Community Guidelines

Good people, good work.

Collaborators works because people can trust who they meet. These rules apply to profiles, messages, projects and everything else you share.

Updated 19 September 2026
01

Be who you say you are

Use your real name and your own work. No fake profiles, no pretending to be someone else, no work that is not yours.

02

Zero tolerance for abuse

No harassment, threats, hate speech, or attacks on anyone for who they are. No sexual content or unwanted advances. This is a place to work together.

03

No scams

Never ask for money, fees to join a project, passwords, or verification codes. Payment for real work is agreed openly, never as a condition of joining.

04

Keep people safe

Nothing that encourages self-harm, violence or illegal activity. Nothing that sexualises or endangers anyone under 18. Collaborators is for adults only, and we report child safety concerns to the authorities.

05

Respect people’s time

No spam, mass messages or advertising. If you say you will do something on a project, do it, or say so.

06

See something? Report it.

Anyone can report a profile, message or project in two taps. A person reviews every report, usually within 24 hours.

When rules are broken

Fair, clear, and human.

A person reviews every report. What we do depends on what happened, and we always tell you why.

  1. 1WarningA clear note about what went wrong, the first time.
  2. 2Content removedThe profile text, message or project comes down.
  3. 3LimitedMessaging or appearing in Discover is paused for a set time.
  4. 4SuspendedThe whole account is paused while things are put right.
  5. 5BannedFor the most serious harm, or repeated breaks. Permanent.

Beyond the rules

How great teams work here.

The rules are the floor. This is what the best collaborations on Collaborators have in common.

Do

  • Say what you’re offering. Be clear about your skills, your time and what you want out of it, before anyone commits.
  • Agree credit and ownership early. Who owns the work, whose name goes on it, how money is shared. Write it down.
  • Show up, or say so. Life happens. A quick “I can’t make this week” keeps trust intact.
  • Give feedback like a teammate. Specific, kind and about the work, never the person.

Something doesn’t feel right?

Report it from the profile, message or project. Or, if it’s urgent, write to the safety team directly.
