2. The Corridor provides a platform for participants to express themselves, promote their ideas, share news or any information relevant to members and the community. At the same time, we reserve the right to moderate content that does not align with the Corridor’s values or for other reasons set by the Corridor Administration.

3. The Corridor was created to unite the furry community in one place, to spread the ideas of the furry community and to promote the furry community both online and offline within Ukraine.

Corridor Values

Honesty: We are sincere with our audience. Every publication, call to action, or other content that we distribute is an honest and sincere opinion of the Corridor Administration, reflecting our values and aspirations.

Transparency: We are open to our audience. All transactions, donations and other information about the internal activities of the project are, and will be, available to the public upon request..

Openness: We are attentive to any constructive comments and suggestions, and strive to make the Corridor better for every participant. We understand that we are not perfect, but we strive for comfortable and fruitful cooperation.

Mutual respect: We respect everyone equally, we treat every participant with equal respect, without division into "ours" and "theirs". We do not tolerate any disrespect towards anyone.

Ukraine-centricity: We are a Ukrainian community that prioritises the promotion of Ukrainian-language content, whilst providing opportunities for all people to use Corridor services and post content in any language (including Russian and other languages that our participants may use), with mandatory duplication in Ukrainian (except for comments and messages in the chat).

Ethics: We require our participants and the Administration to behave with dignity and not violate the moral and ethical norms established in Ukrainian society.

Legality: We strictly comply with the current legislation of Ukraine. We prohibit the promotion of criminal culture, violations of Ukrainian laws, or other manifestations of criminality..

Fairness: We give a second chance to everyone who wishes to be part of the Corridor. We have an Appeals system, and we are ready to consider all arguments impartially, fairly and without emotions.

Appeals Process:

The appeals process is detailed on our interactive board

When a user claims an unfair punishment, a transparent and inexorable mechanism launches, designed to restore justice.

1. The user's voice is not ignored

The appeal reaches the Corridor Administration, and from this moment official consideration begins. Nobody disappears into silence, nobody gets lost between the lines — the report gains momentum.

2. The Corridor Administration initiates an investigation

The Administration contacts the administration of the chats where the punishment occurred. From now on, the chat cannot "fail to notice" the problem: it's obliged to provide evidence or refutation of the violation.

3. The community must speak with facts

The chat administration gathers data on the user's behaviour.

If it's proven that community norms were observed, the fact of violation is absent.

If there is a violation, it won't hide behind excuses.

4. Two possible investigation outcomes

— The user is informed of the grounds for punishment.

5. If the chat ignores the appeal Ignoring is a position.

Ignore — is a position.

In such case, sanctions are applied to the community rather than the user.

The system responds to those who refuse to interact honestly.
