In Detail,
 

At Hobbmate, we strive to create an fruitful, inspiring and healthy community for passionate people around the globe. But not all content is appropriate for a broad audience, so we created these guidelines to depict what kind of content we do and do not allow on Hobbmate. For this, you are required to follow all of these Community Guidelines listed below to ensure a good time for others on the platform as well. Also, If you see any content that doesn’t follow these guidelines, please report it to us, Learn how to report an account or content.
 

A lot of time was put into thinking about the different points of view that create a safe and open environment for everyone. We created the Community Guidelines so you can help us foster and protect this phenomenal community. By using Hobbmate, you agree to these guidelines and our Terms of Use along with our Privacy Policy. We’re committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. In some cases, we may allow content for public awareness which would otherwise go against our Community Guidelines – if it is newsworthy and in the public interest. We do this only after weighing the public interest value against the risk of harm and we look to international human rights standards to make these judgments.

10. Help us protect the community

​

• You play an important part in ensuring the platform stay up to the mark with its quality community members and content. If you see something that you think violates our guidelines, please help us by using our built-in reporting option. Our special team reviews these reports as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. Even if you or someone you know doesn’t have an Hobbmate account, you can still file a report. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines. 

• You may come across content you don’t like, but doesn’t violate the Community Guidelines. If that happens, you can unfollow or block the person who posted it. If there's something you don't like in a comment on one of your posts, you can delete that comment.

• Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between members of the community. If one of your photos or videos was posted by someone else, you could try commenting on the post and asking the person to take it down. If that doesn’t work, you can file a copyright report. If you believe someone is violating your trademark, you can file a trademark report. Don't target the person who posted it by posting screenshots and drawing attention to the situation because that may be classified as harassment.
