Alpheus Community Guidelines
Alpheus is a running app built around small, supportive groups (Circles). To keep Circles a welcoming place, every member agrees to follow these guidelines.
What's not allowed
You may not post or send:
- Harassment, threats, or targeted abuse of any member
- Hate speech based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics
- Sexual or explicit content — Alpheus is a fitness app, not a social network
- Content involving the sexual exploitation of minors (CSAM) — this is reported to NCMEC and law enforcement immediately
- Illegal activity including drug sales, weapons, or violence
- Spam, scams, or impersonation of other people or brands
- Doxxing — sharing another person's private information without consent
How we enforce these rules
- Automated screening. Messages and photos run through automated moderation before posting. Flagged content is blocked.
- Member reports. Long-press any message, photo, or member profile to report it. We review every report within 24 hours.
- Blocking. You can block any member at any time from their profile or via long-press. Blocking is private — they aren't notified.
Consequences for violations
Depending on severity, we may:
- Remove the offending content
- Warn the responsible member
- Suspend the account temporarily
- Permanently terminate the account
- Report illegal content to law enforcement
Appeals + contact
If you believe content of yours was removed in error, or you need to report something not covered above, email community@stokedbear.com. We respond within 48 hours.
