Why Guidelines Exist
taron is a platform where Africans on the continent and in the diaspora discover experiences, build communities, and connect with people who share their interests. For that to work well for everyone, the platform operates according to shared standards. The Community Guidelines define what is acceptable and what is not — for hosts, attendees, and community members alike.
They are not arbitrary rules. They reflect the kind of platform taron is trying to be and the kind of experiences it is trying to enable.
What the Guidelines Cover
Events and experiences — Events on taron must be accurately described. Misleading event titles, fraudulent ticketing, and events designed to deceive are not permitted. Hosts are responsible for the accuracy of the experiences they list.
Community and Group conduct — Communities and Groups must be run in ways that are safe and constructive for their members. Harassment, hate speech, coordinated manipulation, and content that targets or demeans people are not acceptable.
Profiles and identity — Profiles must represent real people or organisations accurately. Impersonation, false identity, and fake accounts violate the guidelines.
Messaging — Direct messaging must not be used for spam, harassment, unsolicited bulk promotion, or any form of harmful communication.
Content — All content shared on taron — posts, event descriptions, community updates, profile bios — must comply with the guidelines. Content that promotes violence, illegal activity, or discrimination is not permitted.
How Guidelines Are Enforced
Community leaders enforce guidelines within their spaces. taron enforces platform-wide standards across all events, communities, and interactions. When a violation is confirmed, taron may remove content, restrict access, or take other actions appropriate to the severity of the issue.
Members can report violations using the report tools available throughout the platform.
Responsibility
Hosts are responsible for the events they create and the communities they build. Community leaders are responsible for the spaces they manage. Members are responsible for their own conduct and content. Shared responsibility keeps the platform working for everyone.
