1. How This Guide Works

This guide consolidates the ISEKAI ZERO Content Creation Policy, 18+ Tagging Guide, Smut Tag Classification Guideline and internal moderation guidelines into a single reference document for creators.

It covers everything you need to know about what you can and cannot create on the platform, how to tag your content correctly, how to structure your storylines for approval, and what happens if you break the rules.

Scope of This Policy This policy applies to content YOU directly author and control: character profiles, storyline descriptions, images, thumbnails, first messages, tags, metadata, comments, collections, and external links. You are NOT responsible for: AI-generated dialogue during gameplay, player inputs, or unexpected AI behavior. However, if you deliberately design content to circumvent policies or generate violations, that IS a policy violation.

 

2. Your Responsibilities as a Creator

As a creator, you are responsible for:

• Character profiles — names, descriptions, personality traits, backgrounds, appearance
• Storyline content — titles, descriptions, synopsis, plot summaries, premises, AI prompts, guidelines
• Cover images — storyline covers and character images/avatars (any non-hidden image)
• Hidden images — images marked as hidden in storylines or character cards
• First messages — the opening scene or message that begins a storyline
• Tags and metadata — SFW/18+ classification, SFW Only setting, age ratings, content warnings, genre tags
• Comments, collections and external links

All content must be original or properly attributed. ISEKAI ZERO does not tolerate plagiarism or copyright infringement.

 

3. Zero Tolerance Violations

All violations in this section result in immediate and permanent ban with no warnings, no second chances and no appeals. Bans extend to all official ISEKAI ZERO community platforms (including but not limited to Discord servers, Facebook groups, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter/X, and any other official channels, both current and future).

Tier 1 — Child Safety (Highest Severity)
These are the most severe violations on the platform. In addition to permanent ban, ISEKAI ZERO will report to law enforcement authorities where legally required.

3.1 Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

• Any sexualization of underage characters, including characters that appear underage regardless of stated age
• Characters in 18+ content that have underage-like features, child-like appearances, or youthful characteristics
• All characters in 18+ content must be clearly depicted as adults (18+) in both appearance and description
• "She's actually 1000 years old" does NOT work — visual appearance and mental capacity determine age classification
• Underage character in NSFW content is strictly forbidden.

Moderator Note: Characters with ambiguous or youthful appearances that are not explicitly stated as underage are handled through revision guidance — see Sections 5 and 6. Failure to address age-ambiguous characters after coaching escalates to Zero Tolerance.

 

3.2 Circumvention of Underage Protections

• Creating SFW content with underage characters while promoting or encouraging 18+ interactions with those characters on ANY platform (Discord, Reddit, social media, etc.)
• Advertising or suggesting players can engage in 18+ scenarios with underage characters
• Designing SFW storylines with underage characters intended to enable 18+ gameplay
• Discussing, sharing, or encouraging methods to bypass age restrictions or content policies
• Attempting to circumvent or disable mandated SFW Only protections

 

3.3 Grooming & Predatory Content

• Content depicting grooming dynamics where an adult cultivates a relationship with a minor with intent of future sexual or romantic involvement
• "Wait until they're 18" scenarios: where a character pursues, grooms, or maintains romantic/sexual interest in a minor with the intention of initiating a relationship once the minor reaches the age of majority
  
• Content where an authority figure (guardian, teacher, caretaker, mentor) who knew or supervised a character as a minor later pursues a sexual or romantic relationship with that character
  
• Any content that romanticizes, normalizes or portrays predatory behavior toward minors as desirable or consensual

 

Tier 2 — Zero Tolerance Content Violations
The following are also Zero Tolerance violations resulting in permanent ban.

3.4 Non-Consensual Sexual Content

The following are prohibited:

• Storylines or characters where rape, sexual assault, or violent sexual coercion is built into the premise, plot loop, or gameplay objective — designed as something the player or characters enact
• "Dubious consent" scenarios where consent is unclear or implied to be absent
• CNC (consensual non-consent) scenarios or roleplay
• Characters described as ignoring, overcoming or not understanding consent
• Fantasy or magic-based coercion for sex — slave markets, mind control, drugging, magical compulsion or any mechanism that removes or overrides consent. Removing consent through fictional means is still non-consent.
  

Note: Mentions of sexual assault in character backstories (e.g., a character who is a survivor) are not automatically a violation — context and framing matter. Content that depicts recovery, consequences or survival narratives may be permissible with appropriate content warnings. The distinction is whether sexual violence is something the story explores vs. something the story facilitates.

Revision Guidance: If your content was rejected for consent issues, you may be able to revise and resubmit. Ensure all sexual interactions are clearly consensual and freely chosen by all characters involved. Power dynamics and dark themes are not prohibited — but sexual activity within them must involve genuine consent.

 

3.5 Incest & Bestiality

• Incest — sexual content between blood-related family members (parent-child, siblings, grandparent-grandchild, aunt/uncle-niece/nephew, cousins)
  
• Bestiality — any sexual content involving animals

 

3.6 School Uniforms & High School Settings

• Storylines or characters featuring school uniforms, school settings, or visual/contextual indicators implying an underage environment (middle school, high school, secondary school) CANNOT be tagged 18+
  
• Content depicting characters in secondary school uniforms in sexual or suggestive contexts is prohibited regardless of stated age
  
• "Suggestive" includes: provocative poses, partial undressing, romantic or flirtatious framing, or imagery intended to sexualize the school setting

Exception: 18+ content set in academies, universities, or other educational institutions is permitted ONLY where all characters are clearly adults in appearance and description, the setting does not visually resemble a secondary school, and no element implies underage characters.

Academy/Institute Disguise Warning: Simply renaming a high school as an "academy" or "institute" does not make the content acceptable. Moderators evaluate the actual setting depicted — student ages, uniforms, classroom dynamics, curriculum references (e.g., "first year," "homeroom," "class 1-A") — not just the label used. Settings where final-year students are stated as 18 years old mathematically imply that junior or lower-year students are underage (17, 16, 15, etc.), making the overall setting an underage environment regardless of the institution's label. For a setting to qualify as genuinely adult, the youngest students (first-year or equivalent) must be 18 or older. Cases involving information inconsistency — where images resemble a school setting but the text uses "academy" or "institute" labels — will be carefully inspected and may be rejected.

 

3.7 Other Zero Tolerance Violations

• Non-consensual intimate imagery
• Terrorism or violent extremism
• Hate speech or discrimination based on any protected characteristic
• Content promoting self-harm or suicide
• Fake engagement and metric manipulation — including alt accounts, bot accounts, like-swapping rings, purchased engagement, or any method to artificially inflate platform metrics. The main account and ALL associated accounts will be permanently banned, all content removed, no refunds.

 

4. Prohibited Content

Beyond the items in Section 3 above, the following content is also prohibited:

4.1 Explicit Visual Content
See Section 7 (Image Rules) for the complete breakdown of what is and isn’t allowed in cover images vs hidden images. The following are prohibited in ALL images regardless of visibility:

• Exposed genitalia — always prohibited, no exceptions
• Camel toe / any defining lines on the genital region — always prohibited
  
• Depictions of sexual acts — always prohibited
  
• Real life human images, including AI-generated realistic images

 

4.2 Violent & Graphic Content

• Violent physical sexual assaults (text or imagery)
• Perpetrator-perspective descriptions of deadly or major violent events
• Inciting violence against individuals or groups
• Graphic violence, gore, torture, or disturbing scenarios whose primary purpose is to shock or disgust
• Images of corpses with massive injuries (e.g., severed limbs)
• Animal abuse content — coerced fighting, malicious mistreatment, glorifying neglect, staged “rescue” content
  

 

4.3 Harmful or Dangerous Content

• Instructions to kill, harm, make explosives, operate firearms to harm, hack, steal, or phish
• Extremely dangerous challenges or pranks
• Content endangering the emotional or physical wellbeing of underage characters
• Bypassing payment for digital content or services
• Cryptophishing — requests for cryptocurrency or wallet details as part of a phishing scheme
  

 

4.4 Suicide, Self-Harm & Eating Disorders

• Content providing specific methods, instructions, or detailed descriptions of self-harm, suicide, or disordered eating
• Content that glorifies, romanticizes, or aestheticizes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders
• Characters or storylines designed to encourage, dare, or pressure players into self-harm or disordered eating
• Pro-anorexia, pro-bulimia, or similar pro-eating-disorder content
• Suicide pacts, suicide games, or self-harm challenges
• Content that mocks or dismisses individuals struggling with mental health conditions

**Recovery narratives showing characters overcoming self-harm, educational content about mental health, depictions showing realistic consequences, mental health awareness content is acceptable.

 

4.5 Real People’s Names and Images

• Using real people’s names (especially celebrities, public figures, politicians)
• Using real people’s photos or likenesses without permission
• Creating characters based on real living individuals
• Impersonating real people through names or images

**Historical figures (deceased, public domain) and generic common names (John, Maria, etc.) not clearly referencing a specific famous person. However, content featuring historical figures must be respectful and contextually appropriate. Content that trivializes, parodies, or creates redemption arcs for figures associated with genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity (e.g., Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin) is prohibited. When in doubt, ask: would this content be considered offensive or disrespectful to the victims and communities affected by this figure's actions?

5. Underage Characters & the SFW Only Tag

5.1 Who is Considered Underage

• Any character under 18 years of age
• Any character who appears “too young” or child-like, regardless of stated age — claiming a character is “actually 1000 years old” does NOT exempt them
• Any character with the mentality of a child, regardless of stated age

Visual appearance and mental capacity determine age classification, not declared age in descriptions.

 

5.2 The SFW Only Tag
If your storyline includes ANY underage characters, you MUST enable the “SFW Only” tag.

 

What it restricts

Sexual activity ONLY. The system adds guardrails that prevent any sexual content in the chat — no explicit AI responses, no sexual image generation, and players cannot steer the conversation in a sexual direction.

 

What it does NOT restrict

Everything else. Violence, dark themes, horror, conflict, drama, emotional intensity — all still allowed. The SFW Only tag is specifically and exclusively a sexual content lock.

 

When it’s required

Any storyline where at least one character is, appears to be, or has the mentality of someone under 18. Characters with youthful appearances in SFW storylines must also have this enabled.

 

Conflict rule

A storyline CANNOT have both the SFW Only tag and the 18+ tag. That’s a conflict and will be rejected.

 

5.3 Enforcement

• Moderators have final authority to determine if a storyline requires the SFW Only setting
• Public storylines featuring underage or youthful-appearing characters will have this setting enabled during review if not already enabled
• Storylines without proper settings will be modified by moderators or removed
• Creators who repeatedly fail to enable this setting face suspension or permanent ban
• Attempting to circumvent or disable mandated SFW Only protections is a serious policy violation — zero tolerance
  

 

5.4 Additional Child Safety Rules

• Do not create content inflicting or advocating physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment of a child
• Do not expose underage characters to mature themes, simulate parental abuse, coerce underage characters or depict violence toward them
• Do not create misleading family content — content appearing suitable for children but containing sexual themes, violence, obscenity or other mature themes
• Do not create content intending to shame, deceive, insult, or harass an underage character
  

 

6. Visual Examples — Characters That Got Rejected

The following are real examples of characters submitted in 18+ stories that were rejected for appearing underage or childlike. These span different art styles, species, and approaches — none of them are explicit, but all violate the underage appearance policy when placed in 18+ content.

**Note to Creators: If you see an image here that belongs to you or one of your stories, you can DM @nikk to have it removed from this guide.

Fantasy Species Don’t Exempt Childlike Faces

 
Rejected: Despite being a fantasy “goddess” with horns, the character has a childlike face. Non-human features don’t override a youthful appearance.

 

School Uniforms + Youthful Appearance
 
Rejected: School/sailor uniform combined with youthful facial features and small frame. School uniforms inherently imply underage — doubly so when the character already looks young.

 

Childlike Proportions in Group Scenes
 
Rejected: The central seated character has clearly childlike proportions compared to the flanking adult characters. Size and body proportions matter.

Non-Human Species Still Need Adult Features
 
Rejected: Despite being a non-human character, the face and body proportions are childlike. Being a different species does not exempt a character from appearing adult.

 

Childlike Characters Across Multiple Expressions 

Rejected: Childlike face, small stature, and proportions across every expression variant. Elaborate clothing doesn’t make a child-looking character look adult.

 

Short Stature + Childlike Face = Underage Appearance 

Rejected: Despite being a goblin, the character has a childlike face, tiny proportions, and overall appearance of a small child. Species does not override visual age.

 

3D Art Style Doesn’t Change the Rules
 
Rejected: Very young-looking face and proportions. Art style (3D vs anime vs illustrated) doesn’t change the age appearance standard.

 

Hiding the Image Doesn’t Make It OK
 
Rejected: Obviously child-like appearance. Note the “Hidden” tag — hiding an underage-looking character image doesn’t make it acceptable in 18+ content. The character itself cannot be underage-looking.

 

School-Age Appearance Across Expressions 
 

Rejected: School-age appearance, childlike proportions, and youthful styling across all expression variants.

 

Body Type Doesn’t Override Facial Age 

Rejected: Despite a more developed body in some images, the character’s face consistently appears childlike. A mature body does not compensate for a childlike face — both must read as adult.

The Takeaway It doesn’t matter if the character is a goddess, a slime, a goblin, or an elf. It doesn’t matter if you use 3D, anime, or illustrated art. It doesn’t matter if you hide the image. If the character LOOKS like a child, they cannot be in 18+ content. Period. Visual appearance determines age classification. Not the description, not the species, not the stated age.

 

7. Image Rules

ISEKAI ZERO has two tiers of image rules based on visibility:

Cover vs Hidden — Know the Difference

Cover images = any image that is NOT hidden. This includes storyline covers, character card images, and any other image visible when someone browses or clicks into your content. If a user can see it without unlocking anything, it’s a cover image. 

Hidden images = images specifically marked as hidden in either your storyline or your character cards. These are only revealed during interaction and are not visible while browsing.

Functionally nude = actually nude. If clothing is so transparent, tight, or minimal that you can clearly see intimate body parts through the fabric — it’s treated as a nudity violation.

7.1 Cover Images (Any Non-Hidden Image)
These are browsable — anyone can see them. They must be clean, even for 18+-tagged content.

Prohibited in cover images:

• Exposed genitalia (illustrated, AI-generated, or photographic)
• Exposed nipples or areolas
  
• Full frontal nudity — prohibited in cover images regardless of anatomy
• Camel toe or any genital detailing through clothing
  
• Transparent, sheer, or see-through clothing revealing nudity underneath
  
• Anatomical details (nipples, areolas) visible through fabric
• Strategic covering with hands, hair, or small objects — this is still nudity, not clothing
• Explicit sexual acts or simulations
  
• Sex toys or fetish items
  
• Pornographic imagery or graphic nudity for sexual gratification
  
• Violent/gory imagery intended to shock or disgust
  
• Real life human images, including AI-generated realistic images
  
• Misleading images that don’t represent the actual content
  
• Any image deemed too explicit or inappropriate by ISEKAI ZERO at our sole discretion

Camel Toe/ANY defining genital lines = Rejection Camel toe is defined as ANY defining lines on the panties or genital region. This includes tight clothing that outlines or contours genitalia in any way — even if technically “covered.” If the clothing renders genital shapes visible, it gets rejected. This applies to ALL images (cover AND hidden). This rule applies equally to all anatomy — explicit penis outlines through clothing are treated the same as camel toe.

7.2 Hidden Images (In Storylines & Character Cards)
Hidden images have more flexibility but still have hard limits.

Will get the Smut tag
Explicit nudity (think Hustler — pornographic framing, spread poses, genital focus, graphic body-part emphasis). This imagery will cause your content to be tagged as Smut, not just 18+.

Additionally, if the majority of images in a submission are sexual and explicit, the Smut tag will be applied automatically regardless of how clean the text prompt is.

REJECTED — prohibited even in hidden images:

• Exposed genitalia — always rejected, no exceptions
  
• Camel toe / any defining lines on the genital region — always rejected
  
• Depictions of sexual acts, including:
  
• Active sex acts even if genitals are hidden or obscured
• Implied penetration (stomach bulges, internal outlines)
  
• Off-camera partners (hands, body parts from someone not in frame, implying sexual activity)
  
• Positioning that clearly depicts intercourse regardless of what’s hidden
• Explicit body fluid depictions
• Real life human images, including AI-generated realistic images
  
• Any content that would violate zero-tolerance policies

Hidden Image Summary 
Not allowed (rejected): Visible genitals, camel toe or genital outlines through fabric, depicted or implied sex acts, or penetration.

Not allowed without Smut tag: Explicit posing, pornographic framing, or graphic body-part emphasis (Hustler-style). This imagery requires the Smut tag.

Note: Stylized "Barbie" anatomy (smooth, non-detailed) does not by itself trigger any restriction.

 

7.3 18+ Character Appearance

• Characters in 18+ content must NOT have underage-like or child-like features — regardless of stated age
• Characters must visually appear as adults with mature physical characteristics
• Age ambiguity in 18+ content = rejection. If character ages aren’t clearly established as adult, your submission will be rejected.

 

7.4 Common Image Mistakes

Mistake	Placement	Remark
Hands/hair covering nudity instead of clothes	Cover	Rejected — strategic covering is nudity
Strategic covering (hands, hair, objects)	Hidden	Hidden images
Nipples visible through fabric	Cover	Rejected — anatomical details through clothing
Tight clothing with genital outline	Both	Rejected — camel toe, any defining lines
See-through clothing showing everything	Cover	Rejected — transparent fabric = nude
Nude images not marked as hidden	Cover	Rejected — must be hidden, double-check
Explicit/pornographic posing	Hidden	Smut tag or rejection
Sex toys in browsable image	Cover	Rejected
Sex acts with genitals hidden	Both	Rejected — sex act is the violation
Off-camera partner implying sex	Both	Rejected
Stomach bulge implying penetration	Both	Rejected

 

8. 18+ Tagging Guide

The Golden Rule When in doubt, tag 18+. You will NOT be penalized for caution. Under-tagging WILL cause problems.

8.1 The “Most Mature Element” Rule
Tag your ENTIRE content based on the MOST mature element. If ANY part — image, description, first message, theme — is 18+, the whole character or storyline must be tagged 18+.

• Fully clothed image but description includes “seductive encounters” → 18+
  
• Family-friendly cover but first message implies nudity → 18+
  
• Standard clothing but ahegao (orgasmic) expression → 18+
  

8.2 Quick Decision Tool

Visual content — if YES to any: 

Is it sexual? Revealing clothing? Suggestive pose? Uncomfortable to view at work? → Tag 18+

Text content — if YES to any:

Sexual themes? Sexualized descriptions? Strong profanity? Physical intimacy central? Adult situations? → Tag 18+

 

Three tests for gray areas:

• Intent Test: What’s the clear intent? “Seducing” or “intimate” → 18+
  
• Context Test: **What’s the setting? Bedroom + suggestive pose → 18+. Beach + swimwear → SFW
  
• Parent Test: Would a parent be OK with a 13-year-old seeing this? No or unsure → 18+

 

8.3 SFW vs 18+ at a Glance

✔ SFW	✘ 18+
Casual wear, professional attire, modest fantasy outfits	Lingerie, undergarments, deliberately sexualized outfits
Beachwear at a beach/pool	Beachwear in a bedroom
Standard portraits, action poses	Provocative poses, seductive expressions, “bedroom eyes”
Public spaces, adventure locations	Bedrooms/bathrooms implying intimacy
Hand-holding, blushing, innocent crushes	“Passionate embraces,” seduction, “things get heated”
“Playfully teases friends with jokes”	“Teases with suggestive comments”
Character removing a jacket casually	Character “taking off clothes”
Attractive character, no sexual language	Character described as “alluring” or “seductive”

   

8.4 Automatic 18+ Triggers
Visual
Character undressing, partial nudity with strategic covering, bedroom/intimate setting + suggestive pose, lingerie or revealing sleepwear, positions suggesting “before/after intimacy”

Text

• Keywords with romantic context: “seducing,” “intimate,” “bedroom activities,” “provocative,” “undressing,” “alluring”
• Context: wedding night scenarios, “private/alone time,” post-coital implications
  

 

8.5 18+ Tagging Requirements

• Tag SFW/18+ during creation
• Cover images must be browse-safe even for 18+ content
  
• First messages should match the 18+/SFW designation
  
• Moderators may adjust your classification — they can and will retag your content
  
• 18+ content featuring copyrighted characters or settings is strictly prohibited
  

 

8.6 Common Tagging Mistakes

“Conditional 18+” / Secret Mode
If your storyline can produce 18+ content under any condition (e.g., “only allow 18+ if the player initiates”), it STILL needs to be tagged 18+. If it CAN be 18+, it IS 18+.

Age Ambiguity in 18+ Content
If your 18+ content features characters without clearly established adult ages, it will be rejected. Don’t say “new students” without specifying they’re adults. State it clearly.

Content Focused Solely on Sexual Gratification
Storylines that exist purely for sexual gratification with no meaningful narrative will be rejected outright — not just Smut-tagged but rejected. Your content needs actual story elements.

 

9. The Smut Tag

18+ ≠ Smut 18+ means your content contains mature elements. Smut means sexual content IS the content. A dark fantasy with sex scenes is 18+. A storyline whose entire purpose is chaining together sex scenes is Smut.

9.1 When the Smut Tag Applies

• Sexual core loop — Premise/objective/progression built around sexual encounters. Narrative only bridges between sex scenes.
• Pornographic character writing — Profiles contain pre-written sex scenes as “traits,” graphic genital descriptions, arousal-focused anatomy language.
  
• Degrading creator-level framing — YOU (not a character) label characters as “fuck toy,” “breeding hole,” etc.
  
• Kink-dominant profiles — Kink sections longer/more detailed than personality + backstory + motivations + goals combined.
  
• Interchangeable sexual partners — Multiple characters distinguished only by the sexual experiences they offer.
  
• Sex-scene sequencing — Chain of escalating sexual encounters with thin narrative bridges.
  
• Pre-written explicit content — Opening scenes or dialogues already contain graphic sexual acts.
  
• Explicit (Hustler-style) hidden images — Pornographic framing, spread poses, genital focus in nude images.
  

9.2 What is NOT Smut

• Stories with dark/mature themes where sex exists within a larger narrative
  
• Having an 18+ tag alone
  
• Listing sexual preferences using directive language
  
• Sexual content gated behind relationship progression or narrative milestones
  
• Worlds with sexual dynamics alongside political, social, cultural, and survival systems
  
• High heat level with equivalent or greater investment in worldbuilding and character

9.3 Storyline Smut Indicators

Category	Smut Indicators
Plot Architecture	Sex IS the objective, sex as reward system, sex as game mechanic, sex as conflict resolution
Narrative Structure	Every scene funnels to sex, pre-scripted sexual events, no non-sexual stakes, escalation only through sexual intensity
Worldbuilding	World exists to enable sex, lore is kink delivery, no depth beyond sexual dynamics
AI Guidelines	Majority about writing sex scenes, high heat with no pacing, sexual formatting rules with no narrative equivalent

9.4 Grey Area Checklist

Test	Question	Smut Indicator
Removal	Remove all sex — is there still a story?	No story remains
Language	Directive (“enjoys”) or narrated (“she screams”)?	Narrated porn in profiles
Proportion	Sex more detailed than non-sex?	Sex outweighs narrative
Character	Distinguishable without kinks?	Only distinguishable by kinks
Mechanic	Non-sexual progression path?	Removing sex breaks the loop
Description	Intros or sexual ads?	Body-part fixation
Structure	Escalating sex scenes?	Scene → scene → scene with bridges

 

Combined Evaluation Characters and story are evaluated together. 

• Smut characters + Clean story + Clean images = Smut. 
  
• Clean characters + Smut story + Clean images = Smut. 
  
• Clean characters + Clean story + Smut images = Smut. 
• Clean characters + Clean story + Clean images ≠ Smut. 

If the majority of images in a submission are sexual and explicit, the Smut tag will be applied automatically regardless of how clean the text prompt is.

ISEKAI ZERO reserves the final right to apply the Smut tag. Tagging decisions are at the moderation team’s discretion.

10. Content Quality 

One of the most common rejection messages:
"Insufficient content quality. There is not enough information for the AI to navigate and narrate this story properly. You need to add more data to the Plot Prompts to tell the AI what the story is and utilize the Prompt Guidelines to tell the AI how to tell the story."

10.1 The Real Requirement: Sufficient Detail
Submissions are not rejected for using Basic Mode. Submissions are rejected when they don't give the AI enough to work with. A short, low-effort plot field — regardless of which mode it's written in — will not pass review.
If your story can be written sufficiently in Basic Mode, that's fine. Some stories cannot. 

10.2 What Advanced Mode Offers
Advanced Mode splits the single Plot field into separate fields, giving you more space and structure to provide the AI with what it needs:

• Plot (User-facing) — What the player sees. Your storyline description and premise.
  
• Prompt Plot (AI-facing) — What the AI reads. Tells the AI WHAT the story is — full context, world rules, character behaviors, plot structure.
  
• Prompt Guideline — Tells the AI HOW to tell the story — tone, pacing, writing style, narrative approach.
  
• AI Reminder — Reinforces key details the AI should remember throughout the chat.

When you activate Advanced Mode, whatever you've written in the Plot field automatically duplicates into both the User and AI fields as a starting point. You are expected to expand the AI-facing version with the additional context the AI needs.

 

10.3 Plot vs Guideline

Field	Purpose
Prompt Plot (AI)	Tells the AI WHAT the story is — the world, characters, events, rules, plot structure
Prompt Guideline	Tells the AI HOW to tell the story — tone, pacing, writing style, what to emphasize, what to avoid

Think of it this way: The AI Plot is the script. The Guideline is the director's notes.

 

10.4 Other Quality Requirements

• Content must be written in ONE language only (matching the language setting). Exception: character names and occasional flavor words.
  
• Plot summary should be a concise overview (display only — the AI doesn't read it).
  
• First messages must clearly set up the opening scene and match the 18+/SFW designation.
  
• Character names must be consistent across all fields (title, description, first messages, persona list).
  
• Characters must have images that relate to their descriptions and are consistent across variants.
  
• Critical character traits must be in the main Description field, not just the Description Summary (the AI doesn't read the summary).
  
• Character List is for AI-controlled NPCs. Persona List is for player character options. Don't confuse them.
  
• Grammar must be comprehensible. It doesn't have to be perfect, but incomprehensible content will be rejected.

 

11. Spam, Plagiarism & Deceptive Practices

11.1 Spam

• Character/Storyline spam — excessively posted, repetitive, or untargeted content
• Misleading thumbnails or metadata
• Incentivization spam — selling or artificially boosting engagement metrics
  
• Comments spam, repetitive comments, scams
  

11.2 Plagiarism

Prohibited

• Directly copying character profiles, descriptions, or storylines from other creators
  
• Using substantial portions of another creator’s work without permission
  
• Republishing others’ content as your own, even with name changes or small edits
  

Allowed

• Content you create yourself from your own imagination
• Content inspired by genres, tropes, or themes (not specific copyrighted works)
  
• Transformative works with substantial original creative elements
  
• Content with explicit permission or proper licensing

Important: “I changed the name” does NOT protect against claims. There is NO “safe percentage” for copying. First offense: removed + warning. Pattern: suspension + 90-day monetization loss. Severe: permanent ban.

 

12. Fan Fiction & Copyright

Fan fiction and inspired works are ALLOWED on the platform. However, they have different monetization and tagging rules.

Fan fiction is NOT a rejection reason. Content is never rejected solely for being fan-made. Monetization status is separate from approval. Demonetization is NOT rejection or punishment — it protects the platform from copyright claims.

 

12.1 Copyrighted Content Restrictions
Copyrighted content cannot be monetized OR tagged 18+. If your story features copyrighted characters, materials, or IPs, it cannot earn revenue and cannot be published as 18+ content. This applies regardless of how the copyrighted elements are used — even with name changes or AI-generated lookalike images.

 

12.2 Monetization Rules
DEMONETIZED (no profit sharing) if ANY of the following:

• Text uses copyrighted character names, location names, organization names, or unique terminology
  
• Images contain official character art, recognizable copyrighted designs (even if renamed), copyrighted logos, or screenshots
  
• AI-generated images that are 90%+ similar to a copyrighted character

 

MONETIZABLE (profit sharing allowed) if ALL of the following:

• Not copyrighted character, location, or organization names
  
• Not copyrighted unique terminology
  
• Not copyrighted character images, logos, or symbols
  
• All elements are original or sufficiently transformative

12.3 The Recognition Test

If you removed context, could someone identify the exact copyrighted work?

• YES → Demonetize. 
  
• NO → Monetizable.

 

Would the IP holder recognize their property?

• YES → Demonetize. 
  
• NO → Monetizable.

12.5 Disputing Your Monetization Status

If your story is not monetized and you believe it should be:

• Step 1: Resubmit your story through Moderation and add a note in the changelog requesting that it be reviewed for monetization.
  
• Step 2: If it still doesn’t get monetized after re-review, file a ticket on the ISEKAI ZERO Discord server for further assistance.

Creators can also revise demonetized content to make it monetizable by removing all copyrighted elements.

 

12.6 Sensitive IP

Some licensed properties require special handling. Content featuring characters, settings, or materials from certain third-party properties may be rejected entirely rather than demonetized. When in doubt, create original content.

 

13. Other Content Policies

13.1 Hate Speech & Discrimination
Do not create content promoting hatred or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, age, or any other protected characteristic.

This includes slurs, conspiracy theories targeting groups, dehumanization, promoting violence, denying well-documented violent events (Holocaust denial, genocide denial), and defaming real-world royalty.

 

13.2 Cultural Sensitivity

• Do not mock or demean cultural practices; respectful exploration is encouraged
  
• Religious content must be respectful; content promoting hatred of religious groups is prohibited
  
• Political content should not incite violence; terrorism and violent extremism content is strictly prohibited
  
• Historical content should be educational, not glorifying harmful events; content glorifying war crimes or atrocities is prohibited
  

13.3 Misinformation

• No misleading census participation information or manipulated content posing serious harm
  
• No voter suppression content, false candidate eligibility claims, or incitement to interfere with democratic processes
  
• No content contradicting health authority guidance on prevention, treatment, or vaccines
• No promotion of unproven harmful treatments or denial of specific health conditions
  

 

13.4 External Links

Do not post links directing users to: pornography, malware, phishing sites, piracy, terrorist fundraising, CSAI, hate content, violence-promoting content, or election-interfering content.

This includes links to content on or off the platform that contains material violating any ISEKAI ZERO policy, including but not limited to alternate, "uncensored," or "unedited" versions of stories that have been rejected, removed, or modified during moderation review. This applies to links directing users to other content within the ISEKAI ZERO platform, not only external websites.

This is especially relevant for creators attempting to maintain NSFW versions of content that is required to be SFW Only. If your storyline contains underage characters and is tagged SFW Only, you may not link to or promote an alternate NSFW version of that content anywhere — on or off the platform.

 

13.5 Dramatized or Fictional Content

Content that impersonates real people or depicts real events without clear fictional/parody disclaimers is prohibited.

 

13.6 Age-Restricted Content

Content containing harmful acts minors could imitate, adult themes in family content, or vulgar language may be age-restricted. Age-restrict your content upon upload if intended for mature audiences.

 

14. “But I See Other Stories That Passed…”

This is one of the most common questions. You submit a storyline, it gets rejected, and then you see published content that looks similar to what you submitted — or even worse.

14.1 Policies Have Evolved
ISEKAI ZERO has grown significantly, and our content policies have evolved with it to address new challenges and protect the community better. Many stories currently published were approved under earlier versions of these rules, before certain policies existed or were strengthened.

Your submission is always reviewed under the current rules. Previously published content is not a benchmark for what is acceptable today.

14.2 Report It
If you see published content that you believe violates current policies — especially zero-tolerance violations — report it. We take all reports seriously and will review flagged content against the current guidelines.

With a large and growing library of published storylines, we rely on community reports to help identify older content that no longer meets current standards. We do not knowingly leave violating content on the platform.

Use the in-app reporting feature or email contact@isekai.world with specific details (storyline/character names, usernames, screenshots).

 

14.3 Re-Reviews Use Current Standards
Any previously published story that goes through content moderation — whether through a report, a creator edit, or any other reason — will be reviewed under the current guidelines, not the guidelines in place when it was originally approved.

 

15. Moderation & Enforcement

 

15.1 How Moderation Works

• AI Detection — **Automatic scanning of character profiles, storyline descriptions, images, and metadata
  
• Human Review — **Flagged content is reviewed by trained human moderators
  
• Context Consideration — **Moderators consider intent, context, and artistic merit
  
• Decision — **Content is approved, age-restricted, retagged, or removed
  
• Notification — **Creators are notified of moderation decisions
  

 

15.2 What Moderators Can Do

• Approve, reject, or request revisions on your content
• Change your 18+/SFW classification if it’s incorrect
  
• Enable the SFW Only / Contains Underage Character(s) setting on your behalf
  
• Apply the Smut tag based on content evaluation
  
• Demonetize content that uses copyrighted elements
  
• Content not explicitly listed in these rules may still be restricted if it is determined to compromise the safety or integrity of the platform
  

 

15.3 Reporting Content

• Use the in-app reporting feature
  
• Email: contact@isekai.world
  
• Include specific details (character/storyline names, usernames, screenshots)
  

 

15.4 Appeals Process

• Email appeal: Submit to contact@isekai.world within 30 days. Include your username and content details. Reviewed within 7 business days. Decisions are final.
• Discord ticket: File a ticket on the ISEKAI ZERO Discord server. Discord moderators are not content moderators, but they have insight into the process and can help you understand why your submission was rejected and what to change.

**Note: Appeals are NOT available for zero-tolerance violations. Don’t just resubmit the same thing and hope for a different result — understand what needs to change, fix it, and resubmit.

 

16. Consequences for Violations

Minor violation → Content removed + warning
Repeated violations → Suspension (3-30 days) + feature restrictions
Severe violations → Permanent ban + all content removed + reported to authorities if applicable

Zero Tolerance (instant permanent ban, no appeals): CSAM, grooming, underage sexualization, school uniforms in sexual contexts, non-consensual sexual content (including CNC/dubious consent), incest, bestiality, terrorism, hate speech, self-harm/suicide promotion, fake engagement

All permanent bans extend to every official ISEKAI ZERO community platform.
