Emote Guide
At KICK, we are committed to fostering a vibrant, inclusive environment for Streamers and Viewers. Emotes are a key form of self-expression and community engagement. However, with this privilege comes the responsibility to ensure content aligns with our community values.
To maintain a positive experience for everyone, we have established the following guidelines for Emote content and usage.
Our Commitment to Safety
KICK is a Streamer-led platform that values creativity while prioritizing a safe and respectful community space. While we encourage freedom of expression, it must never justify hate speech.
To protect our community, all Emotes must comply with our Community Guidelines. Failure to follow these guidelines can harm individuals, disrupt communities, and compromise the integrity of the platform.
Expectations for Emote Creation and Use
Streamers are fully responsible for ensuring that all Emotes created by themselves and their community moderators comply with our Community Guidelines, specifically Community Guideline 11.
Offensive Emotes: Do not create or use Emotes containing illegal or inappropriate words or imagery.
The following types of content violate our Community Guidelines and are strictly prohibited:
Hate speech and extreme violence: Emotes designed to incite harm or promote hate.
Sexual or explicit imagery
Illegal content: Emotes that endorse or promote illegal activities.
Respect for Intellectual Property
Streamers must hold the necessary rights and permissions for all Emote content. Unauthorized use of another person’s intellectual property, brand, or likeness is prohibited and may result in legal action or takedown requests. KICK reserves the right to remove this content at its discretion.
Examples of prohibited content without explicit authorization include:
Assets or materials from other KICK Streamers or channels
Artwork, photographs, or designs created by others
Names, logos, or identifying marks of individuals or organizations
The likeness of another person, such as celebrities or public figures
Content from other media sources
Enforcement Actions
To uphold these standards, our moderation team may take the following actions when necessary:
Immediate removal: Non-compliant Emotes will be promptly removed.
Account disciplinary measures: Repeated or severe violations may result in warnings, channel restrictions, suspensions, or bans.
How You Can Contribute
We encourage all Streamers to help maintain KICK’s community standards by:
Regularly reviewing their Emotes for compliance with these guidelines
Reporting Emotes or content that may violate our policies
