Be honest
Do not create fake reports, falsely claim ownership, impersonate another person or deliberately mislead the community.
Community guidelines
Help keep LostLink useful and respectful.
These shared expectations help make lost-and-found coordination clearer, safer and more trustworthy for everyone in the campus community.
What good reports look like
- Use a clear, truthful title and select the correct Lost or Found type.
- Include relevant category, date, general location and non-sensitive details.
- Upload only photos you have permission to share. Avoid showing student IDs, payment cards or other personal data.
- Update or remove a post when the item is returned, the report is no longer relevant, or details change.
How members should behave
Respect privacy
Do not expose personal data, publish private messages, pressure users for contact details or share sensitive item details publicly.
Use features responsibly
No spam, harassment, threats, discriminatory content, unauthorised access attempts or attempts to bypass rate limits and Admin checks.
Moderation and concerns
Authorised Admins may remove content that violates campus rules, mark reports as returned, and take other actions supported by the configured application. Admin privileges must be assigned only after institutional verification. The deploying institution should maintain a monitored contact channel and a fair process for review or appeal.
To report a concern, visit Contact us and share the listing title or URL plus a concise explanation. Do not include passwords, OTPs or identity documents. For urgent safety issues, contact campus security or emergency services.
Important: These guidelines supplement, and do not replace, your institution's formal student conduct, privacy and safety policies.
