Community Guidelines

Last Updated: June 2026

Our Philosophy

JoinRooms was created to make private conversations simple.

We believe the best conversations happen behind closed doors. These guidelines exist to help keep JoinRooms welcoming, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone.

Be Respectful

Treat others the way you would want to be treated.

• Be civil and respectful.
• Disagreements are fine; personal attacks are not.
• Avoid harassment, bullying, intimidation, or abuse.

Respect Privacy

Not everything shared in a Room is meant for the public.

• Do not share private information without permission.
• Do not attempt to expose or dox other users.
• Respect the expectations of private conversations.
• Respect the privacy of people inside and outside a Room.

No Illegal or Harmful Content

JoinRooms may not be used for unlawful or harmful activity.

• No criminal activity.
• No threats of violence.
• No exploitation of minors.
• No child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, trafficking, solicitation, or content that promotes, depicts, or facilitates harm involving minors.
• No malicious software, phishing, scams, or fraud.
• No content intended to harm others.

Zero Tolerance for Child Exploitation

JoinRooms maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), child exploitation, grooming, trafficking, or content that promotes, depicts, solicits, or facilitates harm involving minors.

Any user found engaging in, sharing, soliciting, promoting, attempting to distribute, or attempting to obtain such material or behavior may be permanently banned without warning.

Users may not upload, request, send, trade, or distribute nude, sexual, or sexually suggestive images or videos of anyone under 18, including themselves. This rule applies even if the content was self-created or shared between minors.

JoinRooms reserves the right to preserve and report related content, account information, IP addresses, metadata, and communications to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), law enforcement, and any applicable local, state, federal, or international authorities.

If you believe a child or any person is in immediate danger, or if you believe a crime is occurring, contact local emergency services or local law enforcement first. Reports submitted through JoinRooms are not a substitute for contacting authorities in an emergency.

We will fully cooperate with investigations and comply with lawful requests to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Protecting children is not optional. It is a non-negotiable condition of using this platform.

Respect Room Owners

Room owners control their Rooms.

• If a Room owner asks you to leave, leave.
• If you are removed from a Room, respect that decision.
• Do not repeatedly attempt to bypass Room restrictions.

Room Ownership

JoinRooms gives Room owners tools to manage their own spaces.

• Room owners may remove participants.
• Room owners may ban participants.
• Room owners may transfer ownership.
• Room owners may permanently burn a Room.

Participation in a Room is not guaranteed. Room owners are responsible for the environment inside their Rooms.

Use Good Judgment

JoinRooms is designed for conversation, not conflict.

Before posting something, consider whether it contributes positively to the discussion and whether you would be comfortable saying it face-to-face.

Reporting Problems

If you encounter abuse, harassment, illegal activity, security concerns, or technical issues, please use the Contact / Report Abuse page.

Enforcement

Violations of these guidelines may result in Room restrictions, content removal, suspension of access, device bans, or other actions necessary to protect JoinRooms and its users.

Most Rooms manage themselves. We prefer not to intervene unless necessary.

A Simple Rule

Be respectful.
Be reasonable.
Enjoy the conversation.
