Trust, Safety & Legal

The rules that keep StoryForge safe for readers and sustainable for authors.

Content Guidelines

1. Principle

StoryForge welcomes bold storytelling. These guidelines keep the platform safe for readers and sustainable for authors. Content that crosses these lines may be age-gated, hidden, or removed, and repeat violations can lead to account suspension.

2. Zero tolerance

The following are never allowed: sexual content involving minors (including fictional characters); non-consensual sexual content; realistic encouragement of self-harm or suicide; terrorist propaganda; and doxxing or credible threats of violence against real people.

3. Mature content & ratings

Erotic, graphic-violence, or horror content must use an accurate age rating and content warnings. Explicit sexual content must involve consenting adults and stay within the story’s tagged rating. Misrated works will be re-rated or hidden until fixed.

4. Hate & harassment

Content that demeans or dehumanizes people based on protected characteristics, or that targets a real person for harassment, is prohibited. Fictional villains with prejudiced views must be clearly framed as such by the narrative.

5. Spam, plagiarism & AI

Do not repost others’ work without rights, flood the platform with low-effort or machine-generated spam, or manipulate rankings, reads, or reviews. AI assistance is allowed but you are responsible for the final text, and undisclosed mass-generated catalogs may be removed.

6. Monetized chapters

Premium chapters must deliver the story experience advertised — no bait chapters, no paywalled content that violates these guidelines, and no misleading pricing. Abusive monetization can result in loss of earning privileges.

7. Reporting & appeals

Use the report action on any story, chapter, post, or comment. Our reviewers assess context before acting. If your work was moderated in error, appeal through Settings → Support with the work title and a brief explanation.
