You may only bump your topic once every two (2) days, from the date of the last post.
Responding to any content with "thanks", "good", "cool", "welcome", or anything of the sort is considered spam.

Intolerance and Discrimination​

Disability NJ Chat does not tolerate any form of hate or discrimination.
The Disability NJ Chat ecosystem welcomes diversity in race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, and other groups. Don’t demean, marginalize, use hateful language against, or belittle other users or groups.

Bullying and Harassment​

Respect other people - when chatting, messaging or creating. Interacting with others in a way that is predatory, threatening, intimidating, demeaning, derogatory, invasive of privacy, or abusive is against the rules. Trying to make someone else feel worse so you feel better doesn’t work - It is much easier, and more fun, to enjoy the experience together!

Impersonation​

Don’t impersonate other members, streamers, celebrities, government officials, Disability NJ Chat employees, or anyone else. And don’t take credit for another member or entity’s creation. Pretending to be someone else in order to deceive or defraud others is not okay.

Dangerous or Illegal Activities​

Don’t participate in or encourage illegal or dangerous activities within the community, including gambling, illegal drug use, phishing, human trafficking, prostitution, doxing, swatting, or sharing content that glorifies or incites violence. Threats of harm to yourself or others are taken seriously—don’t make them, especially as a joke. If you see something that puts other members at risk, call 911 or any other service when reporting..

Scams and Deceptive Practices​

Disability NJ Chat members Do not take advantage of fellow members . Scams or deceptive practices are prohibited, including seeking account information, and buying or selling accounts or personal information.

Safety and Security​

Keep account information safe and private. Giving access to your account puts you at risk. If something seems suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is. There’s no such thing as free V-Bucks. Do not share your account information or the account information of others.
When it comes to safety within the Disability NJ Chat and staying secure we believe in providing you all the tools necessary. You can find a full set of all the things you can do to better protect yourself and what we currently do to keep you safe in our community.

Inappropriate Content​

Content, communications, and activity in the Disability NJ Chat ecosystem shouldn’t keep others from having positive experiences. All content must follow the Content Guidelines.

Child Endangerment​

Child Sexual Exploitation or Abuse
Disability NJ Chat prohibits any child sexual exploitation or abuse (CSEA) content or activity on its services.
CSEA refers to any content or activity that harms or threatens to harm a child through sexual exploitation, trafficking, extortion, grooming, or abuse. A child is defined as anyone under 18 years old of age (or the legal age of majority).
Prohibited actions include creating, requesting, or sharing content that contains:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), which is child pornography. Child pornography is any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor, including self-generated CSAM and highly realistic-appearing digital or AI-generated content.
• Sexualization of a minor, which is content that sexualizes a child in a way that promotes or encourages the sexual exploitation of children. Sexualization includes depictions of a child engaging in behavior that is intended to be sexually arousing or positioned in a way that is sexually suggestive (e.g., intentionally emphasizing clothed intimate body parts like breasts to draw attention to those parts).
• Child trafficking, which is advertising or soliciting a child for a commercial sex act. A commercial sex act is where a person gives or receives a thing of value (e.g., money, food, drugs, a place to stay) in exchange for sexual activity.

This also includes predatory behavior towards children, like:

• Child grooming, which is contacting, talking with, or befriending a child with the intent to ask for or offer sexual contact or share content for sexual purposes.
• Sextortion, which is threatening or blackmailing a child with the possibility of having access to or sharing nude or sexual images of them.

Upon discovering content containing child sexual exploitation and abuse, Disability NJ Chat reports it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Child Safety
Disability NJ Chat does not allow content or behavior directed to minors that may put them at risk of harm.
This includes content or behavior that requests, instructs, or promotes:

• Eating disorders and negative body image, which includes dangerous weight-loss or weight-management behaviors or belittling a child because of their body type. A weight-management behavior is considered dangerous if it is likely to create a significant and immediate or long-term health risk (e.g., anorexia, bulimia).
• Dangerous activities and challenges, which includes portraying activities in the real-world that involve visible or imminent serious physical harm or if imitated would likely lead to serious physical harm.
• Drugs and alcohol, which includes illegal drugs, prescription and over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, synthetic nicotine products (like vapes and E-cigarettes), and other regulated substances not suitable for consumption by children.
• Sex products and services, which includes sex products (e.g., sexual aids or guides) and sexual services (e.g., sex-related entertainment and escort services).
• Suicide and self-harm, which includes sharing or promoting plans for physical self-harm.
• Interactions targeted at a child that endanger their physical safety, such as planning to meet with a child face-to-face or luring a child off-platform to chat, in order to subject them to harm.

Consequences​

The type of action we’ll take for a particular violation of these rules is determined on a case-by-case basis. We’ll look at severity, whether you’re a repeat offender, and other factors. Action taken can be anything from a warning for less severe offenses, a loss of access to social features such as voice chat and adding friends, or all the way up to a permanent account ban. If your account is permanently banned, you may lose all rights to Disability NJ Chat account, or other messages that you may have created or participate in any topic of this community. If you have multiple accounts, we may take action against all of your accounts.
