Riluno community guidelines
In effect from 29 August 2026. These rules apply to every video, caption, and comment on Riluno. They are enforced by an automated screen on every upload and by human reviewers, and they are written to match what that screen actually measures — there are no rules here that nothing checks, and nothing is checked that is not written here.
How to read these rules
Rules fall into three groups. Never permitted means no context makes it acceptable. Not permitted means it is refused and you may contest the refusal. Depends on context means a person decides, and borderline material is held for that person rather than published while the question is open.
Never permitted
- Child sexual abuse and exploitation. Any sexualisation of a person under 18, grooming, sextortion, trafficking, or solicitation. See the child safety standards. Material assessed in this category is quarantined permanently: it cannot be appealed and no route returns it to publication.
- Intimate images shared without consent. Sexual or intimate imagery of an identifiable person published without their agreement, including material created or altered to appear so. Treated identically to the above.
Not permitted
- Sexually explicit content. Riluno is not a platform for pornography.
- Real-world violence and gore. Graphic injury, death, or cruelty presented for its own sake.
- Promotion of self-harm. Content encouraging suicide, self-injury, or disordered eating, or presenting them as desirable. Describing your own experience is not this; instructing or encouraging someone else is.
- Hate and harassment. Attacking a person or group for who they are, or targeting an individual for abuse, threats, or pile-ons.
- Dangerous acts presented as entertainment. Stunts, challenges, or instructions likely to seriously injure whoever imitates them.
- Illegal goods and services. Sale or sourcing of drugs, weapons, stolen credentials, or other unlawful goods.
- Fraud and spam. Scams, impersonation for gain, engagement manipulation, and repetitive posting of the same material.
- Exposure of personal data. Publishing another person's identifying details — address, phone number, documents — without their consent.
- Material you have no right to publish. See the copyright policy, which sets out how to report an infringement and how to contest a removal.
Depends on context
- Suggestive but not explicit content. Judged on presentation and apparent intent rather than on any single frame.
- Violence, harm, or danger shown to inform. Journalism, documentary, medical, and educational material is treated differently from the same imagery presented as spectacle. That context has to be apparent from the video itself; a reviewer cannot assume it.
What is checked, and how
Every upload is screened automatically before it can be published, across what is seen, what is heard, what is spoken, text shown on screen, and the caption and topic you write. Nothing publishes on a clean automated result alone: a person must also approve it, and that approval is bound to the exact file reviewed.
The screen is deliberately cautious. If it cannot see enough of a video, cannot interpret what it saw, or does not finish, the video is held for a person rather than released. A quiet result is not treated as a safe one.
Automated screening is not a judgement about you. It decides what a person looks at and in what order; it does not decide alone what stays up.
Reporting something
Anyone can report a video or a comment, with or without an account, in the app and on the website. Reporting is a right under Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act, not a member benefit. Reports never remove anything by themselves — no number of reports changes what is visible, because that would make removal a vote.
