Community Guidelines

Dyva+ is built on the principle that every person deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. This is the foundation of our community.

• Treat all users with courtesy, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
• Do not create AI characters or content designed to demean, degrade, or dehumanize any individual or group.
• Constructive disagreement is welcome; personal attacks are not. Criticize ideas, not people.

Harassment and bullying have no place on Dyva+. We take reports of targeted abuse seriously and act swiftly to protect users.

• No targeted abuse. Do not direct unwanted, aggressive, or threatening behavior toward any user. This includes persistent negative interactions, unwanted contact, and intimidation.
• No coordinated campaigns. Organizing or participating in coordinated efforts to harass, dogpile, or brigade against specific users is strictly prohibited.
• No bullying characters. Do not create AI characters designed to mock, ridicule, or target specific individuals. This includes characters that impersonate someone for the purpose of humiliation.

Content that attacks, demeans, or incites hatred against people based on protected characteristics is strictly prohibited.

• Protected characteristics. Race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, and caste are all protected. This list is not exhaustive.
• No slurs or derogatory language. Using hateful slurs, derogatory terms, or coded language intended to demean groups of people is not allowed, whether in usernames, character names, descriptions, or conversations.
• No discriminatory characters. Do not create AI characters that promote supremacist ideologies, spread propaganda against protected groups, or reinforce harmful stereotypes.

Any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors is strictly prohibited. This is a zero-tolerance policy. Violations result in immediate and permanent account termination and referral to law enforcement, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

• No CSAM. Child sexual abuse material of any kind — real, AI-generated, illustrated, or text-based — is prohibited.
• No sexualized characters depicting minors. Do not create AI characters that depict, describe, or role-play as minors in sexual or romantic scenarios. This applies regardless of whether the character is described as fictional.
• No grooming behavior. Content or characters designed to normalize sexual contact with minors, groom children, or lower the inhibitions of minors is strictly prohibited.
• Proactive detection. We employ automated systems to proactively detect and remove child exploitation content. We do not wait for reports to act.

Do not use Dyva+ to threaten, promote, or glorify violence against real people, groups, or organizations.

• No credible threats. Direct or implied threats of violence against any person or group are prohibited. We report credible threats to law enforcement.
• No glorification of violence. Do not create content that celebrates, praises, or encourages real-world violence, mass casualties, or violent acts against individuals.
• No terrorism or extremism. Content that promotes, supports, or recruits for terrorist organizations or violent extremist ideologies is strictly prohibited and results in immediate permanent ban.
• No dangerous instructions. Do not create AI characters that provide instructions for creating weapons, explosives, chemical agents, or other materials intended to cause harm.

Content that promotes, glorifies, or provides instructions for self-harm or suicide is not allowed. We prioritize the well-being of our users above all else.

• No encouragement. Do not create content or characters that encourage, instruct, or dare users to harm themselves in any way.
• No glorification. Do not romanticize, celebrate, or present self-harm or suicide as a valid solution to problems. This includes aestheticizing or trivializing self-destructive behavior.
• No graphic descriptions. Detailed descriptions of methods of self-harm or suicide are prohibited, even in fictional contexts.
• Supportive content is permitted. Discussions about mental health, recovery journeys, and support-seeking are welcomed. Characters designed to provide emotional support and direct users to professional resources are encouraged — as long as they do not replace professional care.

Do not create accounts or AI characters that misleadingly impersonate real people or official entities.

• No deceptive impersonation. Creating characters that present themselves as real people — celebrities, public figures, or private individuals — in a way that could mislead users into believing they are interacting with the real person is prohibited.
• Parody is permitted with labeling. Clearly labeled parody, satire, or fan-fiction characters are allowed, provided they are unmistakably marked as fictional and not intended to deceive.
• No impersonating Dyva+. Do not create characters or accounts that impersonate Dyva+ staff, official Dyva+ bots, or claim to represent Dyva+ in any capacity.
• No identity fraud. Do not create accounts using another person's name, likeness, or identity for the purpose of deception or harm.

Keep the platform authentic and useful. Do not engage in behaviors that undermine the integrity of the community.

• No spam. Do not flood the marketplace with low-quality, duplicate, or meaningless characters. Do not use automated tools to mass-create accounts or content.
• No fake engagement. Artificially inflating likes, reviews, conversations, or other metrics through fake accounts, bots, click farms, or paid services is prohibited.
• No scams or phishing. Do not use Dyva+ to run scams, phishing schemes, or fraudulent operations targeting users or third parties.
• No misinformation. Do not create AI characters designed to spread false information about health, safety, elections, or other topics where misinformation could cause real-world harm.

Respect the intellectual property rights of others. Create original work and give credit where it is due.

• Respect copyright. Do not use copyrighted material (text, images, audio, or video) in your characters or content without proper authorization or a valid fair use basis.
• No plagiarism. Do not copy other creators' character configurations, descriptions, or personality prompts. Create original work.
• Fair use. Parody, commentary, education, and transformative use may be permitted under fair use principles. However, the burden of establishing fair use rests with the creator. When in doubt, create original content.
• DMCA compliance. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe your copyrighted work has been infringed, file a notice under our DMCA & Copyright Policy.

Respect the privacy of others. Everyone has the right to control their personal information.

• No sharing personal information. Do not share another person's real name, address, phone number, email, financial information, or other personally identifiable information without their explicit consent.
• No doxxing. Deliberately exposing someone's identity or personal information to cause harm, embarrassment, or harassment is a serious violation that results in immediate enforcement action.
• No stalking. Do not use the platform to track, monitor, or collect information about other users without their knowledge and consent.
• No data harvesting. Do not create characters designed to extract personal information from users, including names, locations, financial details, or login credentials.

Dyva+ is an AI platform. These rules address behaviors and risks unique to interacting with and creating AI characters.

• No circumventing safety systems. Do not use prompt injection, jailbreaking techniques, role-play scenarios, or any other method to circumvent our content safety filters. Attempting to bypass safety systems is a policy violation that will result in enforcement action.
• No generating harmful content. Do not attempt to use AI characters to generate content that violates these guidelines — including hate speech, CSAM, violence, or instructions for illegal activities. The fact that AI generated the content does not absolve the user who solicited it.
• No harmful dependencies. While AI characters can be entertaining and useful, they are not substitutes for human relationships, professional therapy, or medical advice. Do not create characters that encourage users to replace real-world support systems.
• Verify important information. AI characters can generate inaccurate information. Do not rely on AI-generated responses for medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions. Always verify important information with qualified professionals.

The Dyva+ Marketplace is a curated space for discovering and sharing AI characters. Creators who publish characters carry additional responsibilities.

• Quality standards. Published characters should be functional, well-configured, and provide a meaningful experience. Characters that are broken, incomplete, or clearly spam will be removed.
• Accurate descriptions. Character titles, descriptions, tags, and preview images must accurately represent the character. Do not use misleading titles or clickbait descriptions.
• Proper content labeling. Content intended for adults (18+) must be clearly labeled using our mature content flag. Unlabeled mature content will be removed.
• Fair competition. Do not engage in artificial manipulation of marketplace rankings through fake reviews, click farms, or other deceptive practices.
• Safety compliance. You are responsible for ensuring your characters comply with all Community Guidelines and our Acceptable Use Policy. Characters that violate policies may be removed, and your account may face enforcement action.

Violations of these Community Guidelines result in enforcement action proportionate to the severity of the violation. Our enforcement ladder:
