Community Guidelines

Tapnudge is a human feedback app. These rules keep nudges useful, consent-aware, and safe for everyday decisions.

False, Deceptive, and Manipulative Practices

Tapnudge works only when people can trust the question, the options, and the voting environment.

What this means for nudges

A nudge should not trick people into voting under false assumptions. Do not manipulate context, impersonate others, or use fake engagement to distort sentiment.

Not allowed

False or misleading claims likely to cause harm, including deceptive health, civic, financial, safety, or emergency claims.
Edited, synthetic, or AI-generated content presented as real in a way that misleads users.
Impersonating a person, company, creator, public figure, or Tapnudge itself.
Vote manipulation, fake accounts, bots, coordinated artificial engagement, scams, phishing, or spam.
Nudges designed to harvest credentials, private images, money, or personal information.

Allowed with care

Parody or opinion when it is clear to a reasonable viewer and not used to defame, scam, or manipulate.
AI-assisted content if users are not misled and the content follows all Tapnudge rules.

Enforcement

We may remove deceptive content, reduce visibility, restrict accounts, or use technical measures to protect vote integrity and user safety.

Questions and Examples

Can I use AI images in a nudge?

Yes, if you have the rights to use them, they are not harmful or misleading, and they do not violate another person’s privacy, identity, or intellectual property.

Can I ask friends to vote on my nudge?

Yes. Honest sharing is fine. Fake accounts, bots, paid manipulation, or coordinated deception are not.
