📜 Community Guidelines

1. Respect for African Culture & Heritage

MyRoots exists to preserve and celebrate African culture. All users must show deep respect for tribal identities, customs, traditions, and practices of every African community — even those different from your own.

Not allowed: Tribal insults, cultural mockery, dismissing traditions, making fun of languages or accents, spreading cultural misinformation.

2. Respect for Elders & Family

African culture deeply values respect for elders and family structures. Conversations should reflect this value. We encourage family-oriented connections and serious relationship intentions.

3. No Fake Identities

Your cultural identity must be genuine. Pretending to be from a different tribe, village, or cultural background is strictly prohibited. Verified users get priority in matching.

4. No Harassment or Threats

Harassment, bullying, pressure, threats, or any form of intimidation will result in immediate ban. This includes pressuring someone for personal information, contact details, or meetings.

5. No Explicit or Inappropriate Content

MyRoots is a family-oriented platform. Sexual content, nude images, or sexually suggestive messages are strictly prohibited.

6. No Religious Disrespect

Africa is religiously diverse. Whether Christian, Muslim, Traditional African, or any other faith — all religious beliefs must be respected equally.

7. No Scams or Spam

Any attempt to scam, defraud, or solicit money from other users will result in permanent ban and may be reported to authorities.

8. Contact Exchange Rules

For your safety, sharing phone numbers, emails, social media, or any contact details in messages is blocked until the official contact exchange process is completed. This protects both parties.
