Starbloom Streaming Community Guidelines (SFW)

1. Introduction and Purpose

Starbloom Streaming Inc. (“Starbloom”) is committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and creative community for all users. These Community Guidelines (“Guidelines”) establish the standards of conduct and content that apply to the SFW portion of the Starbloom platform.

These Guidelines govern all SFW content across three content tiers: General (13+), Mature (16+), and Adult SFW (18+). They apply to all content formats available on the platform, including livestreams, short-form video, long-form video, VODs, text chat, comments, direct messages, user profiles, bios, and image uploads.

++The NSFW Section of the Starbloom platform is governed by a separate set of content policies and is not addressed in these Guidelines. See the NSFW Section Community Guidelines.++

These Guidelines are incorporated by reference into the Starbloom Terms of Service (Section 16.1) and form part of the binding agreement between each user and Starbloom. All users are required to comply with these Guidelines as a condition of accessing and using the platform.

Violations of these Guidelines may result in content removal, account restrictions, temporary suspension, or permanent account termination, as described in Section 10 of these Guidelines.

Starbloom reserves the right to update these Guidelines at any time. Material changes will be communicated to users in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Terms of Service (Section 1). Continued use of the platform following the effective date of any revised Guidelines constitutes acceptance of those revisions.

2. Content Tier System

2.1 Overview. Starbloom organizes SFW content into three tiers based on audience age and content intensity. Creators and Viewer Account holders who upload content are responsible for correctly classifying every piece of content they publish into the appropriate tier. Misclassification constitutes a violation of these Guidelines and the Terms of Service (Section 4.2(f)). Repeated or intentional misclassification will result in escalating enforcement action as described in Section 10.

2.2 General Tier (13+). This tier is available to all registered users aged 13 and older. Content must be suitable for a broad audience, including minors. All content published in this tier is subject to full content moderation.

2.3 Mature Tier (16+). This tier is available to users aged 16 and older. The Mature Tier permits moderate language, moderate depictions of violence, and discussion of sensitive themes with appropriate context. All content published in this tier is subject to full content moderation.

2.4 Adult SFW Tier (18+). This tier is available to users aged 18 and older. The Adult SFW Tier permits strong language, graphic violence in context, controversial or politically sensitive material, and certain categories of partial nudity as defined in Section 5.4. Sexually explicit or NSFW content is not permitted in this tier; such content is restricted exclusively to the NSFW Section, which is governed by the NSFW Section Community Guidelines. Content in this tier is subject to limited moderation focused on legal compliance and enforcement of these Guidelines.

6. Livestream-Specific Rules

The following rules apply to all livestream broadcasts on the Starbloom platform, in addition to all other provisions of these Guidelines.

  • 6.1 Continuous Tier Compliance. Content must comply with the applicable tier classification at all times during a broadcast. A momentary lapse does not excuse a violation; streamers must take immediate corrective action if content deviates from the selected tier.
  • 6.2 Responsibility for Guests and Participants. Streamers are responsible for the conduct of all on-screen guests, co-streamers, and other participants appearing in their broadcast. A guest’s violation of these Guidelines may result in enforcement action against the hosting channel.
  • 6.3 Chat Moderation. Streamers must actively moderate their chat or appoint moderators to enforce these Guidelines within the chat environment. Persistent, unmoderated violations in chat may result in enforcement action against the channel.
  • 6.4 Content Warnings. Streamers must provide a clear content warning before transitioning into sensitive themes during a broadcast, giving viewers adequate notice to disengage if they choose.
  • 6.5 Raids and Hosts. The receiving streamer is not responsible for the conduct of a raiding community upon arrival. However, if persistent violations originate from a specific raiding channel on a recurring basis, Starbloom may take enforcement action against the raiding channel.
  • 6.6 IRL Streaming. Streamers broadcasting in real-world settings must respect bystander privacy, must not stream in locations where recording is prohibited by law or posted policy, and must not interfere with emergency services or law enforcement operations.
  • 6.7 Co-Streaming and Multi-Creator Broadcasts. When multiple creators participate in a single broadcast, the stream must be classified according to its most restrictive content. All participants are bound by the tier under which the stream is broadcast.

7. Chat, Messaging, and Community Features

7.1 Stream Chat and Comments. Stream chat and comment posts are subject to the same content tier as the associated stream or content. Users participating in chat or comments must comply with all applicable tier-specific rules set forth in Section 5, the universally prohibited content rules in Section 3, and the conduct standards in Section 4.

7.2 Direct Messages. All universal prohibitions set forth in Section 3 and all conduct standards set forth in Section 4 apply to direct messages. Unsolicited sexual content or intimate imagery sent through direct messages is prohibited regardless of the content tier of either user’s account. Violations of this provision may result in immediate enforcement action, including account suspension or permanent ban.

7.3 User Profiles, Bios, and Display Names. User profiles, bios, and display names are visible across the platform to all users, including minors. All such content must comply with General (13+) tier standards at all times. Content that would be permissible only in the Mature (16+) or Adult SFW (18+) tiers may not appear in any profile field, bio, or display name.

7.4 Custom Emotes and Stickers. All custom emotes and stickers are subject to review by Starbloom prior to approval. Emotes and stickers must conform to the content tier in which they are displayed. Emotes and stickers that are visible platform-wide, including in cross-tier contexts such as search results and recommendation surfaces, must meet General (13+) tier standards. Starbloom reserves the right to reject or remove any emote or sticker that violates these Guidelines.

8. AI-Generated and Synthetic Content

8.1 Mandatory Labeling. All AI-generated or AI-assisted content published on Starbloom must be labeled as such using Starbloom’s designated disclosure tools. This obligation applies to every content format, including livestreams, short-form video, long-form video, VODs, text chat, comments, user profiles, bios, and image uploads. No exceptions are granted based on content tier or the degree of AI involvement in the creation process.

8.2 Deepfakes and Synthetic Likenesses. AI-generated voices, faces, or likenesses of real persons require documented consent from the depicted individual before publication on the platform. Use of a real person’s likeness through AI-generated or digitally synthesized means without such documented consent is prohibited and may result in immediate content removal and enforcement action under Section 10.

8.3 Deceptive Synthetic Media. AI-generated content presented as authentic real-world footage with intent to deceive constitutes a violation of the misinformation policy set forth in Section 4.4 of these Guidelines. This prohibition applies regardless of content tier, format, or subject matter.

8.4 Tier Classification Obligations. The method by which content is created does not alter the creator’s obligation to classify that content into the correct tier. AI-generated content remains subject to all tier-specific content rules described in Section 5, all universally prohibited content rules in Section 3, and all conduct standards in Section 4. A piece of content that would violate these Guidelines if produced by conventional means is equally prohibited when produced through AI or synthetic generation.

9. Advertising, Sponsorships, and Paid Promotions

9.1 Disclosure Obligations. All paid partnerships, sponsorships, affiliate links, and gifted products must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed at the point of promotion. Disclosures must be consistent with the FTC Endorsement Guides and applicable international equivalents. Creators must use Starbloom’s built-in sponsorship disclosure tools where available.

Transparency reporting for EU operations is published in accordance with applicable DSA obligations.

12.2 Protection of Minors (EU).
