Community Guidelines

Last updated

Cube Cooperative is one shared cube. While you hold a section it's yours and nobody else can touch it, but everyone can see it. These guidelines cover what can't go on the cube and what we do when it does. They're part of our Terms of Service.

Moderation here is hands-off. We don't rule on taste and we don't settle arguments between neighbors. We act when a rule is clearly broken.

Sales are final. A reset, a removed section or a ban doesn't come with a refund, and credits you used don't come back.

1. Inappropriate content

1.1 Zero-tolerance content

None of this is allowed anywhere on the cube:

Consequences: The section is reset. For serious or repeated violations the sections are removed and the account is banned. Content that sexualizes minors is also reported to the authorities.

1.2 Suggestive content

Content with sexual undertones that stops short of explicit is allowed and won't get your account in trouble.

2. Copyrighted works

Don't paint copyrighted works you don't have the rights to. Characters, artwork, photos and logos that belong to someone else all count.

Copying isn't against the rules by itself. Your own work, work you have permission to use, and work in the public domain are fine.

Consequences: The painting is removed. Repeat infringers are banned.

If someone painted your copyrighted work, file a notice with the copyright form. Section 11 of the Terms covers the process.

3. Harassment and neighbors

You can't paint over anyone else's section and they can't paint over yours, so most disputes between neighbors aren't ours to settle.

3.1 What's allowed

Competing for space is how the cube works.

3.2 What's not allowed

Using your sections to go after another person. That includes insults or arrows aimed at a neighbor's painting, and paintings made to look like someone else painted them.

Consequences: The section is reset. Repeat it and the account is banned.

4. Bots, exploits and extra accounts

Consequences: Ban.

5. Reporting

If you see a painting that breaks these rules, click the section in the cube and hit Report. You don't need an account. For copyrighted works, use the copyright form. If the section is released before we get to your report, we still see the painting, and the account behind it can still be closed.
