These rules cover anything you publish or transmit through OutSized. Content that breaks them may be rejected before publication, removed after publication, or lead to action on the responsible account.
What counts as content
The rules apply to, among other things:
- Profiles, forum threads, comments, chat, and messages.
- Stories, series, interactive fiction, images, video, and audio.
- Assets, links, collections, titles, descriptions, tags, and labels.
Adults only, without exception
No content featuring a character or person under 18 is allowed. This applies to written, illustrated, generated, animated, audio, and live-action material.
Content based on a media property whose focus is characters under 18 is not allowed, even when the specific characters shown or described in the submission are stated to be adults. If age or source material is unclear, do not post it.
Consent, privacy, and identifiable people
- Do not post an identifiable real person without their consent.
- Do not publish private or identifying information without permission.
- Titles, descriptions, tags, and previews must not conceal the actual subject of the content.
Ownership, permission, and attribution
Do not repost someone else's work without permission. A public post elsewhere is not permission to upload it here. Invite the creator to publish their own work, obtain explicit permission, or contact staff for help reaching them.
Choose a license you have authority to grant. When your post uses a community asset, add it as a source asset in the composer so the finished work carries the required attribution. Attribution does not replace permission or compliance with the source asset's license.
Hateful content
Content that promotes or expresses real-world hatred, discrimination, or derogatory treatment toward an ethnic or religious group is not allowed.
Accurate presentation
- Use labels that match the content actually present in the individual post.
- Use tags for relevant details not covered by labels.
- Do not use misleading thumbnails, titles, descriptions, labels, or tags.
- Keep source credits, licenses, and contributor information accurate when editing a post.
When you are unsure
Do not publish uncertain material and wait for moderation to decide after the fact. Review the Community Guidelines, then contact support with enough context for staff to answer before you post.
