Community Guidelines
We want QSHIM to be an authentic and safe place for remembrance, love, and expression. Help us foster this community. Post only your own photos and videos and always follow the law. Respect everyone on QSHIM, don’t spam people or post divisive or offensive language, photos, or material about anyone.
We use the Community Guidelines to help foster and protect this amazing community this is sharing personal and inspirational content. By using QSHIM, you agree to these guidelines and our Terms of Use. We’re committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. Overstepping these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts, or other restrictions. In some cases, we allow content for public awareness which would otherwise go against our Community Guidelines – if it is newsworthy and in the public interest. We do this only after weighing the public interest value against the risk of harm.
Share only photos and videos that you’ve taken or have the right to share.
As always, you own the content you post on QSHIM. Remember to post authentic content, and don’t post anything you’ve copied or collected from the Internet that you don’t have the right to post.
Post content including writing, photos, and videos that are appropriate for your audience, whether private or public.
We know that there are times when people might share images that may be knowingly, or unknowingly, offensive to others. We do not allow subject matter characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, particularly one that is a minority or marginalized. This subject matter includes written words and phrases, also photos, videos, and digitally-created content that can be understood as potentially targeting other persons. For these and other safety reasons, there are times when we may remove images and content. Even when this content is shared with good intentions, it could be used or interpreted by others in unanticipated ways.
Foster meaningful and genuine interactions.
[Help us stay spam-free by not artificially collecting likes, followers, or shares, posting repetitive comments or content, or repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent.] Don’t offer money or giveaways of money in exchange for likes, followers, comments or other engagement. Don’t post content that engages in, promotes, encourages, facilitates, or admits to the offering, solicitation or trade of fake and misleading user reviews or ratings.
You have to use your real name on QSHIM, and we do require QSHIM users to provide us with accurate and up to date information. Don’t impersonate others and don’t create accounts for the purpose of violating our guidelines or misleading others.
Follow the law.
QSHIM is not a place to support or praise terrorism, organized crime, or hate groups. Offering sexual services, buying or selling firearms, alcohol, and tobacco products between private individuals, and buying or selling non-medical or pharmaceutical drugs are also not allowed. We also remove content that attempts to trade, co-ordinate the trade of, donate, gift, or ask for non-medical drugs, as well as content that either admits to personal use (unless in the recovery context) or coordinates or promotes the use of non-medical drugs. QSHIM also prohibits the sale of live animals between private individuals, though brick-and-mortar stores may offer these sales. No one may coordinate poaching or selling of endangered species or their parts.
Remember to always follow the law when offering to sell or buy other regulated goods. Accounts promoting online gambling, online real money games of skill or online lotteries must get our prior written permission before using any of our products.
We have zero tolerance when it comes to sharing sexual content involving minors or threatening to post intimate images of others.
Respect other members of the QSHIM community.
We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We remove content that contains any type of threat or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade or shame them, personal information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages. It’s never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases.
Be thoughtful when posting newsworthy events.
We understand that many people may use QSHIM to share important and newsworthy events in connection with their loved one. We do not allow graphic or disturbing images. Because so many different people and age groups use QSHIM, we may remove written content, photos, and videos to make sure QSHIM stays appropriate for everyone. We understand that people often share content to raise awareness or educate. If you do share content for these reasons, the content should not be offensive or advocate violence.
Help us keep the community strong:
- • Each of us is an important part of the QSHIM community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by reporting it to us. We have a team that reviews these reports and works as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. Even if you or someone you know doesn’t have an QSHIM account, you can still file a report. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove the content if either the imagery or associated captions or writing violate our guidelines.
- You may find content you don’t like, but doesn’t violate the Community Guidelines. If that happens, you can unfollow or block the person who posted it. If there’s something you don’t like in a comment on one of your accounts, you can delete that comment.
- Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between members of the community. If one of your photos or videos was posted by someone else, you could try commenting on the post and asking the person to take it down. If that doesn’t work, you can file a report with us. Don’t target the person who posted it by posting screenshots and drawing attention to the situation because that may be classified as harassment.
- We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.

Thank you for helping us create a strong, thoughtful, and honoring community in the world,
The QSHIM Team
