OpenMic may, but is not obligated to, review, moderate, remove, restrict, or take other action with respect to content that it determines, in its reasonable discretion, violates these Community Guidelines, the Membership Agreement, or other incorporated Policies.

The absence of enforcement in one instance does not waive OpenMic’s right to enforce these standards in other instances.

 

B.6 Future Communication Methods and Tools

These content standards apply to current and future communication methods, tools, and technologies adopted by OpenMic, including automated systems, AI-assisted moderation tools, and evolving platform features, provided such application remains consistent with applicable law and OpenMic’s policies.

 

 

Section C — Enforcement Authority

C.1 Discretionary Enforcement

Enforcement of these Community Guidelines is undertaken at OpenMic’s discretion. OpenMic may take action in response to conduct or content that it reasonably determines violates these Guidelines, the Membership Agreement, or any incorporated Policy.

OpenMic is not obligated to monitor all activity, review all content, or take action in every instance of a potential violation.

 

C.2 Available Enforcement Actions

C.4 No Waiver

Failure to enforce these Community Guidelines in any particular instance does not constitute a waiver of OpenMic’s right to enforce these Guidelines or other Policies in the future.

 

C.5 Relationship to Other Agreements and Policies

Enforcement actions taken under these Community Guidelines are independent of, and in addition to, any rights or remedies available to OpenMic under the Membership Agreement, incorporated Policies, or applicable law.

Nothing in these Community Guidelines limits OpenMic’s right to pursue other remedies, including termination of membership or legal action, where appropriate.

 

C.6 Tiered Communities and Access Control

OpenMic may apply enforcement actions differently across tiers, programs, or gated communities based on the nature of the access granted, the sensitivity of the environment, or the requirements of specific initiatives, provided such actions remain consistent with the Membership Agreement and applicable law.

Members may report suspected violations through the reporting channels designated by OpenMic from time to time, which may include:

• Platform-based reporting tools
   

• Direct communication with OpenMic through designated support or contact methods

Upon receiving a report, OpenMic may review the information provided and determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether any action is warranted. OpenMic may request additional information or clarification where appropriate.

OpenMic does not guarantee a response, resolution, or specific outcome in connection with any report.

OpenMic has the right, but not the obligation, to investigate, moderate, or take enforcement action in response to any report or information received. Decisions regarding enforcement, timing, and scope of action are made at OpenMic’s discretion.

Members are expected to submit reports in good faith. Reports made for the purpose of harassment, retaliation, or abuse of the reporting process may themselves constitute a violation of these Community Guidelines.
