Draft — not yet in forceThe site's position on minors: who may use it, what content is prohibited without exception, and how a concern is reported.
What follows is the agreed structure of this document, not the document itself. The binding wording is being drafted and reviewed by a qualified lawyer, and it replaces this outline before the site opens to the public. Nothing on this page creates or limits any obligation.
We publish the outline rather than a placeholder because you are entitled to know what a policy will cover before you can read it, and because a page of convincing-looking text that no lawyer has seen is worse than an empty one: there would be no way to tell the two apart.
Each heading below becomes a numbered section of the final text.
The eligibility rule and how it is enforced at the point of access.
An absolute prohibition covering all characters and all generated material, with no exception for fiction, stylisation or claimed age. Every character published on this site carries a stated age of eighteen or over, and a build-time test blocks any record that does not.
How to report a concern, and the commitment on response time.
Removal, account action, preservation of evidence and referral to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children where applicable. Wording reviewed against reporting obligations.
What happens when we learn that a user is under eighteen.
These are not adapted from a template pack. Several of the clauses only make sense here: no payment is ever taken on this domain, passwords are entered only on account pages, and all visual material is generated rather than photographed. Each of those facts changes the document that describes it, and a generic template would state the opposite.
The thirteen documents are marked as launch blockers in the project’s own route map, which means the site is not considered releasable while any of them is still an outline. The review covers United States federal requirements and state privacy law, and the set is written independently of the sibling site rather than copied across.
Twelve more documents, all at the same stage.
