Introduction

These standards exist to protect viewers, creators, and the wider community.

We prioritize safety, legality, consent, and transparency. Content or behavior that puts users at risk, violates the law, or undermines trust may be removed and can lead to account enforcement.

The moderation team reviews reports and signals, and we may take action even without a report when policy violations are clear.

Age & Verification

Access to adult content and creator tools requires age and email verification.

  • Age gate confirmation is required to access adult content.
  • Verified email is required for uploading, commenting, and other UGC participation.
  • Attempting to bypass age or verification safeguards may result in suspension or a permanent ban.

Prohibited Content

The following categories are strictly prohibited and will be removed.

Zero tolerance: minors

Any sexual content involving minors or ambiguous age will be removed immediately and reported to the appropriate authorities.

  • Sexual minors risk or exploitation of any kind.
  • Hate speech, threats, or targeted harassment.
  • Illegal content, trafficking, or facilitation of crime.
  • Self-harm promotion or suicide encouragement.
  • Doxxing, stalking, or non-consensual exposure.
  • Explicit non-consensual or coerced content.
  • Violent extremism, recruitment, or glorification.

Adult Content Rules

Adult content is allowed only when legal, consensual, and accurately labeled.

  • All performers must be 18+ and verifiable on request.
  • Consent must be documented and maintained by creators.
  • Titles, thumbnails, and tags must be accurate and not misleading.
  • Content must not depict illegal activity or non-consensual acts.

Copyright & DMCA

Creators must own or have rights to all uploaded content.

  • Submit copyright reports using the report flow.
  • Infringing content is removed and repeat violations can result in suspension or permanent removal.
  • We may request evidence of rights or licensing during review.

Spam & Misleading Behavior

We remove content that manipulates engagement or deceives users.

  • Mass posting, link spam, or automated bot behavior.
  • Misleading metadata, fake previews, or deceptive claims.
  • Engagement manipulation or coordinated abuse.

Creator Responsibilities

Creators are responsible for accurate labeling and lawful uploads.

  • Label content accurately and choose correct visibility.
  • Maintain proof of consent and legality for all submissions.
  • Respond to moderation requests within the required timeframe.

Reporting & Moderation Flow

Reports are reviewed by moderators and mapped to enforcement actions.

  • Use the report button on videos or comments to submit a report.
  • Reports are triaged, reviewed, and assigned a status (open, under review, resolved, or rejected).
  • Outcomes can include removal, warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans depending on severity.

Report reasons map to guideline sections so creators and moderators have a shared reference point.

Enforcement & Appeals

We match enforcement to severity and provide appeal channels where applicable.

  • Severe violations result in immediate removal and account action.
  • Repeat violations or evasion can result in permanent bans.
  • Appeals may be available through in-app forms or moderation contact flows when provided.

Community Participation

Respectful behavior is required across comments, reactions, and profiles.

  • Harassment, threats, or hate speech are not allowed.
  • Repeated violations can lead to suspensions or bans.
  • Rate limits and enforcement apply to abusive behavior.

Changes to Policy

We update guidelines to reflect new risks and legal requirements.

  • Major updates are announced within the product.
  • We maintain version history and effective dates.
  • Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the latest guidelines.
