The foundation of the Lounges Community lies in trust. Content that aims to deceive, scam, spam, or defraud fellow users is strictly prohibited on Lounges.
Lounges maintains a zero-tolerance policy for spam, scams, and any deceptive practices that exploit the Lounges community. Additionally, content created with the sole purpose of redirecting users away from Lounges to other websites is not allowed.
If you come across content that violates these guidelines, please report it. Instructions on how to report violations of our Community Guidelines can be found here. Should you encounter videos or comments that warrant reporting, you can also report the entire channel.
Understanding these policies is crucial if you're planning to post content on Lounges. Avoid uploading any content that falls into the following categories:
- Video Spam: This includes content that is excessively posted, repetitive, or untargeted, and aims to lead viewers offsite, deceive them with false promises of fast money, or direct them to harmful websites.
- Misleading Metadata or Thumbnails: Using titles, thumbnails, or descriptions to mislead users into believing the content is something it is not, especially when it poses serious real-world harm risks.
- Scams: Content promoting cash gifts, "get rich quick" schemes, or pyramid schemes that involve sending money without receiving a tangible product in return.
- Incentivisation Spam: Creating content that sells engagement metrics like views, likes, and comments or encourages others to engage in "Follow4Follow" activities solely for boosting metrics.
- Comments Spam: Leaving comments with the intention of gathering personal information, misleading viewers, or engaging in any of the prohibited behaviours mentioned above. Avoid posting large amounts of identical, untargeted, or repetitive comments.
- 3rd Party Content: Live streams that infringe on someone else's content rights and remain unresolved despite repeated warnings. It's essential for channel owners to actively monitor and address any potential issues in their live streams promptly.
These guidelines apply not only to videos but also to video descriptions, comments, live streams, and any other features or products within Lounges. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and these policies also extend to external links in your content, including clickable URLs and verbal referrals to other websites.
Remember, if your content violates these policies, it may lead to the suspension of your monetisation, termination of your channel or account, or the removal of the violating content with a warning or strike. Multiple strikes within 90 days could result in the termination of your channel.
