Strike System

Progressive enforcement for guideline violations

When you violate our community guidelines, your account receives a strike. Strikes accumulate and trigger progressively serious enforcement actions, issued manually by our moderation team.

1

First Strike — Warning

A formal written warning is issued. No upload restrictions are applied, but further violations will escalate.

2

Second Strike — Manual Review

All future uploads are placed under manual review before publishing. You will be notified of the outcome.

3

Third Strike — Upload Block

All new uploads are automatically blocked from publishing. Existing content remains visible unless separately actioned.

4

Fourth Strike — Account Deletion

Your account and all associated content are permanently deleted from the platform. This action is irreversible.

Strike counts are visible on your upload page. Upload restrictions take effect immediately upon reaching the relevant threshold.

Appeals & Disputes

How to challenge a moderation decision

If you believe a moderation action was made in error, you may appeal directly from your blocked video or profile page. Appeals are reviewed by a human moderator within 5–7 business days.

  • AI moderation decisions (blocked or under-review videos) can be appealed via the Appeal button.
  • Strike appeals must include a clear explanation of why the action was incorrect.
  • Submitting an appeal does not guarantee reversal of the action.
  • Accounts deleted for reaching 4 strikes are not eligible for reinstatement.
  • Abuse of the appeals process may result in further action against your account.

These guidelines are subject to change. Continued use of PolyVid constitutes acceptance of the latest version. Major changes will be communicated via platform notifications.
