We want Niki Live to be a safe, welcoming space where people can express themselves and connect. Passionate debate is fine; harassment and intimidation are not. This policy explains what we prohibit and how we enforce it.
This policy applies to all on-platform behavior and content, including live streams, comments, chat messages, profiles, usernames, avatars, gifts/virtual items, and private messages. In serious cases, relevant off-platform conduct that targets Niki Live users may also be considered.
Content or conduct that threatens someone’s safety, dignity, or well-being is prohibited. That includes hate speech, bullying, harassment, and other malicious or abusive behavior.
We prohibit content or conduct that demeans, dehumanizes, incites hatred of, or encourages violence against people based on protected attributes, including:
Age
Caste
Disability
Ethnicity
Gender identity or expression
Immigration status
Medical condition
Nationality
Race
Religion
Sex/Gender
Sexual orientation
Veteran status
Victims/survivors of major violent events and their families
Examples (violations):
Using slurs (targeted or untargeted) or promoting harmful stereotypes about a group
Calls to exclude, segregate, or remove rights based on nationality or religion
Endorsing “conversion therapy” for sexual orientation or gender identity
Holocaust denial or distortion
Mocking victims of hate crimes
Destroying or defacing religious symbols to insult a faith
Fabricating claims that a caste or group caused a disease or disaster
Limited exceptions (only when intent is clear):
Respectful, educational discussion of sensitive topics
Self-referential reappropriation of terms without hateful intent (e.g., in music or speech)
Targeted, repeated, or malicious insults, humiliation, or shaming are not allowed—whether spoken on stream or written in chat, profiles, or messages.
We consider context and intent (e.g., clearly consensual “roasting” among friends). The key question: Would a reasonable person in the target’s position feel bullied or harassed?
Examples (violations):
Repeatedly insulting a person during a stream with the aim to degrade them
Derogatory comments about someone’s sexuality or sexual behavior
Avatars, profile photos, or nicknames made to mock a person
Usernames designed to insult or degrade another user
Unwanted “trash-talk” DMs that persist after being asked to stop
Do not encourage others to mistreat a person, on or off Niki Live.
Examples (violations):
Coordinating mass reports with fabricated claims against a target
Orchestrating “dogpiles” to flood a target’s chat with insults
Encouraging “swatting” or prank emergency calls
Offering rewards to get others to block/ban a target across platforms
We forbid threats of harm (explicit or implied), plans to harm, and encouraging others to harm people, their families, pets, or property. This includes physical, financial, and social harm.
Examples (violations):
Extortion/blackmail: “Send me gifts/coins or I’ll leak your secrets.”
Violent threats: “I’ll find you and hurt you.”
Veiled threats: “Nice dog—shame if something happened to it.”
Incitement: “Those protestors should be shot.”
Wishing harm: “I hope you get sick.”
Calling for self-harm: Urging a specific person to self-injure or die
Respect boundaries. Repeated or intrusive contact after being told to stop is not allowed.
Examples (violations):
Sexually harassing DMs
Streaming outside someone’s home or workplace to provoke a confrontation
Deliberate attempts to disrupt another person’s broadcast or follow them from stream to stream
Do not share someone else’s personal or private information without explicit permission, nor threaten to do so, nor encourage others to do so.
Examples (violations):
Home address, phone number, email, precise location
Financial data (bank accounts, payment IDs)
Non-public legal documents
Intimate/private content (e.g., explicit messages or images)
Secretly taken explicit images
Presenting deepfakes of a person as real
Not violations:
People sharing their own information
Sharing official contact details of public officials
Intent matters. Malicious motives will influence enforcement severity.
We apply heightened protections to users who are or appear to be minors. Bullying, shaming, or targeting children/teens is treated especially seriously. See also our Child Safety Policy.
Respectful criticism of ideas, content, or performance (not attacks on identity)
Clearly consensual jokes/“roasts” among participants who all understand and agree
Brief use of third-party content showing bullying for news, education, or commentary with clear context
Block/Mute: Use in-app tools to stop contact and hide messages
Report: Use the Report option on a stream, profile, message, or comment and include timestamps/clips
Limit Interactions (Creators): Set chat rules, slow mode, keyword filters; appoint moderators; remove offending users
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.
When you report, provide:
Username(s) and links or timestamps
Screenshots/clips of the behavior
Any context (prior messages, requests to stop)
We may request additional information to verify severe claims (e.g., off-platform threats).
Depending on severity and history, we may take one or more actions:
Educational notice or warning
Content removal; chat restrictions
Temporary suspensions or feature limits (e.g., streaming, messaging, gifts)
Loss of monetization or withdrawal privileges
Permanent account bans
Notification to law enforcement where required
Evading enforcement (e.g., ban evasion) can result in stricter penalties.
If you believe we made a mistake, you can submit an appeal through the in-app Help/Support channel. Provide:
The action taken and date
Relevant usernames/IDs
Any new evidence or context
We will review and respond.
Creators are expected to:
Set clear channel rules and model respectful behavior
Moderate chat (personally or via trusted mods and tools)
Intervene when viewers harass others (e.g., guests, co-hosts, audience)
Avoid encouraging fans to target someone on or off Niki Live
Failure to manage community behavior may affect creator privileges.
When off-platform actions clearly target a Niki Live user (e.g., doxxing or orchestrated harassment on another site) and credible evidence exists, we may enforce under this policy.
We may update this policy to address new risks and norms. The current version applies at the time of use.
Thank you for helping keep Niki Live respectful and safe for everyone.
