See the <strong>Copyright Policy</strong> for more details on how we handle copyright.</p>

By default, all content will be marked as <strong>Normal</strong> sensitivity and will be visible to all users.
Creators are expected to mark their content as <strong>Not Safe For Work (NSFW)</strong> or <strong>Not Safe For Life (NSFL)</strong> if appropriate before making the content public.
<strong>Content Moderation</strong> processes will be employed to ensure the appropriate sensitivity level is applied to content, and inappropriately marked content should be flagged via those processes when encountered.</p>
