Acceptable Use and Community Rules

1. Status and participation

Public posts, private messages and uploads are not active here. These standards define requirements for a future launch; they do not claim a staffed community exists. Respectful disagreement, criticism, fan discussion and good-faith complaints are welcome.

2. Prohibited conduct

Do not threaten or harass people, unlawfully disclose private information, exploit or sexualize children, distribute malware, commit fraud, impersonate others, send spam, evade restrictions or infringe intellectual-property rights. Do not submit private manuscripts or personal information without authority. Unauthorized access to accounts or unpublished material is prohibited.

3. Visibility and creator rights

Future posting must clearly show who can see a submission and the limited license needed to host, display and moderate it. Creators retain their rights except for that specific license. Private messages need separate opt-in, blocking, reporting, access and retention design. A badge, purchase tier or creator label is not an administrative permission.

4. Moderation and appeals

Before launch, reports, blocks and mutes must work on the server, and moderators need a real queue and case history. Context and severity can lead to explanations, warnings, removals, restrictions or termination. Urgent safety or legal issues may require action without prior warning. Decisions must record the relevant rule and version, evidence, action, authorized actor and time, with appropriate notice and a meaningful appeal route.

Copyright cases follow the separate Copyright and DMCA process. Allegations are not automatically proven. Staff must consider corrections, mistaken identity, fraudulent complaints and proportionality. Repeat infringement is distinct from an ordinary rule warning. Honest reviews, lawful reports and payment disputes are not misconduct just because they criticize us.

5. Staff access and activation

Moderation access must be limited to relevant tasks and cases, without automatically exposing billing, all emails, owner controls or unrelated private content. Revocation and suspended-user restrictions must work in the server and data policies, not just hide buttons. Participation stays off until responsible personnel, reporting, appeals, abuse controls, privacy disclosures and positive and negative access checks are operational.
