Our community guidelines are for all types of content and all users of Ndi-Igbo Worldwide around the world.

It states unallowed content and, in other cases, content requiring more information to work on and content that can only be posted or viewed by adults between the ages of 18 and above.

Our platform supports the daily sharing of experiences among family and friends and the promotion of community growth. 

It gives a forum for Igbos to express themselves unrestrictedly.

We consider how crucial it is that individuals be able to share their compelling stories in our community, and we take responsibility for ensuring a peaceful, abuse-free atmosphere as we outline the dos and don'ts on Ndi-Igbo Worldwide.

Our stance on speaking out

Our goal for community guidelines is simply to give Ndi-Igbo a voice and a platform to speak freely. We want them to open up freely about pressing issues, even if some may have objections or disagree. We might also publish content that violates our guidelines if it's newsworthy, so long as public appeals outweigh detrimental hazards. We do this only when the scales balance general requests and harmful risks.

Expression is vital, and we give an unwavering commitment, despite the abuses that constantly come from the Internet. As a result, we may limit expression for practical reasons, such as:

Authenticity

We see to it that the contents seen on Ndi-Igbo Worldwide are authentic. with hopes that this will create a better environment for sharing so that people don't get caught up in misrepresenting themselves or what they do while using Ndi-Igboworldwide.

Safety

We pledge to ensure the safety of Ndi-Igbo worldwide. Consequently, content that threatens users is considered private. We assure the privacy and security of your information. Privacy enables users to be themselves and determine when and how much information to reveal on the site.

Dignity

We understand that all individuals ought to be treated with decency and dignity. We expect people to treat others with respect and to not disturb or demean them.

Violence and incitement

We try to protect against any offline harm that could be caused by Ndi-Igbo Worldwide content anywhere in the world. People frequently express disapproval by threatening others or subtly instigating violence. Languages that incite such violence are removed. We suspend accounts and remove content. 

Do not post:

Statements that could result in death (or other severe kinds of violence) or acknowledgement of earlier violent acts committed against people or places when the threat is any of the following:

Giving lessons on how to create or use explosives is prohibited unless it is clear that the contentl is for a non-violent intent (for instance, as part of a commercial video game, with a clear scientific or educational purpose, fireworks or fishing specifically).

Any content that contains declarations of purpose, demands for action, conditional or aspirational declarations, or support for violence as a result of voting, voter registration, or the administration or outcome of an election

threatening people and groups

We prohibit people or organizations with known involvement in violent missions from having a place on Ndi-Igbo Worldwide. This is to enable us to regulate and prevent actual harm. We assess these groups based on their online and offline actions—most significantly, their associations with violence. Additionally, we forbid content that applauds, essentially supports, or depicts violent events, such as terrorist attacks, hate crimes, and multi-victim violence, which Ndi-Igbo Worldwide considers violent events. We acknowledge that users may share information about dangerous organizations and people to expose, criticize, or reasonably discuss them. We draft our policies to allow for these kinds of discussions. However, we require that users clearly state their objectives because they risk being ignored if they are not clear.

Facilitating criminal activity and harm coordination

To curb and control offline misconduct, we disallow people from inciting or participating in criminal activities directed towards other people and their properties. People can discuss and support the legality of criminal acts and also bring to light any illegal activities witnessed by them, given that they would not endorse or encourage such activities.
