Community Guidelines

Updated: 12/6/2025

1. Be Real

Cheers Buddy is for genuine people celebrating real progress. No fake profiles, impersonation, bots, or misleading identities.

2. Be Kind

Cheer to uplift, never to shame. Avoid harshness, sarcasm, or discouraging language. Kindness is the core of our community.

3. Be Respectful

Respect different backgrounds, abilities, and experiences. No harassment, discrimination, bullying, or hostile behaviour of any kind.

4. Celebrate Small Wins

Every step counts. Support tiny progresses the same way you support big achievements. No belittling or comparing.

5. Keep It Safe

We are a supportive space, not an emergency service. Avoid posting harmful, dangerous, or triggering content. Respond with empathy, not medical or legal advice.

6. Protect Privacy

Don’t share sensitive personal details (yours or others’). Do not pressure anyone into revealing information they’re not comfortable sharing.

7. No Harmful or Explicit Content

No hate speech, violence, harassment, explicit material, extremist content, or anything that threatens safety or wellbeing.

8. No Spam or Manipulation

No promotional spam, automated cheering, or attempts to manipulate visibility. Keep engagement authentic.

9. Use Categories Properly

Post wins in the correct categories so everyone finds relevant support. Specialists should interact only within appropriate areas.

10. Support, Don’t Diagnose

Encourage without giving professional, medical, or legal advice. No guilt-pressuring or overstepping boundaries.

11. Report Problems

Help keep the community safe by reporting harmful or rule-breaking content. Reporting protects everyone.

12. Consequences

Violations may lead to removal of content, temporary suspension, or permanent account restrictions to maintain a safe environment.

13. A Positive Space

Cheers Buddy exists to celebrate progress with real support. Protect the energy. Be part of the community that uplifts others.
