Community Guidelines.

1. What SleepSpill is for

SleepSpill is a place to post dreams, remember details, compare experiences, ask questions, react thoughtfully, and find other dreamers. Dreams can be weird, funny, symbolic, emotional, frightening, confusing, embarrassing, or deeply personal.

The goal is not to make every dream sound polished or normal. The goal is to give people a place to share without being attacked, sexualized, mocked, exploited, or pushed into unsafe conversations.

2. Minimum age and community maturity

SleepSpill is intended for users who are at least 16 years old. Users may not lie about their age, help someone evade age rules, pressure younger users to join, or use the platform to contact, groom, exploit, sexualize, or manipulate minors.

Date of birth may be collected during registration to confirm age eligibility. It is locked after registration and is not meant to be publicly displayed.

3. Respect the person behind the dream

A dream post may feel strange to read, but it still came from a real person. Treat users like people, not content to pick apart.

• Do not mock someone for what they dreamed.
• Do not shame users for sharing something vulnerable.
• Do not pressure users to explain private details.
• Do not weaponize someone’s dream against them.
• Do not tell someone they are broken, evil, dangerous, crazy, or defective because of a dream.
• Do not use dreams to attack someone’s identity, relationship, beliefs, mental state, trauma, or personal life.

4. Be curious, not cruel

Dream discussion works best when people ask thoughtful questions instead of pretending one comment explains a person’s entire life.

• Use “maybe,” “I wonder,” “this reminds me of,” or “one way to read this is” instead of declaring certainty.
• Do not diagnose users based on dreams.
• Do not claim one interpretation is the only correct interpretation.
• Do not force spiritual, religious, paranormal, psychological, or medical explanations onto someone.
• Do not use interpretation as a way to insult, shame, manipulate, or frighten someone.

5. SleepSpill is not a professional advice service

Users may share personal interpretations and reactions, but SleepSpill is not therapy, medical care, crisis care, legal advice, financial advice, spiritual counseling, or professional diagnosis.

Do not present yourself as a professional unless you actually are one, and even then, do not use SleepSpill to diagnose or treat users. If someone appears to need real-world help, encourage them to contact a qualified professional, trusted person, emergency service, or local crisis resource.

6. Keep SleepSpill appropriate

SleepSpill is not an adult, erotic, fetish, pornography, hookup, or NSFW platform. Dreams can include mature themes, but SleepSpill may remove content that becomes too explicit, sexualized, exploitative, or unsafe.

• No explicit sexual dream posts.
• No sexual roleplay, erotic writing, fetish content, or sexual requests.
• No pornographic descriptions or graphic sexual content.
• No sexualized comments toward users.
• No sexual solicitation or attempts to move users off-platform for sexual conversations.
• No sexual content involving minors, real or fictional, under any circumstance.

7. Sensitive dreams and difficult topics

Some dreams may involve fear, death, grief, abuse, violence, panic, trauma, or other difficult themes. Users may discuss difficult dreams carefully, but content may be removed or limited if it becomes graphic, exploitative, targeted, instructional, threatening, or unsafe.

• Use care when discussing traumatic or disturbing dreams.
• Do not ask users for graphic details they did not offer.
• Do not encourage dangerous behavior.
• Do not romanticize harm, abuse, exploitation, or violence.
• Do not use someone’s vulnerable post to pressure or manipulate them.

8. Comments

Comments should add curiosity, support, humor, context, or thoughtful discussion. A good comment makes someone feel understood or thoughtfully questioned. A bad comment makes someone regret sharing.

• Do not attack the poster.
• Do not derail posts with unrelated arguments.
• Do not spam the same comment.
• Do not self-promote aggressively.
• Do not make sexual comments about users or their dreams.
• Do not push unwanted advice after someone asks you to stop.
• Do not bait users into arguments or use comments to humiliate them.

9. Profiles, bios, avatars, and names

Your profile is public-facing. Keep usernames, display names, bios, avatars, and profile links appropriate and community-safe.

• No explicit, hateful, threatening, or harassing profile content.
• No private contact information, addresses, doxxing, or sensitive personal details.
• No impersonation of SleepSpill staff, brands, public figures, organizations, or other users.
• No links to scams, malware, adult content, fake login pages, or unsafe sites.
• No bio content meant to bait, intimidate, pressure, or target other users.
• No usernames or display names designed to evade moderation or impersonate official notices.

10. Username and identity consistency

Usernames may be locked or limited, especially at launch. This helps keep profiles, reports, moderation history, safety reviews, and account identity consistent.

If username changes are added later, SleepSpill may limit how often they can happen, keep internal username history, or reject names that are confusing, abusive, misleading, or unsafe.

11. Follows and suggested dreamers

Following is meant to help users keep up with dreamers they like reading. It is not permission to harass, pressure, monitor, intimidate, or target someone.

• Do not repeatedly follow and unfollow to annoy someone.
• Do not use follows to track, intimidate, or harass someone.
• Do not create accounts to manipulate follower counts.
• Do not demand follow-backs.
• Do not shame users for who they follow or do not follow.
• Do not use suggested profiles as a reason to bother someone.

12. Likes, engagement, and notifications

Likes and notifications are meant to support normal community interaction. Do not use them to harass, spam, pressure, or manipulate users.

• No fake engagement.
• No botting likes, follows, comments, reports, or accounts.
• No coordinated attempts to inflate or attack a user’s visibility.
• No using repeated activity to intentionally flood someone’s notifications.

13. Harassment and targeted behavior

SleepSpill does not allow harassment, threats, stalking, dogpiling, intimidation, coercion, blackmail, extortion, or targeted abuse. Harassment can be one serious action or a repeated pattern of smaller actions.

• No repeated unwanted contact.
• No threats of harm, blackmail, extortion, or intimidation.
• No encouraging others to target a user.
• No creating posts or comments to shame another user.
• No following users across posts to continue conflict.
• No creating new accounts to continue contact after moderation or restrictions.
• No evading blocks, restrictions, suspensions, or bans.

14. Hate, slurs, and dehumanization

Do not post hateful, degrading, or dehumanizing content targeting people based on protected or personal characteristics. This includes slurs, stereotypes, threats, calls for exclusion, praise of violence, or attacks meant to make users feel unsafe.

Criticism of ideas is allowed. Attacking people for who they are is not.

15. Self-harm, suicide, crisis, and dangerous behavior

SleepSpill is not a crisis service. Do not encourage self-harm, suicide, violence, abuse, eating-disorder behavior, dangerous challenges, or harmful instructions.

Users may carefully discuss difficult emotions or dreams, but content that pressures, instructs, romanticizes, or encourages harm may be removed. If someone appears to be in immediate danger, contact emergency services or a local crisis resource.

16. Violence, threats, and illegal activity

Do not use SleepSpill to threaten people, plan harm, encourage violence, celebrate real-world violence, organize illegal activity, or give instructions for dangerous acts.

Fictional or dream-related fear may be allowed when handled responsibly, but credible threats, targeted intimidation, and real-world harm content are not allowed.

17. Privacy and personal information

Do not post private personal information about yourself or others. Even if a dream involves real people, be careful not to identify them without consent.

• No addresses, phone numbers, private emails, private accounts, workplace details, school details, schedules, or financial information.
• No government IDs, medical details, private family information, or sensitive personal records.
• No screenshots of private messages unless necessary for safety reporting and handled responsibly.
• No doxxing, outing, or exposing sensitive personal details.
• No using someone’s dream details to identify, embarrass, or target them.

18. Minors, exploitation, and grooming

Content that sexualizes minors, exploits minors, grooms users, solicits minors, or normalizes abuse is banned. This applies whether the content is framed as real, fictional, roleplay, fantasy, dream content, jokes, or “just curiosity.”

SleepSpill may remove content, suspend accounts, preserve records, and report information when required or appropriate.

19. Spam, scams, malware, and manipulation

Do not use SleepSpill for spam, scams, fake engagement, technical abuse, or manipulation.

• No mass posting low-effort or repetitive content.
• No phishing, suspicious links, malware, fake login pages, or deceptive downloads.
• No botting likes, follows, comments, reports, registrations, or login attempts.
• No fake giveaways, fraudulent promotions, or misleading offers.
• No selling accounts, followers, likes, reports, or moderation outcomes.
• No scraping, attacking, overloading, or attempting unauthorized access to SleepSpill systems.

20. Rate limits and abuse controls

SleepSpill may use rate limits and anti-abuse controls to keep the site usable and reduce spam. Actions such as registration, login, password reset, verification email resend, posting, editing, deleting, commenting, liking, following, reporting, and profile updates may be limited.

Do not try to bypass rate limits, security checks, account restrictions, moderation actions, or abuse-prevention systems.

21. Impersonation

Do not pretend to be another user, SleepSpill staff, a public figure, a company, organization, emergency service, support worker, or moderator. Parody or roleplay still cannot mislead users, impersonate official authority, or abuse trust.

22. Reporting responsibly

Reports are for safety and rule issues. Do not use reports to harass users, punish disagreement, spam staff, create false claims, or manipulate moderation.

Good reports usually include:

• The page link.
• The username or display name involved.
• A clear reason for the report.
• Screenshots or timestamps if helpful.
• Context showing whether behavior is repeated or urgent.

23. Moderation actions

Depending on the situation, SleepSpill may:

• Remove or hide dreams, comments, profile bios, avatars, names, or links.
• Issue warnings or reminders.
• Restrict commenting, posting, editing, deleting, liking, following, reporting, or profile access.
• Temporarily hide content while it is reviewed.
• Suspend, disable, or delete accounts.
• Preserve records for safety, abuse prevention, legal, or moderation review.
• Report serious illegal, exploitative, or dangerous content when required or appropriate.

Moderation decisions may consider context, severity, user history, repeated behavior, safety risk, and attempts to evade enforcement.

24. Appeals and mistakes

Moderation is not always perfect. If you believe an action was a mistake, contact support respectfully with your username, the action you are appealing, the content involved, and any helpful context.

Abuse of appeals, threats, repeated duplicate messages, or attempts to evade restrictions may result in no response or additional restrictions.

25. What we want SleepSpill to feel like

SleepSpill should feel curious, strange, respectful, and human. The best posts make people say, “I’ve had something like that,” “that’s wild,” or “I wonder what that means.” The worst interactions make people feel watched, judged, sexualized, mocked, or unsafe.

Aim for the first one. Be the kind of dreamer other people feel okay sharing around.
