Plant Story app is a reflection of our diverse community of cultures, ages and beliefs. We've spent a lot of time thinking about the different points of view that create a safe and open environment for everyone.
We created the Community Guidelines so that you can help us foster and protect this amazing community. By using Plant Story app, you agree to these guidelines and our Terms of Use. We're committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. Overstepping these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts or other restrictions.
Each participant in our community is responsible for maintaining these standards. In deciding whether someone has violated the rules, we will take into accounts things like newsworthiness, the context and nature of the posted information, the likelihood and severity of actual or potential harms, and applicable laws.
Violations of our rules may result in consequences such as account restrictions, limited distribution of your posts and suspension of your account. We may limit the distribution of controversial or extreme content.

Spam
We do not allow spam in the Plant Story app community. All Spam will be immediately removing from Plant Story app community, without notification. While it is hard to define this content with precision or completeness, here are some representative behaviors we look for that are characteristic of spam:
- Posting content primarily to drive traffic to, or increase the search ranking of, an external site, product or services.
- Scraping and reposting content from other sources for the primary purpose of generating revenue or other personal gains
- Posting duplicates content, whether from a single account or across multiple accounts
- Stories where the content is clipped with the sole purpose of linking to the rest of the article on a different website.
- Preforming a disproportionately large number of interactions, particularly by automated means. This includes bulk, indiscriminate interactions, such as following of other accounts (follow spam) clapping, highlighting, or leaving notes
- Repeatedly using responses or other interactions as a method of promotion
- Participating in bounty campaigns or brigades to artificially inflate rankings for posts, accounts, businesses, or products
- Use or re-use content templates with slight modifications across multiple posts and accounts
For each of these behaviors, when we talk about "content", we mean not only posts but also any other feature that allows you to add your own text or media. When we talk about "interactions", we mean any feature that allows one user to interact with another, or with a post.
Paid, automatic, bulk, or non-genuine interactions
Plant Story app Community depends on various user behaviours — likes, follows and upvotes — to determine what content to feature and make the site work well for everyone. So, we don't allow artificial behaviours that skew this system and as a result degrade or distort other users' experiences. This includes:
- Buying, selling, or trading in accounts or account interactions — including views, follows, upvotes, likes, answers or other traffic
- Using services, apps, or arrangements that offer you more views, likes, upvotes, or other interactions on your Plant Story app Community account or content
- Registering accounts, posting content, or interacting with users or content automatically, systematically, or programmatically

Respect the Platform & Community Interventions
Healthy communities are ones in which individuals act in good faith and assume the same for others. When management deems it is in the best interests of the community or the platform, Plant Story may intervene to stop a show or suspend an account. This should happen seldom, but when it does, our objective is to maintain the marketplace accessible while also giving the seller time to calm down and become compliant with our criteria.
If problems persist, Plant Story may intervene with activities to remedy them. The next measures will be evaluated, and sometimes simply educating the party involved will be enough, but these actions may include warnings, show monitoring and moderating, account suspension, and account deletion. We hope such permanent steps are never required, but we retain the right to take them if severe circumstances demand them.
