THE COMMUNITY

How we treateach other.

ANU is built on community, trust, and respect. These guidelines exist to protect every member.

The Golden Rule

“Treat every member of this community the way you would want to be treated. We are all here for the same reason — to find our people, support our businesses, and celebrate our culture.”

What We Stand For

Respect

Treat all members, businesses, and organisations with dignity regardless of their country of origin, gender, religion, or background.

Honesty

Only leave reviews for experiences you have genuinely had. Only post accurate information about your business or organisation.

Safety

Never share content that could harm another member. Report anything that feels unsafe.

Community

ANU is a space for community, not commerce. Do not use community spaces to advertise or solicit sales.

Privacy

Respect the privacy of other members. Do not share anyone's personal information without their consent.

Pride

Celebrate African culture, heritage, and excellence. This is our space. Protect it.

What Is Not Allowed

Hate speech, racism, tribalism, or discrimination of any kind
Harassment, bullying, or threatening behaviour
Explicit sexual content or graphic violence
Spam, scams, or fraudulent listings
Fake reviews or review manipulation
Impersonating another person or organisation
Sharing anyone's private information without consent
Content that exploits or harms children
Promoting illegal goods or services
Using community spaces to sell or advertise

Consequences

Card 1
