Handling types of content with sensitive topics

If a character of 16 years or older is shown with the mental faculty to have sexual relations with one equal to their age or older, and both parties agree, it is allowed as long as the notice of age rating is marked as either "For over 18 only" or "For over 21 (adults) only". Stories involving explicit sex with minors of 15 years old are prohibited.

Sexual harassment and violations. Regardless of the character's age, this act should not be shown as positive , permissive or glorified. The story will have to have a narrative justification of why it uses this resource and some solution. It is forbidden to involve children under 15, whether justified or not. This content should also carry the reading warning for those over 18.

Philes. They are allowed as long as those involved are over 18 years old, not a plot with the sole intention of exciting the reader, and do not show as an example to follow. If a story contains any philia, it must be justified with a narrative plot, in addition to using the content notice for those over 18.

Pornography in any form. Whether it's a graphic text, visual content or audio, this is forbidden.

Quality. All content produced and published on Inkspired must be written with the highest spirit of committing to a good quality and original content. This area is very subjective and is not subject to sanctions unless there are extreme cases that show that what has been tried to publish is not a work of any kind of fiction or have grammatical and orthographic errors at levels that make it unreadable.
