Acceptable Use Policy

1. Community Standards

Pigeon IQ was built to be a safe, positive, and constructive home for the pigeon fancy. We want to replace the toxicity sometimes found in general social media groups with a community focused on the birds and the sport.

To maintain this environment, we enforce strict community guidelines on "The Wall", in the Q&A sections, and across public profiles.

2. What is Not Allowed

When using Pigeon IQ, you agree not to:

• Harass or Abuse: Personal attacks, insults, or abusive language towards other fanciers or Race Controllers will result in an immediate ban.
• Falsify Records: Uploading fake pedigrees or claiming race results that you did not achieve undermines the entire global database.
• Spam: Repeatedly posting irrelevant links, unsolicited marketing, or cluttering The Wall.
• Sell Unverified Birds Deceptively: While you may post birds for sale, you must not lie about their lineage. We strongly encourage linking all sales to verified Pigeon IQ profiles.

3. Race Controller Respect

Race Controllers volunteer their time to ensure the safety of our birds. Disagreements over liberation times or weather calls are a part of the sport, but using Pigeon IQ to harass, dox, or abuse a Race Controller over a decision is strictly prohibited.

4. Moderation & Enforcement

We reserve the right to remove any content, delete posts, or suspend accounts that violate this policy. In cases of pedigree falsification, a "Disputed" badge may be permanently affixed to the birds in question to protect the integrity of the database.
