Sketch.Social is built on creativity, collaboration, and mutual respect. These guidelines exist to protect that. They're not a legal document — the
Terms of Service handles that — this is just a plain-language explanation of how we expect people to treat each other and the platform.
Moderators have final say.
🎨 The Spirit of Sketch.Social
Sketch.Social is a place to create, experiment, and build on each other's ideas. When you post something publicly, you're inviting the community to engage with it — including remixing it. That's not a bug, it's the whole point.
Treat other artists' work with the same respect you'd want for your own. Be curious, be generous, and have fun.
✅ What We Encourage
- Experiment freely — Sketch.Social is low-stakes by design. There are no likes counts, follower metrics, or pressure to be "good."
- Remix respectfully — When you build on someone's work, try to make it interesting. Add something, change the direction, take it somewhere new.
- Give credit — If you're inspired by someone or use their work as a base, a mention goes a long way.
- Be kind in your interactions — Comments, DMs, and captions all reflect on you. Encourage, don't tear down.
- Report things that concern you — We can't see everything. If you spot something that shouldn't be here, use the report button.
- Be yourself — You don't have to be a professional artist. Sketches, scribbles, doodles, and experiments are all welcome.
🚫 What's Not Allowed
- Harassment and targeted abuse — No bullying, threatening, or repeatedly going after specific users. This includes in captions, DMs, or through remixes intended to mock.
- Hate speech and discrimination — Content that attacks or demeans people based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, nationality, or any protected characteristic is not welcome here.
- Sexually explicit content — Keep it SFW. Content involving minors in any sexual context results in immediate permanent ban and will be reported to authorities.
- Spam and manipulation — Don't flood the feed, create fake accounts, or attempt to game the trending system.
- Impersonation — Don't pretend to be another user, public figure, or Sketch.Social staff.
- Malware and malicious links — Don't use the platform to distribute harmful software or phishing links.
- Copyright infringement — Don't upload content you don't have rights to. Remixing other users' Sketch.Social content is encouraged; uploading copyrighted external material without permission is not.
- Violence and illegal activity — Content promoting or glorifying real-world violence, self-harm, or illegal activity is prohibited.
🔄 Remixing — The Golden Rule
Remixing is the core of Sketch.Social. When you post publicly, other users can remix your work. Here's how we expect everyone to handle it:
- Don't remix content in a way that's designed to humiliate or harass the original creator.
- Don't remix to spread misinformation (e.g., editing someone's drawing to attribute false statements to them).
- Locking a thread is your right — if you'd prefer only your followers can remix, use the Lock option when posting.
👤 Accounts & Age
You must be at least 16 years old to use Sketch.Social with parental permission, and 18 to use it independently. One account per person. Don't share accounts.
If your account is suspended or banned, creating a new one to evade the ban is a violation of our Terms of Service and may result in further action.
🛡️ Moderation & Enforcement
Our moderation team can remove content, issue warnings, apply temporary timeouts, or permanently ban accounts. We reserve the right to take action at our discretion to protect the community.
If you disagree with a moderation decision, you can contact us at support@sketch.social. We'll do our best to respond, but moderator decisions are generally final.
We are a small team and cannot monitor everything in real time — your reports help us keep the platform safe. Thank you for using them.
📝 Changes to These Guidelines
These guidelines may be updated as the platform evolves. We'll note the date of any significant changes. Continued use of Sketch.Social means acceptance of the current guidelines.
