Community Guidelines

Don’t post:

• harassment or bullying — insults aimed at someone, pile-ons, repeated unwanted contact, or encouraging others to do any of these;
• hate — attacks on people for their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or serious illness, and the symbols or slogans of hate groups;
• threats of violence, or wishing serious harm on someone.

• Nothing that sexualises minors, ever. We remove it, suspend the account, and report it to the competent authorities as the law requires.
• Nothing that encourages or explains self-harm, suicide or eating disorders. If you are struggling, please contact a local helpline or emergency services.
• Nothing that promotes terrorism or violent extremism, or praises their attacks.
• No graphic violence or gore meant to shock, and no dangerous challenges that could get someone hurt.
• No selling or promoting illegal goods or services, weapons or drugs, and no gambling with real money.

No nudity, pornography or sexually explicit content, and no sexual messages or requests. Games may have mild romance or cartoon violence; graphic sexual or violent content is not allowed.

• Don’t pretend to be another person, a brand or Flickcade, and don’t use a name or picture that misleads people about who you are.
• No spam: repetitive posts, unwanted promotion, or links that take people somewhere they didn’t expect.
• No scams, phishing, or attempts to get someone’s password, money or personal details.
• No fake activity: bought or automated plays, likes, follows, comments or reports, and no new accounts to get around a suspension or a block.

• Don’t share someone’s personal information — their address, phone number, email address, private photos or documents — without their permission.
• Don’t post pictures of people, and especially of children, that they haven’t agreed to share.

Post and publish only what you made or have permission to use. Copying someone else’s game, art, music or characters without permission isn’t allowed. Rights holders can write to support@flickcade.com; see the Terms of Service.

On top of everything above, a game on Flickcade must:

• be the game its title, description, cover and trailer show;
• suit players aged 13 and over;
• load only its own files, and data from services declared when it was submitted — no code from anywhere else, and no change to what it does except through a reviewed update;
• contain no malware or cryptocurrency mining, and nothing that tries to break out of the game or reach other games, the player’s account or their device;
• use the camera, microphone or location only for gameplay that needs it, and never record or send someone’s picture, voice or location in secret;
• collect personal data only where the game needs it, and tell players what it collects;
• not trick players — no fake buttons, fake system messages or fake prizes, and no pressure to share personal information;
• not offer gambling for real money or prizes of real value.

A moderator reviews every game and every update before players see it. A game that breaks these rules after it was approved is suspended or blocked.

The same rules apply to usernames, display names, profile pictures, bios, and studio names, handles, pictures and bios. These are checked automatically before others see them, and refused if they seem to break the rules. What gets through can still be reported, and a moderator can remove the picture or replace the names and bio with neutral ones.

If something breaks these guidelines, report it in the app (you need to be signed in):

• A game: tap Report on the game’s info panel, which shows when the game appears, choose a reason, then tap Submit report.
• A comment: press and hold the comment, then tap Report.
• A player or a studio: open their profile or studio page, tap ⋯, then Report, and choose a reason.

You can also block a player or a studio — tap ⋯ on their profile or studio page, or press and hold one of their comments. You won’t see their comments any more, and you won’t follow each other. Unblock them under Settings → Blocked accounts.

Or write to support@flickcade.com with a link or a description of what you saw — no account needed. If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.

Reports are confidential: we never tell anyone who reported them.

Moderators review reports. Depending on what they find and how serious it is, they may:

• leave the content up, if it doesn’t break the rules;
• remove a comment or a picture;
• replace a profile’s or a studio page’s names and bio with neutral ones;
• suspend a game for a time or until further notice, or block it;
• suspend an account or a studio until they lift the suspension;
• report illegal content to the authorities where the law requires it.

When a moderator acts on your account, your studio, your content or your game, we email you what was done, why, and any message from the moderator — only if your email address is confirmed; if it can’t be sent at once, we keep trying for up to 7 days. If you think we got it wrong, reply to that email or write to support@flickcade.com, and a person will look at the decision again.

Serious violations — content that sexualises minors, credible threats, other illegal content — lead to removal and suspension without warning.
