Safety
Community standards
Couples Jury is a private space for structured disagreement. You may criticize actions, choices, and patterns in your relationship. You may not use this site to demean people for who they are, threaten harm, or post identifying information.
Allowed (protected disagreement)
- Honest criticism of what someone did or failed to do (“you ignored my boundaries,” “that was unfair”).
- Strong opinions, frustration, and moral language about behavior.
- Political or cultural context when it explains the dispute — without slurs or dehumanization.
- Anonymous stories that follow the safety checklist (no names, numbers, or links).
Not allowed (auto-blocked)
- Racial, ethnic, religious, anti-LGBTQ+, gender-based, or disability slurs and hate speech.
- Profanity and vulgar sexual language (keep submissions readable for a mixed audience).
- Threats of violence or harm, including telling someone to harm themselves.
- Targeted harassment, sexual harassment, and dehumanizing attacks.
- Personal identifying information: names with addresses, phone numbers, email, SSN-style numbers, or URLs.
May be held for human review
- Borderline insults, shouting (ALL CAPS), or spam-like repetition.
- Content that passed filters but was reported by the community.
- Cases tagged for safety or abuse — moderators may prioritize review.
How enforcement works
- Automated checks run on case text and vote rationales before publish or display.
- Blocked submissions receive plain-language reasons so you can edit and resubmit.
- Flagged items may still enter the queue for a human moderator.
- Repeated abuse can result in rejected cases or votes without a public debate about your post.
Free speech & private forums
U.S. free-speech protections apply to government restrictions, not to rules on a private community forum. We apply these standards so the jury can focus on the dispute — not on slurs, threats, or doxxing.
