⚠ Draft — pending legal review
This is an honest working draft written for product development, not by a lawyer. It is not yet in effect and must be reviewed and approved by a qualified lawyer before it binds anyone. Nothing here is legal advice.
Community Guidelines
How to behave, how moderation works, and the sanctions ladder — from a warning to account suspension.
v1 · Draft 22 July 2026 · not yet in effect
1. The spirit of the place
IDALL is a community of filmmakers who came here to make better work and get paid for it. Treat people the way a good film set works: direct, generous with craft, no ego games. These guidelines apply everywhere members interact — community feed, challenge and duel chat, comments, gifting, and profiles.
2. What good members do
- Give real feedback. When you judge or comment, say something someone can actually use.
- Credit others honestly and share how you made things — the revealed-prompt culture is the whole point.
- Compete hard and lose gracefully. The reveal is a lesson, not a scoreboard fight.
- Report things that break the rules instead of piling on.
3. What gets you actioned
- Harassment, hate, threats, or targeting anyone — see the hard lines in the Acceptable Use Policy, which applies in full here.
- Passing off someone else’s work as your own. Entering work you didn’t make is the fastest way to lose your rank.
- Cheating the game: vote manipulation, collusion, multi-accounting, farming rewards, or gaming the credit economy.
- Spam, scams, or advertising unrelated products.
- Trying to move credits into cash, or treating gifting as a payment rail — credits are not money (Refund & Billing).
4. How moderation works
We use a mix of automated safety filters, member reports, and human review. Every entry, verdict, and payout has a Report action. Report the specific item, pick a reason, and add evidence if you have it — reporting in good faith never counts against you.
Reports become cases
A report opens a case that moves through clear states — open → under review → upheld or dismissed — each with an admin note. If you filed it, you’re told at every step. A disputed challenge entry is marked under review and hidden from others until it’s resolved.
The 48-hour results window
Challenge results can be amended within 48 hours of publication if a dispute is upheld, and not after. This window is published so everyone knows when a result is final.
5. The sanctions ladder
We match the response to the violation. Minor, first-time issues start near the top; serious or repeat violations move down fast, and the worst can skip straight to the bottom.
- 1Warning — A note explaining what crossed the line and how to avoid it.
- 2Entry disqualified — A specific challenge or duel entry is removed and does not count.
- 3Forfeit of prize — Any prize from the affected round is withdrawn.
- 4Rank reset — Your rank and record are reset — the cost of serious violations like stealing work.
- 5Suspension from challenges — You keep your account but can’t enter challenges or duels for a period.
- 6Account suspension — Your whole account is suspended or closed.
The most severe content violations — anything involving minors, or non-consensual intimate imagery — bypass the ladder entirely and lead to immediate termination and, where required, a report to the authorities (Acceptable Use Policy §2–3). Every sanction is logged with who applied it, the reason, and the time.
6. Appeals
If you think a moderation decision was wrong, reply to the notice or contact us at the address on our Contact page. We’ll take another look. Decisions on the most serious safety violations are final.
