Community Guidelines

Good Flippin Vibes is a space for joy, healing, and connection. These guidelines ensure everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.

Our Core Values

Kindness First

We assume positive intent and approach disagreements with empathy, not hostility.

Safety & Inclusion

Everyone—regardless of background—deserves to participate without harassment or discrimination.

Evidence & Honesty

We value truth over hype. Misinformation and pseudoscience harm communities.

What We Welcome

Personal stories of healing, growth, and resilience (with appropriate content warnings for trauma)
Creative expressions—art, poetry, humor, gratitude reflections
Thoughtful questions about the science or practices featured on the site
Supportive responses to others' experiences (without giving medical advice)
Constructive feedback on content accuracy or accessibility
Dad jokes (yes, really—we're called Good Flippin Vibes for a reason)

What We Don't Allow

1. Hate Speech & Harassment

Attacks based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any identity are prohibited. This includes slurs, dehumanizing language, and targeted harassment.

Result: Immediate removal + account suspension.

2. Medical Misinformation

Promoting unproven treatments, anti-vaccine content, or discouraging people from seeking professional care violates our evidence-based mission.

Result: Content removal + warning. Repeated violations = ban.

3. Commercial Spam & MLM Schemes

Self-promotion, affiliate links, multi-level marketing pitches, or cryptocurrency schemes disguised as "wellness" are not permitted.

Result: Content removal + account flagging.

4. Graphic Content Without Warnings

Discussions of suicide, self-harm, abuse, or violence must include clear content warnings. Graphic images/descriptions are not allowed.

Result: Content hidden pending edit. User asked to add CW or reframe.

5. Doxxing & Privacy Violations

Sharing others' personal information (addresses, phone numbers, employer details) without consent is strictly forbidden.

Result: Immediate removal + permanent ban.

6. Impersonation

Pretending to be another user, a healthcare provider, or a Good Flippin Vibes team member undermines trust.

Result: Account suspension pending verification.
