01Community guidelines

What we ask of everyone.

Our guidelines exist so this stays a space India's LGBTQ+ community can actually relax in. They are the other half of a pair: Safety is what we do to protect you — this is what we ask of you.

02The basics

Four things, always.

If you only remember one screen of this page, make it this one.

Respect everyone.

Treat all members with kindness and respect, regardless of identity, background, or beliefs.

Protect privacy.

Never share someone's information without consent. What happens on Qurious stays on Qurious.

Build community.

Contribute positively. Help create a space where everyone feels welcome and safe.

Communicate honestly.

Be genuine in your interactions. Misrepresentation undermines trust.
03Hard lines

What we don't allow.

These are not judgement calls. Break one of these and we act.

  • Harassment & bullying

    No threats, intimidation, or targeted harassment. This includes unwanted sexual advances, stalking behaviour, and persistent unwelcome contact.

  • Hate speech & discrimination

    No content that attacks individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.

  • Outing anyone

    Never reveal someone's identity, orientation, or gender history without their explicit consent — screenshots included. This is the fastest way to lose your account.

  • Violence & dangerous activities

    No threats of violence, content that glorifies harm, or promotion of dangerous activities.

  • Illegal content

    No solicitation or facilitation of illegal activities, including drug sales, prostitution, or exploitation.

  • Minors

    Qurious is strictly for adults 18 and over. No content involving minors, no exceptions.

  • Spam & scams

    No commercial spam, phishing attempts, financial scams, or deceptive practices.

  • Impersonation

    Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Use your own photos and be honest about who you are.

04The good stuff

What we hope you'll do.

Rules keep people safe. These are the things that make a community worth being in.

Be yourself.

Authenticity builds real connections.

Respect boundaries.

No means no. Always.

Report concerns.

Help us keep the community safe by reporting violations.

Support each other.

We're building community, not competition.

05Enforcement

What happens when it breaks.

We review every report and weigh severity and context. Serious cases skip straight to the end of this ladder.

  1. Content removal

    The offending content comes down.

  2. Warning

    A formal notice on your account explaining what broke.

  3. Temporary suspension

    Access is paused while we review.

  4. Permanent ban

    The account is closed and cannot be recreated.

  5. Referral to law enforcement

    Reserved for serious violations, where the law requires it.
