Community Code of Conduct

Last Updated: [DATE]

DRAFT — this page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Replace bracketed placeholders and confirm enforcement practices match reality before publishing.

  1. Our Community Standards

    Mywebtales is a place for readers and creators to connect around stories. This Code of Conduct applies to comments, creator profiles, library activity, and every other place users interact on the Service. Using the Service means agreeing to follow these rules.

  2. General Conduct

    Be respectful: disagreement is fine; personal attacks, name-calling, and insults are not.

    Be a good community member: follow these rules and report content that doesn't.

    Protect privacy: don't share real names, addresses, phone numbers, or other identifying details about yourself or anyone else.

  3. Self-Harm, Suicide, and Crisis Content

    Content that glorifies, encourages, or gives instructions for suicide, self-harm, or disordered eating is removed on sight. Content that references these topics for the purpose of raising awareness or sharing a personal story is allowed, provided it's handled sensitively and isn't graphic or instructional. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, report the content right away and, if appropriate, contact local emergency services or a crisis line.

  4. Bullying, Harassment, and Threats

    Repeated unwanted contact, intimidation, spreading rumors, and demeaning behavior toward an individual or group are prohibited. Threats of physical harm or violence will be removed and may be reported to law enforcement. Sharing someone's private identifying information without consent (doxxing) results in immediate account action.

  5. Hate Speech and Discrimination

    We remove content that incites hatred, violence, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or similar characteristics. Hateful symbols or slurs are not allowed except in clear educational or historical context. Stereotypes used to demean or incite hatred toward a group are not allowed, even within storytelling.

  6. Spam, Advertising, and Piracy

    Unsolicited links, including links to explicit or NSFW content, are not allowed. Posting or linking to pirated copyrighted material is prohibited — see our Copyright Policies tab above for the takedown process.

  7. Lawful Conduct

    You're responsible for making sure your content and use of the Service comply with the laws that apply to you. Content that features, encourages, or solicits illegal activity is prohibited and may be reported to authorities.

  8. Reporting and Enforcement

    Use the in-app report tool to flag content that violates this policy; our team reviews reports and takes action ranging from a warning to content removal to permanent suspension, depending on severity. Accounts with repeated violations may face further restrictions.

Content Guidelines for Canvas

Last Updated: [DATE]

DRAFT — this page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Confirm content-rating tools and moderation workflows referenced below actually exist before publishing.

  1. Content Ratings

    Every series must be rated General or Mature when published, and re-rated if its content changes. The Mature rating exists so creators can tell the full range of stories our readers come to Canvas for — it is not a workaround for content that's prohibited outright below, and readers must confirm their age to view Mature-rated series.

  2. Intellectual Property

    You must own the rights to everything you upload, or have permission to use it. Posting content without the necessary rights, or linking to pirated material, is not allowed. Repeat infringers face escalating account restrictions, up to suspension.

  3. Hateful or Abusive Content

    Content that promotes violence or incites hatred toward individuals or groups based on protected characteristics is prohibited, including the use of hate symbols without meaningful context. Stories may explore difficult social themes, but may not use stereotypes to glorify or incite hatred.

  4. Sexual Content

    Sexual and romantic themes, suggestive imagery, and non-explicit nudity are allowed under a Mature rating when they serve the story — this is core to many genres readers come here for. What's not allowed at any rating: full frontal/rear nudity or graphic depictions of explicit sexual acts (including the explicit use of sex toys); box or mosaic censoring in place of natural in-story concealment; content whose sole purpose is sexual gratification with no narrative significance; and any content glorifying sexual violence or non-consensual acts. Illegal sex acts — including any sexualized depiction of a minor — are never allowed under any rating and are removed immediately, with the account reported where required by law.

  5. Violence

    Combat, gore, and disturbing violence are allowed under a Mature rating when they're part of the story. What's not allowed at any rating: gratuitous violence with no narrative purpose, content that glorifies or gives instructions for inflicting harm on people or animals, and content providing instructions for building or acquiring weapons or explosives. Box or mosaic censoring is not an acceptable substitute for a Mature rating.

  6. Self-Harm and Suicide

    Content that instructs or glorifies self-harm is prohibited. References to self-injury, eating disorders, or suicidal ideation are allowed when contextually relevant and handled as awareness or lived-experience storytelling, not shock content. Report anyone who appears to be in immediate danger to local authorities.

  7. Dangerous or Illegal Content

    Content promoting terrorism or extremist violence, glamorizing drug or alcohol abuse, or spreading deliberate health or safety disinformation is prohibited. Creators are responsible for complying with applicable laws in the regions where their content is available.

  8. Spam and Deceptive Content

    Unsolicited links, series created mainly to drive traffic elsewhere, artificially inflated view counts, and undisclosed sponsored content are all prohibited.

  9. Regional Sensitivities

    Because the Service is available in multiple regions, content acceptable in one place may not be available in another where it conflicts with local law or cultural norms. We may restrict a series' availability in specific regions rather than removing it globally.

  10. Reporting and Appeals

    Report violations using the in-app report tool. Content removed under these guidelines can be appealed — see the Appeals Policy tab above.

Appeals Policy: Episode & Series Removal

Last Updated: [DATE]

DRAFT — this page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Confirm the review paths below match your actual moderation team's process before publishing.

  1. Episode Removal Notification

    If an episode or series you've published is removed for violating our Content Guidelines, you'll receive a notification explaining the reason and how to appeal. You can choose one of the following paths:

  2. Path 1 — Revise the Episode

    If you understand the violation, you can revise the episode yourself and resubmit it for review using the instructions in your notification.

  3. Path 2 — Work With Creator Support

    If you need help understanding the violation, our Creator Support team can walk you through it and suggest edits. Because this involves human review, it may take longer to resolve than a self-revision.

  4. Path 3 — Appeal Without Revisions

    If you believe the removal was a mistake, you can appeal without changing anything. Provide a clear, concise explanation of why you believe the original decision was incorrect, and our team will re-evaluate it.

  5. Possible Outcomes

    Appeal approved: your content is restored.

    Original decision upheld: the removal stands; this decision is final, and you'll need to revise the content and resubmit for a fresh review.

    New decision: in some cases a different moderation action may be applied instead.

  6. Contact

    Questions about an appeal can be sent to [CREATOR SUPPORT EMAIL].

Copyright Policies

Last Updated: [DATE]

DRAFT — this page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Have counsel confirm this satisfies DMCA safe-harbor requirements for your jurisdiction before publishing, and fill in the designated agent details.

  1. Overview

    This policy explains what to do if you believe your copyrighted work was used on Mywebtales without permission, and how we handle infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). Uploaders must own or have permission for everything they post; repeat infringers face escalating account restrictions.

  2. Filing a Takedown Notice

    Copyright holders or their authorized agents can send a takedown notice to [DMCA CONTACT EMAIL] including: proof of copyright ownership; the specific URL of the infringing content; a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized; a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you're authorized to act; your contact information; and your signature (a typed full legal name is sufficient).

    Once we receive a valid notice, we remove access to the content and notify the uploader, including sharing your name and contact details as required by law. If the uploader doesn't respond within the period required by law, the content stays down.

  3. Filing a Counter-Notice

    If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to [DMCA CONTACT EMAIL] identifying the removed content, stating in good faith that removal was an error, consenting to jurisdiction and service of process, and accepting liability for any misrepresentation — plus your contact information and signature.

    We may forward your counter-notice to the original claimant, who then has a limited window under applicable law to pursue legal action. If they don't, the content may be restored.

  4. Incomplete Notices

    If a takedown or counter-notice is missing required information, we may ask the sender to complete it within a set number of business days; if they don't, the notice is treated as invalid.

  5. Contact

    Send copyright notices to [DMCA CONTACT EMAIL].
