Community Guidelines

Make bold work, protect people, and challenge ideas without attacking their creators.

Last updated: 29 July 2026
Context matters. Moderators consider the content, intent, likely harm, public-interest value, and pattern of behavior.

1. The collaboration promise

  • Credit the original and every connected creator.
  • Respond to the work in front of you; do not use a version as a disguised unrelated promotion.
  • Invite participation without pressure, humiliation, fabricated urgency, or fake engagement.
  • Respect a creator’s requested format and rights settings.

2. Challenge the idea, not the person

  • Address a claim, interpretation, assumption, or missing perspective.
  • State common ground honestly when there is any.
  • Use reliable evidence and explain why it matters.
  • Do not insult, threaten, dogpile, diagnose, expose, or speculate about a person’s private life.
  • Do not repeatedly target someone after they block you or ask for space.

3. Keep people safe

  • No credible threats, encouragement of violence, sexual exploitation, or instructions intended to cause serious harm.
  • No hate or dehumanization based on protected identity.
  • No bullying, sexual harassment, stalking, or coordinated harassment.
  • No publication of private contact, location, health, financial, identity, or intimate information without a lawful and appropriate basis.
  • No impersonation, scams, malicious links, malware, or deceptive account behavior.

4. Respect creative and personal rights

  • Upload only media, music, recordings, writing, and likenesses you created or are allowed to use.
  • Do not claim another person’s work as your own or strip its attribution.
  • A transformation can still require permission; adding a caption, sound, crop, filter, or explanation does not automatically make copying lawful.
  • Do not use a recording or image to mislead people about what a real person said or did.

5. Protect community integrity

  • No spam, repetitive low-value posting, mass unsolicited invitations, engagement trading, fake accounts, or automated reactions.
  • Do not use repetitive, unwanted, or coordinated mentions to pressure, provoke, or harass another creator.
  • Clearly label parody, illustration, simulation, or materially altered media when people could otherwise mistake it for an authentic event.
  • Do not fabricate likes, comments, creators, community versions, evidence, or endorsements.
  • Do not exploit product bugs or attempt to bypass moderation, account limits, or the one-generation rule.

6. Sensitive material

Artistic, documentary, educational, or newsworthy context can matter, but it is not a blanket exception. Graphic violence, sexual content, self-harm material, dangerous instructions, and content involving minors receive stricter review and may be removed or limited even when posted without malicious intent.

7. What happens after a report

Reports are private. A report may lead to no action, reduced visibility, content removal, a feature restriction, or an account restriction. Severe risk can be acted on immediately. Repeated behavior matters, and attempts to evade enforcement can result in stronger action.

Blocking hides the creator relationship in both directions where supported. It does not replace a report when content may harm other people.

8. How to report

On an original or version, use the flag and choose the closest reason. For a comment, open Comments and use Report beside that comment. Choose Copyright or ownership for a rights concern and include enough detail to identify the protected work. If you also want to stop seeing a creator, select the block option or manage blocked creators in Account & safety.

Report affected content

Use the public form for a copyright, ownership, privacy, or likeness concern. No account is required, and the request enters the private moderator queue.
