We do not allow behavior that aims to abuse another person, including threats, insults, or behavior that has as a goal to abuse, intimidate, humiliate, embarrass, degrade, attack, diminish, marginalize, dehumanize or cause severe emotional harm.

This includes the following types of behavior:

• Repeated severe insults directed towards another person when the other person has not consented to that kind of interaction, or has asked for that behavior to stop, or is not present and able to consent to that kind of interaction.
• Engaging in targeted repeated personal attacks targeting a person’s intelligence or physical attributes 
• Sharing or distributing media intending to abuse or humiliate another person
• Calling for a person or people to self-injure or end their lives
• Denying, minimizing, mocking, trivializing or distorting documented violent events, or the victims and their families targeted in those events
• Wishing harm or death on a person or people
• Glorifying, reveling in or mocking a person’s past trauma, abuse, injury or death
• Comparing a person or identifiable group to animals, insects or inanimate objects in a way that is pejorative and dehumanizing
• Engaging in or distributing simulations of acts of serious violence against a person or people

This list of behaviors is not exhaustive. When any of the behaviors above have a minor as a target, they are a violation of our Child Safety policy, which has more severe enforcement consequences.

We recognize that amongst friends, banter, slagging and trash talk, including vulgarity and sexual innuendo can be welcome by the people involved — as long as they are taking part in this consensually. They stop being fun and become abusive when there is no consent between the engaging parties.

We see the following as signs that a conversation or interaction has moved beyond playful banter towards abuse:

• It is not consensual – there is no history of interaction or friendship between the person targeted by the abuse and the person engaging in the abuse
• It once was consensual but is no longer consensual — the person targeted has already asked the person engaging in the abuse to stop the behavior
• It is consensual between participants but not with bystanders — the person targeted and the person engaging in the abuse may be mutually agreeing to this engagement but they have been asked by bystanders to stop or take it private

Harassment and behavior of anyone on Noice, regardless of their age, is against our Harassment and Bullying policy.

We take a particularly strict stance against bullying and harassment that targets a minor—as a result, any violations of our that target a minor will result in an immediate and indefinite suspension.

Sexual harassment is a particularly harmful and destructive behavior that can affect anyone and that can disproportionately affect women and non-binary individuals, and we take a strong stance against this form of behavior.
