Community Guidelines

1. These guidelines

Kaymn is a community of small tribes around what people have lived. These guidelines are how we keep those rooms livable: honest enough to be useful, careful enough that someone can speak without being punished for it.

They are part of our Terms of Service. Using Kaymn means you agree to both. We may update this page; the date at the top is the version that applies. If these guidelines and the Terms ever conflict on a legal right or duty, the Terms control.

You need to be at least 18 to have an account. The rooms are for people of any gender. Tribes open and change over time — this document is not a closed list of topics.

This page is about how we treat each other. It is not personal legal advice, and it is not a substitute for the law of the country you live in. Our Terms are governed by the laws of Kuwait.

2. How we hope you’ll show up

The useful version of Kaymn is simple. You write what happened to you. You ask a clear question. You answer from your own life, not from a script. You leave room for someone else’s path to look different from yours.

• Share an honest personal experience, and keep other people’s private details out of it unless they asked you to tell it.
• Give enough context that a reply can actually help — what you tried, what you are asking, what would not be useful.
• Disagree about treatment, choices, or beliefs without attacking who someone is.
• Post in the tribe that matches the experience. Each tribe has its own welcome and its own rules; joining it means you accept them alongside these guidelines.
• Support without pressure. Comfort is not the same as telling someone what they must do.

3. What we will not allow

We remove content and, when needed, restrict accounts for the following. This is not a complete list of every harm the law recognizes; it is what we enforce here.

Harm, hate, and threats

• Hate speech, discrimination, or dehumanizing a person or group.
• Threats, incitement to violence, or glorifying violent crime.
• Instructions to make weapons or dangerous substances, or to harm someone else.

Harassment and cruelty

• Harassment, stalking, blackmail, or repeated unwanted contact.
• Publishing someone’s private information (doxxing), including a home address, workplace, phone number, or identity they have not chosen to share here.
• Impersonation, or running extra accounts to evade a ban or to fake support.

Minors and sexual exploitation

• Any sexual content involving a minor, or any exploitation of a minor — we will not host it, and we will report it where the law requires.
• Non-consensual intimate images of anyone, including images shared to shame or “warn.”
• Sexual content that is pornographic rather than a lived conversation about the body, relationships, or health. Those conversations belong in the tribes that hold them, with care. Pornography and solicitation do not.

Spam, scams, and gaming the room

• Spam, unsolicited ads, affiliate dumps, malicious links, or scams.
• Using a tribe as a shopfront, a lead list, or a place to sell products or services instead of sharing what you lived.
• Manipulating reactions, impact, reports, or ranking — including asking people to click Helpful or Lived it as a favor.

Other people’s work

• Posting text, images, or files you do not have the right to share.

4. Stories are not professional advice

• Do not present yourself as a clinician, lawyer, or adviser unless you are writing under your own name, in your own capacity, and you make the limit of that clear. Even then, Kaymn is not your clinic.
• Do not offer a diagnosis or a medication plan as a substitute for someone seeing a professional who can examine them.
• Do not give binding legal advice, or promise a legal outcome.
• Do not guarantee returns, promote get-rich schemes, or recruit people into financial arrangements you would not put your name on in daylight.
• It is fine to say “this is what happened to me” and “this is what I would ask a doctor.” It is not fine to tell someone to start, stop, or change treatment as if you were theirs.

5. If someone is in danger

You may write about mental health, grief, and hard seasons you have lived. You may not post instructions for suicide, self-harm, or harming others. We will remove that content.

If a post suggests someone is in immediate danger, use Report and include a link. If you can do so safely, encourage them to get local help. Our team reviews reports; we are not a crisis line and we do not promise a response in time to stop an emergency.

6. Anonymous posting

Some tribes let you post without showing your name. That is so you can speak about something tender without putting your face on it. It is not a mask for cruelty.

• Anonymous posting is available only in tribes that turn it on.
• Other members and visitors will not see who you are. The Kaymn team can still connect the post to your account when we need to — for a serious report, a legal request, or a safety review. That is also described in our Privacy Policy.
• Do not use anonymity to defame, harass, or reveal someone else’s private life.
• Even with your name hidden, the words you write can still identify you or someone else. Be careful with details.

7. Tribes, mentors, and reactions

A tribe is a small room around one lived thing. New tribes may open; some may close. The catalog you see on any given day is not a promise that it will stay that size forever.

• Each tribe publishes its own rules. If they are stricter than these guidelines, follow the stricter rule in that room.
• People with a mentor or moderator role help the room. They are members, not Kaymn’s official voice, and they are not a licensed professional by virtue of the badge. They do not have unlimited authority.
• Reactions — Thanks, Helpful, Lived it — are how we mark that something actually helped. Do not farm them, sell them, or punish someone for withholding them.
• A “best answer” is the original poster’s choice, not a medical or legal ruling.

8. Other people’s privacy

You may tell your story. You may not tell someone else’s as a weapon.

• Do not name, tag, or describe a third party so they can be found — a partner, a clinician, a child, a colleague — unless they have asked you to, or you are speaking only in terms so general that nobody could identify them.
• Do not post private messages, medical records, or photos of other people without permission.
• “I am warning the group” does not excuse publishing an identity. Report the conduct to us instead, and leave out what would unmask someone.

9. Reports and enforcement

On a post you can Hide it from your own feed, or Report it to us. Hide is for you. Report is for the room.

When you report, tell us what is wrong in your own words. We review reports; we do not publish a public scoreboard of them. Repeated reports filed in bad faith may themselves lead to a restriction.

We may take one or more of these steps, with or without a warning, depending on severity and on whether it has happened before:

• Remove or limit the reach of content
• Disable anonymous posting for an account
• Remove someone from a tribe
• Warn, suspend, or terminate an account
• Preserve records and, where the law requires, report to authorities

For a serious threat or an emergency, email support@kaymn.com with a link to the post. For ordinary product questions, use Help.

We try to be consistent. We do not promise that every hard call will look the same, or that we will explain a safety decision in full when doing so would put someone at risk.
