A place to sell honest goods
Storefronts, listings and checkout for people selling real products and services. Describe what you sell truthfully and price it clearly, and you have nothing to worry about here.
Policies
What our platforms may not be used for.
Sellers, Creators and Labs are built to host a lot. Here is the short list of what they will never host, and the reason behind each line.
In plain terms
Most things are welcome.
We would rather say yes. The vast majority of what people build on Calyraen is exactly what we hoped for: shops, portfolios, small experiments, the odd strange idea. This page is about the narrow set of things we turn away, so you always know where you stand before you build. Read it once and you probably never need it again.
Built to host, or shut down.

What they are for
Real work, made by real people
Selling honest goods, publishing your own work, testing an idea in the open. If what you are doing would look fine explained out loud to the people it touches, it belongs here.

What gets an account suspended
Harm dressed up as a product
Deceiving people, attacking their devices, stealing their work, or putting anyone in danger. When a use is built to hurt someone who never agreed to it, the account comes down.
What each one is for.
Same rules across all three. It helps to know what each was built to do.
Your own work, published your way
Sites, writing, art and media that belong to you. Publish what you make. Do not pass off someone else's work as your own, and do not use it to target a person.
Room to try an idea
Space to build experiments and prototypes in the open. Break your own things freely. The moment an experiment reaches out to break someone else's, it stops being an experiment.
Research at CalyraenThe lines we won't cross.
Six things that get an account suspended, and the reason each one is a line rather than a warning. Open a tile for the thinking behind it.
The one test
Does it harm someone who did not agree to it?
Almost every rule below comes from a single question. If a use of our platforms is built to deceive, attack, steal from or endanger a person who never signed up for it, that is where we draw the line. Everything else we try to allow.

Fraud and scams
Anything built to trick people out of money, data or trust.
Malware and attacks
Using our platforms to damage or break into other systems.
Targeted harm to people
Threats, harassment, or content that pushes real-world violence.
Child safety
Any content that sexualises or endangers a child. Zero tolerance.
What happens next.
We would rather fix a misunderstanding than lose an account. Here is how we handle it when something is over the line.
-
We look before we act
A report or an automated flag gets a human read first. Plenty of things that look wrong at a glance are fine once someone actually reads them, and we would rather check than guess.
-
We tell you what and why
If we act, you hear from us in plain language: what crossed the line, which rule, and what to do about it. No vague notice, no silent switch-off.
-
We give room to fix it
For most rules, there is a way back. Take the content down or correct the listing and the account stays open. The cases with no second chance are the ones where waiting would let real harm continue.
-
You can push back
Think we got it wrong? Reply and a person reviews it again. We make mistakes, and when we do we say so and put it right.
“We would rather turn away a sale than host something built to hurt a person who never agreed to be part of it.”
Asked and answered.
How do I report something that breaks these rules?
Send us the link and a line about what is wrong through the contact page. A person reads every report, and you do not need an account to tell us about a problem.
Will you warn me before you suspend my account?
For most rules, yes. We tell you what crossed the line and give you a chance to fix it. The exception is anything that keeps hurting people while it stays up, like child safety violations, which we act on at once.
Do these rules cover private or unlisted content too?
Yes. Where the content sits does not change what it does. Something that harms a person is not allowed whether it is on a public shop, a private page or a Labs experiment.
What if my use sits in a grey area?
Ask us before you build. We would much rather answer a question early than take something down later. Describe what you are planning and we will tell you straight whether it fits.
Where to next
Know where you stand.
That is the whole policy. If your plan is honest and it does not aim harm at anyone, build away. If you are not sure, ask us first.
