# Community Guidelines

Before signing up to our platform, here are the guidelines every Member must follow:

#### **1. Put God First**

This is a faith-based community, reverence for God is paramount. Disrespect, mockery, or blasphemy against God will not be tolerated. 

Members who defile the sacred will be **removed from** our platform.

#### **2. Worship God, Not People or Things**

You may respect leaders like Sir Mapy and appreciate projects like Wiki Cat, but never exalt anyone or anything above God. 

Keep your heart free from idolatry.

#### **3. Honor God’s Name**

Treat prophecy with reverence and appreciate the men of God who bring them. 

Do not claim God said something He did not. Do not mock, scoff at, or argue against prophecy—even if outcomes are delayed or different. 

The word of the Lord is not to be ridiculed.

#### **4. Do Not Exploit Spiritual Gifts**

Never misuse Scripture, prophecy, or spiritual authority to pressure others into investments or donations. You must not charge for prophetic insights. 

Spiritual manipulation is forbidden.

#### **5. Respect Each Member’s Journey**

Every Believer grows at their own pace—spiritually, mentally, and financially. Do not compare, shame, or boast over another. 

God is at work in every Believer's life.

#### **6. Keep Promotions Honest**

Clearly distinguish between God-ordained projects and paid promotions. 

Divine assignments carry spiritual weight—paid promotions must never be presented with the same authority.

#### **7. Protect Confidentiality**

Honor the trust of fellow Believers. Keep all shared testimonies, struggles, and financial details private. 

Betraying the shared trust among Believers is unacceptable.

#### **8. Speak Truth, Not Lies**

Do not spread false rumors, FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt), or lies about the community. 

Build faith, hope, and unity among Believers with your words—not division.

#### **9. Reject Wickedness**

No scams, fraud, hacking, or illegal activities are permitted. Do not promote evil. 

Let love, unity and righteousness define this community.

#### **10. Speak with Love & Grace**

No hate, discrimination, or strife—whether over tribe, politics, denomination, race, or gender. 

As a Believer, let your every word reflect love, kindness and grace.

**Violations may result in removal.** Let’s uphold these standards together.
