ピキ日記 (PikiDiary) Terms of Service [English]

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using ピキ日記 ("PikiDiary," "we," "us," or "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use PikiDiary.

Accounts belonging to individuals under 13 will be terminated. If you are under 13, your agreement to these Terms is void, and you must stop using the Service immediately.

3. Account Security & Verification

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

Account recovery requests may be sent to [email protected], but we are under no obligation to fulfill them.

We may periodically require verification (such as CAPTCHA) to prevent abuse. We reserve the right to suspend or delete any account we suspect of suspicious or automated activity.

4. Prohibited Conduct

4.1 Illegal or Malicious Activity

Do not post, link to, or promote illegal content, malware, phishing schemes, or other harmful material.

Do not use the Service to organize or facilitate illegal or harmful behavior.

4.2 Harassment, Hate, and Discrimination

Users may not engage in targeted harassment or promote hate against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.

The use of slurs is permitted only in clearly non-hateful contexts such as cultural discussion, satire, or self-referential use. However, slurs that are historically or commonly used to incite hatred or dehumanize others are strictly prohibited, regardless of intent or context.

All content is subject to moderator review, and context will be considered when determining whether a violation has occurred.

4.3 Exploitation, Minors, and Sexual Content

Absolutely no sexualized content involving minors. Any such violation will result in a permanent ban and may be reported to authorities.

Any behavior suggestive of grooming, exploitation, or harassment will result in immediate account termination and potential legal reporting.

Pornographic or overtly sexual content is not allowed on PikiDiary, regardless of context. Gore or shock content is also prohibited. Exceptions may only be made for educational or artistic purposes with clear disclaimers and/or moderator approval.

4.4 Spam and Automated Abuse

Do not spam, flood, or abuse the site's content creation systems.

Automated account creation, bot usage, or operating multiple accounts to circumvent limits is prohibited.

4.5 Respect and Community Spirit

PikiDiary is a space for creativity, personal expression, and kindness. Treat others with respect.

Our motto is: "オマエモナー" (Omae Mona), meaning "You are too." It expresses that you are human, I am human, and we should treat one another with empathy and care.

4.6 Disruptive Theming and Atmosphere Breaking

PikiDiary is a shared space with its own tone and culture. Posts should align with the spirit of the site, not override it with external agendas or niche subcultures.

Attempts to dominate the atmosphere through excessive roleplay, fixation on specific symbols or mascots (e.g., Blåhaj), or turning the site into a stage for performative identity or group drama will be subject to moderation.

This rule applies regardless of the group, interest, or identity involved.

4.7 Promotion

Promoting your own content is allowed, including things like your artwork, personal website, social media profiles, or other creative projects. However, certain types of promotion are restricted. You may not directly link to donation pages (such as Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.), paid services, or external platforms in which you are personally invested in.

Please be respectful and avoid spammy behavior. Excessive self-promotion, low-effort posts, repeatedly sharing the same link, or creating an account solely to promote content can negatively impact the experience of others and may result in moderation actions. Users who actively contribute to the platform will naturally have more freedom when sharing their work.

4.8 Exit Posts

If you decide to leave PikiDiary, simply log out and go. Publicly announcing your departure to provoke reactions or seek attention is discouraged and may be removed. The community thrives when participation is genuine, not performative.

5. Content Ownership & License

You retain ownership of any content you post on PikiDiary.

By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, modify, adapt, and distribute your content for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and promoting the Service, including use in showcases, community highlights, and advertisements. This license extends to derivative works, such as screenshots or excerpts of your posts, but does not give us ownership over your creations.

Media (such as images, audio, or video) hosted via third-party services like Catbox is subject to their Terms of Service. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to upload and share that content.

6. Moderation & Enforcement

Moderators may remove content or suspend accounts at their sole discretion, with or without prior warning.

Appeals or moderation inquiries may be sent to [email protected]. We may respond at our discretion.

7. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated by either you or PikiDiary.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. We may retain or delete your content at our discretion.

8. Data Deletion

Users may request deletion of their account and associated data by contacting [email protected]. Requests will be honored in accordance with data retention practices.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. Updates will be posted on this page, and we will notify users of material changes when appropriate.
