Acceptable Use

The test is what material is for, not what it is about. Difficult subject matter is not what this policy is about, and writing about it is not against it. So that nobody has to guess, the following are permitted:

• violence, injury, horror and gore;
• dark subject matter, including trauma, abuse, addiction, illness and death, where it is written about rather than depicted for arousal;
• adult characters of any gender, sexuality, body or identity, and relationships between them, including sexual ones, written about as part of a story rather than staged for the reader;
• nudity that is not sexual, including artistic, medical, anatomical and educational work;
• swearing and crude language.

None of that needs a warning label, a flag or a separate account, and none of it is reviewed differently from anything else.

Pornographic material is not permitted. Pornographic material means anything made solely or mainly to cause sexual arousal. That covers photographic, drawn, animated and generated imagery, and writing, and it applies whether the material is stored privately or shared by link.

Specifically, do not upload:

• images whose purpose is sexual arousal, including nudity presented that way;
• writing whose purpose is sexual arousal rather than telling a story.

The line is purpose, and it is the same line the law draws. A character can have a sex life and a story can say so. A scene written to arouse the reader is the thing this rule is about, whatever it is attached to.

Nothing here is a judgement about what you write. This rule exists because the service is open to anyone over 18 without an identity check, and because the card networks that sit behind any payment the operator can accept prohibit this material outright. Staying open to anybody over 18, and being able to accept a payment at all, both depend on the rule. It is drawn as narrowly as it can be for that reason, which is why it stops at purpose and does not reach subject matter.

Anything you upload or write here may be reviewed at any time. That includes your ad. Anything found to breach this policy is removed, and repeated breaches may close the account.

Removing something normally means withholding it, not deleting it. It stops being served on its share link and anywhere else it appears in public, and it is taken out of your library, your lists and its editor, so it cannot be edited, re-shared or deleted while the decision stands. It is kept, not destroyed: the record stays, a withheld picture still shows to you on the editing page of any character or scenario it is attached to, a withheld character or scenario may still be named on your other pages that list it, such as your ad, but cannot be opened from them, it is still in the downloads on your account page, and if the decision is reversed it comes back exactly as it was. That is deliberate: a decision that can be reversed is one you can argue with, and the thing being argued about still exists.

You are told when something of yours is taken down, by email to the address on your account, with the reason and whether it was withheld or deleted.

If something of yours is removed and you think that is wrong, say so. Write to report@replyr.co.uk and a person will look at it again and send a first reply within 5 working days. Removal is not automated and is not final: something withheld goes back exactly as it was.

If you do any of the following: the content goes, the account is closed and is not reinstated, and the records are kept. Where the law requires or allows it, it is reported to the police or to the appropriate authority.

Any depiction of a person who is under 18, or who appears to be under 18, in a sexual or indecent context. This includes photographic, drawn, animated, computer-generated and artificially generated imagery, and material presented as fictional. There is no context, artistic intent or disclaimer that makes this acceptable.

Intimate images of a real person shared without their consent, including images created, altered or generated to appear to be of them.

Material presented as real that depicts non-consensual sexual activity, or sexual activity involving a person unable to consent.

Material depicting extreme violence, bestiality or necrophilia, or anything else that is unlawful to possess or distribute.

Material that encourages or assists terrorism, or serious violence against any person or group.

Not permitted. You may not upload an image that was generated by AI, or one drawn over the top of a generated image to stand in for it. This applies to anything a picture is used for here, including a cover and a reference.

What is being tested is whether the picture was generated, not whether software touched it. A photograph is still a photograph after a phone has sharpened it, a scan is still a scan after the background has been rubbed out, and neither is caught by this. The rule is about where the picture came from.

This rule changed on 10 September 2026, and it used to say the opposite. It permitted these images and asked for no label, on the reasoning that how a picture was made changes nothing about what it is allowed to show. That is still true of what a picture shows, and it turned out to be the wrong question: the objection in this hobby is about where an image came from and who made it, which is the same objection the rights rule under Content standards is already built around.

A suspicion is not a report. An accusation will not be acted on because a picture has an unusual style, because somebody has improved, or because their uploads look inconsistent. What is needed is a plain artefact anybody can point at, or the person saying so themselves. Where it is not clear, nothing happens, and that is deliberate rather than reluctant: people in this hobby are being accused of this wrongly and in public, and a rule that can be aimed at somebody is worse than the thing it prohibits.

The service has no AI features of its own. It does not generate images or text, and nothing you upload or write is used to train a model, by the operator or by anyone else.

You must not upload, store or share anything that:

• you do not have the right to store and share, including material whose rights holder has not permitted its use;
• depicts an identifiable real person in a way they have not agreed to;
• is defamatory, harassing, threatening, or intended to humiliate or intimidate a particular person;
• impersonates a real person or misrepresents your connection to anyone;
• contains personal data about someone else that you have no lawful basis to hold;
• contains malware or anything designed to cause harm.

Before you upload anything showing a real person, you must be sure of two things. They were 18 or over when it was made. And they agreed to it being made, stored and shared in the way you mean to share it.

If you are asked to substantiate that, you must be able to do so. Being unable to is itself grounds for removal of the content.

A share link works for anyone who has it. Sending one is a deliberate act of publication to the person you send it to.

Do not send a share link to anyone under 18, or to anyone you have reason to think is under 18. Do not send one to anybody who has not said they want it.

Do not post a share link in public. That includes a forum, a social network, a public channel, an index, or anywhere it might be crawled or archived. Your ad is the one exception, and the next section is about it.

An ad is a page you write about yourself, to find someone to write with. It is the only page here meant to be posted in public. You write it, you publish it, and you can take it down at any time.

Anyone who opens your ad can read everything on it. That includes any way of contacting you that you put on it, and any character or scenario you choose to show. Adding one of those to your ad makes its link public too, and you cannot take that back from anyone who has already copied it.

Put as little about yourself on it as the job needs. Do not put your home address, your place of work, your phone number, or anything that would be seriously harmful to you if a stranger had it.

Anyone can read a public page, whatever their age. So your ad must not ask for anyone under 18, be worded to appeal to anyone under 18, or offer anything that would be prohibited here. You must not use an ad, or anything you find through one, to ask another person for material that this policy forbids, wherever that writing would happen.

If someone contacts you and will not stop, or asks you for something you did not agree to, stop replying and tell the operator. Anything that happens in another service is that service's to act on, and the operator will still take down an ad that broke these rules.

You must not:

• attempt to reach another account's content, or to guess, harvest or enumerate share tokens;
• probe, scan or test the service for vulnerabilities without written permission, or interfere with its operation;
• use automated means to download content in bulk, or place an unreasonable load on the service;
• circumvent any limit, control or access restriction in the service.

If you find a security problem, report it to report@replyr.co.uk rather than exploiting or publicising it. Good-faith reports are welcome and will not be treated as a breach of this policy.

If you find anything on this service that breaches this policy, including anything reached through a share link, report it to report@replyr.co.uk. You do not need an account to make a report.

Please include, so far as you can:

• the link or page concerned;
• what you believe is wrong with it;
• if it concerns you personally, enough for the operator to identify the material; and
• how to reply to you.

Reports are acknowledged within 2 working days. Material that looks unlawful is removed, or made unreachable, as soon as the operator knows about it. That happens before the report is looked into. As the Terms of Use set out, an image may still be served from caches for up to 5 minutes after that.

If an image of you has been uploaded without your consent, say so. It is normally withheld straight away, before the report is looked into, and you will not be asked to prove ownership of your own likeness first.

If you believe content on this service infringes your copyright or another right you hold, write to report@replyr.co.uk with:

• your name and contact details;
• identification of the work concerned;
• the link or page where it appears;
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law; and
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate.

Content that is the subject of a valid notice is removed expeditiously. The person who uploaded it is told what has been removed and why, and may reply if they believe the notice is mistaken.

Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid complaints may be suspended or closed.

Say so. Write to report@replyr.co.uk if it is about content that was withheld or removed, or to privacy@replyr.co.uk for anything else, and a person will look at it again.

You will get a first reply within 5 working days. Withheld content is kept exactly as it was while this is happening, so a decision that turns out to be wrong can be undone. The Terms of Use set out the same route for complaints about anything else.

The operator can see all content on the service and may review anything on it at any time, uploads and written pages alike, as well as whenever a report is made. Nothing is screened before it is stored or published, so review happens afterwards.

Review is not a guarantee. Something breaching this policy may sit on the service until it is noticed or reported, which is why reporting matters.

Where a breach is suspected, an account may be suspended immediately and without notice. Suspension signs the account out at once and prevents it signing back in. No money is involved either way: the service is free, so a suspension costs you nothing and reinstating an account costs nothing either.

Where content appears to be unlawful, the operator will keep the relevant records. That means the account's email address, the times things were uploaded, and the file's own checksum, which identifies the exact bytes after the file itself has gone. Cloudflare records ordinary request information, including IP addresses, on its own terms. They are kept for as long as an investigation needs them. The operator will help law enforcement, and will respond to lawful requests for information.

Beyond the specific commitments made in this policy, how a breach is dealt with is the operator's judgement. This policy does not create a right for one user to have another user's account or content acted on.
