Community Guidelines

Raqs Atlas is a professional community. These guidelines keep it useful and safe.

Last updated July 2026

What we expect

  • Treat dancers, teachers, organizers and other members with respect, including when you disagree.
  • Criticism of work is welcome; attacks on people are not.
  • Write reviews from real experience and say what that experience was.
  • Share only photos, videos and music you own or have permission to use.
  • Respect other people's privacy — no personal details, private messages or images shared without consent.

What is not allowed

  • Harassment, hate speech or discrimination of any kind
  • Impersonating another dancer, teacher, organizer or brand
  • Spam, scams and undisclosed paid promotion
  • Fake or incentivised reviews, including reviews of your own work
  • Sexual content, and any content involving minors inappropriately
  • Deliberate misinformation about people, events or history
  • Counterfeit or unlawful products

Moderation

Reviews, comments, profile changes and marketplace listings are checked before or shortly after publication. Anyone can report content using the Report link that appears beside it. A moderator reviews every report.

Consequences

Depending on what happened, we may take no action, issue a warning, ask for an edit, remove content, temporarily restrict posting, suspend a seller listing, or suspend or close an account. Serious cases may be escalated where the law requires it.
