Community Guidelines

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Shucks is a community for oyster lovers to share tastings, notes, and photos. To keep it a welcoming place, everyone who posts content agrees to follow these guidelines. Content or accounts that violate them may be removed, and repeat or serious violations may result in a permanent ban.

What's not allowed

Do not post, upload, or share content that is:

Harassing or hateful — attacks, slurs, or threats against people based on who they are.
Sexually explicit — nudity or pornographic material.
Violent or graphic — gore or content that promotes violence.
Spam or misleading — repetitive posts, scams, or fake reviews.
Impersonation — pretending to be another person, business, or Shucks itself.
Illegal — content that breaks the law or promotes illegal activity.
Exploitative of minors — we have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse or exploitation, and report it to the authorities.

Reporting and blocking

If you see something that breaks these rules, you can act on it directly in the app:

Report any tasting post or profile using the menu on that content. Reports are reviewed by our team, and reported content is hidden from you immediately.
Block any user from their profile or from their posts. Once blocked, you won't see each other's content, and you'll both unfollow each other. You can manage and undo blocks anytime under Profile → Blocked Users.

How we enforce

Shucks has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. There are no warnings and no exceptions.

We review every report and act within 24 hours — removing the offending content and terminating the account of the user who posted it. Reported content is hidden from the person who reported it immediately, while we review. We may remove any content and suspend or permanently terminate any account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, and we act on violations we discover on our own, not just those reported.
