community guidelines

terrain works on consent and honesty. these guidelines are the standard the terrain team applies when a profile is reported.

last updated 2026-06-11 · draft pending legal review

terrain is for

  • real practitioners and real spaces, described by the people they belong to.
  • consent-first presence — you put yourself on the map; nobody puts you there.
  • pointing people to where practice lives: your space, your community, your links.

terrain is not for

  • profiles of other people without their consent, or impersonation of any kind.
  • spaces you don't actually represent. (spaces imported by the terrain team are explicitly marked unclaimed and can be claimed by their real owners.)
  • commercial spam, link farming, or SEO bait.
  • harassment, hate, or threats — anywhere, including images.
  • content unrelated to movement practice.
  • precise location details about a person — in any field. terrain shows practitioners at city/area level on purpose; don't undo that in free text, yours or anyone else's.

how reports work

every profile can be reported by anyone, no account needed. the terrain team reviews reports reactively — there is no proactive surveillance and no verification system; the directory stays honest because its people do. when a report is upheld, the profile or its images are unpublished or removed and the owner is notified with the reason. these guidelines are part of the terms of service.
