Acceptable Use Policy

Never — platform

• Grooming, sextortion, or sexual content involving minors.
• Harassment, threats, doxxing, stalking — including off-platform targeting.
• Hate speech, slurs, or calls for violence.
• Impersonation of DXN1, staff, moderators, or other users.
• Scams, phishing, or fraud — including fake payment collection.
• Spam, botting, self-referral farming, or reward gaming.
• Attempting to break, scrape, or attack the platform or other accounts.
• Sharing other people's private data without consent.
• Bypassing suspensions or bans.

Never — tools (research software)

• Using DarkWebScraper Pro or related tools for illegal access.
• Credential theft, exploit-for-hire, or targeting systems you're not authorized to test.
• Violating target-site Terms of Service or local law.

Enforcement

Consequences scale from warnings to permanent removal. Serious violations (especially child safety) skip straight to reporting law enforcement.

What "good use" looks like

• Testing your own systems and systems you're authorized to test.
• Research with a clear lawful purpose and proper documentation.
• Reporting what you find through responsible disclosure →
• Building community: helping others, sharing knowledge, respecting boundaries.

Edge cases we judge case-by-case

• Security research on third-party services — we look for authorization and intent.
• "Ironic" or "meme" harmful content — still harmful. Intent doesn't launder it.
• Multi-accounting and evading blocks — always a violation.

Enforcement scale

Severity	Typical response
Low (spam, minor rule-breaks)	Warning + content removal
Medium (harassment, abuse)	Timed suspension
High (fraud, doxxing, severe abuse)	Permanent removal + possible report
Critical (child safety)	Permanent removal + law enforcement, always
