Respect the Chattrspace Community

Here are some common-sense rules that will help Chattrspace be a community in which people respect each other:

  • Chattrspace is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your video stream, even if it's a video stream of yourself, don't stream it on Chattrspace. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation.
  • Don't stream videos showing bad stuff like animal abuse, drug abuse, under-age drinking and smoking, or bomb making.
  • Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone being physically humiliated, don't stream it.
  • Chattrspace is not a shock site. Don't stream gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies or similar things intended to shock or disgust.
  • Respect copyright. Only stream videos that you made or that you are authorized to use. This means don't stream videos you didn't make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations.
  • We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).
  • Things like predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people's personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Terms of Use are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from Chattrspace.
  • Everyone hates spam. Don't create misleading space descriptions or event titles in order to increase views or followers. It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including text comments.

Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don't try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around the guidelines-just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. If you'd like more details, check out our Community Guideline Tips.

We Enforce These Guidelines

Chattrspace staff review Reported video streams and snapshots 24 hours a day, seven days a week to determine whether they violate our Community Guidelines. When they do, we remove them. Sometimes a video stream or snapshot doesn't violate our Community Guidelines, but may not be appropriate for everyone. These videos may be age-restricted. Accounts are penalized for Community Guidelines violations and serious or repeated violations can lead to account termination. If your account is terminated, you won't be allowed to create any new accounts.

Community Guideline Tips

Want a little more insight into the limits and exceptions in the Community Guidelines? Here are some helpful examples and tips:

Sex and Nudity

Most nudity is not allowed, particularly if it is in a sexual context. Generally if a video stream is intended to be sexually provocative, it is less likely to be acceptable for Chattrspace. There are exceptions for some educational, documentary, scientific, and artistic content, but only if that is the sole purpose of the video stream and it is not gratuitously graphic. For example, a documentary on breast cancer would be appropriate, but streaming out of context from the documentary might not be.

Hate Speech

"Hate speech" refers to content that promotes hatred against members of a protected group. For instance, racist or sexist content may be considered hate speech. Sometimes there is a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation, but not okay to make insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality.

Shocking and Disgusting

The world is a dangerous place. Sometimes people do get hurt and it's inevitable that these events may be documented on Chattrspace. However, it's not okay to stream violent or gory content that's primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful. If a video is particularly graphic or disturbing, it should be balanced with additional context and information. For instance, including a stream from a slaughter house in a video on factory farming may be appropriate. However, streaming gruesome video of animals being slaughtered in a video may be considered gratuitous if its purpose is to shock rather than illustrate.

Dangerous Illegal Acts

While it might not seem fair to say you can't show something because of what viewers theoretically might do in response, we draw the line at content that's intended to incite violence or encourage dangerous, illegal activities that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death. This means not streaming videos on things like instructional bomb making, ninja assassin training, sniper attacks, or video streams that train terrorists. Any depictions like these should be educational or documentary and shouldn't be designed to help or encourage others to imitate them.

Children

Video streams involving children (anyone under the age of 18) are particularly sensitive. Video streams containing children should never be sexually suggestive or violent. Please be cautious when streaming something involving a child.

Copyright

When you create something original, you own the copyright for it. Likewise, when other people create content, they may have a copyright to it. As a creative community, it's essential that everyone on Chattrspace respect the copyrights of others.

Privacy

Don't stream people's personal information, including phone numbers, addresses, credit card numbers, and government IDs. We're serious about keeping our users safe and suspend accounts that violate people's privacy.

Harassment

It comes down to respect. Chattrspace is all about sharing and interacting with the community in respectful ways. If you're not sure whether a video stream or text comment you've made crosses the line, follow a simple rule of thumb: if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it on Chattrspace. And if you're looking to attack, harass, demean, or impersonate others, go elsewhere.

Impersonation

Impersonating another user by copying someone's exact channel layout, using a similar username, or posing as that person in text comments and video streams is considered harassment. If you want to keep your account, stay away from participating in any form of impersonation or harassing activity on the site.

Threats

Users shouldn't feel threatened when they're on Chattrspace. Period. Don't post threatening text comments in people's spaces.
