Community guidelines

Playback exists so people can argue about what happened in a moment. Disagreeing is the point. These are the few things that make it not worth having.

• Argue with the read, not the person. Attacks, slurs and harassment are removed.
• No spam. Links to gambling, piracy or anything unrelated to the moment are removed.
• Don’t pretend to be someone. That includes handles designed to look like another person or channel.
• One person is one voice. If you run more than one handle, don’t use them to look like several people agreeing. Handles you run can’t heart each other’s work, and their reports count once.
• Only share what you’re allowed to. Point at videos; don’t reupload them.
• A meme is a joke about a moment, not a claim about a person. Captions that put words in a real person’s mouth as if they said them, or that target a private person, are removed. Joke about what happened, not who someone is.
• Nothing sexual involving minors, ever. It is reported to the authorities.

Reporting

Every Playback, Cut, Compare, comment, board and profile has a Report button for anyone but its author, with or without an account. Pick what is wrong and add anything that helps us find it, such as a time in the video.

A person reads every report and decides it. Reports wait in a review queue, and we are alerted within a few hours of one arriving. We either take the thing down, or leave it up and close the report. A report that says a child is shown or named is read first.

One step is automatic. When three members (people signed in with a handle for at least a day, on three different networks) report the same Playback or comment posted by a guest (someone posting without an account), it is hidden until we have reviewed it. Work posted from an account is never hidden automatically; its reports wait for us. Whoever posted it is not told when it is hidden.

Report what breaks these guidelines, not what you disagree with. Reports made to bury a view are closed, and each connection can send only a limited number a day. If a video of yours is used without your permission, use the copyright form instead.
