Terms & Conditions

Welcome to xGeek.au! We’re a vibrant online community where discussions can get heated, topics can be confronting, risqué and offensive to some, and humour displayed might not always be for the faint of heart.

By creating an account and using our platform, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Content and Conduct:

• Robust Content: We allow for mature discussions, the free and frank exchange of ideas and opinions and adult humour. However, content that is illegal, hateful, or promotes violence is prohibited.
• Copyright: Respect our intellectual property rights and those of others. Don’t use content we own without asking us first and getting our agreement to do so. Don’t post content you don’t own without proper attribution or permission.
• Attribution: If you’re sharing someone else’s work, give them credit!
• Respectful Disagreement: We encourage robust debate. There are no ideas that are sacrosanct or enjoy special protection from criticism or ridicule. If an idea is ridiculous the likelihood is that it will attract ridicule. If you identify with an idea which attracts ridicule that is a matter for your own sensibilities but ridicule of even the most profoundly held beliefs, ideas or opinions does not and never will equate to a personal attack on a user promoting them, espousing them or identifying with them, however sincerely or profoundly. That said, whilst the opinions, beliefs and ideas of those who espouse and promote them may be the subject of ridicule, mockery, or derision personal attacks on and harassment of members will not be tolerated.
