Community Guidelines
Trawlist is built for video enthusiasts to discover, rate, review, and curate content. These guidelines ensure our community remains welcoming, authentic, and inspiring for everyone.
Respectful Discussion
Treat creators and community members with kindness. Critique content constructively without personal attacks.
Authentic Ratings
Log genuine watch activity and honest scores. Score manipulation, botting, or vote brigading is strictly forbidden.
Constructive Reviews
Write meaningful reviews and thoughts that add value to fellow video enthusiasts.
Thoughtful Curation
Build creative playlists and lists that help others discover high-quality content across YouTube.
Community Rules & Expectations
Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech & Harassment
We do not tolerate harassment, bullying, hate speech, threats of violence, discrimination (based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, or disability), or doxxing of creators or community members.
Keep Reviews & Comments Constructive
Disagreeing with a video or creator is completely acceptable, but keep feedback focused on the video, ideas, and production value. Avoid personal insults, defamatory claims, or malicious spam.
No Rating Manipulation, Bots, or Spam
Do not create multiple fake accounts to artificially inflate or lower video ratings, spam review sections with affiliate links, or mass-upvote content. All logs must reflect real user activity.
Respect Intellectual Property & Content Safety
Do not post links to pirated content, malware, phishing sites, or sexually explicit material in reviews, notes, list descriptions, or user profile handles.
Protect Privacy in Public Content
Private Notes are visible only to you, but Public Reviews, Lists, and Profile details are shared with the community. Ensure public content adheres to these guidelines.
Enforcement & Moderation
How we handle violations to protect the community
When violations occur, our moderation team takes action based on severity and account history. Actions may include:
Offending reviews, lists, or spam content are removed, and a warning is issued.
Repeated or serious violations result in temporary account suspension.
Severe violations (hate speech, doxxing, automated spamming) lead to permanent account termination.
