Failure to follow the workshop rules will get your workshop content removed.

Condo Rules

Condos may contain custom content that may not be suitable for all ages.

You can use the Content controls found in the Settings menu to narrow down what custom content (“Workshop models”) and images (“Canvases”) you feel comfortable downloading.

By default, when you join a Condo, you will be prompted to either trust or not trust the player’s Canvas data. You can quickly untrust condos using the Tab menu and the canvas data will be made hidden and cleared completely.

Condo Moderation

When joining other player condos, it’s important to understand that condos are user hosted, and are not moderated by PixelTail except for extreme cases.

Condos are player hosted servers and may contain content not suitable for all ages.

We may, at our discretion and with no notice, temporarily or permanently take Condos off the condo server list/hub or limit condo permissions if we (based on evidence and user reports) find the condos contain content we find unacceptable. Some examples include, but are not limited to:

underage characters performing sexual acts or is nude/exposed
hate speech or racism
excessive harassment or doxxing of another user

Reporting Condos

If you feel a condo is a harm to you or others, please report to our email: bans@pixeltail.com.

Illicit materials should be reported to law enforcement - not to us. We will remove Condos with illegal content or activity.

In cases of hate speech concerns, please provide some evidence when sending the email.
