Tappytoon Community Guidelines
The Tappytoon platform and its associated services (collectively, “Tappytoon,” “the Service,” or “the Services”) are provided by Contents First, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “the Company”). By accessing or using Tappytoon — including its website, mobile applications, and any related services — you agree to be bound by these Community Guidelines (“Guidelines”).
Tappytoon is a place where fans of stories gather to share their taste, discover new titles, and connect through the content they love.
These Guidelines apply to all User Content shared on Tappytoon. By participating in the Tappytoon community, you agree to abide by these Guidelines.

1. Code of Conduct
We ask every member of the Tappytoon community to uphold the following principles.
1.1 Mutual Respect
Every taste is valid. You are welcome to disagree with a review or recommendation, but mocking, dismissing, or attacking another person’s preferences is not. The title that feels unremarkable to you may be someone else’s favorite of all time.
1.2 Respect for Creators
On Tappytoon, “creators” means everyone who contributes content — the authors and artists behind the series, as well as members who write comments, build curated collections, or participate in any other way. This respect extends to your engagement with the characters and worlds of the story, comic, or novel (collectively the “original work”). Treat every contribution and the person behind it with the same respect you would want for your own.
1.3 Safe and Inclusive Environment
Tappytoon is for everyone. Content that promotes hatred, discrimination, or harassment based on any personal characteristic — including race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age — is not permitted and will be removed.
1.4 Protecting the Reading Experience
Spoilers shared without warning take something away from fellow readers. Whenever your content reveals key plot developments, twists, or character outcomes, use a spoiler tag. Never place spoilers in titles, thumbnails, or anywhere that is visible before a reader chooses to engage. Any content that resides outside of the story, comic, or novel (the “original work”) is not considered part of the official story (canon) and should be regarded for entertainment purposes only.
1.5 Constructive Feedback
Comments and reactions are expressions of appreciation for another person’s perspective. Lead with specifics and good faith. Disagreement is healthy; personal attacks are not. Where you see something you dislike, offer a reasoned view rather than a dismissal.
1.6 Privacy and Safety
Do not share your own or anyone else’s personal information — contact details, addresses, or any identifying data — through any part of Tappytoon. Any submitted data or content that threatens real-world safety is prohibited.
1.7 An Open Community
Tappytoon should feel welcoming to anyone arriving for the first time. Avoid in-group language or exclusive dynamics that make newcomers feel unwelcome. Use clear, accessible language, and treat every conversation as an open invitation.
1.8 Authentic Contributions
The trust that makes community-driven recommendations valuable comes from real human taste and experience. Content generated by AI tools and presented as your own opinion is not permitted. This applies to curations, reviews, and comments alike.
2. Prohibited Content
The following types of User Content may be removed without notice. Repeated or serious violations may result in account restrictions or permanent suspension.
- Hate speech — Dehumanizing language targeting any individual or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or physical appearance.
- Explicit sexual content — Graphic depictions of sexual acts; non-consensual sexual content; sexualization of minors (including grooming); solicitation of sexual services. This includes any attempt to generate or solicit such content through interactive features.
- Harassment and threats — Physical threats; sustained targeting of an individual; cyberbullying; doxxing; encouraging self-harm or suicide.
- Untagged spoilers — Revealing endings, major twists, or key character fates without a spoiler warning, especially in titles or preview text.
- Illegal and harmful activity — Copyright infringement; sharing unauthorized content links; impersonation; spam or commercial promotion; glorifying illegal substances or criminal activity; distributing malware.
- Misrepresentation — Misrepresenting User Content as official statements from the Company, original creators, or real-life individuals.
- Harmful distortion — Content that defames, insults, or depicts characters, the story, or its creator in an offensive manner that undermines the integrity of the original work.
- Infringing, copied, or duplicated content — Publishing infringing curations, reviews, or comments that have been copied from other sources or users as if they were your own genuine opinion.
3. Reporting & Moderation
Tappytoon is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for all members. The following provisions govern how violations of these Guidelines are reported and addressed.
3.1 User Reporting
Any member may submit a report regarding User Content or inappropriate postings that they believe violates these Guidelines. Reports are reviewed by Tappytoon’s moderation team, who will assess each case in light of the relevant context before determining the appropriate course of action.
3.2 Enforcement
Where a violation of these Guidelines is determined, Tappytoon reserves the right to take one or more of the following actions at its sole discretion:

- Revise, amend, or remove specific interactions or functions related to the violation.
