Platform Guidelines
How these guidelines are enforced
Please keep in mind that Snappy is a diverse community, and you may disagree with someone's point of view without violating our Platform Guidelines. That said, if you come across a page on Snappy that you believe violates our Platform Guidelines, please use our reporting tool to report it. A member of the team will review the report, and if our Platform Guidelines have been broken, the case manager will contact the creator and inform them of their violation.
This is a dedication to the artists. We understand that this is your livelihood. Our initial instinct is to educate creators so they understand why a rule was broken and how to fix it. We may take further action, such as suspending or deleting their account, if the breach is exceptionally serious or willful. We may prohibit a creator from utilizing Snappy in exceptional instances.
Snappy is for innovators who bring something new to the world. You may not post creations that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others as a creator.
You can't make false pages or collect money for services or items you don't provide. You can't, for example, make a fan page for someone else.
You cannot deceive subscribers by pretending to be or impersonating someone else by using their name, brand, or works. We'll approach satire and comedy differently since these subgenres are unique.
Bullying, harassment, and threats
Because we want Snappy to be a safe place for our many communities, we do not tolerate bullying or harassment. Simultaneously, we want individuals to be able to express themselves, be critical, and debate contentious matters.
Bullying
You cannot attempt to intimidate anyone, either directly or by using your influence over others. We treat real-life interactions and online interactions with equal seriousness when analyzing whether a line has been crossed and will take appropriate steps to stop it immediately.
Harassment
Anyone on Snappy should be able to express themselves in a way that does not threaten or cause another person discomfort or pain. We take threats of violence very seriously. Any creator or subscriber who poses a threat to the safety of an individual or a group will be removed from the site without warning. This includes stalking or inciting people to perform violent crimes, among other things.
If you are a victim of this activity and believe that your safety is in jeopardy, please contact local law authorities as well as report the behavior to us.
Hate speech
Content that promotes hate speech—such as calls for violence, exclusion, or segregation—has no place on Snappy. Major attacks against persons based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or serious medical conditions are prohibited.
18+ creations
As we strive to create a community that is inclusive and diverse, we want to take into consideration our diverse user base of different ages and sensitivities. We require that all posts on your page be appropriate for all audiences/ages. Posts with mature themes must be marked as “Subscriber Only”.
Nudity
You cannot post nude creations on Snappy of either real or fictional subjects. This means you cannot post nudity in public areas including your profile picture, banner, reward images, or “about me” section. You must never post or share nude creations of any individual under the age of 18, including yourself.
Pornography and sexual services
We do not allow pornographic material or sexual services on Snappy, which we define as “real people engaging in sexual acts such as masturbation or sexual intercourse on camera.” For further information, please consult our Content & Creation Guidelines.
Offensive and graphic creations
We review any content reported as offensive or graphic, and we have zero tolerance for the glorification of sexual violence, which includes bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., sexualized depiction of minors). This is true for illustrated, animated, or any other type of creation. Snappy reserves the right to review and remove accounts that may violate this guideline.
We also do not allow fringe sexual fetish content such as incest, necrophilia, or similar fetish creations.
People who cannot use Snappy
Because Snappy gives people financial power, we limit the types of media and projects that can be supported on the platform, as well as who can and cannot receive funds. Any creator caught in the act or convicted of making credible violent threats, conducting violent crimes, malicious doxing, orchestrating nonviolent harm (such as fraud, money laundering, or gambling), or encouraging others to do any of these things may be barred from using Snappy.
Politicians
You cannot use Snappy to fund your run for office or to fund political campaigns.
Criminal or harmful past
Any creator caught in the act or convicted of making credible violent threats, committing violent crimes, child abuse, malicious doxing, coordinating nonviolent harm (such as fraud, money laundering, or gambling), or encouraging others to do any of these activities may be banned from using Snappy.
Dangerous organizations
Regardless of the purpose or apparent intention of their Snappy page, any individual or group with a criminal history or any affiliation with violent or dangerous groups (including terrorist or cyber-terrorist organizations, organized criminal groups, and violent hate groups) cannot receive funds through Snappy.
Snappy will not be used by any creator who praises or actively supports these groups or their leaders.
Harmful and illegal activities
We do not permit the collection of funds for any damaging or unlawful activities. You cannot sponsor creations that advocate, threaten, or depict you harming yourself, other people, or any other living creature, or causing property damage. Similarly, you cannot promote unlawful activities such as property crime, illicit weapon distribution, or drug manufacturing.
Self-harm
We do not allow any page that promotes or glorifies self-harm, self-injury, suicide, dangerous “physical challenges,” or eating disorders.
If you or someone close to you might be in danger of hurting themselves, please contact local authorities or seek help immediately.
Illegal activity
We do not accept pages that solicit funds for any illegal purpose or encourage others to do so. Creators should not advocate illicit weaponry, drug manufacturing or distribution tactics, or property crime. We don't accept creations that help coordinate or incite vandalism, for example. (We do, however, accept non-destructive street art.)
Dangerous activities
We request that creators who publish potentially hazardous stunts provide a clear notice. If a post is too graphic or harmful for a wide readership, it must be labeled as “Subscriber Only.”
Spam
While it can be hard to grow a subscriber base, no one likes being spammed. Be creative and original—don’t post repetitive comments or send unwanted private messages to other members of the community.
These are some of the actions we consider to be spamming, which are prohibited on Snappy:
• Don’t create pledging schemes; don’t contact other creators to make pledge-for-pledge trade deals.
• Don’t use Snappy to release or link to malware or phishing schemes.
• Don’t make misleading posts to grow your subscriber base.
• Don’t post comments on other creators’ pages promoting your own page.
• Don’t send a large number of unsolicited private messages asking for support.
• Don’t use incorrect tagging to drive more search results.
• Don’t post multiple paid posts per day if you are a per-post creator.
When reviewing reports about spam, we will distinguish between commercial spam and friendly abuse (e.g., legitimate creators spamming other creators’ pages). If we determine the spam is friendly abuse, the account will be flagged; repeat offenses will lead to full removal of the creator or subscriber page. Commercial spamming by an account that is not a legitimate creator will be removed from Snappy.
Subscriber accounts
These standards also apply to subscribers. While we feel that creators are the best people to manage their communities, our team will occasionally check complaints regarding subscriber behavior.
We will keep the activity of one of your subscribers under evaluation confidential if you request it.
Our team carefully examines allegations of hate speech, harassment, and solicitation, and we will take action against a subscriber account if we discover that they have broken our rules.
Please keep in mind that we will not provide any information about the action we may have taken against a subscriber's account. Most importantly, if you feel threatened by a subscriber, you should always seek the assistance of your local law authorities and contact the cyber-crime section. When there is an investigation, Snappy will work closely with law enforcement.

Snappy’s role
Our goal at Snappy is to establish an environment where a single creator or business may earn money while focusing on their creativity. We will do all we reasonably can to ensure that creators may profit from their work and fan base. We aim to provide creators the tools they need to be their own boss while complying with applicable laws and regulations.
