community
Meet is a space for real conversations between real people. To keep it that way, we have a set of community guidelines that everyone agrees to follow. These are not arbitrary rules — they exist because they make conversations better for everyone.
The core principles:
1. Be respectful
Disagree with ideas, not with people. You can say "I think that approach is wrong because..." You cannot say "You are an idiot for thinking that." The difference matters. Heated discussions are fine. Personal attacks get you banned.
2. Stay on topic
Each thread has a subject. Contribute to that subject. If a conversation sparks a different idea, start a new thread for it. Derailing threads frustrates the people who came for the original topic.
3. No spam or self-promotion
Sharing your business is fine in context — if someone asks for recommendations and your business is relevant, mention it. What is not fine: posting your business link in every thread, creating threads that are thinly veiled advertisements, or sending promotional messages to other users.
4. No harassment
This includes:
- Repeated unwanted contact after being asked to stop
- Targeting someone across multiple threads
- Sharing personal information about others (doxxing)
- Sexual harassment in any form
- Threats of violence or harm
- Stalking behavior online or offline
5. No hate speech
Discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or social class has no place on Meet. Criticism of ideas and institutions is allowed. Dehumanizing groups of people is not.
6. Keep it legal
Do not use Meet to organize illegal activities, sell prohibited items, or share pirated content. Bangladesh law applies.
7. Protect privacy
Do not share screenshots of private conversations without consent. Do not post personal details (phone numbers, addresses, photos) of people who have not consented.
How moderation works:
- Community reporting: Any user can flag a post or thread. Flagged content goes into a review queue.
- Response time: Our moderation team reviews reports within 4 hours during business hours (9 AM - 11 PM).
- Graduated enforcement: First violation = warning. Second = 24-hour posting restriction. Third = 7-day ban. Severe violations (threats, doxxing) = immediate permanent ban.
- Appeals: If you believe a moderation decision was wrong, you can appeal within 7 days. A different moderator reviews the appeal.
- Transparency: When a post is removed, the author is told which guideline was violated and why.
What good participation looks like:
- Sharing personal experience relevant to the topic
- Providing sources when making factual claims
- Acknowledging when you are wrong or do not know something
- Helping newcomers feel welcome
- Using Bangla or English — whichever you are more comfortable with
These guidelines evolve based on community feedback. If you think a rule should change, start a thread in the Meta Feedback section. We listen.
