Community Code of Conduct

Treat others with dignity. Protect people’s safety and privacy. Participate in ways that uplift the mission. We welcome all individuals who share our vision of equity and empowerment while proudly centering Black businesses and experiences.

Any hate speech, harassment, intimidation, bullying, or discriminatory conduct — whether public or private — is strictly prohibited.

You may not share, threaten to share, or solicit private personal information about anyone — including addresses, phone numbers, private emails, government IDs, or workplace details — without explicit permission.

• No doxxing or “exposing” posts
• No incitement of harassment or brigading
• No sharing private messages without consent where prohibited by law

Trust is everything. You must provide accurate information about yourself, your business, and your offerings.

• No impersonation of individuals, brands, or organizations
• No fake listings, fake reviews, or deceptive claims
• No scams, pyramid schemes, phishing, or “too good to be true” offers

We may require verification for certain features and may remove suspicious content or accounts to protect the community.

You retain ownership of your content but grant BWE a limited license to display and promote it in connection with operating the platform (as described in our Terms).

Marketplace interactions must remain respectful and honest. Sellers must accurately describe products/services and honor commitments. Buyers must communicate respectfully and follow posted terms.

• No counterfeit goods, stolen goods, or illegal products
• No harassment of buyers/sellers over disputes
• No coercion, threats, or “review extortion”

Employers must post truthful opportunities and never use job listings to scam or harvest personal data. Applicants must act professionally and avoid abusive behavior.

• No fake jobs, MLM recruiting disguised as hiring, or “pay-to-apply” scams
• No discrimination or illegal hiring practices
• No requests for sensitive personal data outside a legitimate hiring process

Sponsored content must be truthful, respectful, and aligned with community values. We may reject, remove, or suspend ads that are misleading, exploitative, or damaging to trust.

• No deceptive claims or bait-and-switch offers
• No hateful content or targeting protected groups
• No “get rich quick” schemes or predatory financial traps

You may not attempt to disrupt the platform, steal data, scrape our listings, reverse engineer features, or bypass access controls.

• No automated scraping/harvesting of listings or datasets
• No probing, brute-force, or credential-stuffing attempts
• No attempts to bypass paywalls, gating, or account controls
• No malicious automation or spamming APIs/forms

If you witness or experience a violation, report it immediately. Reports are handled confidentially where possible.

We reserve the right to moderate, restrict, suspend, or remove users and content at our sole discretion to protect the mission, platform trust, and user safety.

We may also take legal action for defamation, impersonation, disruption, data theft, or other malicious conduct, and may refer matters to law enforcement when appropriate.

We are committed to improving alongside the needs of our community. We welcome respectful feedback and ideas — especially ways to strengthen safety, trust, and economic empowerment.
