|
## Disallowed contents
|
|
|
|
The following types of content are not allowed to be shared on pixeldrain. They
|
|
will be removed when reported.
|
|
|
|
* **Copyright violation** - Works which are shared without permission from the
|
|
copyright holder. For copyright reports we need a formal DMCA takedown request
|
|
originating from the copyright holder or a representative. See the chapter
|
|
[E-Mail reporting rules](#toc_2) below. When sending a copyright infringement
|
|
notice to our abuse address, please state clearly that it is a copyright
|
|
infringement notice so that we can properly detect the type of report. Using
|
|
words like "theft" or "stolen" won't be detected because they are too vague.
|
|
|
|
* **Abuse of minors** - Videos, images or audio fragments depicting abuse or
|
|
inappropriate touching of minors will be removed. Users uploading this type of
|
|
content will receive a permanent account and IP address ban.
|
|
|
|
* **Zoophilia** - Videos, images or audio depicting abuse or inappropriate
|
|
touching of animals.
|
|
|
|
* **Terrorism** - Videos, images or audio fragments which promote and glorify
|
|
acts of terrorism. This category is only for material which promotes
|
|
terrorism. Material which shows terrorism (torture, murder) should be reported
|
|
under the _gore_ category.
|
|
|
|
* **Gore** - Graphic and shocking videos or images depicting severe harm to
|
|
humans (or animals). I will clarify that I am not strictly against shocking
|
|
content, and it is also not illegal in most places. When a shocking video goes
|
|
viral it often ends up in the wrong places and it can cause mental issues for
|
|
unsuspecting viewers. For that reason I will remove it when it gets reported.
|
|
|
|
* **Malware and computer viruses** - Software programs designed to cause harm to
|
|
computer systems.
|
|
|
|
* **Doxing** - Publishing private information about a individuals or
|
|
organisations. This includes publicly sharing private photos, videos or
|
|
documents. Shaming and extortion are not accepted. This category _does not
|
|
apply_ for material which is sold online for money. In that case you should
|
|
file a copyright claim. Please [read about what doxing really
|
|
means](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing) before filing a report in this
|
|
category.
|
|
|
|
* **Revenge porn** - The distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of
|
|
individuals without their consent. This category _does not apply_ for material
|
|
which is sold online for money. In that case you should file a copyright
|
|
claim. Please [read about what revenge porn really
|
|
means](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_porn) before filing a report in
|
|
this category.
|
|
|
|
Violating these rules will result in your IP address being banned from uploading
|
|
to pixeldrain.
|
|
|
|
If you have found content which falls in any of these categories on pixeldrain
|
|
please report it with the report button on the download page or by sending an
|
|
e-mail. When reporting links through e-mail pay attention to the rules described
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
## E-Mail reporting rules
|
|
|
|
Pixeldrain's abuse handling process has been largely automated. Messages sent to
|
|
[abuse@pixeldrain.com](mailto:abuse@pixeldrain.com) are automatically scanned
|
|
for pixeldrain links and processed. The first report we receive from a sender is
|
|
manually reviewed. If the report is approved then your e-mail address will be
|
|
added to our whitelist and all following messages are processed automatically.
|
|
For this to work efficiently we have to set some requirements on the mails we
|
|
receive:
|
|
|
|
* Messages are categorized based on their contents. Make sure the report
|
|
contains a description of the type of content and that it mentions one of the
|
|
abuse categories listed above. The abuse mailbox only accepts reports written
|
|
in English.
|
|
|
|
* Do not add attachments to your e-mail reports. Only the e-mail body is checked
|
|
for download links. The message scanning system will not check your
|
|
attachments, download links within the attached files are not detected.
|
|
|
|
* Do not obfuscate the pixeldrain links. The reported download links need to be
|
|
complete and valid.
|
|
|
|
* The e-mail must include a
|
|
[Message-ID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-ID) header. The Message-ID
|
|
is used to reference messages in our system, mails without a Message-ID are
|
|
not processed.
|
|
|
|
* The abuse system uses e-mail addresses for authentication so we need to be
|
|
wary of [message spoofing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_spoofing). To
|
|
combat this we require both
|
|
[DKIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail) and
|
|
[SPF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework) validation before
|
|
we can accept e-mails. If either of these checks fail we assume the message
|
|
was spoofed and it goes straight to the spambox. If your message is vulnerable
|
|
to spoofing then the bot will not reply to your message because we don't want
|
|
to send e-mails to spoofed addresses.
|
|
|
|
* Only send abuse reports to
|
|
[abuse@pixeldrain.com](mailto:abuse@pixeldrain.com). Messages sent to any
|
|
other e-mail address are ignored.
|
|
|
|
* Do not repeatedly send reports about files which have already been removed in
|
|
the past. We will block your e-mail address if this happens.
|
|
|
|
If your abuse report is rejected for one of the above reasons then you will
|
|
receive a reply with instructions on how to fix it.
