Effective October 4, 2026.
Be decent
Comment on the story, not on a person’s body, family, or identity. Do not threaten, dogpile, or post someone else’s private information.
No sexual content involving minors
Do not write, request, or describe sexual content involving anyone under 18. Those reports are removed and the account can be closed.
Spam
Do not post ads, repeated links, or comments written to sell something. Story Vault filters some of that automatically and people can still report the rest.
Creators
Submit only work you have the right to publish. Label Mature work honestly. The studio can reject a submission and will keep the reason.
Age ratings
General and Teen stories are open. Mature stories stay behind an 18+ confirmation. Do not try to pass Mature material off as General.
Reports and repeats
Use Report on a comment or a story. Block hides that person from you. Mute hides their comments. Three upheld comment removals restrict new comments on that account. The studio can restore a comment or a story, and can close an account that keeps breaking the rules.
