1. Be kind. Always.
Every member of SnoutSync is here because they love an animal. Disagree respectfully. No harassment, hate speech, threats, casteist or communal slurs, body-shaming, or doxxing. Zero tolerance.

Community Guidelines
The simple rules that keep SnoutSync safe, useful and worth showing up for.
2. Real people, real pets
Use your real name and a real photo. Don't impersonate anyone — including vets, breeders, or other pet parents. Verified businesses must use their legal business name.
3. Pet welfare comes first
Don't post or promote: cruelty, fighting, breed-shaming, illegal animal sale, abandonment, or any content that endangers an animal. Posts glorifying mistreatment will be removed and the account suspended.
4. No unverified medical advice
Share experience and rally support, but don't diagnose or prescribe. For health concerns, always direct fellow members to a licensed veterinarian. Verified vets on SnoutSync may share educational content but must add a clear "not a substitute for an in-person consultation" disclaimer.
5. No spam, no scams
Don't repeatedly post the same content, run unauthorized giveaways, sell live animals outside the verified Breeder program, or solicit donations without prior approval. Affiliate links must be disclosed.
6. Respect privacy
Don't share someone else's phone number, address or photos without their consent. Don't screenshot private DMs into public communities.
7. Stay on topic
City communities are for that city's pet life. Don't crosspost political content, unrelated marketing, or off-topic memes.
8. Businesses & professionals
Verified vets, groomers, trainers, stores and breeders may answer questions in their area of expertise. Self-promotion is allowed in clearly marked business posts only — not inside every conversation. Soliciting reviews in exchange for discounts is prohibited.
9. Reporting
See something that breaks the rules? Use the "Report" button in the app or email trust@snoutsync.com. Reports are reviewed by humans within 48 hours.
10. Consequences
Depending on severity we may: remove the content, warn the member, temporarily suspend, permanently ban, revoke verification, or report to law enforcement. We log decisions to keep enforcement consistent.
11. Appeals
If you believe an action was a mistake, email appeals@snoutsync.com within 14 days. A different reviewer will look at your case.
