Community Guidelines

Clarification of Terms:

To ensure our site is compliant with industry standards, we ask our users to adhere to the following guidelines. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in restrictions or removal of your account. Community guidelines may change according to our community interests and needs and compliances with other industry guidelines.

1. Age Requirements

All users must be at least 16 years of age to access. Community staff will remove a user if the user is discovered or reported to be under the age of 16 from our platforms. False reports are not tolerated

2. Content and Character Creation

Users must comply with: - All public and sensitive characters must be the user’s original creation. Users who upload other user’s characters will have the character(s) removed from the site. Dispute will be settled with proof of evidence from the original creator. - All public characters must comply with public character content guidelines. - All sensitive characters must comply with sensitive character content guidelines. - All characters must comply with prohibited and miscellaneous content guidelines.

3. Public Characters

Public characters are intended to be enjoyed by everyone. To ensure a comfortable experience for all users, these characters are free from sensitive topics. Users are provided with the option to choose whether to engage with characters that may involve such themes.

4. Sensitive Characters

Sensitive characters with exploration of sensitive themes are not accessible by default. Users who wish to engage with content that falls within these themes must explicitly consent to access such characters in their profile settings. By providing this consent, users acknowledge and accept potential viewing and interaction of sensitive characters. Despite the name, sensitive characters may not involve topics that are too extreme, graphic, sexual or controversial. Community staff will determine sensitivity levels per character to ensure all characters are within all our compliances. Any characters that fall outside the boundaries will be removed and the user reprimanded or removed from the site.

5. Private Characters

Users are allowed to create and interact with their private characters as they see fit. Public and sensitive character guidelines are not applied. We do not proactively seek out or monitor private characters content as we respect the user’s privacy to create and engage with characters of their choosing. However, users who are discovered or found on-site or off-site engaging with their private characters in prohibited topics will result in the removal of their account. Users can trust that their private creative endeavours will not be interfered with unless there is a valid concern raised within the community or the community staff. Users are advised community staff review any characters submitted for public and sensitive categorises. It is recommended for users to not accidentally label their private-only characters for public or sensitive submission.

6. General Prohibited Topics

The following topics are never allowed on the site for any character creation or interactions: - Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in the forms of text or images. - Hate speech that promotes violence, discrimination, or prejudice based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics. - Bestiality and other real-life animal related abuse

7. Sexual Themes

This platform does not condone explicit sexual activities that are conducted by the user with a character or does this platform support characters that are designed for the sole purpose of sexual interactions. This includes but is not limited to explicit descriptions or depictions of sexual acts, nudity, or other sexually explicit content. Users may engage in romantic interactions and flirtatious behavior. Characters designed for extreme flirtatious behavior may be scrutinized by community staff to ensure it is meeting the guidelines. Please read this blogpost for justifications:

8. Miscellaneous/Specific Guidelines

Some content is considered edge cases and therefore have some extra clarification on how our site handle this content:

- All animal-like characters must be anthropomorphic and must have the intelligence to engage in scenarios involving consent. - Characters may be aged up from their canonical age if they are explicitly mentioned being above 16 years old and their appearance is consistent with their aged-up version. To avoid confusion, do not use the same canonical source appearance. - No depictions of controversial characters or scenarios based on historical events/real life events/religious icons. - Characters based on other community users, private individuals in the real world, or any living person must be made with their consent. Public figures are excluded from this.

9. Bad Actor Guidelines

Users may be removed from the site for the following reasons:

- Impersonation of community staff or organization members - Inappropriate username and display name - Inappropriate profile picture - Spamming the website with content - Harassment towards other users, staff team or organization members
