Flippity Board Community Policy

This Community Policy is part of the Flippity Board Terms of Service and applies to all community features.

1. Community goals

Flippity Board exists to help people create, share, and enjoy split-flap display content. Treat others with respect and do not use Flippity Board to harm, target, or exploit people.

2. Who can use community features

2.1 General access

Users can participate in community features as they are made available, including saved boards, shared designs, and collaborative features.

2.2 Users under 18

If Flippity Board knows or reasonably believes you are under 18, we may apply additional restrictions by default for safety and privacy. These restrictions may change over time.

3. Respect and conduct standards

You may not use Flippity Board to harass, threaten, discriminate against, stalk, or harm others.

The following are prohibited:

  • Hate speech, slurs, or degrading content targeting protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or similar attributes
  • Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory conduct or content

  • Scams, phishing, or deceptive attempts to obtain money, accounts, or personal information
  • Spam, commercial solicitation, or abusive promotion where posting is available

4. Names and board content

Your display name and any shared board content must comply with this Policy. This includes attempts to use otherwise neutral characters or symbols to form offensive imagery or messages.

We may require you to change a name or remove content, and repeated violations may lead to suspension or termination.

5. Abuse of systems

You may not:

  • Use bots, automation, or fabricated data to abuse the Service
  • Use multiple accounts or coordinated manipulation
  • Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities to gain an advantage
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or disrupt the Service

6. Shared content

Shared boards and exported content must not include harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, discriminatory content, or calls to unsafe behavior. We may limit or remove content at any time.

7. Reporting and enforcement

7.1 Reporting

You can report users or content by emailing info@flippityboard.com.

7.2 Enforcement actions

We may take enforcement action at our discretion, including:

  • Issuing warnings for minor or first-time violations
  • Removing or limiting content visibility
  • Restricting features such as saving or sharing boards
  • Suspending or terminating accounts

We may act with or without notice, especially for safety-related issues or severe violations.

7.3 No guarantee of perfect enforcement

We do not guarantee that all violations will be caught or addressed immediately.

7.4 Appeals

If you believe an enforcement action was taken in error, you may contact info@flippityboard.com with relevant details within 30 days of the action. We may, but are not required to, reverse an enforcement action.

7.5 Child safety and mandatory reporting

Flippity Board has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or the exploitation of minors. If we become aware of CSAM or suspected exploitation of minors on the Service, we will report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by law and cooperate with law enforcement.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to address new features, risks, or legal requirements. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance.
