Community rules (draft)

Last updated 6 November 2026. This page describes Rise Beside as it is today, while it’s in development. It will be updated, and reviewed by a lawyer, before accounts or payments launch.

Community groups aren’t live yet. These are the planned rules.

• Be kind. No harassment, bullying or targeted abuse.
• No threats, scams, selling, or offering drugs or alcohol.
• Don’t encourage anyone to drink, use or harm themselves.
• No graphic descriptions, or instructions for getting, using or hiding drugs.
• Don’t share anyone’s real name, contact details or location, including your own.

Talking about setbacks or difficult feelings, or asking for support, is welcome and never on its own a reason to remove a message. Moderators would review messages during set hours, and not all the time. Nicknames protect your identity from other members, but don’t guarantee anonymity.
