What is the World Content Policy?

Imagina RPG is a platform for interactive fiction, and adult content is welcome here. This policy is not about policing ordinary NSFW stories. It draws a small number of hard lines that keep the platform legal and safe, so you know where the edges are before you publish.

It covers everything you author or upload into a world: world text, character descriptions, lore, image prompts, and uploaded images. The Terms of Service govern your use of the Service as a whole, and this policy is the detailed version of the world-content rules in them.

The spirit of the policy

Write the fiction you want to write, including dark and adult fiction, as long as it stays fiction between fictional adults and never crosses the hard lines below. When something is genuinely ambiguous, add a content warning and keep it off public-facing surfaces. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, it probably belongs on the cautious side, and you can ask us at [email protected].

Our discretion and final say

This policy cannot spell out every case in advance. Imagina keeps the final say on what is acceptable on the platform. We apply it in good faith and with the reasonable judgment of a careful steward of the service: we act as a responsible operator would, weighing the safety of our users and the integrity of the platform. Meeting the letter of a rule is not a guarantee of approval. If content is clearly built to game these rules, or is harmful in a way the wording here did not anticipate, we can still act on it, including removing it or keeping a world off public surfaces.

Hard lines: never allowed, anywhere

These prohibitions apply to all content on the platform, with no exceptions, including worlds you never publish and keep fully private. A world being private is not a shield for this material. Breaking a hard line can result in immediate removal and account termination, and where the law requires it, a report to the relevant authorities.

1. Sexual content involving minors. Any sexual or sexualized depiction of a minor is forbidden. This includes drawn, anime, or cartoon styles (loli, shota, and similar), any character described or presented as under 18, and the common dodges ("aged up", "actually a 500-year-old in a child's body", "looks young but is legal"). If the body or presentation is that of a child in a sexual context, it is not allowed. This is the most severely enforced rule on the platform. Separately, every character in every world must be 18 or older whether or not sex is involved, which is covered in its own section below.

2. Real, identifiable people. Worlds must be about original, fictional characters, not real people. Do not build a world around a real, identifiable individual, whether a public figure (celebrity, politician, athlete, streamer) or a private person (a classmate, an ex, a coworker), and do not use their name, likeness, or personal details. This applies with special force to images: never generate or upload an image depicting a real person. Using someone's real personal information to target or harass them (doxxing) is forbidden. Sexualizing a real person, or depicting real-world abuse of one, is an aggravating violation on top of this rule.

   Limited exception: a public or historical figure may appear as a non-sexual character in a fitting setting (for example a historical or political story), and clear satire or parody is fine. This exception never extends to private individuals, to any sexual or abusive portrayal, or to realistic images of a real person, all of which stay prohibited.

3. Content that pushes real-world self-harm onto the player. Fiction can portray these subjects. What is banned is a world or character built to promote, encourage, coach, or instruct the real person on the other side of the screen toward harming themselves. This includes:

   • Encouraging suicide or self-harm, or supplying methods for it, such as coaching an overdose or advising which pills to take.
   • Promoting eating disorders: pro-anorexia or pro-bulimia material ("pro-ana", "pro-mia"), thinspiration, or characters that coach starvation, purging, or dangerous weight loss as a goal.
   • Characters that pose as a real doctor, therapist, or crisis counselor in order to hand the player real medical or mental-health directives.

   A story that portrays a character struggling with these issues, including a story about recovery, is allowed with a content warning. A world or character designed to nudge the actual player into doing these things is not.

4. Real-world harm, exploitation, and illegal activity. No content that provides genuine real-world instructions for serious harm (for example weapons or explosives intended to hurt people, synthesizing illegal drugs) or that facilitates trafficking, exploitation, or abuse of real people. Villains doing bad things in a story is fiction. A working real-world how-to is not.

5. Hatred and harassment of real people. No content whose purpose is to promote real-world hatred, dehumanization, or violence against people because of who they are (race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar), or to celebrate or endorse terrorism or mass violence. A cruel or bigoted character inside a story is fiction. A world built to push that hatred at the reader as endorsement, or to harass a real person or group, is not.

Everyone is 18 or older

Every character in every world must be, and must look, 18 or older. This has no exceptions. It applies to SFW worlds and NSFW worlds, to private drafts and published ones, to text and to images, and to characters who never come near a sexual scene. There is no wholesome-story carve-out, and no minor background or side character.

What is written down does not change this. No aged-down characters, no "she's 18 but looks 12", no schoolchild framing, and no "1000-year-old in a child's body". A stated age never excuses a childlike description or a childlike image. A character who reads as a child is treated as one.

We hold this line across the whole platform rather than only inside adult scenes because a world does not stay in one place. A SFW world can be edited later, it can carry an adult-content steer for players who have adult content enabled, and a journey can be played with adult content turned on. The only promise we can actually keep is that there are no children in these stories at all.

What is allowed (adult and dark fiction)

Within the hard lines above, the platform allows a wide range of mature content:

• Explicit sexual content between consenting fictional adults, when the world is marked NSFW (see gating below).
• Violence, gore, horror, and other dark themes.
• Morally complex stories: villain protagonists, cruelty, and difficult subject matter treated as fiction.

The one boundary inside NSFW is consent, covered in the next section.

Consent in dark fiction

Dark romance and dark fiction are welcome. Captivity, obsession, rivalry, power gaps between adults, forced proximity, manipulation and emotional pressure are all fair material, and so are villains who do terrible things. What is not allowed is non-consensual sexual content: no world or scene may depict or eroticize rape or sexual assault. A story may acknowledge that such harm exists as serious background, but it must never be eroticized or be the point of the world.

The test is simple. A refusal is never overridden. If a character says no or stop, pulls away, resists, or tries to leave, that refusal holds. A sexual scene that continues past it, treats it as arousing, or is set up so the refusal cannot succeed is non-consensual, however it is worded.

These are not refusals, and you are free to write them:

• Hesitation, nerves, doubt, "I shouldn't", or being talked into it. The doubt is part of the genre.
• A character who never says yes out loud. Willingness shows in initiating, reciprocating and responding.

These do not count as willingness:

• Silence that reads as freezing, shock, fear, or dissociation.
• A character who cannot take part: asleep, unconscious, or too intoxicated to follow what is happening.
• Consent given once and treated as permanent ("you agreed yesterday, so you can't say no now"). Anyone can refuse today, whatever they said before.

When in doubt, ask whether the character is participating or enduring.

Dark devices drive the plot, not the sex. Threats, blackmail, captivity, debts and unequal power are legitimate story machinery. They can raise the stakes, trap two characters together, and fuel the conflict. They cannot be the reason sex happens. "Sleep with me or else" is coercion, not romance. A marriage, a contract, or a rank never obliges anyone to have sex, and a character in an arranged marriage keeps the right to say no.

Mechanics can heighten desire, never remove the choice. Potions, pheromones, hypnosis, curses, heat cycles and similar devices may create attraction, urgency, or lowered inhibitions. They must never take away a character's ability to think, choose, or refuse. A charm that makes someone want it is fiction you can write. One that leaves them unable to say no is non-consent, and so is a scene that carries on because they no longer can.

The player's choices belong to the player. A world must never script the player character's consent, arousal, or sexual choices, and must never tell the storyteller to push past the player's refusal, hesitation, or attempt to leave. Instructions such as "will not take no for an answer" or "she resists at first but secretly enjoys it" read as non-consent wherever they appear, including instructions the player never sees. A clean public description does not make a coercive instruction acceptable.

SFW and NSFW gating

Worlds are either SFW or NSFW.

• SFW worlds must stay safe for all audiences in their public-facing content.
• NSFW worlds may contain explicit adult content, but that content is gated: a player only sees NSFW material on an NSFW world, or when they have enabled adult content for their journey. It never leaks onto a SFW playthrough.

Set the flag honestly. A world that contains adult content must be marked NSFW. Mislabeling adult content as SFW to reach a wider audience is a policy violation in its own right.

Third-party intellectual property

Do not use characters, settings, or other material owned by someone else (for example characters from an anime, game, film, or another creator) in an NSFW world. Explicit sexual content must use original, fictional characters. This protects both the platform and the rights holders. This is separate from the hard line on real, identifiable people, which applies to every world.

In SFW worlds, non-commercial fan content that uses someone else's characters is tolerated, but you must have the right to any image you upload, and a world can still be taken down if a rights holder objects. Remixing another Imagina creator's world has its own rules, covered in Can I copy or remix someone's world?.

One limit applies to every world, SFW included: the world name and the cover image must not use trademarked names or logos. A world cannot be called by a brand, franchise, or product name, and a cover cannot show a company logo, a franchise wordmark, or other protected branding, even if the world's content is fan fiction. Name and cover are the parts of a world that show up in public browse and search, so they are held to the stricter standard.

Platform integrity

Worlds must be genuine stories, not a vector for abusing the platform:

• No jailbreaking the engine. Do not write world instructions designed to coerce the AI into producing hard-line content, to strip its safety, or to extract system prompts or other creators' hidden world content.
• No spam. Spam worlds pushed into public discovery may be removed.
• No advertising, solicitation, or links to external commercial or illegal services, and no malware, phishing, or scams.
• No impersonation of Imagina, its staff, or other creators.

Images

Cover images (title cards) are shown publicly across the site, so they are held to a stricter standard than in-gameplay images.

• Cover images (public), every world: All covers and title cards must be SFW and browse-safe, regardless of whether the world is SFW or NSFW. No exposed genitalia, no exposed nipples, and no explicit sexual acts on a cover, ever. An NSFW world's cover may be suggestive, but characters stay clothed. No real public figures. If you are wondering whether a cover is acceptable, it probably is not.
• Gallery and portrait images (in gameplay): Nudity and explicit images are fine here as long as they are marked NSFW. They never appear on the cover or in public browse, only during gameplay, and only on NSFW worlds or journeys with adult content enabled.
• All images, cover or gallery, must obey the hard lines and the 18-or-older rule above: no real, identifiable people, and every character depicted must clearly look like an adult. Images follow exactly the same age rule as text, with no separate judgement and no in-lore exemption.

Content warnings

Content warnings are optional but encouraged. If your world features heavy themes (graphic violence, sexual content, dark romance and coercive dynamics, self-harm, or other distressing subject matter), a content warning helps players choose what they play. Worlds have a dedicated content-warning field for this.

Private worlds

The hard lines in this policy apply to private worlds exactly as they apply to published ones. Keeping a world unpublished does not make prohibited content acceptable. We may review reported or flagged private content and take action on it, including removal and account consequences.

How this is enforced

1. Detection. Automated content detection and user reports surface potentially violating content to our moderators. The automated layer raises flags for review, it does not silently change or block your world on its own, and it is built to leave ordinary adult content alone.
2. Review. A human moderator reviews each flag. Ordinary adult content is dismissed. Genuine violations are actioned.
3. Action. Depending on severity, our moderators may blur or re-make a cover image, hide a story from public discovery, remove it from public listings, or delete it entirely (a deleted world's old link shows a removed-content placeholder). Accounts that repeatedly violate this policy, or that break the law, will be banned.

Moderation actions are recorded in an append-only log. Hard-line violations, especially sexual content involving minors, can skip the warning ladder and result in immediate deletion and a ban.

The moderation team holds final discretion on all classification and enforcement decisions.

Reporting

If you find content that breaks these rules, use Report on the world's page, or write to [email protected]. Reports are reviewed by a person and actioned within 24 hours. The Community Guidelines cover reporting for comments and profiles.
