community guidelines

The short version

• Be 18+. Be real. Be respectful.
• Adult conversation is fine. Adult content isn’t.
• If you’d feel weird showing it to a colleague, don’t stream it.

What gets you banned immediately

These get a permanent ban on first violation, with forfeiture of any token balance and pending payouts. Where required, they are also reported to law enforcement or NCMEC.

• Sexual content involving minors, in any form, real or simulated.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery (“revenge porn”) or sexual content of an identifiable person without their verified consent.
• Trafficking, escort solicitation, or coordinating illegal sex work.
• Credible threats of violence against an identifiable person or group.
• Doxxing — publishing private addresses, ID numbers, or contact details of another person without consent.
• Promotion of or recruitment for designated terrorist organizations.
• Sale of weapons, hard drugs, stolen credentials, or hacked accounts.
• Stalking, repeated targeted harassment after a clear request to stop, or coordinated brigading.
• Payment fraud — fraudulent card purchases, money laundering through self-gifting, or multi-account refund abuse.

Adult-category rules

The 18+ category on drift is for frank conversation about adult topics — dating, relationships, sexuality, kink in the abstract, lifestyle, mature comedy. To host you must be ID-verified. To watch you must confirm you’re 18+.

What you can do in 18+:

• Talk explicitly about sex, dating, body image, drugs (in an educational / personal-story sense), or any topic an adult can discuss with another adult.
• Show suggestive but fully clothed outfits (lingerie, swimsuits, club attire) where the primary intent is the conversation, not titillation.
• Discuss your own work in adult industries from a personal / professional perspective.

What you still cannot do:

• Strip, masturbate, simulate sex acts, expose breasts / genitalia / anus, or engage in erotic role-play on camera.
• Solicit sexual content or in-person sexual contact.
• Link, gift-bait, or DM viewers to off-platform sexual content (OnlyFans-style funneling). You may mention your other platforms in a profile bio; you cannot turn drift into a redirector.
• Use the category as a workaround to bypass the Content Policy in §3 of the Terms.

If you’re unsure whether a stream is allowed, default to the non-adult category. We would rather you stream than worry.

Chat & DMs

• Slurs, hate speech, and dehumanizing language directed at any protected class are removed on sight. Repeat offenders are banned.
• Suggestive flirting between consenting adults is fine. Unsolicited explicit messages, persistent unwanted attention, or threats are not.
• Don’t use DMs to send images that would violate the Content Policy in a public stream.
• Don’t use chat / DMs to share other users’ personal information without permission.

Gifts and tokens

• Gifts are a thank-you. Once sent, they’re final.
• Hosts may not demand explicit content in return for a gift. Doing so is a Content Policy violation and risks the host’s account.
• Coordinated self-gifting to launder chargebacks into payouts is fraud and ends the account.

Hosting standards

• Show your face when you go live unless the stream context clearly justifies otherwise (music performance, art screen-share, etc.). Black screens, looped video, and pretending to be live when you’re not all break the trust the audience came for.
• Title your room honestly. Don’t bait viewers with a title the stream doesn’t deliver.
• Don’t play loud copyrighted music continuously. Background ambient is fine; full DJ-set rebroadcasts are a copyright risk.
• If you have co-hosts on stage, you’re responsible for what they do.

How we enforce

Reports are reviewed by humans, usually within hours. Outcomes:

• Warning — first low-severity violation, content removed.
• Timeout — 24h to 7-day restriction on hosting, chat, or DMs.
• Suspension — account locked pending investigation; token balance frozen.
• Permanent ban — account terminated, token balance and pending payouts forfeited. Used for severe or repeat violations.

Chargeback-related suspensions are automated: two disputed payments trigger a lock (Terms §5). Appeals go to[email protected].

How to report

In-app: tap the report icon on a room, message, or profile. Off-app: email[email protected] with a link or screenshot. Include the room ID or username, the time, and a short description.

For child-safety reports we accept anonymous tips. You can also report directly toNCMEC or to your local law enforcement.

Appeals

If you think we got it wrong, reply to the moderation email or write to[email protected] with the ban reason and any context. We review every appeal at least once.
