Content Policy

Illegal content, credible threats, violent extremism, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate imagery, doxxing, targeted harassment, hate speech, self-harm encouragement, malware distribution, and commercial spam are prohibited across Dark Web.

You may not coordinate vote brigades, mass-reporting campaigns, trust farming, handle squatting, or any behavior meant to manipulate ranking, moderation, or discovery systems.

Sensitive or adult content must be correctly marked. Communities and posts flagged as sensitive may be gated behind warnings or reveal controls, and unmarked sensitive content may be removed or restricted.

Even when something is labeled sensitive, it may still be disallowed if it violates the law, platform rules, or the expectations of the community where it was posted.

Each community can add narrower rules on top of the global platform policy. If a community rule is stricter than the global baseline, moderators may enforce the stricter standard inside that space.

Community health matters. Low-signal posting, repetitive promotion, contextless rage-bait, and disruption designed to poison discussion quality may be removed even when not otherwise unlawful.

Users can report posts, comments, communities, and profiles. Reports are prioritized by severity, trust context, and urgency, and reporter identity is not shown to the reported user.

Moderators can dismiss reports, remove content, lock threads, pin posts, warn members, mute members, or ban members. Repeatedly abusive or bad-faith reporting may itself trigger enforcement.

Some cases are escalated beyond community moderators to platform administrators, especially when they involve legal risk, credible safety threats, or repeated cross-community abuse.

We may preserve moderation evidence, account metadata, and audit history when needed to investigate serious violations or to comply with legal requirements.
