Policies & Standards

Policies & Standards

Policy Standards

Marketing In Asia is a content platform where people enjoy consuming articles, podcasts, news, videos, infographics and others. It is also popular among Asian content creators, writers, bloggers, videographers, graphic designers, and storytellers to park their authentic content at. To make the platform active, we always welcome thoughtful, positive and civil conversation from a broad spectrum of viewpoints.

That being said, to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for a wide range of people to engage in meaningful conversations, we prohibit certain conduct. Each community member of Marketing In Asia is responsible for maintaining these standards. In deciding whether someone has violated the rules, we will take into account things like newsworthiness, the context and nature of the posted information, the likelihood and severity of actual or potential harms, and applicable laws.

Violations of our rules may result in consequences such as account restrictions, limited distribution of your content, and suspension of your account. We may limit the distribution of controversial or extreme content.

 

Threats of violence and incitement

We do not allow content or actions that threaten, encourage, or incite violence against anyone, directly or indirectly.

 

Hate speech

We do not allow content that promotes violence or hatred against people based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, age, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.

We do not allow content or accounts that glorify, celebrate, downplay, or trivialize violence, suffering, abuse, or deaths of individuals or groups. This includes the use of scientific or pseudoscientific claims to pathologise, dehumanise, or disempower others. We do not allow calls for intolerance, exclusion, or segregation based on protected characteristics, nor do we allow the glorification of groups that do any of the above.

We do not allow hateful text, images, symbols, or other content in your username, profile, or profile.

 

Harassment

Marketing In Asia exists to share and discuss content through conversations. We don’t tolerate harassment, which includes:

  • Bullying, threatening, or shaming someone, or posting things likely to encourage others to do so
  • Using Marketing In Asia features like comments, mentions or uploading content in a way intended to annoy or harass someone
  • Reviewing businesses or products in a gratuitously harmful or abusive manner

 

 

Privacy and Reputation

We do not allow the following:

  • Posting copies of private communications between private individuals without the explicit consent of all parties to the communication
  • Posting intimate or explicit images taken or posted without the subject’s express consent
  • Content that violates others’ privacy, including sensitive or confidential information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, non-public phone numbers, physical addresses, email addresses, or other non-public information

  

Restricted categories

We do not allow posts or accounts that engage in the following restricted categories of activity:

  • Promotion of harmful conspiracies
  • Facilitation of gambling or betting
  • Facilitation of buying or selling social media interactions, including off-platform
  • Facilitation of sexual services
  • Facilitation of copyright violation

 

Related conduct

We do not allow content or accounts that engage in on-platform, off-platform, or cross-platform campaigns of targeting, harassment, hate speech, violence, or disinformation. We may consider off-platform actions in assessing a Marketing In Asia account and restrict access or availability to that account.

 

Duplicate Content

We do not allow posting duplicate content, whether from a single account or across multiple accounts, either publicly or as an unlisted story.

 

Spam

We do not allow spam on Marketing In Asia. All spam will be immediately removed from Marketing In Asia, without notification. While it is hard to define this content with precision or completeness, here are some representative behaviours we look for that are characteristic of spam:

  • Posting content primarily to drive traffic to, or increase the search rankings of, an external site, product, or service
  • Scraping and reposting content from other sources for the primary purpose of generating revenue or other personal gains
  • Posting duplicate content, whether from a single account or across multiple accounts
  • Stories where the content is clipped with the sole purpose of linking to the rest of the article on a different website
  • Performing a disproportionately large number of interactions, particularly by automated means. This includes bulk, indiscriminate interactions, such as following other accounts (follow spam) clapping, highlighting, or leaving notes
  • Repeatedly using responses or other interactions as a method of promotion
  • Participating in bounty campaigns or brigades to artificially inflate rankings for posts, accounts, businesses, or products
  • Use or re-use content templates with slight modifications across multiple posts and accounts

 

For each of these behaviours, when we talk about “content,” we mean not only articles but also any others such as podcasts, slides, videos and infographics. When we talk about “interactions,” we mean activities  that allow one user to interact with another, or with content.

 

Paid, automatic, bulk, or non-genuine interactions

Marketing In Asia depends on various user behaviours — like follows and comments — to determine what content to feature and make the platform works well for everyone. So, we don’t allow artificial behaviours that skew this system and as a result, degrade or distort other users’ experiences. This includes:

  • Buying, selling, or trading in accounts or account interactions — including follows, comments, engagements or traffic
  • Using services, apps, or arrangements that offer you more follows, comments, or other interactions on your Marketing In Asia account or content
  • Registering accounts, posting content, or interacting with users or content automatically, systematically, or programmatically

 

Copyright and trademark infringement

Respect the copyrights and trademarks of others. Unless you’re authorised to use someone else’s copyrighted work or trademark (either expressly or by legal exceptions and limitations like fair use), don’t do it. We respond to notices of alleged infringement as described in our Terms of Service, Copyrights and Policies & Standards.

 

Deceptive conduct

We do not allow deceptive conduct in Marketing In Asia. This includes:

  • Posting content or impersonating a person or organization in a way is likely to deceive people. Parody and satire are fine, but make clear that is what you’re doing.
  • Using Marketing In Asia for phishing or fraud. Don’t use tags, links, titles, or other metadata in a misleading way. Don’t link to or embed malicious or harmful code or software in your content
  • Don’t use deception to generate revenue or traffic
  • If you have received compensation, free goods/services or anything of value in connection with the topic of content, you must make this perfectly clear

 

Ads, Promotions, and Marketing

  • Third-party advertising and sponsorships are not allowed. You may not advertise or promote third-party products, services, or brands through Marketing In Asia content, publications, or letters. This includes images that indicate brand sponsorship in a post or letter, or as part of a publication name or logo.
  • Images functioning as third-party ads are not allowed. Inline images or embeds that link out and function as banner ads for third-party brands are not allowed.
  • You must disclose affiliate links or payment for a post. Affiliate links, such as link out to a certain platform with your code, or any other link out where you will receive a commission or other value, are allowed in content. But, you must disclose somewhere in the post that it includes affiliate links. If you have received payment, goods or services, or something else of value in exchange for writing a post, you must still disclose this fact in writing within your post.
  • Multi-level marketing content is not allowed.

  

Cryptocurrency Accounts, Posts, and Publications

Posts and accounts that focus on cryptocurrencies that do not meet the following requirements may be considered spam and are subject to suspension, depending on context. Marketing In Asia does not endorse or verify any coin, token, or similar announcement.

To prevent fraud and abuse, you must:

  • Include a link to your active project domain in your user account profile.
  • Use an email address from that domain as your verified Marketing In Asia account email, and maintain that email account actively.
  • Include a prominent about page with up-to-date contact information on your project website.

 

You may not:

  • Use an anonymous email address that is not linked to your project domain. (e.g., Gmail, Protonmail, Mail.ru, etc.)
  • Advertise or participate in bounty campaigns, pump and dumps, reviewing for reward, or other forms of brigading or inauthentic activity.
  • Include shortened URLs in your posts.

 

Graphic content

We do not allow pornographic images or videos. We do allow erotic writing and non-graphic erotic images. We do not allow gratuitously graphic or disturbing media, even if it’s not pornographic.

 

Exploitation of minors

We do not allow content promoting the sexual or violent exploitation of minors, including the sexualisation of fictional minors.

 

Promotion and glorification of self-harm

We do not allow activities that encourage, promote or glorify acts of self-harm, such as cutting, eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia, and suicide. If you encounter users contemplating or threatening self-harm, please report it to us via the form or email address linked below.

 

How to report a violation

If you find content or account on Marketing In Asia that violates these rules, please flag it. You can send us an email at support@marketinginasia.com.

 

If you break the rules

We strive to be fair, but we reserve the right to suspend accounts or remove content, without notice, for any reason, particularly to protect our services, infrastructure, users, or community. If you attempt to evade suspension by creating new accounts or posts, we will suspend your new accounts and posts.

 

Notice

Upon investigating or disabling content associated with your account, we will notify you, unless we believe your account is automated or operating in bad faith, or that notifying you is likely to cause, maintain or exacerbate harm to someone.

 

Appeals

If you believe your content or account has been restricted or disabled in error, or believe there is the relevant context we were not aware of in reaching our determination, you can write to us at support@marketinginasia.com. We will consider all good faith efforts to appeal.

 

Government Takedown Requests

If Marketing In Asia receives a request from the government to restrict access to content associated with your account, we will notify you unless we are prohibited by law or believe doing so may endanger others. Where applicable, we will work to limit legally-ordered content restrictions to jurisdictions where we have a good faith belief that we are legally required to restrict the content. We may enforce, or not enforce, these policies at our sole discretion. These policies don’t create a duty or contractual obligation for us to act.

We also may change these rules at any time. Marketing In Asia is committed to providing a transparent, open platform for expression as a starting point for further discussion.

 

Member Content Guidelines

To be eligible for inclusion and potential monetisation from Marketing In Asia, users and content creators must meet all Marketing In Asia rules as well as the following content requirements.

If you violate these Member content rules

Marketing In Asia reserves the right to review posts or accounts at any time and stop payment for any post or to any account, and/or remove from the Member section content that violates these Member Content Guidelines, or Marketing In Asia’s general rules. In deciding whether something has violated the Rules and Guidelines, we will take into account things like the context, newsworthiness, and nature of the posted information and applicable privacy laws.
