Train hard. Be decent.
In Riven, your workouts can appear on your profile, and you can post text and photos, give kudos, comment, follow other lifters and join challenges. These guidelines say what is allowed. They are part of our Terms of Service (§ 6A). When you post, comment or add a photo, you agree to them.
1. Not allowed
- Harassment and bullying — insulting, threatening, shaming or targeting anyone, including about their body, weight, strength or appearance.
- Hate — attacking people for race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or any other protected characteristic.
- Sexual content and nudity — no sexual content, no nudity, and nothing sexual involving anyone under 18, ever.
- Violence and self-harm — no threats, glorified violence, or content that encourages self-harm, eating disorders or dangerous weight loss.
- Dangerous advice — no promotion of illegal drugs, anabolic steroids or other substances without a prescription, or training advice that puts people at risk.
- Spam and scams — no advertising, selling, links to scams, fake giveaways or repeated messages.
- Impersonation and private information — do not pretend to be someone else, and never post another person's private information (address, phone number, photos taken without consent).
- Cheating — do not fake workouts or scores to climb the weekly league or win a challenge.
- Anything illegal — or content you do not have the right to share.
2. Photos
Only post photos you took or have the right to share. Do not post photos of other people without their permission. Riven removes location data from photos on your phone before they are uploaded.
3. Usernames, names and bios
The same rules apply to usernames, display names, bios and challenge titles. We may change a username that breaks them.
4. Your controls
- Report — every post, comment, reply, profile and challenge has a Report option in its "…" menu.
- Block — block anyone from their post or profile. You stop seeing each other's posts, comments and profiles. Unblock in Settings → Social → Blocked lifters.
- Go private — make your profile private so only the followers you approve see your workouts.
- Delete — delete any of your posts, comments or photos at any time, or your whole Riven profile in Settings → Account.
5. How we enforce them
Text is checked by an automatic filter before it is published. People's reports are reviewed by us, and we act on them within 24 hours: we remove the content, and depending on how serious it is we warn, suspend or permanently ban the account. Removed content is kept for 90 days so a decision can be appealed, then deleted. To appeal or to report something urgent, email support@riven.fit.
