Community Guidelines

Who Pamojah is for

You must be at least 13 years old to join Pamojah. Pamojah is in closed beta. If sign-up asks for an invite code, you need one from someone already on Pamojah.

What is not allowed

Scams. No scam links, fake offers or anything meant to trick people out of money or personal details.
Impersonation. Do not pretend to be another person, business, campaign or organisation. The For Real (FR) mark is for confirmed identities. Do not fake one.
Harassment. No bullying, threats, hate or targeting of a person. This includes comments, messages and Drops.
Harmful misinformation. Do not post false claims that could hurt someone's health, safety or vote.
Sexual content involving minors. None, in any form, in posts, Drops, comments or messages.
Copyright infringement. Only post what you made or have permission to use. Claim Originator only for content you started.
Spam and fake engagement. No bots, bulk posting or fake accounts. Do not buy, sell or trade Street Cred votes, and do not organise groups to vote a claim up or down. Originator claims and the charts count real votes and real activity from real people.
Wrong category on purpose. Pick the category your post belongs in. Miscategorising a post to reach a different chart or audience is not allowed.
Drops that expose someone else. Do not place a Drop that reveals another person's home, workplace, routine or any other private location without their consent.

What happens when a rule is broken

Reports are reviewed by a person, not by an automated system. The response depends on how serious the problem is and whether it has happened before. Pamojah may:

Remove the post, comment or Drop.
Suspend the account for a period. A suspended account can still browse Pamojah but cannot post, comment, leave Drops, go live or send messages. When you try to post, the app shows the date the suspension ends. A live stream in progress is ended.
Take down a page.
Remove a For Real mark.

Repeat behaviour is taken into account. A suspended account can still be paused or deleted by its owner.

How to report

In the feed, tap the flag icon on the right side of the video. You can also tap the share arrow, which opens Share to, then tap Report. On a Drop, tap the menu button, then Report Drop.
Choose a reason: Spam / Bot, Harassment, Misinformation, Wrong Category, Scam Link or Copyright Violation.
Tap Submit. The app confirms with "Report submitted".

The app can report posts and Drops. To report a profile, a comment, a message, or something the reasons above do not cover, email safety@pamojah.com with the username and, if you can, a link.

Blocking and muting

Block. Open the person's profile, tap the menu button next to Message, then tap Block. Blocking works both ways: you no longer see each other's posts or Drops in feeds. Settings > Privacy > Manage Blocked Accounts lists everyone you have blocked. Unblocking from that list isn't available yet; while the person's profile is still open after you block them, the same menu shows Unblock.
Mute. Tap Mute in a profile's menu, or in a Drop's menu. A muted person's Drops no longer appear in your Drops feed, in AR near you or in notifications. You can still open their Drops from a direct link. Manage the list under Settings > Content Preferences > Content Filters > Muted Accounts.
Hide This Drop, in a Drop's menu, hides that one Drop on your phone without reporting it.

See Reporting, blocking and muting for more detail.
