Community guidelines

EditXP works when every editor feels safe to share unfinished, ambitious work. These rules apply to edits, comments, profiles and ratings.

The rules

1. Be constructiveCritique the edit, not the editor. Say what works and what to try. No harassment, bullying or pile-ons.
2. Rate honestlyScore every edit against the guide, whoever made it. Rating rings, swapping 5s with friends and alt accounts are banned.
3. Use only the supplied footagePlus your own titles, graphics and sound. Never re-upload someone else’s edit as your own.
4. Follow the AI policyAI tools are fine for clean-up: noise reduction, transcription, upscaling and masking. AI-generated shots, voices or automatic editing are not allowed.
5. Keep it safe for everyoneNo hate speech, sexual content, graphic violence, threats, or content that promotes self-harm.
6. No spam or scamsNo fake hire offers, phishing links or selling accounts.

Reporting

Use Report on any edit, comment or profile. You don’t need an account. Reports are confidential: we never tell the other person who reported them. We aim to look at reports of serious harm, like threats, terrorism or child abuse, within 24 hours, and everything else within 7 days. Content reported for child abuse or terrorism is hidden straight away while we check it.

We can remove content, give a strike, disqualify an entry, suspend an account or ban it, and we can remove ratings affected by cheating and recalculate scores. We’ll email you the outcome of your report.

Strikes

Each rule break gives a strike that lasts 90 days. Two active strikes may lead to a one-week suspension and three may lead to a ban. Serious illegal content means an immediate ban. You can see your strikes on your account standing page.

Appeals

If we act on your content or account, we tell you what we did and which rule it broke. You can appeal from your account standing page, or from the link in our email if your account is suspended. EditXP is run by one person, so the same person reviews appeals: they take a fresh look at the evidence and explain the decision. If you’re still unhappy, you can make a complaint.

Blocking

Blocking someone hides their comments and edits from you and stops them following, commenting on or contacting you. They aren’t told.
