Community Guidelines

StopMe works best when people help each other make better purchase decisions without making the person asking for help feel worse.

A simple rule:

Judge the purchase, not the person.

Be Useful

When voting SKIP, WAIT, or BUY, try to help with the decision.

Useful advice might include:

  • why the item may not be worth the money;
  • whether waiting could help;
  • a practical alternative;
  • something the buyer may have overlooked; or
  • why you think the purchase actually makes sense.

You do not have to agree with other voters.

Be Respectful

Do not attack or shame someone because of:

  • what they want to buy;
  • how much money they have;
  • their appearance;
  • their lifestyle;
  • their identity; or
  • their intelligence.

Disagreement is fine. Personal attacks are not.

Protect Privacy

Do not post private or sensitive information about yourself or someone else, including:

  • home addresses;
  • phone numbers;
  • passwords;
  • financial-account details; or
  • private identifying information.

Do Not Post Harmful or Illegal Content

Do not use StopMe for:

  • threats or targeted harassment;
  • scams or fraud;
  • malicious links or software;
  • illegal transactions;
  • sexual exploitation or abuse of minors;
  • content that unlawfully infringes intellectual-property rights; or
  • other content that violates applicable law.
