🛡️ ZERO TOLERANCE PLATFORM STANDARDS

Community Guidelines &
Content Safety Standards

THREAD MECHANICS

5. Fair Turn-Taking & Thread Completion

Collaborative storytelling thrives on equal participation. Every story belongs to the community that authors it.

  • Pass the Plot: Creators cannot submit two consecutive sentences. You must wait for another user to contribute before your next turn.
  • 15-Comment Climax: When the 15th comment is submitted, the story locks into STRIKING_SOON and automatically triggers the AI movie compilation.
  • Respect Creative Continuity: Build meaningfully upon preceding lines. Gibberish, bot spam, and disruptive troll contributions will be pruned.
⚡ Automated Real-Time Enforcement

Every sentence submitted through the POST /v1/stories/:id/contribute API is analyzed instantly. If your submission violates any guideline category above, the submission is immediately denied with an HTTP 422 error code, and no sentence is appended to the story thread.

Repeated violations will result in automated temporary timeouts, device fingerprint bans, or permanent account termination.
