These are the working rules for content on K.AI.DO. The Terms of Service are the legal version; this page is the practical one — what you actually need to do when you create pages, upload images, and publish. These Guidelines are part of the Terms. “I didn’t know” isn’t a defense when the rules are linked where you upload. Questions: legal@kaidohub.com — not sure if something’s allowed? Ask before publishing. Asking is always free.

The one rule behind all the others
Fiction is fiction. Reality is protected.
K.AI.DO is an adults-only platform for creative fictional content — including dark, mature, and explicit fiction between fictional adults. What’s never allowed is content that harms real people, breaks the law by existing, or tricks people about what’s real. Every rule below is that one rule applied to a specific feature.
2
Tags: tag honestly, every time
K.AI.DO is adults-only, and most of what’s here is mature — so there is no single “mature” flag. Instead, content-warning tags describe your character or world: its themes, dynamics, and kinks, as a user would encounter them where the bot actually lives.
Tag for the character, not your page. A bot that gets sexual on its chat platform carries the Sexual Content tag even if your K.AI.DO pages are perfectly tame — because the tags are how users decide whether that character is for them.
Pages ≤ tags. Whatever a visitor encounters on your K.AI.DO pages must already be covered by your tags. Pages may be milder than the tags suggest — never wilder.
Tag honestly and generously. Tags are how people avoid content, not just find it — someone filtering out a theme can only avoid it if you tagged it. When in doubt, add the tag. Nobody has ever been moderated for too many tags.
Tags don’t make banned content allowed. They organize permitted content; they don’t launder prohibited content (Section 4). Prohibited content doesn’t get a tag — it gets removed.
The real-world test: if a user who avoids a theme would feel ambushed by your character, the tag was needed.
2.1 Say what a character is — don’t perform it on the open page
A profile can be honest about what a character is into. Non-con, degradation, ownership, whatever fits the story — name it plainly in the bio or the tags. That’s what they’re for.
What doesn’t belong on the open page is a full, graphic scene that basically is the experience, not a description of it. A simple check: if someone could get the same thing from reading your profile as they would from actually talking to your character, it’s not a description anymore — it’s the content itself, sitting somewhere it shouldn’t be. (Explicit samples have a proper home: tap-to-reveal excerpts — see Section 3.)
2.2 A character needs to be a character
A submissive, an owned character, someone in service to another — that’s a legitimate character if there’s a person there: a name, a personality, something beyond the dynamic.
A page that’s just a sexual function with a name stuck on it isn’t a character, and it’s not welcome here. Same goes for names or taglines built out of slurs or degrading terms used as the whole pitch — that’s not edgy, it’s hate content wearing a costume, and it already breaks the rule in Section 4.
2.3 Caregiver dynamics and “age-play” — what’s okay, what’s not
Okay: a caregiver/little dynamic between characters who are clearly adults — written and drawn as adults, full stop. Think an adult character who is comforted, cared for, or guided by another adult. Tag it (“Caregiver / Little Dynamics”) and it’s treated like any other tag — filterable, no judgment.
Never okay: anything where a character plays, is presented as, or reads as a child or infant in a sexual or romantic context. Childlike body, childish voice or behaviour framed sexually, “I’m really 500 years old” — all of it is out. That is the version of “age-play” this platform bans, and it falls under Section 4 (sexualized minors) no matter what the bio claims.
The test is always the same: how the character reads and looks, not the number typed into a lore field.
2.4 Names are content too
Handles, display names, character and universe names follow every rule on this page — no slurs (2.2), no hate (Section 4), no real-person attacks. On top of that: nothing that impersonates K.AI.DO staff, moderation, or the platform — no “admin”, “support”, “staff”, or “kaido”-anything.
The obvious ones are blocked as you type them. Getting creative to slip past the block is not a loophole — it’s the rule break, plus an attempted evasion. A name that breaks the rules gets renamed or reclaimed and counts against your account under Section 9 like any other violation. The rename is the cleanup, not the pardon — a reclaimed name never costs you your content, but the break stays on your record.

The media standard: images, text, and audio on your pages
The formula: tease it, say it, imply it — never show it, narrate it, or play it. Every upload follows the same content rules as text — an image of something banned is as banned as text describing it. Only upload what you have rights to use, and AI-generated media follows all the same rules — the tool doesn’t change what’s permitted.
Images — three lanes
Lane 1 — Open. Public-beach rules: shirtless, bikini, lingerie, charged poses, implied nudity via steam / shadow / sheets / strategic framing. Allowed everywhere — and it’s the only lane allowed for banners, avatars, and thumbnails.
Lane 2 — Overlay. Bare butt / sideboob; implied scenes (e.g. a steam-filled shower) where nothing genital or nipple and no act is visible. Context-judged. Gallery and post images only, behind the tap-to-reveal overlay — flag the image when you upload it.
Lane 3 — Never. Visible genitals or nipples; visible sexual acts — any art style, any realism, no “it’s art” exemption. Allowed nowhere. Removal.
Banners, avatars, and thumbnails are the most-seen parts of your page — they show in browse cards and listings, so they’re Lane 1 always. Uploading a Lane 2 image “bare” because the overlay flag felt like extra work is a rule violation.
Taglines follow the same public-safe rule. They appear on browse cards and in the link preview when a public page is shared, so they’re visible to anyone, signed in or not — reference yes, explicit wording no.
Text — two lanes
Open page text (taglines, bios, lore, blog posts): reference yes, narrate no. You can say what a character is and does; the open page isn’t the place to write the scene out.
Tap-to-reveal excerpts (response examples, scene samples): genuine explicit samples are allowed here — this is the sampling booth, so users can judge how a bot actually writes. Excerpts live on the dedicated Response Examples sidebar page — see the grading rules below. Chat screenshots follow the image lanes.
Response excerpts — grade them, warn them
Every excerpt card has three parts: a grade, a context line (what the sample shows — prose style, a fight scene, aftercare), and — for Mature and Explicit — its own warning tags. Readers see the grade, the context, and the warnings before they tap to reveal.
SFW — nothing beyond what an open page could say. No warnings needed; the card simply opens.
Mature — charged, dark, or suggestive content that stops short of explicit. Flag what earns it the gate.
Explicit — graphic sexual or violent content. Flag what earns it the gate.
Grade the excerpt, not the character. An explicit bot can have SFW samples and vice versa — each card is graded on what that excerpt contains.
Excerpt warnings flag this card. They tell the reader what makes this excerpt need the gate — they don’t replace your page tags. Pages ≤ tags still applies: anything in an excerpt must already be covered by the page’s own tags.
Safe excerpts can leave warnings empty. The warning field is there for excerpts that need it — a tame sample doesn’t have to invent one.
Samples, not libraries. A handful of excerpts that show range is the point. Reposting whole chats or scenes at length is hosting content, not sampling it.
Hidden tags always win: an excerpt that hits a reader’s hidden tags stays hidden from them, collapsed to a placeholder — no matter how the card is graded.
Audio — one flag
Flirty or breathy voice lines and explicit song lyrics are allowed flagged (they sit behind tap-to-play). Moaning, sex sounds, or clips that play like a scene are not allowed anywhere.

What's prohibited, anywhere, always
The full legal list is in Terms §6. In plain terms, none of this is allowed in any text, image, audio, name, tag, or link — flagged or not:
Anything illegal by existing — content that commits a crime just by being published (CSAM, genuine threats, incitement). Fiction depicting illegal acts is not this.
Sexualized minors — real or fictional, any style, any medium. Zero tolerance. This includes “loli”, “shota”, and “lolicon/shotacon” content, and sexualizing characters who are canonically children. How a character looks and reads is what matters — not what the bio claims. A character drawn or written with childlike proportions, aesthetics, or voice in a sexual context is prohibited, even if the text states an adult age. Claimed lore-age never overrides presentation.
Real people, sexualized — no sexual or intimate content of real, identifiable people. No deepfakes. Ever.
Real people, targeted — no content built to mock, belittle, harass, defame, or impersonate a real person. Not your ex, not a streamer you dislike, not anyone.
Advocacy or instructions for real-world harm — including sexual violence, self-harm, terrorism. Dark fiction is fine (see Section 5); content telling real people to do real harm is not.
Bestiality of a sexual nature — meaning real animals or characters presented as actual, non-sapient animals. Anthropomorphic (“furry”) characters are not this: talking, thinking, person-level characters are fictional adults like any other, and their content is allowed under the normal tagging rules. The test: is the character presented as a person or as an animal?
Hate content — attacks on people for race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Doxxing — anyone’s private information, ever.
Malware, scams, spam, and advertising outside creator support links.
Posting work you didn’t make. Claiming someone else’s content as your own is theft — and so is reposting it even with credit. Credit is not permission: if you didn’t create the bot, you don’t publish it. Proven theft of another creator’s work is a permanent ban.
Ban evasion and re-uploads — removed content stays removed; suspended users stay suspended.
5
What's allowed (that people sometimes worry about)
Dark and heavy fiction — non-con themes, violence, horror, disturbing scenarios between fictional adults — when it’s clearly fictional and properly tagged. Fiction can go to dark places; the tags are how readers choose whether to follow.
Celebrity / public-figure characters — allowed only as clearly fictional, non-sexual parody or tribute. Label it as fiction, don’t deceive anyone, don’t demean the person, and understand we’ll remove it immediately if the person or their team asks. Sexual celebrity content is never allowed.
Existing-IP characters — fan characters are welcome and classified as “IP from” at creation. Rights holders can request removal at any time; that’s their right and we’ll honor it.
AI-generated content — text, images, audio — same rules as everything else.

Page visibility: know what you're actually choosing
Every page has one of three visibility states. Choose on purpose:
Private — only you can see it. Your drafts and works-in-progress live here.
URL-only — not listed in browse or search, but anyone signed in with the link can view it. This is for sharing with specific people by sending them the link. It is not private — links get forwarded. If you’d be upset by a stranger seeing it, it should be Private.
Public — visible to every signed-in, age-verified user and listed in browse/search. Public means public: screenshots exist, and you can’t un-publish something from someone else’s camera roll.
7
Downloads and linking off-site
K.AI.DO doesn’t host downloads. If you want people to download your content, link to where it lives — your own hosting, a community site, wherever you keep it.
Linking to your downloads: you set your own reuse terms on your page (the default in the Terms is personal, non-commercial use). Once someone downloads a copy from your external link, it can’t be recalled — share accordingly.
Downloading someone else’s content: respect the creator’s stated terms, don’t re-upload it as your own, and don’t sell it.
External links generally: when you follow a link off K.AI.DO — to a download, a creator’s Ko-fi, their socials — you’re on someone else’s site with someone else’s rules. We don’t control those sites and can’t vouch for them. Link only to places you genuinely control, and don’t link to anything that would break Section 4 if it were posted here directly.

Donations: support, not sales
Creators can link their Ko-fi, Patreon, etc. so people who love their work can tip them. That’s the whole idea — and it has hard edges:
Donations are voluntary, always. They support work you already enjoy. Nobody may charge for anything on K.AI.DO.
No gates, no teasers. You can’t hide “Where to Find” links, pages, downloads, or anything else behind “donate and I’ll let you see it.” And you can’t use a K.AI.DO profile as an advertisement to funnel people to paid access elsewhere. What’s on K.AI.DO is fully on K.AI.DO — free to view, for every verified adult.
What you do off-platform is yours. Your Patreon can have whatever tiers Patreon allows — but nothing on K.AI.DO can depend on them.
Donations aren’t sales. Not for copyrighted material you don’t own, not for physical goods, not for anything that makes a “tip” a transaction in a trench coat.
K.AI.DO touches no money. We don’t process it, hold it, refund it, or take responsibility for it. The donation platform’s own rules and refund policies apply to the transaction — including whether anything can be refunded. We can’t issue refunds for donations; we were never part of the payment.
Donating? Check the link first. Verify the platform is legitimate before sending anything. Suspicious link, or a creator demanding payment for access? Report it to abuse@kaidohub.com — that report is how this rule gets enforced.

Getting it wrong: how enforcement works
Honest mistakes happen — a forgotten tag, an unflagged overlay image. Intentional rule-breaking is different. Roughly, in order of severity:
We fix the tag or the flag — missing tags and missing overlay/audio flags get applied for you, with a note. No drama.
Warning — for repeated carelessness or a first deliberate breach.
Content removal — prohibited content comes down.
Suspension or termination — for serious or repeated violations. Illegal content, CSAM, proven content theft, and ban evasion skip straight here, permanently, with reports to authorities where the law requires.
Enforcement is at the operator’s discretion, in good faith, considering context and severity. Think a decision was wrong? Email legal@kaidohub.com and make your case like an adult — genuine appeals get genuine reads.

See something?
Report rule-breaking content to abuse@kaidohub.com with the page URL. Copyright claims go to dmca@kaidohub.com (process in Terms §8). Real-name reports are read by a human; we don’t act on vibes alone, but every report is read.
These guidelines exist so the good stuff — the weird, dark, beautiful, specific fiction this community makes — has a safe, legal place to live. Tag honestly, tag generously, keep fiction fictional.
