Community Guidelines

Welcome to the AfroMax community! We are excited to have you on our platform, an 18+ space where creativity, authenticity, and inclusivity shine. AfroMax is a unique platform that brings together social media, dating, and events for an engaging experience. To ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable, and empowering experience, we've established these Community Guidelines. By using AfroMax, you agree to follow these rules. Let's make AfroMax a space where everyone can thrive!

1. Be Respectful

AfroMax is a diverse and inclusive platform that celebrates creators and users from all walks of life. We expect all users to treat each other with respect. This means:

• Refraining from hate speech, discrimination, tribalism, or harassment based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, or any other personal characteristic.
• Abstaining from "Diaspora Wars" - content that pits different Black communities against each other or promotes division within the African diaspora.
• Engaging in constructive and positive conversations, even when sharing differing opinions.
• Respecting boundaries, consent, and the privacy of others at all times, especially when engaging with the dating or events features.

2. Keep It Safe

Your safety and the safety of our community are our top priorities. As such, the following behaviors are not allowed:

• Posting or sharing content that promotes violence, self-harm, or dangerous activities.
• Engaging in or encouraging cyberbullying, threats, or intimidation.
• Sharing private or personally identifiable information (e.g., addresses, phone numbers) without consent.
• Using the dating feature to harass, manipulate, or exploit others in any way.

3. Share Authentic and Creative Content

AfroMax is a space to showcase your talents, stories, and ideas. We encourage you to share authentic and original content. However, please avoid:

• Plagiarizing or copying content from other creators without proper credit or permission.
• Spreading false information, rumors, or misleading content.
