Moderation Policy

Brainboot hosts user-generated content in the form of public brains. To keep the marketplace useful and safe, we actively moderate what appears there. This page explains how the review process works so you know what to expect as a brain author or user.

Every brain submitted to the public marketplace is reviewed against our Acceptable Use Policy before it goes live. Private brains (used only by you or your organization) are not pre-reviewed, but we may investigate them if they are reported or flagged by automated systems.

Review criteria include:

• Does the brain do what it claims?
• Does the system prompt or execution rules violate the Acceptable Use Policy?
• Does the brain attempt to jailbreak, bypass, or weaken safety measures?
• Does it contain prompt injection payloads targeting other brains or the platform?
• Is the name, description, or icon misleading or infringing?
• Does it respect intellectual property and the likenesses of real people?

Every public brain has a Report button. When you submit a report, you provide a reason and optional context. The report is sent to our moderation queue and the brain is flagged for review.

False or malicious reports (reports submitted to harass authors rather than to raise genuine concerns) may result in action against the reporting account.

We aim to respond to reports within the following timeframes:

• Critical violations (CSAM, threats, imminent harm): within 24 hours, often much faster. We may remove content and report to authorities before notifying the author.
• Standard violations: within 72 hours of the report.
• Borderline or unclear cases: within 7 days.

Depending on severity, we may take one or more of these actions:

• Warning. The brain stays up, but we notify the author of the issue.
• Edit request. We ask the author to modify the brain. Non-compliance leads to delisting.
• Delisting. The brain is removed from the public marketplace but kept in the author's private library.
• Deletion. The brain is permanently deleted from our systems.
• Account suspension. The author's account is temporarily suspended pending investigation.
• Account termination. The author's account is permanently terminated for severe or repeat violations.
• Referral to authorities. For content that is illegal in relevant jurisdictions, we report to the appropriate authorities.

When we take action against one of your brains, we send you an email notifying you of the action, the reason, and how to appeal. For critical violations, we may act first and notify immediately after. You can see your moderation history in your account settings.

If you believe an enforcement action was made in error, you can appeal by replying to the notification email or emailing appeals@brainboot.ai within 30 days. Include your account email, the brain affected, and your reasoning.

Appeals are reviewed by a different member of the moderation team than the one who made the original decision. We respond to appeals within 7 days.

If you believe content on Brainboot infringes your copyright, send a takedown notice to dmca@brainboot.ai. Your notice should include: identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, a statement of good faith belief, a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate, and your physical or electronic signature.

We honor valid DMCA takedown notices and may remove content pending investigation. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

We publish an annual transparency report summarizing the total number of reports received, actions taken, appeals processed, and legal requests we received. The first report will cover our first 12 months of public operation.
