Content Guidelines
What's allowed when creating public receipts.
Vid Receipts is built on the idea that everyone benefits when annotations are helpful, accurate, and respectful. To keep the platform useful for everyone, we use AI-powered content moderation on public feeds.
What's Encouraged
Great receipts add value to the video they're attached to. Here are some examples of what makes a strong receipt:
- Factual annotations — Correct or confirm claims made in the video
- Helpful context — Add background information that viewers might not know
- Corrections — Point out errors or outdated information
- Citations and sources — Link to evidence that supports or challenges the video's content
- Key moment highlights — Draw attention to important timestamps that might be easy to miss
What's Not Allowed
The following types of content will be removed from public feeds:
- Harassment or personal attacks — Don't target individuals with insults or threats
- Hate speech — Content that promotes hatred based on identity, race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics
- Spam — Repetitive, irrelevant, or promotional content
- Misleading information — Intentionally false or deceptive claims
- NSFW content — Sexually explicit material or graphic violence
- Off-topic content — Receipts that have nothing to do with the video they're attached to
Where Moderation Applies
- Public receipts — Moderated by AI to maintain quality across the platform
- Private receipts — Not moderated (only you can see them)
- Draft receipts — Not moderated (they're unpublished)
- Custom feed receipts — Feed owners can set their own guidelines and moderate their communities
If Your Receipt Is Flagged
If a public receipt is flagged by our moderation system, you'll be notified and the receipt may be removed from the public feed.
We're currently working on a formal appeal process. In the meantime, if you believe your receipt was flagged incorrectly, please reach out to our support team and we'll review it.
Custom Feed Guidelines
Owners of custom feeds can establish their own content standards for their communities. These guidelines are in addition to the platform-wide rules above — custom feed owners can be stricter, but they can't allow content that violates the platform rules.
