Community Guidelines

Last updated: January 23, 2025

Welcome to the AI Arena Community! We're building a vibrant, creative space where AI art enthusiasts can showcase their work, compete fairly, and inspire each other. These guidelines help us maintain a positive environment for everyone.

🎯 Our Community Values

🎨 Creativity First

We celebrate innovation, experimentation, and artistic expression. Every style and approach to AI art is welcome, from photorealistic to abstract, minimalist to maximalist.

🤝 Respect & Inclusivity

AI Arena is for everyone, regardless of background, experience level, or artistic style. We treat all community members with respect and kindness.

🏆 Fair Competition

We believe in honest competition where the best art wins. Gaming the system undermines the experience for everyone.

📚 Learning & Growth

We're all here to improve. Constructive feedback, sharing techniques, and supporting fellow artists helps everyone grow.

🗳️ Voting Etiquette

Voting is the heart of AI Arena. Your votes determine rankings and help creators understand what resonates with the community.

How to Vote Fairly

Judge the art, not the artist: Vote based on visual appeal, creativity, and execution
Consider the category: A great portrait might not win in the landscape category
Be consistent: Apply similar standards across your voting sessions
Skip if unsure: It's okay to skip pairs you can't decide between
Avoid bias: Don't favor or penalize specific styles consistently

📤 Upload Best Practices

Quality Over Quantity

We limit uploads to 3 per 12 hours to encourage thoughtful submissions. Make each upload count by:

Selecting your best generations
Ensuring high image quality
Choosing the most appropriate category
Writing clear, descriptive titles
Double-checking for any policy violations

Category Selection

Accurate categorization helps your content reach the right audience:

Choose the primary focus of your image
If multiple categories apply, pick the most dominant theme
Don't use popular categories just for more views
Consider creating content specifically for less populated categories

🚫 Consequences for Violations

We enforce our guidelines to maintain a positive community. Violations result in:

Warning System

First Offense: Warning message and content removal (if applicable)
Second Offense: 7-day suspension from uploading
Third Offense: 30-day suspension from the platform
Severe/Repeated Violations: Permanent ban

Immediate Ban Offenses

Systematic vote manipulation
Severe harassment or threats
Attempting to hack or damage the platform
Doxxing or sharing private information

🛡️ Reporting & Moderation

How to Report

Use the report button (flag icon) on the content
Select the most appropriate violation category
Add details if the violation isn't obvious
Submit the report for review

What Happens Next

You won't be notified of specific actions taken
