Community Guidelines

SyntForge is a venue for AI creators. These guidelines complement the [Terms of Service](/legal/terms) and explain what we expect from community members. ## 1. Our values - Respect for other creators and their work - Honesty: your own content, your own results in challenges - Openness to AI tools — any models and techniques are welcome, as long as the published work complies with the licenses of the tools used ## 2. What's prohibited - **Plagiarism** — publishing others' work or material without rights - **Harassment and bullying** — toxic comments, discrimination of any kind - **Manipulation** — fake likes/views/votes, multiple accounts for challenge voting - **Unlabeled NSFW** — 18+ material must be explicitly labeled as such - **Spam** — advertising third-party services, irrelevant links in comments and descriptions - **Deceiving jury/audience** — vote collusion, use of bots ## 3. How to report There is currently no dedicated "Report" button in the interface — if you see a work or comment that violates the rules, email **info@syntforge.com** with a link to the content and a short description of the issue. We review such reports as a priority. ## 4. Consequences of violations Depending on the severity of the violation: - Warning and content removal - Temporary restriction of features (publishing, voting, commenting) - Account suspension - Disqualification from a challenge, including already-announced results (see [Terms of Service](/legal/terms), §7) ## 5. Appeal If you disagree with a moderation decision, email **info@syntforge.com** and we will review it manually.
