House rules

Internet Paradise is a small town. It works because people treat it like a real square: you can be seen, you are among artists and collectors, and what you put up stays up for everyone walking past.

Draft, awaiting the founder's review. The section on adult content is a proposal. These rules are part of the terms of service.

Conduct

• Be respectful. Disagree about art as much as you like; do not attack people.
• No harassment. No following, cornering or repeatedly messaging someone who has not asked for it, no threats, no sharing someone's private information.
• No hate. No content or speech that attacks people for their origin, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics.
• No scams or phishing. No fake mints, fake airdrops, fake support, “verify your wallet” links, requests for seed phrases or keys, or links that imitate Internet Paradise, objkt, a wallet or another site. Nobody from Internet Paradise will ever ask for your seed phrase.
• No impersonation. Do not pretend to be another artist, collector, project or the host, in your nickname, your gallery sign or your plot.
• No spam. No flooding the chat, mass advertising, or portals and signs that exist only to push links. The chat limits you to about a message a second for a reason.
• Do not break the town. No exploits, no attempts to overload the site or get around its limits, no automated visitors unless the host asked for a test.

Art and rights

• Only exhibit work you have the right to show: your own, work you collected and are showing as a collector, or work whose artist agreed. Credit the artist.
• Owning a token is not owning the copyright. Collecting an NFT usually lets you display it; it does not let you copy the work into your own models or sell copies.
• Token metadata is not proof of authorship. Anyone can mint anything. Internet Paradise shows a token's public metadata as it finds it and does not verify who made it or who holds its rights.
• Models, textures and images you upload must be yours, or licensed for this use (check the licence of any downloaded model).
• Do not reproduce trademarks, logos or other projects' buildings in a way that suggests a connection that does not exist.

Adult and sensitive content (proposed)

• The mainland, the Palazzo and every plot are public places: anyone walking past sees them, including people who did not choose to.
• Proposed: no sexually explicit content and no graphic violence or gore in public areas, whether as an NFT, a model, an image, a sign or chat. Nudity as a subject of art (painting, sculpture, photography) is allowed when it is not explicit.
• Sexual content involving minors, or non-consensual sexual content, is never allowed anywhere, is removed at once and may be reported to the authorities.
• Flashing images, strobe effects and very loud content should be avoided; they can harm people.

Moderation

The host (the island's administrator) can act at once when something breaks these rules or the law:

• Moderation decides what this site shows. It never touches tokens on the chain or what is in your wallet.
• Every action is written to an audit log: who acted, on what, when and why.
• Serious or repeated breaches can end your access and your plot without refund (terms). For illegal content and scams, the host acts first and explains afterwards.

Reporting

• Anyone signed in with a Tezos wallet can report, invited or not. Look for Report: beside a chat message (hover it, or tap it on a phone), on a person's card (click their name or avatar), on a plot in the map, on a gallery sign, in the artwork panel, on an audio space or a live screen, and in a published space.
• Choose a reason:
  • Spam or scam
  • Harassment
  • Hate
  • Sexual content
  • Impersonation
  • Copyright or someone else’s work
  • Something else
  and add a note of up to 600 characters if it helps.
• A report records what you reported, the reason, your note, where you stood and, for a chat message, the message and who wrote it, kept only for moderation. Your wallet is recorded so the host can limit abuse, but it is never shown to the person you report. Your network address is never stored.
• About 30 reports a day per wallet; reports are also limited per network.
• The host reviews reports by hand at the host desk. The host aims to answer within 7 days.

Blocking someone

On a person's card, Block on this device hides their chat and their avatar for you. Nobody else is affected and the host is not told. Unblock from the same card, or everyone at once from your account panel.

Appeals

If you think a moderation decision about you or your work was wrong, use the contact and appeal form: say what happened and why it should be reconsidered. The host will look again and answer. Hidden content is normally kept rather than deleted, so most decisions can be reversed. Your data, its download and its deletion are on the privacy page.

You can also write to internetparadisexyz@gmail.com. The host aims to answer within 7 days.
