AppFlicks Community & Content Guidelines
AppFlicks is a platform for streaming entertainment fans of Games, Music and Video: Films, Series, Live TV, News & Sports to participate within communities to offer opinions, compete in polls, submit reviews and share their own videos – all for the purpose, of discussing, connecting and contributing in an open and enriching fan environment. AppFlicks is not a publisher. The nature of curated, community content might range from light-hearted to serious, however, while criticism of media is welcome, it should never be combative, demeaning nor offensive. Respect is essential when participating across any of AppFlicks’ community engagement pages.
