Eidok Groups

Find your people. Build your community.

Eidok Groups bring together people who share an interest, a place, a profession, a cause or a goal — photographers and football fans, parents and students, alumni and neighbours, entrepreneurs and volunteers. This guide explains how Groups work, how to run a great one and the rules that keep Groups safe and welcoming. It forms part of our Terms of Service.

In short

  • Groups can be Public, Closed or Secret.
  • Adults create and manage Groups and are responsible for moderating them.
  • Members follow Eidok’s rules and the group’s own rules.
  • Groups built around hate, violence, exploitation, scams or illegal trade are not allowed.

1. What You Can Do in a Group

  • Share posts, photos, videos, polls and links with members.
  • Hold discussions and ask the community for advice.
  • Create events for members, online or in person.
  • Go live to the group where live video is available.
  • Discover related groups and people with similar interests.

2. Group Privacy Types

TypeWho can find itWho can see members and postsBest for
PublicAnyone, including search enginesAnyoneOpen communities, fan groups, public causes
ClosedAnyoneMembers onlyCommunities that want to be discoverable but keep discussions among members
SecretMembers and invited people onlyMembers onlyFamilies, close friends, private teams

Even in Closed and Secret groups, members can copy or share what they see. Do not post anything you would not be comfortable becoming public.

3. Creating a Group

  • You must be at least 18 years old to create or administer a group.
  • Choose a clear, honest name and write a description that explains the group’s purpose.
  • Pick the right privacy type from the start. Changing a group from private to public exposes past discussions, so consider this carefully.
  • Add a cover photo and write group rules before inviting people.

4. Admin Roles and Responsibilities

  • Admins can approve or decline membership requests, approve posts where post approval is on, remove posts and comments, remove members and add other admins.
  • Admins are responsible for moderating their group in line with our Community Protection Guidelines. Groups that repeatedly allow violations may be restricted or removed, even if the admins did not post the content themselves.
  • Admins must not use the group to collect members’ personal information without consent.
  • Groups may not be sold, traded or rented, and may not be turned into something substantially different from what members joined (for example changing a hobby group into an advertising channel).
  • If admins become inactive, we may allow active members to take over, or archive the group.

5. Member Responsibilities

  • Follow Eidok’s rules and the group’s own rules.
  • Stay on topic and respect other members, even when you disagree.
  • Do not spam the group with advertising, repeated posts or unrelated links.
  • Do not share screenshots of Closed or Secret group discussions to embarrass or target members.
  • Report posts that break the rules to the group’s admins or to Eidok.

6. Groups That Are Not Allowed

  • Groups that promote or coordinate violence, terrorism or organised hate.
  • Groups that target, harass or mock individuals or protected groups.
  • Groups that share sexual content, and any group involving the sexualisation of minors.
  • Groups for buying, selling or trading prohibited items (see the Marketplace Policy).
  • Groups used to coordinate scams, fake engagement, account trading or spam.
  • Groups that impersonate an organisation or falsely claim to be official.
  • Groups dedicated to spreading harmful misinformation, such as dangerous health claims.

7. Privacy in Groups

  • In Public groups, posts and the member list can be seen by anyone.
  • In Closed and Secret groups, only members can see posts; admins can see members’ public profile information.
  • Leaving a group removes you from the member list; content you posted may remain unless you delete it.
  • See our Privacy Policy for more.

8. Running a Great Group

  • Write clear rules and pin them to the top.
  • Welcome new members and introduce them to the community.
  • Screen join requests to keep out spam accounts.
  • Add trusted admins as your group grows.
  • Start conversations with questions, polls and weekly themes.
  • Use events and live video to bring members together.
  • Act quickly on reports to keep the group healthy.

9. Enforcement and Appeals

We may remove content, restrict features, remove admins, limit a group’s visibility, archive or delete groups, and disable accounts that break this policy, our Community Protection Guidelines or the law. If you believe we made a mistake, contact us at eidokoffice@gmail.com and we will review it.
