Content Policy

The basics

tiero is for ranking things: games, characters, songs, snacks, anything. This policy applies to everything you post: templates, item names and images, tier lists, descriptions and usernames. It applies whether your content is public, unlisted or private, because uploaded images can be opened by anyone with the link.

Not allowed

• Sexual content

  No sexually explicit images. Anything that sexualizes minors is removed and reported to the authorities.

• Hate

  No content that attacks or demeans people for race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar traits.

• Harassment

  No targeting private people, sharing personal information about someone, or ranking real people to bully them.

• Violence

  No threats, glorification of violent attacks, or gore.

• Copyright

  Upload only images you have the right to use. Copyright claims follow the DMCA process.

• Impersonation

  No pretending to be another person, creator, brand or organization, including through usernames.

• Spam and abuse

  No spam, scams, misleading links, or mass-created templates and lists meant to game rankings or search.

• Illegal content

  Nothing that is illegal to share or that promotes illegal activity.

Rankings and opinions

Disagreeing is the point of a tier list. Putting someone's favorite in the bottom tier is fine. Ranking public figures, teams or products on their public work is fine. Ranking private people, or using a tier list to mock someone for who they are, is not.

Reporting

Signed-in users can report a template, item, image, list or profile that breaks this policy, choosing a reason: spam, sexual content, hate, harassment, violence, copyright, impersonation or other. Reports are private; the owner is not told who reported them.

When three different established accounts report the same thing within seven days, it is hidden automatically until we review it. Reports from new or unverified accounts are recorded but do not count toward hiding.

For copyright, use the DMCA process instead of a report: it is the route that lets us act on a legal notice. For anything urgent, email support@tiero.io.

What we do

Depending on how serious it is, we may:

• hide content while we look at it, so only the owner can see it;
• remove content that breaks this policy;
• disable content after a valid copyright notice;
• add a strike to the account;
• suspend the account, which signs it out everywhere and blocks its embeds and changes made through the API.

Three active strikes suspend an account. Content that sexualizes minors, credible threats and similar severe cases lead to immediate suspension and, where the law requires, a report to the authorities.

Appeals

If you think we got it wrong, email support@tiero.io from the address on your account with a link to the content and why you think it should be restored. For copyright removals, send a counter-notice.
