House rules

A few rules, so a stage means something

15offa.me works because a stage is one person showing their own work. These rules protect that. They’re short on purpose.

1. Only your own work

Everything on your stage must be made by you: your writing, your music, your art, your footage, your photos. Collaborations are fine when you’re one of the makers and say who else was involved. Covers, remixes and fan art are fine only when they’re clearly labeled as yours and you have the right to share them.

Not allowed: other people’s work, stock images, re-uploads, or anything you found online and didn’t make.

2. Be honest about AI

Using AI tools is allowed. Every piece has a “made with AI” switch; turn it on if AI generated or substantially shaped the piece, and visitors see a small label. You still need to be the one directing it. Passing off someone else’s generated work as yours breaks rule 1.

3. No copying, and no getting around the checks

Every image and every piece of writing gets a fingerprint when it goes up. If it matches another person’s stage, it won’t go up. Cropping, re-coloring, re-typing or re-recording someone else’s work to slip past that is still copying, and it gets accounts closed.

4. You are who you say you are

Use your own name or a name you’re known by. Don’t pretend to be another person, a brand or an organization.

5. Nothing harmful

No hate or harassment aimed at people or groups, no sexual content involving minors (ever, in any form), no sexually explicit material, no threats, no content that promotes self-harm or violence, no one else’s private information, and nothing illegal. Hard subjects in art and writing are fine; using art as cover to target people is not.

6. One person, one stage

One account and one stage per person. Don’t buy, sell or trade handles.

Reports and what happens next

Every stage has a “Report this stage” link. Reports go to a person, not an algorithm. If a piece breaks these rules, we take it down and tell the owner why. Repeated or serious breaks close the account. If you think we got it wrong, write to abuse@15offa.me and someone will look again.

If your copyrighted work is on someone else’s stage, write to abuse@15offa.me with a link to the stage, what the work is, and how we can reach you. See the copyright section of the terms.
