This Acceptable Use Policy explains what is allowed on FanBase and what is not. It applies to every creator, fan and agency, to every post and message, and to every part of the service. It is part of our Terms of Service and is set by the administrator of the fanbase.org service. Questions go to support@fanbase.org.
What is allowed where
| Where | Who can post | What is allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Mainstream catalogue | Any creator | Music, fitness, food, gaming, podcasts, art, education, lifestyle and other content that is not adult content |
| Adult 18+ section | Identity verified creators aged 18 or older | Adult content between consenting adults, with every co-performer's ID and consent on file |
| Messages | Creators and the fans who support them | Content that follows the same rules as posts, including the adult content rules |
Adult content is allowed only in the Adult 18+ section and only from verified creators. It must never appear on a mainstream page, in a mainstream category, in a profile photo, cover image or public preview, or in a message to a fan who has not turned the adult section on.
Every post is reviewed before it goes public, and every upload is checked against lists of known illegal material.
Banned everywhere
The following is not allowed anywhere on FanBase, including the Adult 18+ section and private messages.
Minors
Zero tolerance for any sexual content involving minors, or anyone who appears to be a minor, including drawn, animated or AI generated material. It is removed, the account is closed permanently and the matter is reported to the authorities. Content that sexualises school settings or childlike features is also banned.
Non-consent

Platform abuse

Reporting
Every profile and post has a report button. Copyright owners can use our DMCA Policy. Reports are reviewed, and reports about minors or non-consent are handled first.
What happens when rules are broken
Depending on how serious the breach is, we may:
- Remove the content.
- Send a warning.
- Limit features such as posting or messaging.
- Hold payouts while we review the case, or reverse earnings tied to banned content or fraud.
- Suspend or permanently close the account.
- Report the matter to the authorities when the law requires it or when people may be at risk.
Content involving minors, non-consent or impersonation leads to permanent closure. Creators whose accounts are closed may not open a new one.
