Who can use Shoremingle

  • You must be 16 or older.

Your account

  • Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for activity on your account.
  • You can change your details or delete your account at any time.

How you behave

Follow the Community Guidelines everywhere on Shoremingle, and the rules of each Island you visit.

What you post

  • You are responsible for what you post: discussions, replies, Island Chat, private messages, your Islander and your profile.
  • If you delete your account, what you posted stays where it is, shown as from a "Deleted account". You can remove your own discussion posts and private messages before then.

Moderation

Island owners and moderators can hide posts, lock discussions, remove Island Chat messages and restrict people from their Island. The Shoremingle team can remove content, restrict or suspend accounts, and take Islands down when the Community Guidelines or these terms are broken. [To confirm: notice and appeal commitments; an appeals process is not yet available]

Ending

You can stop using Shoremingle and delete your account whenever you like. [To confirm: when Shoremingle may close an account permanently, and what notice is given]
