Content policy
What is not allowed here, and the six things we can do about it.
This page says what is not allowed on Calivra, what we do about it, and what we cannot do about it.
Start with the limit, because everything else is shaped by it. Coins live on a public network. We can stop showing a coin here. We cannot delete it from the network, and neither can anybody else. Removing something from this site removes it from this site. Anybody who holds the coin still holds it, other sites may still show it, and anybody can still trade it directly.
What is not allowed
Each of these is a category you can pick when you report something.
Child safety
Any sexual content involving a minor, any material that sexualises a minor, and any coin, name, ticker, image or description that references such material. This is the one category where we act immediately, preserve everything, and refer it on. We do not delete first, because deleting first destroys the evidence an investigation needs.
Terrorism and violent extremism
Content that promotes, praises or raises money for a terrorist organisation or a violent extremist movement.
Violence
Threats against a real person, incitement to violence, and content celebrating a violent attack or its perpetrator.
Hate
Content attacking a person or a group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation.
Sexual content
Pornographic images, and coin names or images whose purpose is sexual shock.
Impersonation
A coin presented as though it were issued by, endorsed by or connected to a person, a company, a public body or a listed share, when it is not. This includes coins built around Robinhood, a Robinhood employee, or a listed share ticker. We treat this category strictly, because a coin that looks official can cost somebody money for a reason that has nothing to do with the market.
Intellectual property
Somebody else's trade mark, logo or artwork used without permission. A rights holder can report this and there is a counter notice.
Doxxing and privacy
Publishing a private person's home address, phone number, identity documents, private photographs or other personal details.
Illegal goods and services
Coins advertising drugs, weapons, stolen data, stolen credentials, or any other unlawful trade.
Fraud and deception
Coins built to deceive: a fake partnership, a fabricated endorsement, a copied project pretending to be the original, or a claim about the coin that is simply untrue.
Offerings that look like a regulated product
Descriptions that promise a profit, a roadmap, a team, a buyback, a dividend, or anything else that makes a coin read as a regulated financial product. This is not us being fussy. A description like that can change how a coin is treated in law, for the creator and for everybody who buys it.
Public official tokens
Coins built around a serving public official, a candidate for office, or a government body.
Spam
Repeated near identical coins, gibberish created in bulk, and anything created to flood the site rather than to exist as a coin.
What we do about it
We have six responses and most violations get one of the milder ones. A site whose only tool is removal either removes too much or does nothing.
| What we do | What it means |
|---|---|
| Label | A notice on the coin page. Everything else stays normal |
| Blur | The image is hidden behind a click. The name, the ticker and trading stay normal |
| Demote | The coin drops out of trending and out of search ranking. It is still reachable |
| Refuse to trade | This site will not build a trade for the coin. The page still opens and says why |
| Hide | The coin comes out of every list and every search. A direct link still resolves, to a notice |
| Block a creator | That wallet cannot create new coins through this site. Coins it already created are untouched, because we cannot touch them |
None of these six touches the network. There is no pause, no freeze, no blocklist and no seizure anywhere in our contracts, because we deliberately did not build one. A contract with an administrator who can stop a transfer is a contract whose administrator can be leaned on, and we would rather not be able to.
How a decision is made
- A report arrives, or an automatic check flags something.
- It goes into a queue with a deadline. Child safety and credible threats of violence get one hour and page somebody. Rights holder reports get 48 hours. Everything else gets 72 hours.
- A person decides. Removing a coin for child safety or terrorism needs two people, not one.
- The decision is written down with the category, the person, the time and the reason. That record can never be edited or deleted. A reversal is a new entry, not an erasure.
Appeals
If we act on a coin you created or a coin you reported, you get a reference and a statement of what was decided and why. You can appeal it. The appeal goes back into the queue at a higher priority and a different person looks at it.
Appeal through the link on the coin's notice, or write to reports@calivra.trade with the reference.
Automatic checks
Some content is caught before a coin exists. A list of terms and a list of protected names always run, whether or not any other service is configured. Where an image or text classifier is configured, it runs as well; where it is not, every image waits for a person before this site shows it, and the site says which of those two states it is in.
These checks are narrow and they miss things. A coin that passes every check has not been reviewed by anybody.
