Community Guidelines

How these rules apply

Protect safety

Violence, threats, and dangerous organizations

Do not threaten, encourage, celebrate, or help others carry out serious physical harm. Do not use Lowlight to organize violence, share credible threats, glorify violent extremist activity, or recruit for organizations that promote terrorism or systematic violence.

Sexual violence and exploitation

Content that depicts, threatens, promotes, solicits, or facilitates sexual assault, sexual exploitation, trafficking, or non-consensual intimate imagery is prohibited. Never share intimate content without the depicted person's permission.

Youth safety

Any sexualization, grooming, exploitation, or endangerment of a minor is strictly prohibited. This includes child sexual abuse material, sexualized images or comments involving minors, requests for sexual content, and attempts to move a minor into a private sexual interaction. Apparent youth-safety violations may be reported to the appropriate authorities or safety organizations where required.

Self-harm and dangerous behavior

Do not encourage, instruct, glorify, or coordinate suicide, self-injury, eating disorders, or dangerous challenges. Supportive discussion and recovery-focused content are allowed when they do not provide harmful instructions or target vulnerable people.

Privacy and personal information

Do not expose or threaten to expose another person's private information without permission. This includes home addresses, precise real-time locations, private contact details, login credentials, financial information, government identifiers, or information that could enable stalking, identity theft, or physical harm.

Treat people with respect

Hateful conduct

Do not attack, dehumanize, exclude, or promote hatred or violence against people based on protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, serious medical condition, or veteran status. Slurs, hateful imagery, and praise for hate groups are prohibited when used to target or intimidate.

Harassment and bullying

Disagreement and competitive banter are part of gaming, but sustained or severe abuse is not. Do not coordinate harassment, make credible threats, wish serious harm on someone, repeatedly contact a person after being told to stop, mock a victim of violence, or target someone with degrading personal attacks. Encouraging your audience or friends to pile on another person is also prohibited.

Sexual harassment

Do not direct unwanted sexual comments, advances, objectification, or requests for sexual content at another person. Threatening to share intimate material or using sexual content to shame or control someone is prohibited.

Keep content appropriate

Sexual content and nudity

Pornography, explicit sexual activity, sexual services, and content primarily intended for sexual gratification are not allowed. Nudity or sexual content involving minors is never allowed. Limited non-sexual educational, health, documentary, or artistic context may be considered, but explicit sexual content remains prohibited.

Graphic violence and gore

Do not post real-world gore, mutilation, or graphic death when the purpose is to shock, celebrate suffering, or harass. Gameplay violence may be permitted, but real-world graphic material receives stricter review and may be removed even when shared for commentary if the harm outweighs the context.

Illegal or seriously dangerous activity

Do not use Lowlight to sell illegal goods, facilitate criminal activity, distribute malware, teach people to cause serious harm, or promote dangerous acts likely to injure people. Discussion of safety, prevention, news, or recovery is allowed when it does not meaningfully enable harm.

Protect trust and platform integrity

Spam, scams, and malicious links

Do not send repetitive or unsolicited promotions, run fake giveaways, coordinate fraud, solicit credentials, distribute phishing or malware links, or deceive people about where a link or transaction leads. Commercial activity must follow Lowlight's Terms and any applicable program rules.

Impersonation and deceptive identity

Do not pretend to be another person, creator, company, community, or Lowlight staff in order to mislead others. Parody and fan accounts must be clearly labeled and must not be used for fraud or harassment.

Artificial engagement and automation abuse

Do not buy, sell, exchange, or automate fake follows, views, likes, comments, messages, referrals, rewards, or other platform signals. Bots, scrapers, or scripts may not be used to spam people, bypass safeguards, manipulate rankings, or place unreasonable load on Lowlight.

Ban and restriction evasion

Do not create or use another account, community, or technical workaround to evade a suspension, block, rate limit, feature restriction, or other enforcement action. Do not knowingly help another person evade one.

Harmful misinformation

Do not spread demonstrably false or manipulated claims when they are likely to cause serious real-world harm, interfere with emergency response, enable fraud, or put a person or group in danger. Satire, opinion, and good-faith mistakes are not treated the same as deliberate or reckless deception.

Respect rights and the law
