Community Guidelines (Appendix 5)

Wink is committed to empowering Creators to share their works through our Platform. As our Users’ experiences would be our top priority, we strive to provide a safe Platform for our Creators and Fans to interact. We value our Users’ feedback and experiences in using our Platform, to gather the Users’ input, we frequently host policy livestreams, small group discussions to improve and ameliorate our Platform Services. Our community guidelines, and also our Terms of Use for Users, and other policies posted on our Platform and Site would be amended from time to time (including but not limited to Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy to keep up with the changes of our business model and Applicable Laws). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein have the same meanings as those defined in our Terms of Use for all Users.

You agree and undertake that you shall not do, or, knowingly or otherwise, authorise, permit, allow, induce or assist any other person to breach of the following guidelines:-

Wink was built for interactions between Creators and Fans, not for enabling or facilitating violence or harm.

Wink strictly prohibits terrorism and violent extremism on the Platform. Works that facilitate, support, or represent dangerous organisations will be removed from Wink. Such groups include, but are not limited to:
If you come across a violation of the above, please report it pursuant to our Report and Complaint Policy.
Creators and Fans are empowered and authorised to express themselves, though not at the expense of anyone else’s safety or privacy.

Harassment, whether online or in the real world, harms people physically and psychologically. Although Wink embraces free speech, safety is our top priority. Harassment and abusive behaviours are not tolerated and permitted.
Bullying individuals are prohibited on Wink. Acts that qualify as bullying include, but are not limited to, threatening violence to intimidate, mockery based on sexual history or status as a survivor of sexual assault, sharing degrading photos or videos, and derogatory photoshopped images. Works that pose risk to the public figure’s physical safety and/or violates other Wink policies (e.g. hate speech, sexual exploitation), however, are not permitted.
Dogpiling is a form of harassment in which a group of people attack an individual online to intimidate or humiliate them. Wink prohibits Users from engaging in conduct that encourages dogpiling.
Doxxing is a form of harassment in which someone shares an individual’s personally identifiable information (e.g. home address, phone number, bank account information, medical information) online without consent. This abusive act can lead to harms against the individual such as stalking, emotional distress, physical harm, psychiatric injury, loss of job prospects, and identity theft. Wink prohibits Creators and Fans on the Platform from engaging in or encouraging doxing, save and except publishing someone else’s personally identifiable information with the individual’s consent, and sensitive information from documents properly stored in the public domain (e.g. court filings, press releases and news articles).
Wink has zero tolerance for works featuring non-consensual intimate imagery, which is defined as sexual or pornographic imagery of an individual or individuals made and/or distributed without their consent. If you are a victim of this behaviour and feel your wellbeing is at risk, we recommend you to contact local law authorities. If you are addressing a situation involving non-consensual intimate imagery in which you hold copyright rights, we strongly advise that you report that to us here instead of submitting a notification of claimed copyright infringement.
Swatting is the act of making a false report to emergency services or law enforcement (e.g. bomb threat, hostage situation, active shooter report). Swatting, encouraging others to engage in swatting, and/or promoting swatting in general is extremely dangerous and are strictly prohibited on Wink.
Wink treats threats and incitements of violence or physical harm with the utmost seriousness. Prohibited behaviours include but are not limited to organizing or disclosing aspirational, conditional, or credible plans for a violent act; soliciting advice for, advocating for, or threatening the safety of public or private individuals. Any Creators or Fans exhibiting these behaviours will be removed from the Platform.
The safety and wellbeing of Wink’s community is paramount.

Wink prohibits works focused on promoting dangerous or self-destructive topics (e.g. high-risk acts and challenges, disordered eating, suicide, self-harm or self-injury) that pose risk to the physical, mental, or emotional health of those on the Platform. However, raising public awareness is important, and Wink empowers individuals on the Platform to share personal experiences with these topics in a safe manner (acceptable topics include discussing aesthetic or medical body modification unrelated to self-harm or self-injury, being piercings, tattoos, gender affirming surgery, plastic surgery, scarification).
Promoting, normalizing, glorifying, coordinating, or otherwise providing instructional advice about acts or challenges that pose an imminent risk of serious injury or death is prohibited on Wink. Works involving dangerous acts and challenges that have a community support or educational focus, or are part of a greater narrative, are permitted.
Promoting, soliciting, providing instructional advice about, coordinating, or otherwise glorifying disordered eating, feederism, or related topics is prohibited on Wink.

Examples of feederism works include, but are not limited to: force feeding (consensual or nonconsensual), using illegal or controlled substances to achieve weight gain, using devices to fill the stomach, and so forth.

Works involving disordered eating, feederism, and related topics that have a community support or educational focus, are part of a greater narrative, or are otherwise contextualised in a manner that abides Wink’s guidelines are permitted. Promotion of body positivity, eating competitions, medical surgeries, health, fitness, or lifestyle works are also permitted.
Promoting, providing instructional advice about, coordinating, or otherwise glorifying suicide, self-harm or self-injury, or related acts (“Self- Destruction Acts”) is prohibited on Wink. Self-Destruction Acts includes imagery of someone engaging in the act, the aftermath of the act, and/or associated paraphernalia (e.g. razor blades, bandages), as well as text and audio works. Works involving suicide, self-harm or self-injury and related challenges that have a community support or educational focus, are part of a greater narrative, or are otherwise contextualised in a manner that abides by Wink’s guidelines are permitted.
Wink prohibits all content that contains or depicts graphic violence, gore, or excessive blood. This includes but is not limited to: images or videos showing severe injury, mutilation, dismemberment, or trauma; content featuring blood in sexual contexts; depictions of torture or extreme bodily harm; realistic simulations of violence resulting in visible injury; and any media showing real injury, death, or corpses.
