• REPORTING VIOLATIONS:
  We aim to create and foster a community where our users’ behavior is in line with these guidelines and where individuals hold each other accountable for their use of the platform. When this fails, we also have various measures in place to help us keep track of certain kinds of content that violate our Terms & Conditions.
  As a general rule we’re unable to prescreen or proactively search for many kinds of content. As such, it’s possible you might come across content that you don’t wish to see. In these cases, please ignore such content and block those who share it to avoid it in the future. That said, if you encounter any content that clearly violates these guidelines or our Terms & Conditions or is otherwise illegal – including impersonation, abusive or threatening behavior, pornography or malicious speech – please report this. Our Team will review all reports objectively, and remove any content that violates our policies and Agreements or applicable law. To report content please do so mail us at team@xellerates.com.
  Please bear in mind that something you find unacceptable, may not be a violation of our Policies and Agreements or illegal. We try to maintain a fair and balanced approach, but reporting content will not always result in that content being removed if it does not violate our guidelines, Terms of Use or applicable law.
