Community rules
On Say It you can say what you feel, even with strong words: anger, sadness and frustration are welcome. These rules protect you, your readers and the people you talk about.
What's fine
- Telling an experience, even angrily or with swear words.
- Venting about someone who can't be identified ("my boss", "my mother-in-law", "my ex").
- Using only a first name ("Mark left me").
- Common expressions like "Oh my God" or "I could kill him" said out of frustration.
What's not allowed
- Personal data of anyone: full names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, social media profiles, workplaces together with a name.
- Real threats of violence against someone.
- Hate and discrimination against groups based on origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability.
- Harassment of an identifiable person.
- Sexually explicit content and any sexual content involving minors.
- Blasphemy.
- Advertising, links and spam.
- Content promoting illegal activities.
- Nicknames that are offensive or imitate Say It, its staff or famous people.
How moderation works
Every post, edit and nickname is checked before publication:
- Automatic rules immediately block phone numbers, emails, social media handles, links and explicit blasphemy.
- An artificial intelligence system assesses the context and decides whether the post can be published, needs rephrasing, contains personal data or must be checked by a person.
- A person checks posts under review and reported posts, usually within 72 hours.
Possible outcomes: published; published with help resources (if the post suggests a very difficult moment; in these cases we don't show it among the most popular, don't share it on social media and don't place ads next to it); under review; to be rephrased or contains personal data (the post is not saved and you can correct it). Automatic checks can make mistakes: that's why there are human review and appeals.
Reporting content
From the ••• menu of any post choose Report and give the reason. The author won't know who reported. After 3 reports from different people the post is hidden until we check it. You can also report by writing to kida.mancinimesi@gmail.com with the text and the reason; for illegal content, explain why you believe it is illegal.
Removals and appeals
If we remove your post you get a notification and find the reason in My posts. For serious or repeated breaches the profile may be restricted and will no longer be able to post. If you think a decision is wrong, write to kida.mancinimesi@gmail.com within 6 months, indicating the post: a person will review the decision and reply. You also keep the right to turn to an out-of-court dispute settlement body or to the courts (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, "Digital Services Act").
