Hello from the OzyKozy Admin Team.

Below are the guidelines for using the Events/Meetups channel.

1. Channel Purpose

• This channel is for sharing and organizing various gatherings and events: regular meetups, spontaneous small meetups, language exchanges, sports or exercise groups, study sessions/seminars, cultural performances, festivals/events, parties/birthdays, networking events, volunteer activities, and other community-driven gatherings.

• The goal is to foster community connection: helping members meet, share interests, exchange information, and create memories through group activities.

2. Basic Principles

• Respect & Consideration: Members come from diverse backgrounds and preferences. Please respect each other’s choices and treat everyone with courtesy.

• Honesty & Transparency: Clearly state the event’s purpose, date/time, location, participation fee (if any), number of participants, and any conditions or requirements. Misleading or exaggerated information is prohibited.

• Safety & Responsibility: For offline events, ensure that venue, capacity, and safety considerations are appropriate. Include a contact person or organizer when possible.

• Privacy Protection: Do not share private personal information (phone numbers, addresses, identifications) about attendees or third parties without consent.

• Constructive Community Spirit: Focus on positive, helpful sharing — encourage feedback and respect for different opinions, avoid negativity or hostility.

3. Allowed Posts

You may post:

• Announcements for regular meetups or small spontaneous gatherings (language exchange, hobbies, sports, study groups, etc.)

• One-time events: concerts, festivals, cultural events, parties, volunteering events, networking events, etc.

• Calls for companions or group participants — e.g. looking for travel buddies, workout partners, club members

• Event reviews or follow-up posts: sharing experience, photos, feedback, tips for future attendees

• Study sessions, seminars, workshops, or hobby classes organized by community members

4. Prohibited Content & Actions

Do not post or promote:

• Misleading or false event information (exaggerated promises, incorrect date/venue, etc.)

• Events promoting or facilitating illegal, unsafe, or unethical activities (violence, abuse, exploitation, unlawful behavior)

• Sharing personal sensitive data of others without explicit consent

• Discriminatory, hateful, or abusive content based on race, gender, religion or other protected characteristics

• Political or religious propaganda, radical political events, or divisive political/religious gatherings unrelated to the community’s purpose

• Commercial advertising, referral links, sponsorship solicitation, or profit-driven promotions without prior admin approval

• Spam, duplicate postings, flooding the channel with repeated content

• Sharing copyrighted photos, videos, or content without permission or proper attribution

• Explicit, violent, or otherwise offensive content unfit for general audiences

5. How to Create a Good Event Post 💡

• Include event name, purpose, date/time, location (with address or map link), participation cost (if any), capacity/participant limit, contact person or organizer info, and clear instructions to join.

• Use clear, concise titles and descriptions — avoid gimmicky or sensational formatting.

• If images, flyers, or maps are included — ensure you have the right to share them, or use your own.

• When requesting companions or participants — specify what you’re looking for (age, language, activity level, preferences, etc.) to help match properly.

• After the event, consider posting a review or feedback — what went well, what to prepare next time, helpful tips, etc.

6. Safety & Liability

• Participation in offline events is at your own risk. Confirm venue, transport, safety, and meet-up logistics yourself.

• If you notice unsafe behavior, illegal activity, or harassment — report immediately to admins or block the user.

• The community does not guarantee safety or outcomes; participation is voluntary, and members are responsible for their own decisions.

7. Disclaimer

• All event postings are created by community members voluntarily. We do not guarantee accuracy or that the details remain up-to-date.

• Before joining any event, please verify details directly with the organizer (date, location, costs, etc.).

• OzyKozy is not responsible for any issues, damages, or legal matters arising from participation; responsibility lies with event organizers and participants.

We hope this channel helps build a vibrant, friendly, and safe community for everyone’s gatherings and events.
