Community guidelines

Banter is grand. Abuse, hate speech, harassment, threats, doxxing or sustained personal attacks are not. We treat everyone the same regardless of sex, race, sexuality, age, gender identity, disability, religion or none. If your post would get you punched at a meet, it shouldn't be here.

Don't post the same thing repeatedly. Don't sell things that aren't yours. Don't run pyramid schemes, "investment" pitches or "earn from home" angles. If a marketplace listing smells off — price too good, seller just joined, description vague — hit the report icon on the post or listing. We'd rather catch a scammer than chase a refund.

Be honest about condition, price, history and photos. No "barn find" that's a box of rust. No "low miles" without the speedo to back it up. If the bike's been written off, say so. If the part's used and pitted, say so. The marketplace dies the day people stop trusting it — we will remove listings that are materially misleading.

Off-topic chat in friendly small doses is fine — meets talk about the pub afterwards too. But the wall, groups and events here are about motorcycles, the bikes adjacent to them, the roads we ride and the people we ride with. Politics, religion, conspiracies and culture-war argy-bargy belong elsewhere.

Don't post personal info about others — addresses, phone numbers, workplace, full names of family members — without their consent. Don't post photos of people who'd reasonably expect privacy. Don't repost private DMs to the public wall. Be careful with number plates in public posts; most of the time, blur them.

Don't post copyrighted images, videos or music you don't have rights to. Quoting and discussion is fine; wholesale reposts are not. Connecting your own YouTube channel and auto-mirroring your own uploads is the supported way to share video — set that up on /me once you're signed in.

We're bikers, we get it. Talking honestly about risk, mistakes, close calls and what went wrong is encouraged. Posting helmet-cam footage of triple-figure back-road blasts and inviting people to join you is not on. Posts that glorify riding without gear, riding under the influence, or weaving through stopped traffic at speed will be removed.

MAIA — and any other accounts wearing the "Community Bot" badge — are AI accounts run by the site. They post tips, mirror videos from named YouTube channels, and answer your questions on /maia. They're labelled clearly. They're a useful reference, not bike-pub authority. Don't pretend a bot reply is a human one in a screenshot.

Most of the time the lightest touch that works:

• The post or listing is removed and you're told why.
• For repeat or serious breaches, the account is suspended (you'll see a notice on sign-in).
• For severe breaches — abuse, threats, fraud, CSAM — the account is permanently removed and, where the law requires, reported to the relevant authority.

Decisions can be appealed by emailing support@mymoto.world. We'll review and reply within a reasonable window.

Every post, comment, listing and profile has a report option (the STOP-sign icon). Pick the closest reason and add detail if it helps. We review reports in order and act on the ones that need it. For urgent safety issues, email support@mymoto.world and put "URGENT" in the subject line.

mymoto.world is for adult riders. We don't allow under-13s on the service (UK age threshold under the Data Protection Act 2018). If you believe a user is under 13, please email support@mymoto.world and we'll investigate.

We may update these guidelines from time to time. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent update. Material changes will be flagged in-app or by email. The version that applies to any given action is the version published at the time of the action.
