Vibebo is a place for honest expression.
People use it to send anonymous questions, feedback, wishes, opinions, memories and other messages that may be easier to say without putting a name beside them.
That openness can be funny, thoughtful, supportive, awkward, direct or unexpected. It can help people say things that would otherwise stay unsaid.
But anonymity should never be used as an excuse to hurt, intimidate, exploit or deliberately make someone else feel unsafe.
These Community Guidelines explain the behaviour we expect on Vibebo and where we draw the line.
They apply across Vibebo, including personal message links, Channels, VibeboX, Pulse, comments, replies and content created or published with Vibebo’s AI tools.
How to use Vibebo
Be honest without being cruel
You can be funny, curious, direct, supportive, critical or unexpected.
Honest feedback is welcome. Deliberately humiliating, threatening or targeting someone is not.
If you would not want a message used to frighten, shame or isolate you, do not use anonymity to do that to somebody else.
Respect anonymity
An anonymous sender should remain anonymous to the recipient unless the sender chooses otherwise.
Do not pressure someone to identify a sender. Do not publish supposed clues about who sent something. Do not organise harassment around guesses about a sender’s identity.
A sender may choose to identify themselves in a message or leave a voluntary hint where that feature is available. That choice belongs to the sender.
Think before publishing
A message received privately stays private unless the recipient chooses to publish it.
If you decide to turn a message into a public response, read it again first.
Remove personal information, sensitive context or details that could expose the sender or another person.
The fact that something was sent to you privately does not mean every detail belongs in a public conversation.
What is not allowed
Bullying and harassment
Do not
- Bully, abuse, stalk or deliberately intimidate another person
- Repeatedly send unwanted or hostile messages
- Encourage other people to target someone
- Use degrading or humiliating language to cause harm
- Threaten to expose private or intimate information
- Use anonymity to keep targeting someone who has made the interaction unwanted
Disagreement is allowed. Persistent or targeted harassment is not.
Hate and discrimination
Do not attack, degrade or encourage discrimination against people because of characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or age.
Slurs, dehumanising language, hateful stereotypes and calls for exclusion or violence can breach these Guidelines.
Threats and violence

- Threaten violence or serious physical harm
- Encourage someone to hurt another person
- Encourage suicide or self injury
- Glorify or promote serious violence
- Share instructions intended to help someone cause physical harm
- Threaten attacks against communities, organisations or public places
- Use Vibebo to support, recruit for or organise terrorism or violent extremism
Content suggesting an immediate risk of serious harm may result in urgent action.
Sexual harassment and exploitation
Do not
- Send persistent unwanted sexual messages
- Pressure someone into sexual activity
- Use sexual content to intimidate, blackmail or humiliate someone
- Share or threaten to share another person’s intimate content without consent
- Solicit sexual services where prohibited by law or Vibebo’s Terms
- Use Vibebo to facilitate sexual violence or exploitation
Sexually suggestive content may also be affected by a recipient’s Message Filtering settings even when it does not result in a Community Guidelines enforcement action.
Child sexual exploitation and abuse
We do not allow child sexual exploitation or abuse.
Do not create, request, share, distribute, promote or direct people to sexual content involving anyone under 18. Do not sexualise children, groom a child, engage a child in sexual conversation for exploitative purposes or use Vibebo to facilitate the sexual exploitation or abuse of a child.
If you encounter content or behaviour that you believe may involve child sexual exploitation or abuse, use the available Report option so the concern can enter Vibebo’s review process.
Reports or other information suggesting child sexual exploitation or abuse may be reviewed and handled in accordance with Vibebo’s policies and applicable law.
Where Vibebo becomes aware of child sexual abuse material on the service, we take appropriate action. Depending on the circumstances, this may include restricting access to or removing content, restricting or suspending accounts, preserving relevant information where permitted or required by law, and making reports to a competent authority or designated child protection reporting body where required by applicable law.
If there is an immediate risk to a child, contact the appropriate emergency service or child protection authority in your location rather than relying only on a Vibebo report.
Do not download, save, copy or forward suspected child sexual abuse material in order to report it. Use the available reporting route and provide links, account information or other ordinary details where appropriate without creating additional copies of the material.
Privacy and personal information
Do not use Vibebo to expose or misuse another person’s private information.
This includes home addresses, private telephone numbers, passwords, financial information, identity documents, private correspondence, precise private locations or other sensitive information where sharing it could create a risk of harm.
Do not use Vibebo to dox, track, blackmail or intimidate someone.
Spam and manipulation
Do not
- Flood a person’s inbox or Channel
- Repeatedly submit the same disruptive message
- Use automated systems to generate excessive submissions
- Send large volumes of irrelevant promotional content
- Create fake engagement or manipulate public conversations
- Use Vibebo primarily to provoke hostility or disrupt a Channel or Pulse discussion
Scams, fraud and deceptive conduct
Do not use Vibebo to conduct or facilitate fraud, phishing, extortion, financial scams or deceptive commercial schemes.
Do not impersonate another person or organisation in a way likely to cause harm.
Do not falsely claim that Vibebo endorses you, your business, campaign, product or service.
Ordinary promotion of a legitimate project, event or business can be acceptable where the feature and context make sense.
Dangerous misinformation
Do not deliberately use Vibebo to spread false information in ways likely to cause serious harm.
This can include deceptive information intended to facilitate fraud, prevent lawful civic participation, manipulate people during an emergency or create a meaningful risk to health or safety.
Not every incorrect statement is a violation. Context, intent and likely harm matter.
Illegal and seriously harmful activity
Do not use Vibebo to organise, facilitate or meaningfully assist criminal activity, including fraud, extortion, human trafficking, serious cybercrime, distribution of illegal material, child exploitation or credible threats of violence.
AI generated content
Vibebo AI can help analyse feedback, find themes and create drafts for supported features.
You remain responsible for what you choose to generate, edit and publish.
Do not use Vibebo’s AI tools to create content that would breach these Guidelines if you wrote it yourself.
Review AI generated drafts before publication. Remove private information, unsupported claims or harmful material before using the output publicly.
How our safety controls support these Guidelines
AI Sentinel and Message Filtering
Vibebo AI Sentinel can help classify incoming text that may be spam, harmful or sexually suggestive.
Recipients can manage supported filtering options from Settings, then Safety, then Message Filtering.
Filtering is an experience control as well as a moderation layer.
A message may be filtered because of the recipient’s settings even when Vibebo has not determined that the sender committed a Community Guidelines violation.
Hidden Words
Recipients can create their own Hidden Words list.
A term on somebody’s Hidden Words list does not automatically mean that term is prohibited across Vibebo. It means that person has chosen not to receive it.
Blocking
Recipients can block an anonymous sender without being shown who that sender is.
Blocking is intended to stop further interaction through the affected destination. It does not reveal the person’s identity.
Reporting
Use the available Report option when content appears to breach these Guidelines.
Reporting sends the relevant content into Vibebo’s review process.
Blocking and reporting are separate, so a person may choose either or both.
Public content
Anonymous messages are not automatically public.
The recipient decides whether a message remains private or becomes part of a public response.
Messages published to Pulse or another public Vibebo surface, along with comments and replies, can be subject to reporting and moderation where the relevant controls are available.
The person publishing a received message should check what they are making public, including whether it contains personal information about the sender or somebody else.
Channels
Channel owners and managers should use access controls, roles and invitations responsibly.
Do not add people to a shared inbox who do not need access. Do not misuse a private Channel invitation. Do not use a Channel to coordinate harassment.
Shared access comes with shared responsibility.
How we may respond
When content or behaviour breaches these Guidelines, Vibebo may take action that is appropriate to the circumstances.
That can include
- Filtering or restricting content
- Removing or limiting public content
- Restricting access to a feature
- Blocking or restricting an account
- Suspending or ending access to Vibebo
- Preserving information where required or permitted by law
- Responding to valid legal process or appropriate authorities where there is a lawful basis
The response may depend on the seriousness of the conduct, the context, repeated behaviour and the information reasonably available to us.
Severe violations may result in action without a previous warning.
If you see something that breaks these Guidelines
Use Report where it is available and choose the reason that best matches the problem.
If the same anonymous sender keeps crossing a boundary, you can also block that sender.
If you need a break from incoming messages, pause your link or review your filtering settings.
If someone appears to be in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service or local authority rather than relying only on an in app report.
These Guidelines may change
Vibebo changes over time, and online risks change too.
We may update these Community Guidelines to reflect new features, new forms of abuse, changes in our policies or applicable legal requirements.
Updated Guidelines take effect when published unless we say otherwise.
Keep Vibebo human 💜
There is a person on the other side of every message.
Anonymity can make it easier to say something kind, ask something difficult, give honest feedback or share a thought that would otherwise stay unsaid.
Use that freedom well.
