Safety policy
No pornography. NSFW behind age assurance.
Pornography and sexually explicit content are prohibited everywhere on Rated or Hated, including private messages. ROH may allow clearly labeled, non-pornographic mature content in a separate NSFW area after third-party age assurance is configured. That area is not enabled yet, so NSFW submissions remain hidden and cannot be approved for release. All submitted posts and media require human approval before publication.
Content that is prohibited
- Pornography and sexually explicit imagery or activity in posts, comments, profiles, or private messages. An NSFW label or private-chat setting does not make it acceptable.
- Nudity or sexualized content involving a minor, including synthetic or AI-generated depictions.
- Intimate images shared without the depicted person’s consent, including manipulated or AI-generated sexual images of a real person.
- Graphic violence, encouragement of self-harm or suicide, dangerous challenges, or content that promotes eating disorders or harmful drug use.
- Targeted hateful attacks, threats, harassment, doxxing, or calls for violence.
What may qualify for NSFW
Once enabled, the age-restricted area may contain clearly labeled, non-pornographic mature themes or imagery, such as strong language, adult subject matter, or tasteful, non-sexual nudity of adults in an artistic or educational context. Each post must show an NSFW label and a specific warning before a member opens it; previews must be obscured. NSFW will be off by default and excluded from public feeds and search. Access requires third-party age assurance and a deliberate opt-in. This content must not be presented in a pornographic or sexually explicit way. Pornography, sexually explicit content, any nudity involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, and content otherwise prohibited here will not be allowed in the NSFW area.
Contextual discussion
News, politics, health, and safety topics are allowed when presented without prohibited sexual content, graphic violence, harassment, or instructions encouraging harm. Political debate is allowed. Criticism of ideas, institutions, public policies, and public conduct is permitted; attacks on people based on protected traits are not.
Age and child safety
A member must confirm they are at least 18 to create an account. Public pages remain suitable for general audiences. The separate NSFW area will require third-party age assurance before access; a self-declared age alone will not unlock it. ROH will keep the NSFW area disabled until its age-assurance process is configured.
Report content
Use the post’s Report this post control or the message’s Report control. One report hides a post, comment, or message while a human reviews it. Reports are triaged by safety priority and age, with a 36-hour internal resolution target. A quarantine is a temporary safety measure, not a finding that the content violated a rule. A moderator or admin decides whether to remove the content or approve its release. A report alone does not automatically delete content permanently or penalize an account.
Urgent removal request
Report an intimate image shared without consent
The depicted person or an authorized representative can use this form without an ROH account. Provide the exact ROH post URL so staff can locate and hide it. Where the federal Take It Down Act applies, ROH will remove the identified image and known identical copies within 48 hours after receiving a valid request. ROH targets report resolution within 36 hours to provide a buffer. Do not upload or resend the image itself.
Report copyright infringement
Copyright notices use a separate process with specific legal statements. Use the Copyright and DMCA page. Do not submit a privacy, harassment, or safety issue as a copyright claim.
Read the full Community Guidelines and Terms. ROH’s content rules do not replace jurisdiction-specific legal requirements.
