Community Standards

Draft for review · Last updated 23 August 2026. This document describes how Aurelia World is designed to work. It is a working draft and should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before public launch.

What is welcome

• Original creative work — stories, art, film, podcasts, games, inventions and more — made and shared with care.
• Constructive, kind feedback that helps a young creator improve.
• Honest effort and genuine authorship, including appropriate disclosure of material AI assistance.
• Curiosity, ambition and experimentation, including unfinished work kept privately.

What is never allowed

• Content or conduct that exploits, grooms, endangers, threatens or sexualises a child.
• Sexually explicit, unlawful, hateful, discriminatory, harassing or seriously harmful content or conduct.
• Attempts to contact a child outside approved pathways or to bypass age, identity, permission, moderation or security controls.
• Publishing another person's personal, contact or precise-location information without lawful authority.
• Passing off another person's work as one's own or materially misrepresenting AI-generated work as unassisted authorship.
• Fraud, impersonation, malicious software, scraping, credential theft, security probing or attempts to interfere with the platform.
• Using child data for behavioural advertising, commercial profiling, lead generation or unauthorised solicitation.

Private work and wider sharing

A child's draft is private by default. Requesting to share a project does not itself make the work visible to a wider audience. Where wider sharing is enabled, the project must complete the permission, safety and moderation steps required by the relevant product flow before any approved audience can receive it.

A guardian's approval alone does not publish a project. Features that do not yet have the required protection — including protected media scanning/quarantine — remain unavailable rather than bypassing the safety gate.

Reports, moderation and protective action

Members can report content or conduct through the platform and through our safeguarding and reporting information. GSM may restrict visibility, preserve evidence, remove content, suspend features or accounts, or take other proportionate protective action where reasonably necessary for safety, security, legal compliance or enforcement of these standards.

Automated tools may be introduced to assist with detection or prioritisation only when the relevant feature is actually operational and appropriately governed. We do not describe a safety scan as completed merely because a project has entered a pending state. Human review remains important for moderation decisions affecting wider publication.

Review and appeals

Where appropriate, we aim to explain a removal or restriction to the responsible adult or institutional administrator. A person who believes a decision was made in error can request further human review through our contact page. We may limit information where disclosure could compromise a child-safety, security, legal or law-enforcement investigation.

Standards for adults

Parents, guardians, teachers, administrators, sponsors and 16+ alumni must respect the boundaries of their verified roles. No adult may treat sponsorship, employment, educational authority or community membership as permission to browse a child's private workspace, contact a child outside approved pathways, or extract child data for unrelated purposes. Teachers and administrators must verify achievements honestly and raise serious safety concerns promptly.

Enforcement and legal duties

These standards form part of the Aurelia World Terms of Use. They do not limit GSM's ability or obligation to take additional steps where required by applicable child-safety, privacy, criminal, platform or other law.
