House Rules

We want groupthing.org to be a fun, safe, and welcoming place. We know you’re all good people and do this stuff all the time but we need to have a few simple rules to make sure it all stays nice.

Only your screen name

Never give out private info like your name, your friend’s names, phone numbers, mobiles, your home, or school address. Be wary of people who ask you for too much information. Your screen name is all anybody needs to know.

Be yourself

We only want the real you on the site. Pretending to be someone else is not cool. Anyone found doing so will be removed from the site.

Don’t go to an offline meet

You could get a nasty shock if you arrange to meet online friends in real life, so don’t do it. It’s not worth the risk. In the same way don’t accept invitations to chat in an unmonitored chat room.

Upload your stuff

We want your stuff! Lots of it, that’s what the site’s about. That means ONLY created by you, or you have the copyright holder’s permission. Respect the copyright of others. If you want to upload something created by you and your friends, ask them first.

Play nicely

groupthing is a place for all, so treat people how you would like to be treated yourself. This means no swearing, no offensive posts, or comments, no links to offensive material, and no bullying. Behaviour and/or comments that are racist, sexist, or homophobic are not tolerated on groupthing.org and will be removed. Anyone found guilty of this behaviour risks being banned from the site completely. If you come across any offensive comments or links, please report it to us.

Respect other opinions

Not just your own. groupthing loves lots of different viewpoints and ideas. Okay, some people will not share your tastes, and even after lengthy discussion you might not be able to make them see the error of their ways but that mix of opinions is what makes groupthing.org exciting.

Report it

If you see anyone acting against these rules, or see any content you think is hateful or offensive, please report it to us.

We can see you

Honest, our professional moderators have their eyes on every bit of the site. We’re not out to do a spything on you, we won’t invade your privacy but equally we won’t tolerate any bullying or abusive behaviour.

It’s a teen thing

groupthing was conceived, built, and designed, for 13 to 18 year olds. If you’re over eighteen then there are lots of sites that would be more suited to you.

Enjoy!
