Community Guidelines

Effective Date: September 6, 2026

FlashQuest includes a community deck library where users can publish flashcard decks for others to browse, download, and study. These guidelines exist to keep the library useful, accurate, and safe for everyone.

By publishing a deck to the community library, you agree to follow these guidelines.

What belongs in the community library

The community library is for educational flashcard content. Good community decks are:

• Accurate and factually correct
• Clearly named and categorized
• Original, or shared with the necessary permission or licence; attribution alone is not enough
• Useful to other students studying the same topic

What is not allowed

Do not publish decks that contain:

• Inappropriate or offensive content - hate speech, slurs, sexually explicit material, graphic violence, or content that targets individuals or groups
• Spam or promotional content - advertising, links to external products, repetitive low-quality decks, or content designed to manipulate rankings
• Copied or plagiarized content - decks copied wholesale from other users, copyrighted textbooks, or proprietary test banks without permission
• Deliberately inaccurate content - flashcards with intentionally wrong answers, misleading information, or content designed to confuse
• Personal or private information - content that includes other people's names, contact info, or personal details without consent
• Illegal content - anything that violates applicable law

How reporting works

Any signed-in user can report a community deck. Open the deck and use its report action. You can report a deck for:

• Inappropriate content
• Spam
• Copied content
• Inaccuracy

In-app reports are logged with the reporter's identity; the app does not display that identity to the deck author. Rights holders can also report material without an account through our copyright reporting and appeal process. Relevant details from an emailed rights complaint may be shared with the affected publisher to assess and resolve the dispute, as explained in that process and our Privacy Policy.

What happens after a report

Reports may trigger automatic hiding from the community library. This is a precaution, not a final finding of wrongdoing. When a deck is hidden:

• The deck is removed from Explore and search results
• FlashQuest may notify the author through available account or notification channels; push delivery depends on device permissions and availability
• The author's account is not deleted or suspended for a single incident

If you believe your deck was incorrectly hidden, contact support@flashquest.net with the deck name and we will review it.

Repeat violations

Users who repeatedly publish content that violates these guidelines may have their publishing privileges restricted or their account suspended. We reserve the right to remove any content and take action on any account that violates these guidelines or our Terms of Service.

Reporting abuse of the reporting system

The reporting system exists to keep the community library safe. Abusing it to target legitimate content or harass other users is itself a violation. If you believe someone is misusing the reporting system, contact support@flashquest.net.

Your responsibilities as a publisher

Only publish material you created or have the necessary rights to share, including images. Do not copy commercial test banks, paid course materials, textbook pages, or other platforms' decks merely because you can access them. An educational purpose or a source citation does not automatically authorize copying.

Publishing grants the limited permissions in our Terms of Service, including permission for other users to save and adapt the deck for personal study. Public decks can appear on community web pages and sharing previews. Unlisted links can be forwarded. You can unpublish your decks, but independent copies already saved by others are not remotely erased; linked images may become unavailable.

Review AI-assisted decks before publishing. Check the answers, remove private information, and confirm that the source material and output can be shared. AI generation is not proof of accuracy or permission.

Quality and featured content

Community publication does not mean FlashQuest has checked every answer or verified every contributor's rights. Prefer focused decks with clear learning goals, original questions, readable answers, and useful references. Preserve any attribution required by a source licence. Only content specifically identified as reviewed by FlashQuest should be understood to have received that review; ordinary community decks should not claim official endorsement.

Changes to these guidelines

We may update these guidelines as FlashQuest grows. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date above.
