  • Targeted harassment or privacy violations
  • Attempts to circumvent platform protections
  • Unauthorized use of protected content
  • Content promoting unlawful activities

Video & AI Watch Party Guidelines

How We Keep Dmooji Safe

Our Approach

We use a combination of:

  • AI Detection: Automated systems flag potential issues
  • Human Review: Our team reviews reported content
  • Community Reports: You help us by reporting problems

Community Guidelines Strike System

We use a strike system similar to copyright enforcement to keep our community safe:

  1. Strike 1: Warning + content removed + 7-day upload freeze
  2. Strike 2: 14-day account suspension + limited features
  3. Strike 3: Account permanently closed

✅ Good News: Community Guidelines strikes expire after 90 days of maintaining good standing. Keep contributing positively and your strikes will be cleared!

Note: Severe violations (harmful content, harassment, illegal activity) may result in immediate account termination without prior strikes.

Creator Program Violation System

For members of the Creator Program, we use a tiered enforcement system based on violation severity:

⚠️ Tier 1 - Minor Violations

Examples:

  • Misleading titles or thumbnails (clickbait)
  • Excessive promotional content or spam
  • Minor content quality issues

Consequence: Warning + specific content demonetized. Video removed from revenue eligibility but remains on platform.

🔴 Tier 2 - Moderate Violations

Examples:

  • Content inappropriate for platform audience
  • Multiple copyright claims on different videos
  • Repeated minor violations after warnings
  • Unverified content ownership claims

Consequence: 15-30 day earning suspension. All payouts temporarily frozen during investigation. May require re-verification.

🚫 Tier 3 - Severe Violations

Examples:

  • Harmful, dangerous, or illegal content
  • Repeated copyright strikes (3 strikes)
  • Content exploitation or harassment
  • Fraudulent monetization attempts
  • Repeated violations after suspensions

Consequence: Permanent removal from Creator Program. Pending earnings may be forfeited. Platform access may be retained for viewing only.

Monetization Strike System

In addition to Community Guidelines strikes, creators receive monetization-specific strikes:

  • Yellow Icon: Limited monetization - content is suitable but may have reduced earning potential
  • Red Icon: No monetization - content violates monetization policies, revenue eligibility removed
  • 3 Monetization Strikes in 90 days: Temporary removal from Creator Program for 30 days

💡 Reinstatement: After 30-day suspension, you can reapply to the Creator Program. You'll need to demonstrate understanding of policies and commitment to compliance.
