Community
Rules & Guidelines
The rules and expectations for everyone using the NNAWCA platform.
Our goal is simple
Create a safe, respectful, high-signal space for Navodayans to connect, contribute, and grow.
Platform-Wide Principles (Read This First)
- This is not a public social network.
- This is a closed alumni & student community.
- Identity, dignity, and contribution matter more than virality.
- Moderation exists to protect culture, not control opinions.
Identity & Eligibility Rules
- Only verified Navodayans (students, alumni, teachers) may use the platform.
- Impersonation, fake profiles, or misrepresentation will lead to permanent removal.
- One person = one account.
- Sharing accounts is not allowed.
Relevance Rule (Stay on Purpose)
Allowed
- Alumni life
- Student support
- Career guidance
- School memories
- Mentorship
- Events, welfare, and service
- Intellectual games and discussions
Not allowed
- Irrelevant politics or religious debates
- National or ideological propaganda
- Content unrelated to Navodaya, education, or alumni life
Contextual mentions are fine. Agenda-pushing is not.
Respect & Conduct (Zero Tolerance Zone)
- Personal attacks or name-calling
- Harassment or intimidation
- Racism, casteism, regional hate
- Sexism or gender-based insults
- Homophobia or slurs of any kind
- Mocking someone's background, English, salary, or profession
- Sharing private information without consent
Criticism is allowed. Disrespect is not. Severe violations may result in immediate permanent bans.
No Toxic Fan or Batch Behavior
- No batch-shaming
- No house-bashing
- No "my batch is superior" narratives
- No targeting of specific groups or years
Healthy pride is encouraged. Batch & house games exist for fun and bonding, not hostility.
No Spam, Self-Promotion, or Marketing Abuse
- No unsolicited promotion of businesses, services, or products
- No affiliate links, referral farming, or external funneling
- Alumni businesses may post only in designated sections
- Repeated self-promotion will be treated as spam
Contribution first. Promotion later.
Content Quality Rules (Signal Over Noise)
- No low-effort posts ("Agree?", "Thoughts?" without substance)
- No reposting the same content across multiple groups
- No clickbait titles or misleading headlines
- No excessive emojis or all-caps shouting
- No copy-paste forwards without context
Quality over quantity is expected.
Language & Accessibility
- Posts may be in any Indian language or English
- If posting in a regional language, add a short English summary
- Images, videos, memes, gifs, or screenshots must include context
We value inclusion without excluding understanding.
Games, Polls & Engagement Rules
- Only platform-approved games are allowed
- No daily voting games created by users
- No manipulation of scores, streaks, or leaderboards
- Exploits, cheating, or automation will result in bans
Games exist for mental engagement, not farming points.
Student Safety Rules (Very Important)
- Students (Classes 6–12) are protected users
- No unsolicited DMs to students
- Mentorship must happen through approved channels
- No inappropriate advice, pressure, or personal contact
Any violation here is treated as serious misconduct.
Moderation & Enforcement
- Moderators are alumni volunteers
- Decisions are based on intent, impact, and pattern
- Not every violation leads to a ban; warnings may apply
- Repeated or severe violations escalate quickly
Arguing publicly with moderators is discouraged. Use official support or moderation channels.
Reporting & Appeals
- Report content that violates rules instead of engaging
- False or abusive reporting may lead to penalties
- Appeals can be submitted respectfully
- Moderation decisions may be reviewed but not publicly debated
Zero-Tolerance Violations (Instant Action)
- Racism, caste hate, or violent speech
- Sexual harassment
- Threats or doxxing
- Student safety violations
- Coordinated harassment or trolling
The following may result in immediate permanent removal:
Final Note
NNAWCA is built on trust, shared roots, and responsibility. If something makes the platform:
- Safer → allowed
- More respectful → encouraged
- More useful → celebrated
If not, it doesn't belong here.
