Community Guidelines

Last updated: 2026. We may update these Guidelines from time to time. Continued use of Plaidia after changes means you accept the updated version.

1. Be respectful

Plaidia is a shared creative space. Treat other users with basic respect, even when you disagree.

• No harassment, bullying, stalking, or targeted abuse of any user.
• No hate speech or content that attacks, dehumanizes, or incites hatred or violence against people based on protected characteristics such as origin, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
• No threats of violence, encouragement of violence, or glorification of violent acts or perpetrators.
• No doxxing - do not publish or threaten to publish another person's private or identifying information.

2. Protect minors

We have zero tolerance for any content or behavior that endangers minors. This is the most serious category of violation on Plaidia.

• Never create, upload, share, request, or link to any sexual content involving minors, or any content that sexualizes minors. This applies to images, text, audio, scripts, avatars, and game content of any kind.
• No grooming, predatory behavior, or attempts to make contact with a minor for inappropriate purposes.
• No content that endangers a child's physical or emotional wellbeing.

Suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and offenses against minors are reported to the relevant law enforcement and child-protection authorities, and the responsible accounts are permanently terminated. See our Child Safety page for details.

3. No illegal or harmful content

• No content that is illegal under applicable law, including the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union.
• No promotion of terrorism, violent extremism, or extremist organizations or symbols.
• No instructions or facilitation for serious physical harm, weapons manufacture, or dangerous illegal activity.
• No content promoting self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
• No sale or facilitation of illegal goods, drugs, or regulated items.

4. Keep it honest - no fraud or scams

• No scams, phishing, or attempts to deceive users into giving up credentials, currency, or personal data.
• No impersonation of other users, Plaidia staff, or third parties in a misleading way.
• No deceptive monetization, fake giveaways, or misrepresentation of what a game or item does.

5. Play fair - no cheating or exploiting

• No cheating, exploiting bugs for unfair advantage, or manipulating leaderboards, ratings, or platform statistics.
• No use of unauthorized third-party software, bots, or automation to interfere with games or the platform.
• No attempts to circumvent moderation, bans, or access restrictions, including ban evasion through alternate accounts.

6. Do not attack the platform

Any attempt to compromise the security, integrity, or availability of Plaidia or its users is strictly prohibited and may be a criminal offense (in Germany, see §§ 202a–202c, 303a, and 303b StGB).

• No malware, malicious scripts, or code designed to harm users, steal data, or gain unauthorized access.
• No denial-of-service attacks, spam flooding, or deliberate disruption of services.
• No probing, scanning, or exploiting vulnerabilities except through a responsible-disclosure process we have approved in advance.

7. Respect intellectual property

Only upload content you created or have the rights to use. Do not steal, re-upload, or republish other users' work without permission. See our Copyright & IP Policy for how to report infringement.

8. Reporting and enforcement

If you see content or behavior that breaks these Guidelines, please report it using the in-app report function. We review reports and may, at our discretion, remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts permanently.

We apply enforcement proportionately and case by case. Serious violations — especially those involving minors, criminal conduct, or platform attacks — may result in immediate permanent termination and referral to the authorities, without prior warning.

Where required, you may contest a moderation decision in line with the procedures described in our Terms of Service and applicable law, including the EU Digital Services Act.
