User Suspension & Enforcement Guidelines

1. Enforcement Objectives

Vexor's enforcement program is designed to uphold platform integrity while protecting users from harm, abuse, and illegal activities. Our objectives include:

• Preventing harmful, illegal, or abusive content and behaviors
• Maintaining user trust, platform reliability, and policy consistency
• Applying clear and proportionate enforcement measures
• Providing transparent pathways for remediation and appeals
• Aligning enforcement actions with international safety laws and regulatory mandates

2. Types of Enforcement Actions

Depending on severity, Vexor may impose one or more of the following actions:

• Content Removal: Deletion of videos, posts, comments, or media violating policy.
• Warning Notices: Educational alerts explaining violations and corrective steps.
• Feature Restrictions: Temporary loss of messaging, posting, live streaming, or monetization.
• Suspensions: Temporary account lock preventing login or activity.
• Permanent Account Termination: Removal of the account when violations are severe or repeated.
• Shadow / Visibility Restrictions: Reduced distribution or reach for low-quality, borderline, or spam-like content.
• Monetization Suspension: Temporary or permanent removal of earnings features.

3. Strike System & Warning Levels

Vexor uses a structured, escalating strike system to promote compliance. Enforcement severity increases when violations persist or escalate.

• First Strike – Warning: Educational message; content removal if necessary.
• Second Strike – Temporary Restriction: Feature limitation or short-term suspension.
• Third Strike – Extended Suspension: 7–30 day suspension; possible loss of monetization.
• Severe Violation – Immediate Termination: For egregious violations such as CSAM, terrorism, extreme violence, exploitation, or imminent harm, the account is permanently banned without prior strikes.

Strike expiration varies depending on violation type and regional legal requirements. Some categories (e.g., child safety) never expire.

4. Categories of Violations & Typical Responses

Common enforcement categories include:

• Child Safety / CSAM: Immediate termination; mandatory reporting; evidence preservation.
• Sexual Exploitation: Immediate removal and account termination.
• Violent Threats & Terrorism: Immediate removal; permanent ban; law enforcement escalation.
• Hate Speech / Harassment: Warnings or suspensions; termination for repeat offenses.
• Spam, Scams & Fraud: Removal, suspension, monetization revocation, device and identity blocks.
• Copyright Violations: Takedowns per DMCA; repeat violators may be terminated.
• Impersonation: Account restrictions; may require identity verification.
• Self-Harm & Suicide Content: Content removal; crisis resources; emergency intervention when necessary.

5. Evidence & Recordkeeping

To ensure integrity and compliance, Vexor securely retains:

• Content snapshots and metadata
• Moderator decision notes and timestamps
• AI model signals and confidence scores
• User reports and associated evidence
• Legal request records and preservation orders

Records are stored per Vexor’s Data Retention Policy and may be preserved longer when legally required.

6. Notification & Transparency

Users affected by enforcement actions generally receive a notice containing:

• The reason for enforcement
• Links to the relevant policy section
• The content that triggered enforcement when permissible
• The duration of the restriction or suspension
• Instructions for appeal

Notifications may be withheld in rare cases, including active law enforcement investigations or emergency safety incidents.

7. Appeals & Reinstatement

Users may challenge an enforcement action through Vexor’s Appeals System. Appeals include an independent review by a different moderation specialist or policy expert.

Appeals Contact: appeals@vexor.to

Appeals are prioritized based on severity, risk, and user safety. Reinstated cases may feed into internal quality improvements and AI retraining.

8. Monetization & Payout Consequences

Violations may result in restrictions on monetization. Possible consequences include:

• Temporary monetization freeze
• Permanent removal from monetization programs
• Reversal of earnings tied to fraudulent or refunded transactions
