Photo Guidelines
These guidelines apply to avatars, profile gallery photos, chat-room photo uploads, private-message photos, and any other image feature available on Twunked.
1. Photos you may upload
Upload photos that you created, own, or have permission to share. Photos should be appropriate for a community chat service and should not violate another person's privacy, safety, or intellectual property rights.
2. Nudity and sexually explicit content
The following are not allowed:
- Nudity or visible genitals.
- Sexual activity or explicit sexual acts.
- Sexually graphic close-ups or content primarily intended to display explicit sexual material.
- Non-consensual intimate images or threats to share intimate images.
3. Minors
Never upload sexualized, nude, exploitative, or otherwise inappropriate imagery involving anyone under 18. Content that appears to involve child sexual exploitation may be removed, accounts may be restricted, and information may be reported when required by law.
4. Consent and privacy
- Do not upload private or intimate photos of another person without permission.
- Do not post images containing another person's private address, phone number, financial information, identification documents, or other sensitive personal information.
- Do not use screenshots of private conversations to harass, shame, threaten, or expose another member.
5. Violence, threats, and harmful imagery
Graphic gore, credible threats, images celebrating serious violence, or content intended to terrorize or intimidate another person may be removed.
6. Hate and harassment
Do not use photos to attack, degrade, threaten, or promote hatred against people based on protected characteristics. Images used primarily to target or harass another member may also be removed.
7. Illegal, deceptive, or abusive content
The following are not allowed:
- Images used for scams, fraud, phishing, or impersonation.
- Illegal content or images used to facilitate illegal activity.
- Malware, malicious QR codes, or content designed to compromise another person's device or account.
- Repeated advertising or spam images unrelated to the community conversation.
8. Copyright and ownership
Do not upload copyrighted images unless you own them, have permission, or otherwise have a lawful right to share them. If someone else's work appears in your photo, you are responsible for having any necessary rights.
9. Profile and gallery photos
Profile and gallery images should not intentionally mislead other members about who is operating the account. Creative, hobby, pet, travel, art, and community-interest photos are welcome when they otherwise follow these rules.
10. Enforcement
Twunked may remove images that violate these guidelines, prevent further uploads, issue warnings or bans, restrict an account, or take other reasonable moderation action. Repeated or severe violations may result in account suspension or termination.
Members can use Twunked's reporting tools when they believe a photo violates these rules.
