Even publicly available information may be removed if it is shared for the purpose of harassment or intimidation.
Reporting Content
If you encounter content that violates these Guidelines, use available reporting tools or contact QrtzApp.
Reports should be made in good faith.
Abuse of reporting systems may itself result in moderation action.
Enforcement
Moderation actions may include:
- Content removal
- Content warnings
- Visibility restrictions
- Temporary suspensions
- Permanent account termination
- Other actions necessary to protect the community
QrtzApp reserves the right to consider context, intent, severity, repetition, and user history when making moderation decisions.
Not every violation will result in the same outcome.
Appeals
Users may appeal moderation actions through available support channels.
Submitting an appeal does not guarantee reversal of a moderation decision.
Changes to These Guidelines
QrtzApp may update these Community Guidelines from time to time.
Updated versions become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated.
Continued use of the Service after updates become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Guidelines.
A Final Note
QrtzApp is a place for creativity, community, discussion, fandom, art, photography, writing, and self-expression.
Help us build the kind of community you would want to be part of.
