- Harassment, threats or intimidation
- Hate speech or discrimination
- Sexual exploitation of any kind
- Publishing another person's private information
- Recording other people without their permission

- Misusing the reporting tools
Competition and fair play
PumpingbuddY connects these guidelines to its anti-cheat system. Manipulating workout scores, deliberately exploiting counting errors, automating results, farming matches and faking session results are not allowed.
A statistical anomaly on its own never leads to a permanent ban. Results that look unusual go into the review queue, where a person looks at them together with the trust score and the session recording before any decision is made.
Profile and content
Profile pictures and banners must follow these guidelines. PumpingbuddY may remove content and restrict accounts.
What happens after a report
- The report goes to the moderation queue with its own reference.
- A moderator reviews the content.
- The outcome is recorded: no action, content removed, visibility restricted, score corrected, warning, suspension.
If a decision affects you
If a moderation decision affects you, you can ask for it to be reviewed. A review request is stored with the decision it refers to and is looked at by a person.
Consequences
Depending on severity: a warning, a restriction or a suspension. Every measure is reasoned and logged.
