Community Guidelines

YouDraw is a place for simple, human, playful creativity.

Anyone can draw, comment, create galleries, join contests, and take part in the growing YouDraw archive.

To keep the community welcoming and friendly, please follow these guidelines.

1. Be respectful

Behind every Draw is a person.

You can like, dislike, joke, question, or disagree, but do it with respect.

No harassment, bullying, threats, personal attacks, or targeted abuse.

2. Keep comments constructive

Comments should add something to the community.

Encourage, react, ask questions, share thoughts, or have fun.

Do not use comments to insult people, spam, provoke, or ruin the experience for others.

3. Keep it safe for the community

Do not post Draws, comments, gallery names, or profile content that include hate speech, explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or content that targets people based on who they are.

YouDraw can be weird, funny, dark, strange, and messy, but it should not become harmful.

4. No spam or manipulation

Do not flood the platform with repeated content, fake activity, scams, links, or attempts to manipulate badges, contests, rankings, or gallery features.

The archive should grow because people are creating, not because someone is gaming the system.

5. Respect gallery rules

Gallery owners can choose how their galleries work: open, curated, invite-only, or private.

If you contribute to a gallery, respect its theme and the decisions of the gallery owner.

If a Draw is not featured, it does not mean it has no value.

6. Help keep YouDraw welcoming

YouDraw works best when people support each other.

Welcome newcomers, react to Draws you like, leave thoughtful comments, and help keep the community alive.

7. Moderation

We may remove Draws, comments, galleries, or accounts that break these guidelines.

We want moderation to be fair, but we also want YouDraw to stay open, creative, and enjoyable for everyone.
