Hero Culture Community Guidelines

Hero Culture reflects a positive and purpose-driven lifestyle. This is a community where we support each other in what we do.

To summarize our Community Guidelines: Be Safe. Be Honest. Be Kind. And of course, Respect the Rights of Others and the Law.

We believe we can be an amazing community. We do not want to have to moderate and facilitate action against your account or content due to violating our community policies, but we will exercise due diligence. If you see something you believe may violate our policies, whether in profiles, posts, messages, or anywhere else, please report it to us.

These policies apply to all users. Depending on the severity of violation, we may remove it entirely. If you believe content was removed in error, you can contact us via the app. Repeated or severe offenses can result in a temporary or permanent restriction from Hero Culture.

Be Safe.

Safety starts with you. Every individual has the responsibility to create a safe environment by simply protecting the safety of others in their own environment first. If every individual follows, this community would be the safest place on the planet. Who wouldn’t want that?

Be Honest.

There is no reason to artificially increase the number of views, shares, likes, or comments on your posts because we do not have any of those features.
