This page is maintained by the PunchLine team to set expectations for behavior on the platform. It may be updated as the community grows.
Be Funny, Not Harmful
Comedy is subjective. PunchLine welcomes edgy, dark, and roast-style jokes — but never content that targets individuals for harassment, threats, or hate based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
Respect Other Users
Do not dox, stalk, spam, or intimidate others. Comments and reactions should be about the comedy, not personal attacks on the creator.
Own Your Content
Only upload clips you created or have permission to share. Do not post content that infringes copyright, including unlicensed music, movie clips, or other people's performances.
No Illegal or Dangerous Content
Do not upload content depicting illegal acts, violence, self-harm, dangerous stunts, or explicit sexual material. This includes sexual content involving minors or non-consensual imagery.
No Manipulation or Cheating
Do not use bots, fake accounts, or vote manipulation to inflate laughs, followers, or competition votes. We monitor for suspicious activity and may reset scores or ban accounts.
Reporting and Enforcement
Users can report clips, comments, and profiles. Moderators and admins review reports and may hide, remove, or delete content, and suspend or ban accounts. Moderation decisions are final.
Clips that receive multiple reports may be automatically hidden from the public feed pending moderator review.
Mature Content
Some comedy includes adult language or themes. PunchLine may label or restrict mature content. Users must be old enough to view such content under their local laws.
