Content rules.

Weird, specific, creative requests that do not hurt anyone. Custom videos, phone calls, art and illustration, errands, performances, research, letters, playlists, stunts that are odd rather than dangerous.

The test we actually use: could the person performing it tell a friend what they did without embarrassment or legal risk, and could the person receiving it explain why they wanted it? If both are yes, it probably belongs here.

Specificity is the point. "Draw me something" is a weak request. "Repaint my wedding portrait, same dress, same light, same chair, without him" is what this platform is for.

Sexual content — no exceptions

Adult, sexual, or nudity-based content of any kind is prohibited. There is no creator tier and there are no exceptions. This includes: nudity, sexual acts, sexualised posing, fetish content, sexual roleplay, erotic audio or writing, and requests seeking any of the above.

Minors

Anyone under 18 as a subject, depicted, described or implied, is prohibited.

Content that sexually exploits or abuses a child is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and to law enforcement, results in immediate permanent termination, and the material and records are preserved. There is no appeal and no warning.

Illegal activity

Anything unlawful where the fulfiller is located, or that asks someone to break the law. This includes controlled substances, weapons and their components, stolen goods, counterfeit items, forged documents, fraud, money laundering, and evasion of sanctions or export controls.

Harm to people

• Harassment, bullying, stalking, intimidation, or sustained unwanted contact.
• Doxxing: publishing or seeking someone's home address, phone number, workplace, financial details, or other private information.
• Threats of violence, or content that glorifies or incites it.
• Hate speech or discrimination targeting people by race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, age, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
• Content that promotes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
• Requests targeting a specific private individual who has not agreed to be involved.

Danger

Anything that risks physical injury to the fulfiller, the poster, or bystanders. No daredevil stunts, no trespass, no impersonating emergency services or officials, no interfering with traffic, no activity requiring a licence or qualification the fulfiller does not hold.

Deception

• Fake reviews, testimonials, endorsements or engagement presented as authentic.
• Vote brigading, follower campaigns, or manipulating another platform's metrics.
• Impersonating a real person or organisation.
• Anything that breaches another platform's terms of service.
• Astroturfing, or undisclosed paid promotion where disclosure is legally required.

Intellectual property and likeness

• Using someone else's copyrighted work without authorisation.
• Trademark infringement or passing off.
• Using an identifiable person's name, image, voice or likeness without their permission, including synthetic or AI-generated likenesses.

Regulated services

Financial, legal, medical, psychological or immigration advice; prescription medication; gambling; insurance; and anything else requiring professional licensing.

Privacy

Third-party personal data, private communications you were not authorised to share, surveillance, tracking a person, or recording someone without the consent their jurisdiction requires.

Platform abuse

Malware, phishing, credential harvesting, scraping, circumventing security or rate limits, and automated use we have not authorised.

Do not move a transaction off Weird Requests to avoid fees, and do not ask anyone else to.

This includes sharing personal contact details, payment handles, or links to other payment services in order to complete a deal that started here. Messages are screened for this, and attempts are flagged.

Why we care beyond the fee: escrow, dispute resolution, moderation and the record of what was agreed all disappear the moment a deal leaves the platform. The person most exposed is usually the fulfiller, who ends up doing the work with no protection.

Confirmed circumvention is a severity-3 breach and results in immediate termination.

Exchanging contact details is permitted where the request genuinely requires it — a phone call request needs a phone number, an errand needs an address. The distinction is whether it serves the request or replaces the platform.

Screening

Content is screened automatically before publication and continuously afterwards, and by human moderators. Uploads are scanned for child sexual abuse material. Text and images are screened for prohibited material.

What we can do

Depending on severity we may: remove or hide content; reject or hold a delivery; cancel a request and refund escrow; issue a strike; restrict features; suspend the account; terminate permanently; and report to law enforcement.

Strikes

• Most breaches carry a severity-1 strike.
• Strikes decay after the period shown in the product, currently 12 months.
• Reaching the threshold shown in the product, currently 3 active severity points, results in a ban.
• Child sexual abuse material and confirmed off-platform circumvention carry severity 3 — an immediate ban on the first occurrence.

You are notified whenever a strike is issued, with the reason.

Proportionality

We aim to match the response to the conduct. A first-time formatting or scope breach usually earns an edit request, not a strike. Deliberate, repeated, or harmful conduct escalates quickly.

Interim action

Where the potential harm is serious, we may act before a human review is complete. We would rather remove something wrongly for a few hours than leave genuine harm up while we deliberate.

If you believe an enforcement decision was wrong, email support@weirdrequests.com with your @handle and what was actioned. A person will review it — where practical, someone who was not involved in the original decision.

We aim to respond within a reasonable period and will tell you the outcome and the reason.

If we got it wrong we will reverse it, remove the strike, and restore the content where we still hold it.

The only decisions not subject to appeal are those involving child sexual abuse material.

If you are in the European Union, this does not affect any rights you have under the Digital Services Act to contest a moderation decision, including through an out-of-court dispute settlement body.

Every request, delivery and message has a Report button. Reports go to the moderation queue and we review every one.

Tell us what you saw and why it breaks these Rules. Specific reports are actioned faster than general ones.

We do not tell the reported user who reported them.

Reporting in bad faith — to harass someone, to remove a competitor, or to gain advantage in a dispute — is itself a breach of these Rules.

For copyright and trademark complaints, use the DMCA process rather than the Report button, because those require specific information to be actionable.

If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first. Then tell us at support@weirdrequests.com.

We will update these Rules as the platform and the risks change. The date at the top reflects the current version.

Material changes are announced before they take effect. Changes are not applied retroactively to conduct that was permitted at the time.
