### Group Ownership

*   Group creators are the official owners, tied to their UID
    
*   Ownership cannot be sold, traded, or transferred outside Pulse's system
    
*   Important: Pulse does not endorse any group owners or vouch for their actions
    

### Shared Leadership

*   Owners run their groups, but moderators (selected every 24 hours) help maintain fairness
    
*   Both are accountable to the Pulse community
    

### Fair Play

*   All point-earning methods, including tipping, must be genuine and fair
    
*   Gaming the system, manipulation, or coordinated abuse is strictly prohibited
    
*   Violations result in: muting, account review, warnings, or permanent restrictions
    

Rules for Owners & Moderators
-----------------------------

### What You Must Do

*   Act fairly and without bias
    
*   Remove spam, scams, and harmful content
    
*   Support genuine community participation
    
*   Enforce rules based on actual violations, not personal preferences
    

### What You Cannot Do

*   Unfairly ban, mute, or remove members
    
*   Promote yourself at others' expense (like spamming your own content for tips)
    
*   Delete others' posts for personal advantage
    
*   Manipulate tips, rewards, or group features for self-benefit
    
*   Coordinate artificial point-earning schemes
    

### Consequences

**For Moderators**: Power abuse leads to restrictions on future moderator applications

**For Owners**: Serious abuse may result in:

*   Ownership transfer to a responsible community member
    
*   Group decommission if it becomes harmful or irrelevant
    

Point-Earning & Rewards
-----------------------

### Fair Earning

*   Tips, red packets, and rewards should reflect genuine engagement
    
*   Coordinated manipulation, fake engagement, or systematic gaming is prohibited
    
*   Pulse monitors suspicious activity and will take action
    

### Enforcement

*   First offense: Warning or temporary muting
    
*   Repeated violations: Account review and potential restrictions
    
*   Severe cases: Permanent restrictions or bans
    

Reporting & Accountability
--------------------------

### If You're Treated Unfairly

*   Report abusive owners or moderators through Pulse's reporting system
    
*   Multiple verified complaints may lead to ownership changes or group removal
    

### Community Standards

*   Groups should be welcoming, safe, and meaningful
    
*   Owners and moderators are community guardians, not personal rulers
    
*   Everyone deserves fair treatment regardless of their relationship with leadership
