CommunityGuidelines

HUGE rewards the boldest video, not the most dangerous one — and bold covers a lot. Edgy, weird, gross and chaotic are all part of the game. These guidelines mark where the game stops, and they apply everywhere on HUGE: videos, challenges, comments, profiles, and direct and group messages.

Four principles govern every call we make. We judge what a video promotes, not what it merely shows — depicting something is not endorsing it, and documenting, dramatizing or condemning a thing is not the same as celebrating it. Fiction and performance are not real events — film clips, skits, games, effects and stage blood are judged as what they are. When a call is genuinely unclear, we do not punish the doubt. And we judge the content, never the creator — not their body, their clothes, or how much attention their video wants.

Stunts that need a hospital, a fire extinguisher or somebody else’s permission are not worth the HP. Do not post — and do not create challenges that ask for — acts likely to seriously injure someone, instructions for dangerous activities, or crimes filmed as entertainment. Practiced skill, protective gear and camera tricks are what make a stunt a stunt; if a challenge tempts you into something you would not do off camera, sit that one out. Some challenge categories stay restricted until we can moderate them safely.

What gets pulled: real, graphic violence shown approvingly or for shock; credible threats against a real person; footage of real assault, abuse or animal cruelty; and anything promoting or teaching crime. What does not: combat sports, contact-sport hits, fictional or dramatized violence, toy weapons, news and documentary footage, slapstick and pranks where everyone walks away.

HUGE is an 18+ platform, and there is zero tolerance for content that sexualizes, exploits, grooms or endangers anyone under 18 — in video, comments or messages — including coaxing a minor into contact or into sharing personal details. It is removed, the account is terminated on the spot with no strike ladder, and we report it to the authorities. If you see it, report it immediately.

What gets pulled: explicit nudity, sexual acts real or simulated, and content that exists to arouse. What does not: dancing of every style — twerking included — fitness and gymnastics, swimwear and fashion, shirtless torsos, kissing and affection. Bodies are not violations; HUGE does not punish a creator for how they look or dress.

Two lines nobody crosses: intimate images of a real person shared — or threatened — without their consent, and sexual comments or advances aimed at someone who did not invite them. Both end accounts.

Content that encourages, instructs, glorifies or romanticizes suicide or self-harm gets pulled, and so does content promoting disordered eating. Recovery stories, awareness, grief and honest talk about mental health are welcome — that is the opposite of the problem. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a local crisis line or emergency services; a challenge can wait.

What gets pulled: slurs and dehumanizing attacks on who someone is — race, religion, disability, gender, sexuality; calls for exclusion or violence; sustained pile-ons against an identifiable person; and filming or doxxing somebody who has not agreed to be part of your video. What does not: criticism of ideas, institutions and public figures, reclaimed in-group language, and roasting between people who are clearly in on it.

Claims that are demonstrably false and dangerous — about health, safety, elections or emergencies — presented sincerely as fact get pulled. Opinion, satire, parody and obvious jokes do not. Scams of every kind cost the account: fake giveaways, phishing, counterfeit sales, guaranteed-return schemes — and promising a challenge prize you have no intention of delivering. Do not impersonate a real person or brand; parody has to be obvious. Spam, bought followers and misleading challenges get rejected or removed.

HUGE is not a marketplace for harm: content that sells or sources drugs, weapons or stolen goods, promotes illegal gambling, or teaches hacking, credential theft or malware gets pulled and can end the account. AI-made and edited video is welcome — it is a creative tool — so long as it does not pass off fake events as real in a way that hurts people, put words in a real person’s mouth to deceive or harass, or sexualize anyone without consent. And if you were paid or given something to post it, say so — undisclosed ads are treated as misleading content.

Upload video you made. Reposting somebody else’s clip — from HUGE or anywhere else — is not an entry, and the original creator can have it removed. Music and footage you did not make need to be cleared for this use. Using another creator’s sound through HUGE’s own sound library is part of the game — that is what it is for, and the sound stays credited to them. Rights holders can send takedowns as described in the Terms; repeat infringers lose their accounts.

One video per person, per challenge. Enter a challenge and you sit out as a voter — that is what stops people stacking votes for their own entry. Second accounts made to work around either rule lose their entries and their HP, and so does the original. Coming back after a ban on a fresh account costs the fresh account too.

Do not buy votes from other people, trade votes, run bots, or organise a group to vote as a bloc. Huge Votes are scarce on purpose — refilling your own votes with Crystals is part of the game; buying influence over other people’s is not. The whole game only works while votes are spent honestly.

Every uploaded video is automatically reviewed against these guidelines the moment it is processed, and every user-created challenge goes through a manual check by the HUGE team before it goes live — for safety, and for compliance with the Terms and these guidelines. The clearest, most serious violations come down automatically; everything else that gets flagged — by the system or by a report — goes to a human on the HUGE team. Reports on live challenges are looked at first, because a video left up is a video collecting votes.

Not every call is a removal — depending on severity and intent, a video may instead lose its recommendation reach, or a feature may be restricted. Violations that cross the line remove the video and put a strike on the account: first a warning, second a final warning, third a 7-day suspension, fourth a 30-day suspension, fifth a permanent ban. Strikes do not expire. The worst violations — exploiting a minor, credible threats, intimate images shared without consent, fraud — skip the ladder and end the account immediately. A pulled entry forfeits its place on the leaderboard, and challenge creators who abuse the system also lose the ability to create challenges.

Every video, comment, profile, challenge and message has a report control — use it, and say what you saw. Reporting is anonymous: the person you report never learns it was you. Accurate reports genuinely keep HUGE safe (the app may even thank you in HP); knowingly false ones, filed to hurt a competitor, are themselves a violation.

Removals and strikes can be appealed. Write to safety@huge.tv with the challenge and the video, and a different reviewer — always a human — takes a second look. If your entry was pulled from a challenge that has since ended and we were wrong, we restore the HP.
