Community Rules

These Community Rules apply to every space where Cryptool users interact — including on-platform chat, group discussions, group comments, support channels, and any Cryptool-operated social accounts. They are updated periodically.

Purpose

Cryptool's community exists to help users learn, discuss, and collaborate on managing digital-asset portfolios, fundraising, and trading. We want every interaction to be respectful, on-topic, and free of scams. These rules set the baseline; Cryptool may add context-specific rules in individual groups or channels.

Be Respectful

• No personal attacks, insults, harassment, bullying, or stalking.
• No hate speech or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
• Disagree on ideas, not people. Stay civil even when debate gets heated.

Stay On Topic

• Keep discussions relevant to the group's or channel's stated topic.
• Don't derail conversations with unrelated content, self-promotion, or off-topic memes.

No Spam or Solicitation

• No advertising, affiliate links, paid shills, pump groups, signal groups, or "DM-for-details" solicitations.
• No unsolicited cross-posting of identical content in multiple channels.
• Referral links are only permitted in channels where they are explicitly allowed.

No Scams, Impersonation, or Fraud

• Never claim to be Cryptool staff, a moderator, a partner, or another user.
• Never ask for or share private keys, seed phrases, KYC documents, or one-time passwords.
• Phishing links, fake airdrops, rug schemes, "wallet support" DMs, and giveaway scams result in an immediate permanent ban.

No Market Manipulation

• No coordinated buying or selling designed to mislead other users (pump-and-dump, rug pulls, wash trading calls).
• No false or misleading claims about a token's partnerships, listings, audits, or team.
• Disclose material interests (e.g., "I hold X") when discussing a specific token or project.

Respect Privacy

• Do not share another user's personal information (doxing) — including real name, address, workplace, wallet address, or private messages — without their explicit consent.
• Do not post content that violates intellectual-property rights, confidentiality, or applicable privacy law.

No Illegal Content

• No content that violates applicable law or promotes illegal activity in your jurisdiction.
• No child sexual abuse material, violent extremism, sanctions evasion, money laundering, or terrorist financing content — these result in a permanent ban and are reported to the relevant authorities.

Keep It Safe for Work

• No explicit sexual content, gore, or shock imagery in public channels.
• Content that is legal but clearly inappropriate in a professional financial context may be removed at moderator discretion.

Enforcement

• Cryptool moderators may remove content, mute participants, restrict features, or ban accounts that violate these rules.
• We apply enforcement proportionally — typically a warning for a first infraction, time-limited restriction for repeat offenses, and a permanent ban for egregious violations (scams, fraud, illegal content, targeted harassment).
• Cryptool reserves the right to enforce or not enforce any rule at its discretion, based on context.

Reporting

If you see content that breaks these rules, please report it through the in-platform report function, or email support at the address published in the Contact Us doc. Reports are reviewed confidentially; we do not share reporter identities with the reported party.

Changes

Cryptool may update these Community Rules at any time. Continued participation in Cryptool's community after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated rules.
