ZiphyNet is a community built by and for gamers — a place to share your posts, show off your clips, talk about the games you love, and meet people who love them too. Like any good community, it works because of the people in it and the shared understanding of how we treat each other.
These guidelines explain what's expected of everyone on ZiphyNet, what isn't allowed, and what happens when the rules are broken. They apply everywhere on the platform — posts, comments, communities, profiles, usernames, and direct messages. By using ZiphyNet, you agree to follow them.
If you only read one thing: be respectful, keep it legal, don't harm others, and don't post things that endanger anyone — especially minors. The rest of this page explains what that means in practice.
Gaming gets passionate, and healthy debate is part of the fun. But there's a line between disagreeing and being cruel. Treat other members the way you'd want to be treated.
Not allowed:
Nothing matters more to us than the safety of children. Any content that sexualizes, exploits, endangers, or grooms a minor is strictly forbidden and will result in an immediate permanent ban and a report to the appropriate authorities.
We work with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement on all child-safety issues. For full details, see our Child Safety Standards.
This is a zero-tolerance rule. There are no warnings for child-safety violations.
Everyone should feel safe here. Do not use ZiphyNet to make anyone feel unsafe or hunted.
Not allowed:
Some content causes real-world harm, and it has no place on ZiphyNet.
Not allowed:
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a local crisis line or mental-health professional. You are not alone, and support is available.
ZiphyNet is a gaming community, not an adult platform. Pornographic and sexually explicit content is not allowed, and sexual content involving minors is never tolerated under any circumstances (see Rule 2).
Not allowed:
Keep ZiphyNet genuine. Don't clutter it or use it to deceive people.
Not allowed:
Promotional and sponsored content is allowed only where clearly labeled as such.
Authenticity keeps the community trustworthy.
Not allowed:
Share what's yours, or what you have permission to share.
Not allowed:

Don't use ZiphyNet to do anything illegal, or to organize, promote, or facilitate illegal activity. This includes anything that violates the laws that apply to you or to ZiphyNet.
Our community is our best line of defense. If you see something that breaks these rules, use the Report button on any post, comment, profile, or message. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team, and child-safety reports are prioritized above all others.
Please report in good faith. Don't abuse the reporting system to harass others or flag content you simply disagree with.
We use a combination of automated content moderation (powered by Cloudflare Workers AI) and human review to enforce these guidelines. When something is reported or flagged, our team reviews it and decides on the appropriate action based on the severity of the violation and the account's history.
Depending on the situation, enforcement may include one or more of the following:
Certain violations result in an immediate permanent ban regardless of history — including child sexual exploitation, credible threats of violence, and other severe harms.
We aim to enforce these rules consistently and fairly, but we reserve the right to take action at our discretion to protect the community, including in situations not explicitly covered here.
We know moderation isn't perfect, and mistakes can happen. If you believe an enforcement action against your account or content was made in error, you can contact us at [email protected] to request a review. Please include relevant details so we can look into it properly. Note that decisions on severe violations — particularly those involving child safety — are final.
These guidelines work alongside our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Child Safety Standards. We may update them from time to time as our community grows and the needs of the platform change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
If anything here is unclear, or you want to reach us about a community concern, email [email protected]. For urgent child-safety concerns, contact [email protected] right away.
