Community Guidelines
In effect from 1 September 2026
432 The Drop is a place for people who want to think out loud together. These are the rules of that room. They are short on purpose, and everything in them is something we actually do rather than something we intend to.
Who can be here
You must be 18 or over. That is not a formality — parts of this site host discussion and material that is not for children, and we do not have the tools to make it safe for them.
One account per person. Do not use a handle that pretends to be Khan Drop, a Guardian, or another member. The system already refuses a short list of reserved handles; the rule is broader than the list.
What is expected
Argue with the idea
Disagreement is the point of the place. Contempt for the person is not. You can take anything here apart; you cannot make someone the target.
Do not organise a pile-on
Calling others in to bury one person is not a debate, whatever the argument was about. That includes bringing a crowd here from somewhere else. The person on the receiving end experiences fifty replies, not fifty opinions, and we treat the organising as the offence rather than any single message in it.
Do not bring other people’s private things here
Someone’s address, workplace, phone number, or private messages are theirs. Posting them is not research, and it ends an account.
Post what is yours to post
If the words, music, or footage belong to someone else, you need their permission. The copyright owner can file a notice and a person reads every one.
Nothing sexual involving children, ever
Not as an image, not as a description, not as a joke, not as a hypothetical. This one has no second chance and no appeal.
Intimate images need consent
Do not share an intimate image of someone who did not agree to it being shared. That includes images made or altered with software or AI. If this has happened to you, you can tell us here without an account, and we act within 48 hours.
What you can do yourself
Most of what makes a room bearable is not moderation. It is the controls you hold.
Block is mutual and silent. You stop seeing them, they stop seeing you, and nobody is told. Their posts vanish from your view and yours from theirs, including things already written.
Mute is one-directional. You stop seeing them; they carry on unaware. Useful when someone is not doing anything wrong and you simply need quiet.
Report reaches a Guardian. You can report even if your own account is suspended — being in trouble does not take away your ability to raise something.
What we do
A Guardian can hide a message, remove a post, or suspend an account. Every one of those actions writes a record naming who did it, when, and why — a reason of at least eight characters is required by the database, not by policy, so an action without an explanation cannot be taken.
When a Guardian removes something of yours, it is marked as a Guardian removal rather than disguised as your own deletion. You can see the action taken against you, and you can appeal it.
There are also limits nobody chooses: how fast you can post, how many times a day, how often you can change your handle or your colour. They exist so that one person cannot fill the room, and they apply to everyone.
Repeat infringement
If copyright notices against your account are upheld more than once, you lose access to 432 The Drop. Notices that we rejected, or that you successfully disputed, do not count — only ones a Guardian looked at and agreed with.
This is written down because the law requires a policy that is actually applied, and because a rule nobody can see is a rule nobody can follow. Guardians can see the count.
If you disagree with a decision
Appeal it. A suspended account can still appeal — that path stays open precisely when you need it. Say what happened and why you think it was wrong. A person reads it.
We will not always agree with you. But you will get a reason, and the reason will be the real one, because it was written down at the moment the decision was made.
These guidelines will change as the place does. When they change in a way that matters, we will say so rather than quietly editing the page, and the date at the top will move. They form part of the Terms of Service, and what we hold about you is set out in the Privacy Policy. 432 The Drop Radio, 333 N Main Street #88, Cedar City, Utah 84720.
