1. Community discussion, not a professional service
Shoorkum provides a forum for opinions, experiences, votes, and debate. Shoorkum does not verify every factual claim or credential and creates no professional-client, fiduciary, doctor-patient, lawyer-client, counsellor-client, or scholar-student relationship.
Ranks, levels, helpful votes, positive outcomes, and leaderboard positions are community signals only—not licences, certifications, guarantees, or Shoorkum endorsements.
2. No fatwas or religious rulings
Shoorkum is not a religious authority. No post, vote, comment, translation, narration, moderation result, or highly ranked response is a fatwa or may be presented as one. Religious views can vary by scholar, school, country, facts, and personal circumstances. Consult a qualified, trusted scholar or authorized institution for a serious ruling.
3. Medical and mental-health safety
Shoorkum does not diagnose, prescribe, assess capacity, or provide medical or mental-health treatment. Do not change medication, ignore symptoms, start a dangerous diet, or delay care because of community content.
If anyone may be in immediate danger, is considering suicide or self-harm, has taken an overdose, has severe symptoms, or cannot stay safe, contact local emergency services now, go to the nearest emergency department, and involve a trusted person who can be physically present. Do not wait for votes or comments.
4. Violence, abuse, and safeguarding
For immediate violence, sexual abuse, stalking, coercive control, child danger, trafficking, or a credible threat, prioritize physical safety and contact appropriate local emergency, police, child-protection, domestic-violence, or safeguarding services when safe. Community advice may miss local risks and unintentionally increase danger.
Do not confront an abuser, collect evidence, leave a location, or share a device based solely on a comment. Use a safe device and qualified local support when monitoring or retaliation may occur.
5. Legal, financial, employment, and immigration matters
Community content is not legal, financial, tax, investment, employment, immigration, insurance, or regulatory advice. Laws and deadlines vary and change. Contact a qualified professional or competent authority before acting on money, contracts, criminal exposure, court deadlines, residency, employment, or legal rights.
6. Minors and trusted adults
Young users should involve a safe parent, guardian, school safeguarding lead, healthcare professional, or trusted adult when an issue involves exploitation, threats, sexual conduct, blackmail, money, health, or immediate safety. Anyone asking a minor to keep secrets, move off-platform, send images, or share contact details may be unsafe; report and block that interaction.
7. Privacy and identification risk
Generated aliases do not make detailed stories unidentifiable. Change or omit names, exact dates, neighbourhoods, schools, employers, rare events, photos, and quotations. Obtain permission before sharing another person’s confidential information. Auto-hide or deletion cannot retrieve copies or screenshots already made.
8. Automated features can be wrong
Automated moderation may miss harmful content or restrict safe content. Translation can change tone or meaning. Privacy rewriting can leave a clue or change context. Narration can mispronounce. Never treat an automated output as a safety, legal, professional, or religious determination; review rewritten or translated content before using it.
9. Your decisions
Consider multiple perspectives, independently verify important facts, identify conflicts of interest, and account for information the community lacks. No vote or outcome score predicts your result. You decide whether and how to act, except that this does not exclude responsibility applicable law places on Shoorkum or another person.
10. Reporting and contact
Use in-app Report and Block for unsafe content or interaction. Support and Help & Safety are not emergency services, are not guaranteed to be continuously monitored, and cannot dispatch help.
