Account Authenticity & Name Policy

1. Authentic Identity Principles

Vibble allows both real-name and pseudonymous participation. However, accounts must not:

• Pretend to be another real person, brand, or institution without permission.
• Use names or imagery designed to confuse users about who operates the account.
• Falsely claim credentials, affiliations, or professional status.

2. Username & Display Name Rules

Usernames (@handle) and display names must not:

• Contain slurs, hate speech, or explicit incitement.
• Impersonate official government or corporate handles (e.g., “@RealGovOffice” when not affiliated).
• Use subtle misspellings or added characters designed to mimic another user (“@officialvibble” vs. “@0fficialvibble”).
• Include misleading titles like “Support”, “Help Center”, or “Official” unless authorized.

3. Profile Photos & Branding

Profile images must not:

• Use official logos of companies or institutions without authorization.
• Use photos of real individuals without consent in a way that suggests identity ownership.
• Combine branding elements (e.g., checkmarks, badges) to simulate verification.

4. Biography & Affiliation Claims

Bios and affiliation fields must represent accurate information. Prohibited behaviors include:

• Claiming employment or positions at organizations where you do not work.
• Falsely claiming to be an official spokesperson or representative.
• Using links or contact details that mislead users into phishing or scams.

5. Reserved & Protected Names

Vibble may reserve certain usernames or designations for:

• Official Vibble and Nexa Group services.
• Critical infrastructure accounts (e.g., emergency, law enforcement, crisis centers).
• Verified organizations or government agencies.

6. Name & Handle Changes

Significant changes to account names or handles by verified or high-reach accounts may trigger additional checks or temporary restrictions to:

• Prevent sudden impersonation or brand hijacking.
• Ensure followers are not misled about new identity or purpose.

7. Enforcement & Corrections

If an account violates this policy, Vibble may:

• Require updates to name, handle, or profile info.
• Place warnings or temporary limitations on the account.
• Remove verification badges or apply impersonation penalties.
• Suspend the account for repeated or severe misrepresentation.
