Community Guidelines
Our experts and users – the community – are the pulse of bloss. The following guidelines are here to help you understand what it means to be a member of bloss, whether you're interacting with each other or members of our team. Failure to abide by these guidelines may result in strikes recorded to your bloss account, removal of content, or account deletion.
There's a real person behind each user and expert profile and support email. Bloss is not a venue for you to harass, abuse, bully, or intimidate others. Do not use public community spaces such as our chat forum to dispute transactions, provide site-related feedback, or report technical issues. Instead, contact our Support team at
[email protected] for assistance with these issues, and we’ll help you out right away.
The following is prohibited in any area of the site:
Harassment, Hate Speech, and Explicit or Illegal Content
Uploading content that is inappropriate, offensive, hateful, contains objectionable language, or that promotes stereotypes of individuals or groups based on race, gender, religion, age, nationality, political affiliation or sexual orientation
Uploading explicit or violent content
Uploading content that makes reference to weapons, as well as activities that can be considered dangerous or that have the potential to lead to physical harm

Fraudulent Activity
Uploading content that promotes dubious business schemes or promises a specific outcome to our users
Impersonating an expert
Engaging in fraudulent or misleading expert, shop or content review activity (including but not limited to: using multiple identities, email addresses or bloss accounts, providing false or misleading information, or attempting to "game" the trending algorithm)
Self-Promotion
If the goal of your content or community participation is to gain engagement outside of bloss, it is likely not aligned with the spirit of the platform. The following Guidelines apply to all users on all areas of the site:
Any untargeted, unwanted, or repetitive content posted to community spaces (chat forums, comments, shop) may be removed.
If you are an expert, self-promotion (ex: mentioning other websites you teach on, mentioning your own website, asking for followers or subscribers on other platforms), should be limited to the intro and outro videos of your class only, unless you have gained approval from bloss directly
Using your profile or any community space primarily as a proxy to other websites, services, or competitors is not tolerated
