Community Guidelines

Last updated: February 2026

These guidelines define what content is allowed on ailbum. They apply to all creations, assets, descriptions, and external links. Both human reviewers and automated systems use these criteria for validation.

Our Philosophy

ailbum is a showcase for AI-assisted creativity. We celebrate experimentation, artistic expression, and the diverse ways people use AI tools. We believe in creative freedom while maintaining a safe, respectful environment for all users.

We are not judges of artistic merit. A creation doesn't need to be "good" or polished to be on ailbum. What matters is that it was made with AI tools and doesn't violate these guidelines.

Prohibited Content

Hate & Discrimination

We do not allow content that:

• Attacks or demeans individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or veteran status
• Promotes supremacist ideologies or hate groups
• Uses slurs, dehumanizing language, or harmful stereotypes
• Denies historical atrocities or genocides

Violence & Harm

We do not allow content that:

• Depicts realistic violence against identifiable individuals
• Glorifies, incites, or instructs violence or terrorism
• Shows graphic gore, torture, or mutilation
• Promotes self-harm or suicide
• Depicts animal cruelty

Sexual Content & Exploitation

We do not allow:

• Pornography or explicit sexual content (genitalia, sexual acts)
• Sexual content involving minors (real or depicted) — zero tolerance
• Non-consensual sexual content or "deepfakes" of real people
• Content that sexualizes violence

Note: Artistic nudity and mature themes are allowed with proper nsfw content rating. The line is explicit sexual content, not nudity itself.

• Targets, harasses, or bullies specific individuals

• Constitutes fraud, phishing, or scams
• Infringes copyrights in clear bad faith

Misinformation

We do not allow content that:

• Spreads health misinformation that could cause harm
• Constitutes election interference or manipulation
• Impersonates official sources or institutions
• Is designed to deceive in ways that cause real-world harm

Technical Requirements

File Standards

• Images: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (max 20MB per file)

External Links

All external URLs must:

• Lead to safe, non-malicious destinations
• Be functional (no broken links at time of submission)
• Not redirect to prohibited content
• Not require payment to access the creation itself

Quality Standards

We reject submissions that are:

• Spam or duplicate submissions of the same creation
• Empty or placeholder content
• Screenshots of prompts without any actual output
• Automatically generated bulk submissions
• Unrelated to AI-assisted creation

Intellectual Property

What We Accept

• Original AI-generated work
• Transformative work using AI tools
• Work inspired by existing art styles (not direct copies)
• Fan art and parodies (with reasonable creative input)

What We Don't Accept

• Direct copies of copyrighted work with no transformation
• AI-generated reproductions of specific copyrighted images
• Content claiming to be by an artist when it's AI-generated mimicry
• Creations that exist solely to deceive about authorship

AI-generated content exists in evolving legal territory. We don't adjudicate copyright disputes, but we will remove content upon valid legal requests (DMCA or equivalent).

Content Ratings

Creators must accurately rate their content:

Remember: NSFW is not a loophole for prohibited content. Pornography and hate speech are banned regardless of rating.

Edge Cases & Context

Satire & Commentary

We allow political satire and social commentary, critical art that examines difficult subjects, and educational content about harmful topics. We don't allow these to be used as cover for genuine hate or harm.

Horror & Dark Art

We allow horror aesthetics and dark themes, surreal or disturbing imagery, and artistic exploration of death and fear. We don't allow gratuitous gore or content that exists solely to shock.

Historical & Documentary

We allow AI recreations of historical events, educational content about difficult history, and memorial or awareness content. We don't allow glorification of atrocities or revisionism.

Review Process

Automatic Filtering

Initial submissions pass through automated checks for:

• Known prohibited content patterns
• Malicious URLs and files
• Spam detection
• File format and size compliance

Human Review

All submissions receive human review for:

• Content guideline compliance
• Accurate content rating
• Quality standards
• Context and intent assessment

Appeals

Rejected submissions can be appealed once with additional context. Appeals are reviewed by a different moderator.

Removal

Approved content can be removed if:

• New information reveals guideline violations
• Valid legal complaints are received
• The creator requests removal
• Guidelines are updated and content no longer complies

Reporting

Users can report content they believe violates these guidelines. Reports are reviewed within 48 hours. We do not reveal reporter identities.

Updates

These guidelines evolve as AI capabilities and social norms change. Significant updates will be announced. Existing content is generally grandfathered unless it poses clear harm.
