HALL is one place for a lot of real life: debating, buying and selling, asking for help, meeting people. The rules are short because the idea is simple — treat people the way you would if they were standing in front of you.
Every post, video, listing, profile and message has a Report option. Reports go to HALL. Nobody else can take anything down: not club leaders, not community founders. Ad and AI flags from three different people label an item automatically. Reporting is private — the person you report is never told who reported them.
Content that breaks the law comes down. For everything else on the list above, the first answer is the crowd: downvotes, replies and challenges. Accounts, though, can be limited: most first offences get a warning. Repeated or serious offences lead to a temporary suspension, then a permanent ban. Some things — child safety, credible threats, scams that took someone’s money — skip straight to a ban and, where the law requires, a report to the authorities.
If you think we got it wrong, write to support@thegrandhall.xyz. A person reads every appeal.
political HALL lets you send your representatives and candidates a link to debate. Put them to the fire on the issues — not on their families, homes or appearance. Threats against any official are illegal and end your account. Every message goes out under your own name.
Challenge the idea, not the person. Challenging the same person over and over, challenging to harass, organizing fake votes or cheers, and trash talk that crosses into the “Not welcome” list all count as harassment. Declining a challenge is always allowed — it just shows on your profile.
A good argument shouldn’t disappear because someone in charge didn’t like it. So on HALL, nobody takes down what you say: not club leaders, not community founders, not other members. If you think a post is wrong, vote it down, answer it, or challenge it to a debate — the fist button on every post — and let the crowd decide. HALL removes something someone said only when it breaks the law, or when it’s one of the few things the app stores require us to remove (sexual content involving minors, pornography, credible threats, spam). Creators’ own videos, podcasts and articles are different: they can ask HALL to take their work down, and uploads that break the Terms (like hidden ads) can be removed.
What you say stays said. You can fix typos and add as much as you like, but what you said has to stay mostly the same. If you no longer stand behind something, disassociate from it: your name comes off and the words stay. You can ask HALL to put your name back later. Club leaders can still decide who is in a private club; community founders set a community’s topic and suggested rules. Communities can be named after a brand, team or show as fan communities, but can’t claim to be the official one; a trademark owner can report one and ask HALL for the name.
In community HALL, vote on whether a post adds to the conversation, not on whether you agree. Vote manipulation — extra accounts, trading votes, asking friends to pile on — is treated as deception.
If a video contains paid promotion, say so when you upload it. If it was made with AI, say so. Undeclared ads and AI media that HALL’s scanners or the community catch get labelled, and repeated undeclared promotion is treated as deception above. HALL Pass members can choose to skip ad segments and hide AI-made content entirely; the labels are what make that work.
These guidelines are part of the Terms of Service.
