Terms of Service


Welcome to crazypeople.online. These Terms of Service outline the rules and guidelines for participation on our platform. By using our services, you agree to comply with these terms and contribute to a constructive community environment.

1. Jurisdiction & Data Location

Our services are hosted on dedicated infrastructure located in Finland. By using this platform, you acknowledge that your data is stored and processed in Finland and is subject to the laws of Finland and the regulations of the European Union (EU).

2. Privacy & Data Rights

We value your privacy and data sovereignty.

  • Data Collection: We do not sell or trade user data. We collect only the data necessary to provide our services (e.g., login credentials, IP addresses for security logs, and content you voluntarily post).
  • Right to be Forgotten: In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to request the permanent deletion of your account and associated data. Requests for account deletion will be honored promptly and result in the purging of your user profile and content from our servers.

3. Community Standards

We are committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and safe space for all members. While open discussion and differing viewpoints are encouraged, all interactions must remain civil and free from personal attacks, harassment, or hateful conduct.

4. Prohibited Conduct

The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

  • Harassment & Abuse: Insulting, demeaning, or targeting individuals publicly or privately is unacceptable. Allegations of harassment should be reported to moderators immediately.
  • Misinformation & Disinformation: Deliberately spreading false or misleading information is prohibited.
  • Doxing & Privacy Violations: Sharing personally identifiable information about others or encouraging self-exposure is not permitted.
  • Spam & Disruptive Behavior: Trolling, baiting, flooding, or other attention-seeking actions detract from community discourse and will not be tolerated.
  • Illegal Content: Material that violates Finnish law, European Union regulations, or our NSFW policy is forbidden. This includes, but is not limited to, hate speech as defined by Finnish legislation (agitation against a population group) and Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

5. Content & Moderation

  • Violence & Threats: Direct calls to violence against individuals may be removed and may result in an immediate ban. Contextual evaluations apply.
  • Piracy Discussion: Discussions about piracy and links to external content are generally permitted for educational or discussion purposes. However, strictly no copyrighted material may be hosted on our servers. Users must ensure all infringing files remain off-site. We comply with valid takedown requests in accordance with the Finnish Copyright Act.
  • Opt-Out Participation: Users may disengage from discussions at any time. Community and user-specific filters should be utilized instead of engaging in disruptive behavior.

6. Limitation of Liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for any data loss, service interruptions, or unauthorized access to data. While we strive for stability and security, users are responsible for their own backups and account security.

7. Enforcement & Discretion

  • Moderators may impose additional rules within specific communities as they see fit. Our members are obliged to follow these Terms of Service in addition to any community specific rules put in place.
  • We reserve the right to remove content or ban users for violations including those not explicitly listed to preserve platform integrity. Attempting to exploit technicalities or create moderator burden may still result in disciplinary action.

8. Policy Updates

These terms may be revised as needed. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any amendments.

For questions, concerns, or data deletion requests, contact a member of the admin team. Current admins are always listed at the bottom of the sidebar from our main page.
