Acceptable Use Policy

This policy forms part of the Terms of Service and applies to everyone who uses CrowdCue, whether you run an event or join one.

What must not be posted

Do not post, or use CrowdCue to distribute, anything that:

• Harasses or attacks a person — threats, intimidation, sexual harassment, or abuse aimed at a speaker, an organizer or another attendee.
• Is hateful — content attacking people over race, ethnicity, caste, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or any comparable characteristic.
• Exposes private information — anyone’s address, phone number, identity documents, financial or medical details, whether yours or somebody else’s.
• Is illegal — content that infringes copyright, breaches confidentiality or trade secrets, defames someone, or breaks any applicable law.
• Sexualises children, in any form. This is reported, not just removed.
• Is spam — advertising, promotional links, repetitive flooding, or content unrelated to the event.
• Contains malware or links intended to phish or deceive.

Do not game the system

• Do not manufacture votes — clearing cookies, using multiple devices or automating requests to push a question up the list.
• Do not attempt to reach events, accounts or data that are not yours.
• Do not run automated traffic against the service beyond ordinary human use, or attempt to degrade it for others.

If you run events

• You are the first moderator. Hide or delete anything on this list as soon as you see it. Deleting removes a question and its votes permanently; hiding takes it off the screen but keeps the record.
• Do not use CrowdCue to collect sensitive personal data — health, financial, biometric or identity information — or to run an event whose purpose is to target an individual.
• Do not mislead your audience about how anonymous they are. Questions are anonymous to other attendees and to you unless someone adds a name; be straight with people about what you can see.

What happens when this is broken

Depending on how serious it is, we may:

• Remove the content.
• Close an event.
• Suspend or terminate an organizer’s account.
• Report the matter to law enforcement where the law requires or clearly warrants it.

We aim to be proportionate and, where it is reasonable, to say why. But we do not have a moderation team watching every event in real time — the organizer’s own tools are the fast path, and this policy is what we act on when something is escalated to us.

Reporting something

If you see content that breaks this policy and the organizer is not dealing with it, email apps@tanayarya.com. Include the event code and roughly when it was posted, and quote the content if you can — since questions are anonymous by design, that is usually what we need to find it. Reports about child safety or a credible threat to someone are handled first.
