Moderation protects the service and the people linked to it.

Image hosting can be misused. The moderation process is designed to remove confirmed violations quickly while avoiding automated decisions that could erase legitimate content without review.

01

How reports are reviewed

Visitors can report a hosted image with a reason and supporting details. Open reports appear in a protected administrator queue with a secure preview, including when the uploader added a password. The public password remains required for ordinary visitors.

A moderator can dismiss an unsupported report, remove the image, block an account or anonymous visitor fingerprint, and block a perceptual image hash when materially similar reuploads must be rejected.

02

What is prohibited

The Terms of Service prohibit illegal content, child sexual abuse material, malware, non-consensual intimate imagery, credible threats, copyright infringement, and abuse of the service or its infrastructure. Reports involving immediate danger or legally mandated categories receive priority.

03

Legacy links

A URL from the previous application is restored only when the original bytes are available and can be verified against an exact recovery manifest. Deleted or unverifiable legacy files return a truthful 404 or 410 response. They are not replaced with unrelated images, fabricated statistics, or crawler-only content.

04

Requests and contact

Privacy, data-access, copyright, and law-enforcement requests are reviewed through the contact channel. Include the exact image or page URL and enough information to evaluate the request. Do not send sensitive identity documents unless the operator requests a specific verification step.

Aggregate moderation totals will be published only after complete reporting periods can be measured consistently. This page describes the current process without inventing historical counts.
