Whisper System

One whisper per post. No coordinated engagement.

The Whisper system is Campus Whispers' engagement mechanism, similar to upvotes. You may whisper once per post (toggle on/off). Whisper counts contribute to post ranking and are publicly visible.

Whisper manipulation through multiple accounts or coordinated activity is a violation of these terms and will result in a permanent ban.

05

Communities

Post anywhere. Communities are platform-managed.

Posts must belong to exactly one university community. You may post in any community regardless of your actual university affiliation. Communities are managed by the platform administrator.

Users may suggest new communities through the Contact Admin feature on the homepage. The administrator reserves the right to create, modify, or remove any community at their discretion.

06

Moderation & Enforcement

Automated filters plus admin review. Bans are permanent.

Campus Whispers uses layered moderation to keep communities safe:

  • A banned word filter automatically blocks certain content at submission time
  • Rate limiting prevents spam limits apply per post, comment, and whisper
  • Posts receiving sufficient community reports are automatically hidden pending review
  • The administrator can delete posts, ban users, and manage all communities

Bans are permanent. Banned users lose access to all platform features immediately and without appeal.

07

Reporting

Report violations honestly. Abuse of reporting is itself a violation.

If you see content that violates these terms, use the reporting feature. Reports are reviewed by the platform administrator. Reported content may be hidden or removed at the administrator's discretion.

False or abusive reporting using the report feature to target users you dislike rather than actual violations may result in your account being banned.

08

By posting content on Campus Whispers, you grant the platform a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to display your content as part of the community feed and associated features.
