Vignetta Community Guidelines

Effective Date: August 22, 2025

Welcome to the Vignetta community of people who love stories! Our Community Guidelines help ensure the Vignetta platform (www.spinwit.org, the Vignetta mobile app, and related services, collectively the “Service”) remains a safe and welcoming space for everyone to discover, share, and connect through stories told via videos. These guidelines apply to all users, whether you’re watching, commenting, or uploading content, and complement our Terms of Service (www.spinwit.org/terms) and other policies.

We encourage free expression and creativity but expect all users to follow these rules to keep Vignetta a positive environment. Violations may result in content removal, account restrictions, or termination, with a system of strikes to address repeated or severe breaches. Learn more about our enforcement process at www.spinwit.org/help/troubleshooting.

Our Rules

Below are the key guidelines for content and behavior on Vignetta. Content includes videos, comments, thumbnails, playlists, and any other materials you share on the Service.

1. Respect the Community

• No Hate Speech or Harassment: Do not post content that promotes violence, hatred, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, or any other protected characteristic. Do not harass, bully, or threaten others, including through targeted insults, doxxing, or stalking.
• No Harmful or Dangerous Content: Do not share content that encourages or depicts dangerous activities, such as self-harm, extreme stunts, or illegal acts, that could lead to serious injury or harm.
• No Violent or Graphic Content: Avoid posting excessively violent, gory, or shocking content, including depictions of graphic injuries, animal cruelty, or real-world violence, unless it has clear educational or documentary value and is appropriately contextualized with warnings.

2. Respect Intellectual Property

• Only upload content you have the right to share. Do not post videos, music, images, or other materials that infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights unless you have permission or a legal right (e.g., fair use). Learn more at our Copyright Center (www.spinwit.org/copyright).
• If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed, submit a notice through our Copyright Center.

3. Keep Content Appropriate

• No Nudity or Sexual Content: Do not post pornographic material, explicit sexual content, or nudity. Content with educational, artistic, or documentary value may be allowed if appropriately labeled and age-restricted.
• No Child Endangerment: Content that exploits, endangers, or depicts harm to minors is strictly prohibited. We report such content to authorities as required by law.
• No Misleading Content: Do not share content that misleads users, such as deceptive thumbnails, titles, or tags, or content that promotes misinformation likely to cause harm (e.g., false health claims).

4. Maintain Platform Integrity

• No Spam or Scams: Avoid posting repetitive, misleading, or automated content, such as spam comments, fake engagement (e.g., buying views or likes), or phishing scams.
• No Impersonation: Do not impersonate other individuals, channels, or organizations, including through fake accounts or misleading branding.
• No Unauthorized Data Collection: Do not collect or share personal information (e.g., names, addresses, or faces) without explicit consent, including through facial recognition or other identifying technologies.

5. Comply with Laws

• All content and behavior must comply with applicable local, national, and international laws, including those related to hate speech, privacy, and illegal activities.
• Do not post content that promotes or depicts illegal activities, such as drug trafficking, terrorism, or violence.

Enforcement

We use a combination of automated systems, human review, and user reports to enforce these guidelines. If your content or behavior violates these rules, we may:

• Remove the content (e.g., videos, comments, or thumbnails).
• Issue a strike, which may restrict your ability to upload, comment, or use other features. Repeated or severe violations may lead to channel termination.
• Notify you of the action and reason, unless doing so would violate legal requirements, compromise an investigation, or cause harm to users or the Service.
• Report illegal content to authorities as required.

You can appeal strikes or content removals at www.spinwit.org/appeals if you believe they were issued in error. Learn more about our strike system at www.spinwit.org/community-guidelines/strikes.

Reporting Violations

If you see content that violates these guidelines, report it at www.spinwit.org/report. We review all reports and take action as needed to keep our community safe.

Additional Policies

Some features, like the Vignetta’s Reward Partner Program, or Vignetta Subscriptions, have additional policies. Check our Help Center (www.spinwit.org/help) for details.

Our Commitment

We’re committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and creative community. These guidelines may be updated to reflect new features, legal requirements, or community needs. Check www.spinwit.org/community-guidelines for the latest version.
