PLAY BY THE RULES

Post your own clothes. Be recognisably a person. Leave other people alone if they want to be left alone.

That is nearly all of it. The rest of this page is the specifics, and an honest description of what happens when somebody breaks them.

The point of this place is what you actually own and actually wear. Posting somebody else's photograph as your own is the one thing that makes the whole thing worthless, so do not do it.

Reposting, lookbook scraping, and catalogue images are not what this is for.

Every post and every profile can be reported, and there are five reasons to choose from: spam, harassment, nudity, impersonation, and other, with an optional note of up to three hundred characters.

Spam means bulk, commercial, or automated posting. Harassment means going after a person rather than talking about clothes. Nudity is not permitted here at all. Impersonation means presenting yourself as somebody you are not — a handle, a name, or a face that belongs to somebody else.

You can report a given post or profile once. A second report on the same target does not create a second row, and the interface tells you so rather than pretending it did something.

A report writes a row in a table. StyleStack is run by one person, and that person reads the table.

There is no moderation queue, no automatic hiding, no "under review" badge, no escalation, and no acknowledgement email. A report is not a request that gets a response; it is a signal that gets read. That is the whole product, and saying anything more would be a promise about a process that does not exist.

What reports are good for is patterns. One report is a data point. Several reports about the same account are the thing worth acting on, and acting means the account is removed.

Blocking is the control you hold yourself, and it does not wait for anybody to read anything.

When you block somebody, you stop seeing their content and they stop seeing yours — in both directions, immediately. Every follow relationship between the two of you is removed, in both directions, and the notifications between you are cleared.

The person you block is not told. Their own posts, wardrobe, and account are untouched; blocking is a setting on your side of the relationship, not a punishment applied to theirs.

Props and comments already given are not retracted. They sit on posts that other people can still see, and reaching into third-party content to remove somebody's contributions is a moderation action, not a personal setting.

You can unblock from the BLOCKED section of your account page. Unblocking does not restore the follow relationships — nothing in the system remembers what they were, deliberately.

Harassing people. Posting nudity. Impersonating somebody. Posting other people's photographs as your own after being told to stop. Automated or bulk posting.

There is no strike count and no appeals process, because there is one operator and inventing a tribunal would be inventing a process. If your account is removed and you believe that was wrong, the contact address published with the final text is where to say so.
