Community Rules
These rules apply to submissions, comments, Development Rooms, Actor Universe materials, votes, boosts, and every public-facing interaction on community.movie. We enforce through automated signals and human moderators.
Generally allowed
- Original fiction, world-building, and tone-appropriate humour that respects other members.
- Constructive critique of ideas (not people), including clear "why" explanations and alternate suggestions.
- Age-appropriate romantic or dramatic themes without explicit sexual violence, exploitation, or graphic gore.
- Fantasy violence described at a PG-13 level suitable for a broad studio audience.
- Fan enthusiasm expressed without copying third-party scripts, novel excerpts, or brand-owned character bibles verbatim.
Rejected (immediate removal / strike)
- Harassment, doxxing, brigading, hate speech, slurs, or violent threats.
- Sexual content involving minors, exploitation, or non-consensual themes.
- Terrorism, extremist recruitment, instructions for serious real-world harm, or facilitation of illegal weapons or drugs.
- Malware, fraud, phishing, spam networks, or credential harvesting.
- Impersonation of staff, moderators, or public figures intended to mislead the community or steal accounts.
- Attempts to treat community.movie as a fundraising vehicle for financial returns, unregistered offers, or off-platform paid schemes tied to our greenlights.
Needs human review
- Edge-case political, cultural, or religious allegory that may read as targeting real groups.
- Depictions of mental health, self-harm, or eating disorders that require contextual framing or resources.
- High-intensity action or horror that could exceed our default audience expectations for a challenge brief.
- Alleged lookalikes or thinly veiled references to real private individuals.
- Trademark-adjacent names, logos, or stills that may require clearance even if submitted as "parody".
Actor Universe add-ons
Actor submissions may not depict real people (including celebrities), private individuals, or minors; may not clone copyrighted franchise characters or distinctive trade dress; may not sexualise performers; and may not centre graphic torture, gore, hate iconography, or extremist symbols. Moderators may crop, reject, or require edits before publication.
Enforcement
We may warn, shadow-limit, suspend, or terminate accounts; withhold distribution; or remove associated media. Repeat or severe abuse may trigger permanent loss of Studio Credits and membership without a refund beyond what our refund policy describes.
