Community Guidelines

Last updated: February 2026

Welcome to Co-Splay! We're building a safe, supportive, and creative space for cosplayers and fans. These guidelines explain what we expect from everyone in our community. They're written in plain language — no legal jargon. Think of these as the house rules. Follow them, and we'll all have a great time.

The Golden Rule

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect, kindness, and creativity are what make this community special.

What Co-Splay Is

Co-Splay is a safe-for-work (SFW) platform where cosplayers share their craft and connect with fans. This is NOT an adult content platform. We're focused on the art, the costumes, the characters, and the community.

Who Can Join

  • You must be 18 or older to create an account
  • You must be 18 or older to become a Creator
  • You must use your real identity for Creator accounts (we verify this)
  • One account per person — no duplicates

What You Can Share

  • Cosplay photos and videos (SFW only)
  • Behind-the-scenes content (costume creation, makeup tutorials, prop building)
  • Character portrayals and performances
  • Convention coverage and meetups
  • Work-in-progress shots
  • Tips, tutorials, and how-tos
  • Fan interactions and shoutouts

What You Can't Share

This is a hard line. Posting any of this will get your content removed and may get you banned:

  • Nudity or sexually explicit content
  • Content that sexualizes minors in any way
  • Hate speech, slurs, or discrimination
  • Harassment, bullying, or threats
  • Violence, gore, or graphic content
  • Illegal activity or content
  • Spam, scams, or fraud
  • Impersonation of real people (non-character)
  • Private information about others (doxxing)
  • Content you don't have rights to share

When We Say "SFW," We Mean It

Safe for work means content you'd be comfortable showing your employer, your parents, or a random stranger. If you're wondering "is this too much?" — it probably is.

Examples that ARE okay:

  • Form-fitting costumes (superhero suits, etc.)
  • Swimsuit characters (if it's the actual character design)
  • Tasteful boudoir-style photos with full coverage

Examples that ARE NOT okay:

  • Lingerie or underwear (unless it's literally the character's costume)
  • Suggestive poses designed to be sexual
  • "Implied nudity" shots
  • Content that focuses on body parts rather than the costume

When in doubt, keep it classy.

How We Handle Problems

  • We review reported content within 24 hours
  • First offense: Content removed + warning
  • Second offense: Temporary suspension
  • Third offense: Permanent ban
  • Serious violations: Immediate permanent ban (no warnings)

We don't play favorites. These rules apply to everyone equally — whether you have 10 followers or 10,000.

Money Stuff

If you're a Creator earning money on Co-Splay:

  • Deliver what you promise (don't take money and ghost)
  • Be clear about what subscribers get
  • No bait-and-switch (don't promise SFW then try to redirect elsewhere)
  • No promoting other platforms where you sell explicit content
  • Handle refund requests professionally

Being a Good Fan

If you're a subscriber supporting Creators:

  • Be respectful in messages and comments
  • No demanding content or being entitled
  • No harassment if a Creator doesn't respond immediately
  • Don't screenshot/share paid content without permission
  • Don't ask Creators for explicit content (they'll ban you, and so will we)

Reporting Problems

See something that breaks these rules? Report it.

  • Click the report button on the content
  • Tell us what's wrong
  • We'll review it within 24 hours
  • You can report anonymously

False reports are also against the rules. Don't abuse the system.

Your Privacy

We take privacy seriously:

  • Creators can block users
  • You control who messages you
  • We never share your personal info with other users
  • See our Privacy Policy for the full details

If You Get In Trouble

If we take action on your account:

  • We'll tell you why
  • You can appeal within 14 days
  • Appeals are reviewed by a different team member
  • Our decision on appeal is final

We Can Update These

These guidelines may change as the platform grows. We'll notify you of major changes. Continuing to use Co-Splay means you accept the current guidelines.

Questions?

Co-Splay exists because cosplay is awesome and cosplayers deserve a platform that respects them. Help us keep it that way. Be creative. Be kind. Be yourself.
