Community guidelines

YouTube & Google

Play by the same rules as the platforms

Every post, room and video shared here follows the YouTube Community Guidelines and Google's content policies. Posts that look like they cross a line get a flag in the feed so the creator can fix them before it costs them a strike on their real channel.

YouTube Community Guidelines

5 rules
Spam, deceptive practices & scams

No sub4sub, view-bots, engagement pods, bought subscribers or repetitive link dumping. Growth has to come from real viewers.

Harassment & cyberbullying

No targeted insults, threats, doxxing or pile-ons against another creator or viewer. Critique the work, never the person.

Hate speech

No content promoting hatred or violence against people based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability or other protected traits.

Nudity, sexual content & child safety

Nothing sexually explicit, and never content that endangers minors. This is a zero-tolerance area for both YouTube and Google.

Harmful or dangerous acts

No challenges, pranks or instructions that risk serious injury, and no promotion of self-harm or drug sales.

Google content policies

3 rules
Misinformation & manipulated media

No deepfakes passed off as real, faked screenshots or health/election claims that contradict authoritative sources.

Copyright & reused content

Only upload footage, music and thumbnails you made or are licensed to use. Reuploading other channels' videos gets both accounts struck.

Impersonation & fake identity

Don't pretend to be another creator, brand or Google/YouTube staff, and don't imitate a channel to confuse viewers.

How flagging works

Automatic
  • Every post in the feed is scanned against the rules above as it loads.
  • A match shows a yellow warning strip on the post naming the rule it may break.
  • A flag is a heads-up, not a removal — the creator can edit or delete the post, and you can always read the full rule on this page.
