Community Guidelines
Community Guidelines
Effective date: August 11, 2026
Last updated: August 11, 2026
1. Our approach
Paw.Page gives creators, communities, businesses and fans a friendly place to share who they are and where to find them.
Different identities, communities, creative styles and forms of self-expression are welcome. That freedom depends on users respecting consent, safety, honesty and the rights of others.
These Guidelines apply to profiles, usernames, images, biographies, links, imported content, reports and other activity on Paw.Page.
Content may violate these Guidelines even if the same content is available elsewhere.
2. Be authentic without exposing yourself
You may use a pseudonym, creator name, fursona, character name or business identity.
You may not:
Impersonate a real person, creator, business or organisation.
Falsely claim affiliation, sponsorship or verification.
Create a profile designed to confuse visitors about its source.
Use another person’s images or biography deceptively.
Operate parody or fan accounts without making their unofficial nature clear.
Do not publish private information such as home addresses, identity documents, private telephone numbers or financial details.
3. Respect other people
Do not use Paw.Page to harass, threaten, intimidate, shame or target someone.
Prohibited conduct includes:
Credible threats of violence.
Repeated unwanted targeting.
Encouraging others to harass someone.
Publishing private information without permission.
Blackmail, extortion or coercion.
Celebrating or encouraging serious harm.
Sexual harassment.
Retaliatory reports.
Coordinated abuse campaigns.
Criticism and disagreement are generally allowed. Targeted abuse and threats are not.
4. No hate or dehumanisation
Do not attack, dehumanise, exclude or promote violence against people based on protected characteristics such as:
Race or ethnicity.
Nationality or immigration status.
Religion or caste.
Disability or serious medical condition.
Sex, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Age.
Veteran status.
Other characteristics protected by applicable law.
Discussion, education, counterspeech and reclamation may be permitted when the context is clear and the content does not promote harm.
5. Protect minors
Paw.Page has zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation or endangerment.
Never publish, request, offer, link to, promote or facilitate:
Child sexual abuse material.
Sexualised depictions of minors.
Grooming or sexual conversations with minors.
Sexual roleplay involving minors.
Content that presents an adult as a minor for sexual purposes.
Content that presents a fictional or illustrated character as a minor in a sexual context.
Sexual services involving anyone under 18.
Instructions for concealing abuse.
Attempts to direct minors toward adult communities or content.
“Fictional,” “drawn,” “AI-generated” or “roleplay” labels do not make sexualised depictions of minors acceptable on Paw.Page.
Apparent child exploitation may be reported to appropriate authorities or child-protection organisations.
6. Mature Content and Sensitive Content Labels
Paw.Page is intended to stay friendly, accessible, and safe for a broad community. Mature, sensitive, or age-restricted material must be marked using the available Sensitive Content controls.
Public-facing profile pictures, avatars, directory images, map images, usernames, Paw.Page URLs, display names, and preview labels must remain suitable for a general audience.
Do not mislabel mature, sensitive, or age-restricted material as general-audience content.
Sensitive Content labels are for warnings, safety filtering, and moderation review. They do not make illegal, exploitative, non-consensual, deceptive, harmful, or otherwise prohibited material acceptable.
Paw.Page may require content to be marked Sensitive Content, reduce its visibility, remove it, or restrict related features where needed for safety, moderation, payment-provider, hosting-provider, legal, or community reasons.
7. Privacy, consent, and harmful imagery
Do not publish, upload, import, embed, or link to intimate images, recordings, sexualised depictions, or private material involving another person without clear permission and any required Sensitive Content marking.
This includes content that was originally created by you, privately shared with you, publicly available elsewhere, or created with editing tools.
Threatening to publish private, intimate, or humiliating material is also prohibited.
8. Violence and dangerous conduct
Do not use Paw.Page to:
Make credible threats.
Coordinate violent activity.
Promote terrorism or violent extremist organisations.
Recruit for violent criminal groups.
Glorify real-world mass violence in a way that encourages imitation.
Provide instructions intended to facilitate serious physical harm.
Documentary, educational, artistic or newsworthy material may be allowed when appropriately contextualised and not used to promote harm.
9. Self-harm
Do not encourage, celebrate or provide instructions for suicide, self-harm or disordered eating.
Supportive recovery discussion and links to legitimate help resources are allowed.
If we believe someone faces an immediate danger, we may take protective action or contact appropriate emergency services where reasonably possible.

13. Intellectual property
Only publish content you own or have permission to use.
Respect copyright, trademark, publicity and other rights belonging to artists, photographers, creators, brands and communities.
Fan content may be allowed, but it must not misleadingly imply that it is official or endorsed.
Crediting an artist does not replace permission when permission is legally required.
Copyright complaints should follow the DMCA process in our Terms of Use.
14. AI-generated and altered content
AI-generated content is not allowed on Paw.Page.
Do not publish, upload, import, embed, or link to AI-generated images, artwork, biographies, profile media, deepfakes, synthetic identity content, or other AI-generated creative content.
Do not use AI-generated or altered content to impersonate someone, mislead visitors, infringe an artist’s rights, fabricate endorsements, harass another person, or sexualise minors or minor-presenting characters.
Do not claim that AI-generated work was handmade by an artist.
Communities and linked services may impose stricter AI-content rules. You are responsible for following their terms when linking to or promoting content there.
15. Privacy and personal information

This includes:
Home addresses or precise non-public locations.
Identity documents.
Financial-account information.

Clearly disclose paid endorsements and affiliate relationships where required.
Do not promote fraudulent fundraising, pyramid schemes, deceptive investment opportunities or products that violate these Guidelines.

The relevant profile or link.
The most accurate report category.
A concise explanation.
Supporting evidence where appropriate.
Do not use reports to settle personal disputes, silence criticism or overwhelm another user.

20. Enforcement
