Community Help & Standards
How to use community features, what is welcome here, and what is not allowed anywhere on KpopVisage
These standards apply across chat, feed, comments, replies, whispers, direct interactions, profiles, usernames, images, uploads, links, and other community areas in addition to the Terms of Service. The examples below are not exhaustive. Moderators may remove content or act faster when safety, privacy, or wellbeing is at risk.
Using community features
How do I join a chat room?
Open Chat Rooms and select the room you want. If someone shared a direct room link with you, opening that link should take you straight into the room.
How do I post on the feed or leave a comment?
Use the feed post composer to create a post. To respond to an existing post, use the comment or reply action on that post. Posting and commenting may be limited by moderation status, safety settings, or account restrictions.
How do I whisper or message someone privately?
Tap or click the person’s name or avatar in chat and use the whisper or private message option when it is available. If you do not see the option, private messaging may not be available in that room or for that account context.
How do I share a photo, GIF, or link?
Use the media or upload action next to the message box or composer to attach supported content. To share a link, paste it into the message box or composer and submit it like a normal post or message. Shared media and links still have to follow the rules below.
How do I reply to a specific message or post?
Use the reply action on the message or post you want to answer. This keeps your response attached to the original content so other people can follow the context.
How do I add friends or accept a friend request?
Open the user’s profile and send a friend request. To manage requests and your current connections, go to Friends.
How do I mute, block, or report someone?
Open the user menu from chat, feed, comments, or the user’s profile and choose the action you want. Mute hides content for you, block limits interaction, and report sends the issue to moderation review.
How do I make my own room?
If room creation is enabled for your account, use the room creation option from chat and follow the prompts. If you do not see it, the feature may not be available to every account or in every context.
Why can’t I post, comment, or send messages right now?
Common reasons include being logged out, temporary mute, posting limits, room restrictions, network issues, rate limits, safety filters, or account moderation. If it keeps happening, contact support from Help & About.
How do I appeal a mute, suspension, or ban?
Use the support form on Help & About. Include your username, what action you saw, roughly when it happened, and any context that matters.

How enforcement works
Content we may remove immediately
  • Public contact info, unsafe personal info, or risky face-reveal content.
  • Public drama posts, callouts, rumor posts, or moderation-dispute posts.
  • Self-harm or crisis content, especially when it alarms or pressures others.
  • Spam, duplicates, copy-paste floods, or repeated low-value disruption.
  • Off-platform recruiting, unsolicited advertising, or external group invites.
  • Sexual, graphic, deceptive, or otherwise unsafe content.
Usually warning, mute, or suspension first
  • Harassment, repeated hostility, boundary-pushing, or repeated unwanted contact.
  • Repeated spam, flooding, duplicate posting, or link dumping.
  • Repeated public drama, rumor spreading, or efforts to keep conflict alive.
  • Repeated public sharing of socials, outside invites, or contact farming.
  • Repeated crisis-posting, emotional coercion, or destabilizing behavior that overwhelms public spaces.
  • Ignoring moderator instructions or repeatedly pushing against safety rules after being warned.
Behavior that can skip warnings and go straight to permanent ban
  • Sexual content involving minors, grooming, sexual coercion, or requests for explicit images.
  • Doxxing or exposing someone’s private information without permission.
  • Credible threats, blackmail, extortion, or encouraging real-world harm or self-harm.
  • Hate speech or targeted discriminatory harassment.
  • Scams, phishing, malware, account selling, or other deceptive fraud.

  • Ban evasion or using alternate accounts to avoid moderation.
  • Non-consensual intimate content, extreme graphic content, or other severe safety-risk content.
  • Accounts that admit they are below the site’s minimum age may be removed for safety and legal reasons.
Appeals and moderator review
  • Moderators may delete content without prior notice when it breaks rules or creates safety, privacy, or wellbeing risk.
  • Enforcement can include content removal, warning, mute, posting restriction, room removal, temporary suspension, or permanent ban.
  • Severity, repetition, context, prior behavior, and impact on other users all matter.
  • Not every moderation action will come with a separate public explanation.
  • If you think an action was wrong, appeal through Help & About.

Community FAQ
Can I share my socials or ask people to talk somewhere else?
Use approved profile social fields where supported. Public chat, feed, and comments are not for contact farming, outside invites, or moving users off-platform.
Can I post my face, age, or relationship status?
Personal photos may be removed for safety, especially when paired with age, school, location, contact info, or romantic or sexual attention-seeking. Do not use public areas for dating-style posts or “rate me” style attention bait.
Can I vent if I am sad or stressed?
Brief personal updates are one thing. Repeated crisis-posting, panic-dumping, self-harm language, or making other users responsible for you is not allowed.
Can I post about self-harm or suicide?
No. KpopVisage is not a crisis-support platform, and public areas cannot be used for suicide threats, self-harm threats, or crisis-management posting.
Can I make a post about another user or ongoing drama?
No. Report it and step away. Public callouts, accusation posts, “who did what” threads, unban campaigns, and gossip posts are not allowed.
Can I advertise another app, site, server, or account?
Not without approval. Unsolicited advertising, outside community invites, repeated self-promo, and external recruiting can be removed and may lead to account action.
Why was my content removed?
It likely broke a community safety rule, a privacy rule, a spam rule, a moderation rule, or was removed because it created risk for other users. Not every removal comes with a separate warning message.
What happens after I report someone?
Reports are reviewed and can lead to content removal, warning, mute, posting restriction, suspension, or ban depending on severity and history. Not every moderation action will be visible to the reporter.
