Emote Guide
At Kick, we are committed to fostering a vibrant, inclusive environment for creators 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 all, we have established the following guidelines for emote content and usage.
Our Commitment to Safety
Kick is a creator 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 adhere can harm individuals, disrupt communities, and compromise the integrity of the platform.
Expectations of Emote Creation and use
Creators are fully responsible for ensuring all emotes created by themselves and their community moderators adhere with our Community Guidelines. Specifically, Community Guideline 11.
Offensive Emotes: Do not create and/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 that are designed to incite harm or promote hate.
Sexual or explicit imagery
Illegal content: Emotes that endorse or promote illegal activities
