Community Guidelines

Our platform allows people to discover, use, create and/or share bots. To help ensure a safe, trustworthy, and vibrant experience, we maintain a set of Community Guidelines that include rules and standards for using our platform.

We use a combination of technology and people to identify, review, and take action on content that violates our policies. If we identify violations of our policies, we might prevent the creation of bots, restrict or remove content, and/or limit the ability to use bots. In cases of severe or repeated violations of our guidelines we might also temporarily or permanently ban your account.

Thank you for embracing these principles, and contributing to the integrity of our platform.


1. Youth safety and well-being

Youth safety is our priority. You must be 18 years and older to have an account. We strictly prohibit any content that depicts, encourages, facilitates, or promotes any form of youth exploitation and abuse, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), nudity, grooming, sextortion, solicitation, pedophilia, or physical and psychological abuse of young people. We report child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and supporting evidence to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and/or to any other relevant legal authorities.


2. Safety and civility

Our platform should be used to uphold principles of respect, empathy, equality, and mutual understanding. We do not allow generating content that incites or promotes hateful behavior, violence, and human exploitation. This includes:

• Promoting or glorifying hateful groups, figures or ideologies, including by attacking, threatening or inciting violence against people on the basis of protected attributes, such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, serious disease, disability or immigration status

Exception: reproductive health and sex education content, such as the use of birth control and abortion discussed in a medical way
