Community Guidelines

Red Thread Events is a room full of people who came out for trivia night, karaoke, an open mic, or a game night. These guidelines exist so it stays a room worth coming back to. Be decent to the people around you, keep it appropriate for a public venue, and remember that a real person is behind every name on the screen.

These guidelines apply anywhere your words reach someone else: team names, display names shown on event screens, creator profiles and their comments, question suggestions, bounty answers, and anything you send us through the platform. They work alongside our Terms of Service, which govern your account overall.

Everyone in the room is there to have a good night, including the host, the venue staff, and the team that is losing badly. Harassment, bullying, threats, and hate speech have no place at a Red Thread event or on this platform.

Specifically, do not: target anyone with slurs or hate speech based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or appearance; bully, demean, or pile on another attendee, team, or host; sexually harass anyone or direct unwanted sexual content at them; or use the platform to threaten or intimidate.

Heckling the questions is part of trivia. Heckling a person is not.

Team names, display names, and profile content are shown on screens in bars, restaurants, and other public venues, in front of an audience nobody chose. That audience sets the bar: if it would get you asked to leave the venue, it does not belong on the screen.

A clever team name that makes the room laugh is the whole point. Slurs, sexual content, and content targeting an individual are not, and a host may decline to display them.

Scores, streaks, and leaderboard standings mean something only if the game is honest. Do not look up answers during live play, coordinate answers between teams, sign in as more than one team or attendee to gain an advantage, or submit a question suggestion you copied from a paid source you do not have the right to share.

Do not impersonate another attendee, team, host, venue, or business, whether through a display name, a team name, or a creator profile.

Telling people about your band, your venue, or the other night you host is fine and welcome. Turning a comment thread, a team name, or a creator profile into an advertisement is not. Do not post repetitive or bulk content, run affiliate or referral schemes, farm follows or reactions, or push a product or off-platform channel at people who did not ask.

You keep ownership of what you post, and you are responsible for it. Only post content you have the right to post — do not upload someone else’s photo, artwork, or writing as your own.

Some of what you enter is public by design. Team names and display names appear on event screens and leaderboards, and a creator profile set to public is visible to anyone with the link. Treat anything you type into those fields as public, and do not put personal details there that you would not want a room of strangers to read.

If something breaks these guidelines, tell us. Creator profiles, comments, and events carry a report control, and reports go to Red Thread Events for review. You can also block another member, which removes their content and interactions from your view of the platform.

Review is done by a person, not an automated filter, so it is not instant. If something needs attention during a live event, tell the host in the room — they control what is shown on their event screens and can act immediately.

When content breaks these guidelines we remove it. Where behavior is repeated or serious — harassment campaigns, hate speech, threats, or impersonation — we may restrict or close the account involved, as provided in our Terms of Service. Submitting deliberately false reports is itself a violation.

For anything urgent, or for a moderation decision you think we got wrong, email garrett@garrettmakesit.com.

You must be at least 13 years old to hold a Red Thread Events account, as stated in our Terms of Service. Individual events may have their own age restrictions set by the venue — the venue’s rules apply in the room regardless of what your account allows.

Questions about these guidelines? Email garrett@garrettmakesit.com. To report a specific profile, comment, or event, use the report control on the item itself so it reaches the review queue directly.
