Community Guidelines

Effective July 14, 2026

What belongs here

Shiesty welcomes lawful discussion of collections, catalog items, optics, ammunition, builds, maintenance, range experiences, safety, history, and the prices users previously paid. A lawful firearm, ammunition package, optic, ordinary weapon term, or range scene is not a violation by itself.

What is prohibited

  • Offering, arranging, soliciting, or directing people to an external sale, trade, shipment, or transfer of firearms, ammunition, suppressors, receivers, or other regulated items.
  • Credible threats, encouragement of violence, unlawful or reckless weapon use, or instructions that facilitate violent wrongdoing.
  • Hate, slurs, harassment, bullying, impersonation, or targeting a person because of a protected characteristic.
  • Sexual exploitation, sexual content, or content involving the abuse or exploitation of minors.
  • Graphic violence, self-harm instructions, or content that encourages suicide or self-injury.
  • Doxxing, posting another person's private contact or identifying information, or sharing private vault information without permission.
  • Spam, scams, malicious links, repetitive promotion, or attempts to manipulate engagement.
  • Illegal content or content that infringes another person's rights.

“WTS Glock $500, DM me” is prohibited sale solicitation. “I paid $500 for this Glock” is historical purchase-price discussion and is not treated as a sale offer without other sale signals.

How moderation works

Intended-public text and images may be screened before publication. Clear violations can be blocked. Uncertain content is held privately with an “Awaiting review” status while a moderator reviews it. Content does not enter feeds, counts, mentions, search, notifications, or engagement systems until approved. New social video uploads are unavailable at launch.

Moderators may approve, reject, remove, restore, restrict, or ban based on context and account history. We aim to review pending cases and user reports within 24 hours. Serious or repeated violations may result in immediate account action.

Report, block, and appeal

Use the in-app menu to report objectionable profiles, posts, or comments and to block another user. Blocking immediately removes that person's content from your experience and prevents follow interactions. Reports are reviewed by a human. If your submission is rejected, you may file one appeal within 30 days from its review status. For help or an appeal, email support@shiesty.io.

Immediate safety help

If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 911. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Shiesty moderation and support are not emergency services.
