Trust & Safety

FoundryInk is a home for creators and the people who read their work. Keeping it safe is the foundation everything else is built on. This page explains what we expect, what is not allowed, how to report a problem, and how we respond.

Our commitment

We want FoundryInk to be a place where creators can publish with confidence and readers can explore without harm. We combine clear rules, reader reporting, human review, and per-community controls to protect the people who use the platform. We keep investing in this work, and these policies will evolve as we learn.

Content ratings and mature content

Creators set an age rating on their work, and mature or sensitive material is gated behind an age check rather than shown by default. Restricted issues show an age gate instead of opening directly, so readers choose to proceed. Creators are responsible for rating their work accurately. Mislabeling mature content as all-ages is a policy violation.

What is not allowed

Some content is never permitted on FoundryInk, regardless of rating:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and any sexualization of minors. We have zero tolerance. We remove it, terminate accounts, preserve evidence, and report to the relevant authorities as required by law.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery, and content that sexually exploits any person.
• Credible threats, incitement to violence, or content that promotes terrorism or serious harm.
• Harassment, bullying, and hate targeting people based on who they are.
• Illegal content and activity, including fraud and the sale of prohibited goods.
• Spam, scams, and deceptive manipulation of the platform.
• Infringing content: work you do not have the rights to publish.

When in doubt, do not post it. Borderline cases are resolved in favor of safety.

Reporting a problem

Anyone can flag content for review. A Report control sits next to Share on studios, series, and issues, and on public comments. Choose a reason and submit, and the report goes to our moderation queue. For urgent safety matters you can also email us at contact@foundryink.com.

When you report, tell us what you saw and where. You do not need an account to be heard on the most serious matters, but reporting from your account helps us follow up with you.

How we review and act

Reports are reviewed by our team. Depending on what we find, we may:

• Remove or restrict the content.
• Warn the creator or member.
• Apply graduated community sanctions (for example slowmode, posting limits, or a temporary suspension) up to a permanent ban.
• Suspend or terminate an account for severe or repeated violations.

Serious illegal content is escalated immediately and handled outside the normal queue. We act on the most harmful material first.

Community safety controls

Community rooms have their own layer of protection that studio stewards and our team can use, including trust levels for new members, slow mode, posting gates, automated keyword rules, raid protection during spikes, and an approval mode for sensitive rooms. These tools are meant to stop problems before they spread, not just clean up after them.

Protecting creators and their work

Creators own their work. We respect intellectual property and act on valid copyright and IP complaints. If you believe your work has been used without permission, contact us at contact@foundryink.com with the details and we will review it.

Account security

Sign-in is handled by a managed identity provider, and we never see your password. Use a strong, unique password, keep your email account secure, and contact us if you notice anything suspicious on your account.

Minors

FoundryInk is not intended for children under the age required in their region. Accounts found to belong to underage users may be removed. Content that targets or endangers minors is treated as a top-priority violation.

Contact
