Code of Conduct: Guidelines for Safe and Respectful Use of Gameflip

The Gameflip Code of Conduct governs all community interactions, listings, reviews, and messages. Because Gameflip is an all-ages marketplace, all users must maintain respectful communication, post appropriate media, provide honest item descriptions, and keep transactions entirely on-platform.

Core Policy Standards & Minor Supervision

• All-Ages Community: All listing images, titles, descriptions, and comments must be suitable for general audiences.
• Minor Usage: Minors under 18 must have an account supervised by a parent or legal guardian to buy or sell on Gameflip.
• Zero Tolerance: Attempts to commit fraud, deliver false items, or conduct off-platform trades result in an instant account ban.

Key Community Guidelines 

1. Appropriate Listing Content & Media

• All-Ages Media: Listing images, descriptions, and titles must be suitable for all ages and directly related to the item listed. Nudity, sexually explicit content, and graphic or gratuitous violence are strictly prohibited. 
• Mature Game Covers: If you are listing a mature-rated game with explicit cover art, you must censor or blur inappropriate content before posting your listing.
• Image Relevance: Listing images must directly represent the actual product or digital item being sold. 

2. Respectful Communication

• No Abusive Language: Listing descriptions, order chats, reviews, or comments should not contain profanity, hate speech, bullying, abusive language, or harassing content.
• Constructive Feedback: Reviews must reflect genuine trade experiences without personal attacks, threat attempts, or harassment. 

3. Accurate Descriptions & Prompt Delivery

• Accurate Conditions: Items listed must match their described condition and specifications (e.g., region, platform, functionality). Misrepresenting items voids seller protection and may trigger buyer refunds.
• Timely Fulfillment: Sellers must ship items promptly once sold. Marking an item as delivered without completing the transfer is treated as fraud and results in an immediate account ban. 

4. Privacy & Platform Protection

• Keep Information Private: Do not post personal or financial details—such as full names, email addresses, phone numbers, or social media handles (e.g., Discord)—in public listings or order messages.  
• In-System Transactions: All negotiations, payments, and trade confirmations must take place exclusively within Gameflip to remain eligible for the Gameflip Guarantee.
