We absolutely prohibit any form of content or action that promotes, encourages, or incites violence towards individuals or groups, whether directly or indirectly.
3. Cultivating Inclusivity and Tolerance
Our commitment to a diverse and inclusive platform means we do not tolerate content that promotes hatred, harassment, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and more. Upholding a safe space for everyone is our top priority.
4. Harassment Has No Place Here
Harassment has no place on Inkspired. This includes behaviors like bullying, threats, mockery, or shaming, as well as any repetitive or targeted campaign of harassment against individuals or groups.

Privacy and personal safety are paramount. Posting private communications without consent, engaging in doxxing, or sharing explicit images without permission is strictly prohibited. We aim to foster a space where everyone’s dignity and reputation are respected.
