Community Guidelines

Respect the Kidjutsu Community

Don't abuse the site. We are a small company trying to get kids to read comics. Don't ruin it for others. Every new community feature on Kidjutsu involves a certain level of trust. We trust you to be responsible, and other users respect that trust. Please be one of them.

Don't Cross the Line

Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:

  • Kidjutsu is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your content, don't post it on Kidjutsu. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation. Please read our Safety Tips and stay safe on Kidjutsu.
  • Don't post content showing bad stuff like animal abuse, drug abuse, under-age drinking and smoking, or bomb making.
  • Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your comic shows someone being hurt or attacked in a cruel way, you should not post it. Of course, some violence is unavoidable and can provide good comic relief. Just use common sense.
  • Respect copyright. Only upload comics that you are authorized to use. This means don't upload comics you didn't make, or use content in your comics that someone else owns the copyright to.
  • We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).
  • Things like predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people’s personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Terms of Service are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from Kidjutsu.
  • Everyone hates spam. Don’t create misleading descriptions, tags, titles or thumbnails in order to increase views. It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.

Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don't try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around the guidelines—just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. If you'd like more details, check out our Community Guideline Tips below.

We Enforce These Guidelines

Kidjutsu staff review flagged content 24 hours a day, seven days a week to determine whether they violate our Community Guidelines. When they do, we remove them. Sometimes content doesn’t violate our Community Guidelines, but may not be appropriate for everyone. These comics are age-restricted. Accounts are penalized for Community Guidelines violations and serious or repeated violations can lead to account termination. If your account is terminated, you won’t be allowed to create any new accounts.

Kidjutsu is for the Community

Remember that this is your community! Each and every user of Kidjutsu makes the site what it is, so don't be afraid to dig in and get involved!

  • Have fun with the site. There's a lot to discover here.
  • Let folks know what you think. Feedback's part of the experience, and when done with respect, can be a great way to make friends, share stories, and make your time on Kidjutsu richer. So leave comments, rate comics, discuss comics —there's a lot going on and a lot of ways to participate.
  • You may not like everything you see. If you do find Content that violates our Terms of Service, please email us at feedback@kidjutsu.com with a link.

That's it! Thanks for reading!

Community Guideline Tips

Want a little more insight into the limits and exceptions in the Community Guidelines? Here are some helpful examples and tips:

Sex and Nudity

Most nudity is not allowed, particularly if it is in a sexual context. Generally if a comic is intended to be sexually provocative, it will not get published to Kidjutsu. There are exceptions for some educational, documentary and scientific content, but only if that is the sole purpose of the comic and it is not gratuitously graphic.

Hate Speech

"Hate speech" refers to content that promotes hatred against members of a protected group. For instance, racist or sexist content may be considered hate speech. Sometimes there is a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation, but not okay to make insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality.

Shocking and Disgusting

The world is a dangerous place and people will sometimes get hurt in the stories told by creators. It’s not okay however to post violent or gory content that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful. If a comic is particularly graphic or disturbing, it should be essential for telling the story.

Dangerous Illegal Acts

While it might not seem fair to say you can’t show something because of what viewers theoretically might do in response, we draw the line at content that’s intended to incite violence or encourage dangerous, illegal activities that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death. This means not posting content glorifying bomb making, assassination, sniper attacks, terrorists, or even illegal street racing. Any depictions should just in passing and shouldn’t be designed to help or encourage others to imitate them.

Children

Comics involving children (anyone under the age of 18) are particularly sensitive. Children depicted in comics should never be involved in anything sexually suggestive or extremely violent. Please be cautious when posting something involving a child.

Copyright

When you create something original, you own the copyright for it. Likewise, when other people create content, they may have a copyright to it. As a creative community, it’s essential that everyone on Kidjutsu respect the copyrights of others. If you’re not sure if something will violate someone’s copyright, the safest thing to do is to create something completely original, with images and audio you’ve created. If it’s all yours you never have to worry about copyright—you own it.
