Staying safe & within the rules

The checks that run before anything you make goes out.

Before a post goes anywhere, it's checked. Most of the time it passes and you'll never see this. When it doesn't, here's what the messages mean.

Why something got stopped

Your persona isn't approved yet

She exists but hasn't been signed off. Add her references and approve her.

There's no permission on file

Either it was never recorded, or it's been withdrawn. If someone withdrew their permission, the right response is to stop — not to add a new record.

The permission doesn't cover this

You have permission for her face but something's trying to use her voice, or similar. Get permission that actually covers it, or don't use that feature.

Your account says "real person" but the face says "made up"

These contradict each other. Either your account setup is wrong, or a real person's face is being used without a proper agreement. Worth stopping to work out which.

This platform needs AI content labelled

You're posting altered content somewhere that requires it to be flagged, and the label isn't there. Add it. This one protects your account more than anything else on the list.

Nobody's approved this yet

The quality score says it looks like her. It doesn't say you're happy for it to be public. That's still your call, and it always will be.

The caption says it's real

Captions claiming "100% real" or "no filters" on altered content get refused. It's the kind of claim that gets accounts removed, and a label elsewhere on the post doesn't fix a false statement inside it.

Reading the quality score

What it says	What it means for you
Match	How much it looks like her overall.
Worst moment	The bit viewers will notice. Pay more attention to this than the average.
Drift	Her face changing between the start and end of a clip.
Flicker	Her face wobbling frame to frame. Usually means the tracking struggled — often fixed by better lighting.
Coverage	How much of the clip got swapped. If it's low, your real face is showing somewhere.

Watch the coverage number. It's the one that matters for your privacy rather than your quality. Anything below full coverage means there are frames where your own face made it through — check them before you post.

What a different face doesn't hide

Worth being blunt, because people get complacent after the first few good clips:

Your body. Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, hands. All unchanged.
Your voice. Recognisable to anyone who knows you.
Your room. Furniture, view from the window, a letter on the side, a pet.
Your patterns. When you post, who you interact with, what you talk about.
Anything already posted. This changes what you make from now on, nothing before.

A different face raises the effort of identifying you enormously. It doesn't make you invisible, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.

The platform still knows who you are

Almost every site requires the account holder to verify their identity before paying out. Your persona is what the audience sees — it isn't a way to be anonymous to the platform, and trying to use it that way will cost you the account and the money in it.
