Community Guidelines

Sign-Out is a place to celebrate graduation. These guidelines keep it kind, honest, and inspiring.

1. Our Values

We promote:

  • Respect for every graduate and visitor
  • Positivity in messages, prayers, and signatures
  • Celebration of academic achievement
  • A welcoming community across schools and disciplines

2. Be Kind

Treat every graduate and contributor with respect. Disagreement is fine; cruelty is not. When in doubt, write the message you would want to receive on your own graduation page.

3. Prohibited Content

Do not post or send:

  • Abuse, harassment, or threats
  • Hate speech targeting people based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, or background
  • Fraudulent or deceptive content
  • Spam, scams, or unsolicited promotions
  • Sexually explicit material
  • Personal data of others without consent

We may hide, remove, or moderate any content that violates this policy, and may suspend or remove repeat offenders.

4. Authenticity

Be yourself. Do not impersonate another person, university, or organisation. Do not manipulate gifts, signatures, or Hall of Fame standings.

5. Reporting

If you see something that violates these guidelines, report it via the Support page. We review reports and act where appropriate.

6. Enforcement

Depending on severity we may:

  • Hide or remove specific content
  • Issue a warning
  • Suspend gift collection or Hall of Fame status
  • Permanently close the account

Serious violations such as fraud or threats may be reported to law enforcement.
