CoCo’s community is a place for parents, guardians, and expecting parents to support each other. These Guidelines explain what is and isn’t allowed. They are part of our Terms of Service — by posting, you agree to follow them.
Golden rule: be kind, be honest, protect kids — yours and everyone else’s.
1. Be kind and constructive
- Assume good faith. Parenting is hard; everyone is doing their best.
- Disagree without attacking. No personal insults, slurs, or harassment.
- No pile-ons. Report content you find problematic instead of dog-piling.
2. Protect children
- Do not post identifying information about any child, including full name, school name, exact address, or photos of children other than your own.
- Do not post sexually explicit, sexually suggestive, or sexualized content involving minors. Ever. This is a permanent ban and may be reported to authorities.
- Do not share content that glorifies or depicts child abuse, neglect, or endangerment.
- Be thoughtful about sharing photos of your own children — once something is public, it’s hard to fully undo.
3. No harmful, illegal, or dangerous content
Do not post content that:
- Encourages suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders.
- Encourages violence, hate, or discrimination against people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
- Promotes illegal drugs, weapons, or other illegal activity.
- Contains medical, legal, or financial advice claiming to be from a licensed professional when it is not.
- Promotes unsafe sleep practices, untested supplements/"cures," non-evidence-based medical claims, or anti-vaccination misinformation that could endanger a child.
- Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights.
4. No spam or commercial abuse
- Do not post unsolicited advertising, MLM pitches, affiliate links, or repetitive promotional content.
- Do not impersonate brands, professionals, or other community members.
- Do not use the community to scrape, train AI models on community content, or build a competing service.
5. Privacy — yours and others
- Don’t share someone else’s private information (address, phone number, medical info, images) without their permission.
- If you share a story involving your partner, family member, or another parent, please respect their privacy. Use initials or pseudonyms where possible.
- Remember that posts are visible to all signed-in CoCo users.
6. Moderation and enforcement
We use a combination of automated moderation and human review.
- Reporting: tap the "Report" menu on any post or reply. We review reports typically within 24 hours.
- Automatic hold: posts flagged by our moderation classifiers are hidden pending human review.
- Takedowns: we may remove posts, hide accounts, issue warnings, or permanently ban accounts that violate these Guidelines.
- Appeals: if your content was removed in error, reply to the notice email within 30 days to request human review.
- Law enforcement: we may cooperate with lawful requests and will report suspected child-sexual-abuse material and credible imminent threats to life to appropriate authorities.
