New here? No worries — we'll walk you through it one step at a time. *** ## Where can I find the NSFW content guidelines? You can check them while creating a character. On the character creation screen, click the **View Guidelines** link near the **Safe Mode** toggle, and you'll immediately see what content is allowed and what isn't. > 💡 Giving the guidelines a quick read before you build a character can save you from having your content restricted later. For a closer look at the creation flow, see [Quick Creation](/redchat.app/guides/quick-creation.md). *** ## What happens if I break the guidelines? We take action in stages, depending on how serious the violation is. * **Content removal** — The character, story, image, or other item in question may be taken down. * **Warning** — The account receives a formal warning explaining the violation, for lower-severity or first-time issues. * **Temporary suspension** — Access to certain features may be temporarily blocked. * **Permanent termination** — If a violation is severe or repeated, the account may be permanently terminated. > ⚠️ **Some content is never allowed, regardless of your settings.** Prohibited content — including any sexual depiction of minors — is never permitted under any circumstances, whether Safe Mode is off or however you've set your visibility. As long as you respect this one line, you're free to create to your heart's content. For the full set of standards, see [Content & Safety Guidelines](/redchat.app/policies/content-safety-guidelines.md). *** ## Other people can't see my character (or story). Why is that? The most common reason is a single setting. Let's check it. **Visibility is set to Private** * **Private**: Only you can see it. * **Public**: Others can find and play it too. * To make it visible to others, switch it to **Public**. Adult content isn't the issue — redchat is an adult-native platform, so explicit and adult-themed characters are visible to all verified adults **by default**. There's no creator-side "Safe Mode" toggle that gates whether an adult character surfaces. The only related setting is a **personal SFW filter** a viewer may optionally enable for themselves, which affects only their own view and never determines what other users see. > ✅ **Quick checklist** > > * Is visibility set to **Public**? > * Still not showing up? It may be under moderation review — see "What happens if I break the guidelines?" above. *** ### Still have questions? If you couldn't find your answer here, feel free to reach out anytime through channel support. We're also happy to help if you're wondering why a character is under review or why specific content was restricted. 🙌 --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
