1. What these guidelines cover
These guidelines apply to everything you post or send on Forjex: posts, comments, photos and video, squad and battle activity, direct messages, your profile, your username, and anything you send to a coach or a client.
They apply to everyone, including coaches, verified accounts, and people with a large following. They are part of our Terms of Service. Breaking them can cost you a post, a feature, or your account.
The examples under each heading are there to show you what we mean. They are illustrative, not a complete list, and we will act on behaviour that clearly fits a category even when it is not written down below.
2. Bullying and harassment
Forjex is a training app. People post their body, their lifts, and their progress, often at the start of that progress. Do not make that a reason to go after them.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Insulting, mocking, or demeaning someone, including about their body or weight
- Repeatedly contacting someone who has asked you to stop, or evading a block
- Organising or joining a pile-on against a person
- Sexual comments or advances that are not wanted
3. Hate and discrimination
Do not attack, degrade, or call for the exclusion of people based on who they are. This covers race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, disability, serious illness, sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Slurs and dehumanising language
- Hateful stereotypes, symbols, or content that praises hate groups
- Saying a group does not belong here or does not deserve to train
4. Violence and threats
Do not threaten people, and do not use the platform to celebrate or plan harm.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Threatening to hurt or kill someone, in a post, a comment, or a message
- Posting someone's address or workplace so that others can find them
- Praising or promoting violent extremism or terrorism
Credible threats are reported to law enforcement where the law requires it or where we believe there is a real risk to someone's safety.
5. Sexual content and nudity
Progress photos, physique posts, and gym clothing are fine. Sexual content is not. Forjex has a minimum age of 16, higher in some countries, so people who are still under 18 use it.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Pornography or sexual acts
- Nudity or images posed for sexual gratification rather than to show progress
- Selling or soliciting sexual services
Any sexual content involving a minor is removed, the account is banned, and the content is reported to the relevant authorities. There is no warning for this.
6. Self-harm and eating disorders
Talking honestly about struggling is allowed, and we would rather people talk about it here than not at all. Encouraging harm is not.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Encouraging suicide, self-harm, or disordered eating
- Sharing methods, goal weights, or content that promotes starvation or purging
- Telling someone they should be smaller, or that they are not thin enough
If you are struggling, please talk to someone. In the UK you can call Samaritans free on 116 123, or contact Beat on 0808 801 0677 for eating disorder support.
7. Illegal activity
Do not use Forjex to break the law or to help other people break it.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Selling or sourcing steroids, prescription drugs, or other controlled substances
- Selling stolen goods, counterfeits, weapons, or fake documents
- Fraud, phishing, or trying to take over someone's account
8. Spam and manipulation
What surfaces on Forjex is meant to reflect what people actually find useful. Do not try to fake that.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Bulk, automated, or repetitive posting, commenting, following, or messaging
- Buying or trading followers, likes, or engagement, or running rings to inflate it
- Running multiple accounts to game rankings, battles, or leaderboards
- Faking lifts, workouts, or results to win a battle or climb a board
- Off-topic promotion, link spam, and unsolicited sales messages
9. Impersonation
Be who you say you are.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Pretending to be another person, a gym, or a brand
- Claiming to be a Forjex coach, employee, or verified account when you are not
- Using someone else's photos or name to make an account look real
Fan, parody, and commentary accounts are allowed if the profile makes clear that is what they are.
10. Privacy and other people's images
Gyms are shared spaces and other people did not agree to be in your post. Think before you film.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Posting someone's private information: address, phone number, or workplace
- Filming people in a gym without their agreement, to mock or expose them
- Sharing intimate images of someone without their consent
- Filming in changing rooms, showers, or toilets, for any reason
11. Dangerous or misleading health advice
A lot of what gets shared in fitness is wrong, and some of it is dangerous. You do not need a qualification to talk about your own training. You do need to not put people at risk.
Examples of what is not allowed:
- Promoting steroids or unlicensed substances, or telling people how to dose them
- Extreme calorie restriction, fasting, or dehydration protocols presented as advice
- Claiming to treat or cure a medical condition, or telling people to stop treatment
Nothing on Forjex, including AI-generated plans and targets, is medical advice. Talk to a doctor before making a significant change to how you train or eat.
12. Coaches
If you coach on Forjex you are held to all of the above, plus the basics of doing the job: be honest about your qualifications and what a client is paying for, keep what clients share with you private, and do not use your position to pressure someone.
13. How we enforce these guidelines
What we do depends on how serious it is, whether it looks deliberate, and whether it has happened before. In rough order:
- We remove the content and tell you why
- We restrict what your account can do, for example posting or messaging
- We suspend the account for a period
- We permanently ban the account
Severe cases skip straight to a permanent ban. That includes sexual content involving a minor, credible threats of violence, and coordinated attacks on a person.
When we act on your content or your account, we tell you what was removed, which part of these guidelines it broke, and how to appeal.
14. Reporting and blocking
Every post, comment, message, and profile has a report option behind the menu on it. Reports are reviewed by a person. Some content is also checked automatically, and a post or comment can be hidden by that check before a reviewer has seen it. When that happens you are told, and you can appeal it the same way. You can also block an account from its profile or from any post it made, which hides you from each other.
If something needs urgent attention, email contact@reliabilityworks.co.uk with a link to the content.
15. Appeals and contact
If you think we got a decision wrong, open Settings, then Privacy and Social, then Content decisions. Every decision we have made about your content is listed there with an Appeal button. You have 30 days. Tell us what was removed and why you think the decision was wrong. A different person reviews the appeal, and we will tell you the outcome. If you cannot get into your account, write to contact@reliabilityworks.co.uk instead.
We update these guidelines as the app changes and as we learn where they fall short. Significant changes are announced in the app.
