Community standards
Invitation without pressure.
DraftPeople should help communities recognize trustworthy people while preserving the dignity and choice of everyone involved.
Be accurate
Name the person you actually mean, do not knowingly draft a person under 18, and suggest possible offices honestly. For a state or district office, draft someone only when you reasonably believe they belong with an office where you could vote for them; otherwise share DraftPeople with the person or a voter in their area. Do not exaggerate candidacy status, affiliation, qualifications, or supporter numbers.
Respect consent
A draft is an invitation, not an obligation. Respect a person’s decision to consider, accept, decline, or hide a profile. Do not repeatedly recreate a hidden card to evade that decision.
Protect privacy
Do not publish street addresses, private phone numbers, private email addresses, identification documents, financial information, health information, or other sensitive personal data. A Facebook address shared into the iPhone app stays private on that device; do not copy it into a public DraftPeople field. If the app offers “Share this draft,” write your own honest message, review both links, and choose the audience yourself. Never use a draft announcement to organize harassment or unwanted contact. After taking control of a profile, the person may choose their own public website or contact-page links.
No manipulation or harassment
Do not impersonate people, create fake accounts, manufacture support, threaten or demean someone, coordinate unwanted contact, discriminate unlawfully, or use DraftPeople to target vulnerable people.
Disagreement is allowed
People may support more than one possible candidate and may not yet know a person’s party. Support is exploratory and can be withdrawn. DraftPeople serves people across parties and independents; disagreement alone is not abuse.
Question office matches honestly
The private office-area concern is for a genuine belief that a person was connected to the wrong office or voting area. It is not a vote against the person, a legal-eligibility ruling, or a tool for suppressing someone you oppose. DraftPeople may restrict accounts that coordinate false concerns.
Block when you need distance
From a person profile, you can privately block the account connected to it. DraftPeople removes that account’s related profiles from your matches and withdraws your support for them. The blocked account is not notified. Blocking is reversible from your dashboard and does not send a report to DraftPeople.
Report concerns privately
If a card is wrong, duplicated, unwanted, or unsafe, use Report a problem. DraftPeople can review it without turning a sensitive concern into a public argument.
