Official Community Rules
Community Guidelines
Appsinity Store exists to give game developers a free platform to share their work and to give players a safe, exciting place to discover and download games. For that to work at scale, every developer, player, and community member must follow a shared set of rules. These guidelines define what is expected, what is not allowed, and what may happen when rules are broken. They apply to all persons using Appsinity Store in any capacity. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Teen-Safe by Default
Section 1 โ Developer Guidelines
Every developer who creates an account and publishes a game or application on Appsinity Store is expected to follow professional publishing, build integrity, intellectual property, and conduct standards. Access to a free public publishing platform carries responsibility for everything uploaded, described, linked, and communicated through the service. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
1.1 Game Listing Standards
A game listing is the first thing a player sees and it must honestly and accurately represent the game at all times. Titles, descriptions, screenshots, icons, banners, supported platforms, and category tags must all match the actual content being distributed. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Allowed
- Use the gameโs real title.
- Write a description that accurately reflects gameplay and features.
- Upload real screenshots taken directly from the game.
- Use an icon and banner that visually represent the game.
- Use only categories and tags that genuinely apply.
- Update the listing when the game changes significantly.
Not Allowed
- Fake or misleading titles designed only to attract clicks.
- Descriptions that do not match the actual download.
- Screenshots from a different game or altered to mislead users.
- False platform support claims.
- Irrelevant tags used only to appear in unrelated searches.
- Significantly outdated listings left live without correction.
1.2 Download and Build Standards
The download link provided by a developer is the file players receive. Developers are fully responsible for the file behind the download button. Builds must match the listing, remain free of harmful software, and stay correctly linked when hosted on third-party services such as Google Drive or Dropbox. Security issues must be resolved promptly by updating or removing the affected build. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
1.2.1 Gallifai Safety Scanning
Appsinity uses Gallifai, an AI-assisted safety system, to actively scan games after they are uploaded or submitted for publication. Gallifai helps detect malware, suspicious files, deceptive builds, and other harmful material. If Gallifai or a manual review identifies a serious safety risk, Appsinity may remove the game, restrict access, or take enforcement action against the developer account.
1.2.2 Developer Identity and Support Details
To help players stay safe and contact the correct publisher, Appsinity may show limited developer details on public listings. Personal or individual developer accounts may show the developer's first name, country, and support email address. Company accounts may show the company name, country, support email address, and registered company type, such as Pvt. Ltd., Corp., Inc., or another applicable business classification.
1.3 Intellectual Property Rules
Developers must own or have full rights to all content they publish. This includes game builds, art, code, logos, music, fonts, and sound effects. Appsinity takes intellectual property seriously and will act on valid takedown claims. Impersonation of another studio, developer, or brand is prohibited, and repeated IP violations may result in permanent account removal. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
1.4 Content Standards for Games
Appsinity Store is a teen-safe platform by default. Mild fantasy violence and clearly tagged horror content appropriate for teens may be allowed, while realistic gore, sexually explicit material, hate content, and gambling systems that target minors are prohibited. Strong language should be clearly tagged where applicable. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
1.5 Communication and Conduct as a Developer
Developers must communicate with players and the Appsinity team professionally. Aggressive or retaliatory responses to reviews, spam use of notification systems, fake review manipulation, and impersonation of platform staff are not permitted. How a developer communicates reflects on both their brand and the wider platform. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Section 2 โ Player Guidelines
Players are central to the Appsinity ecosystem. To preserve a positive experience for everyone, players must follow rules concerning downloading behaviour, reviews, respectful conduct, and reporting systems. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
2.1 Downloading Games
- Download games only for personal, non-commercial use unless the developer clearly permits otherwise.
- Do not redistribute, re-upload, repackage, or resell any downloaded game without written developer consent.
- Understand that Gallifai helps scan uploaded or submitted games, but automated scanning is not a guarantee that every unsafe file will be detected.
- Scan files with antivirus software before installation, especially where third-party hosting is used.
- Report any build that contains unexpected software or does not match its listing.
- Do not use bots or automated tools to mass-download platform content. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
2.2 Ratings and Reviews
Ratings and reviews help players make informed choices and give developers genuine feedback. Reviews must reflect real experience with the game and remain constructive, specific, and respectful. Spam, fake reviews, review bombing, abuse, and reviews used to advertise unrelated products or services are prohibited. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Allowed
- Rate games you have actually downloaded and played.
- Write reviews that reflect genuine experience.
- Be constructive and respectful, even in negative feedback.
- Update your review if the game improves after an update.
Not Allowed
- Reviews for games you have not played.
- Spam, gibberish, or repeated review posting.
- Coordinated downvoting or rating manipulation.
- Harassment, insults, or personal attacks on developers.
2.3 Community Behaviour
Users must not harass, bully, threaten, discriminate against, or doxx other people on the platform. Respectful interaction is expected across all community and developer-facing spaces. Unsolicited attempts to recruit users away from the platform through promotional messaging are also prohibited. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
2.4 Reporting Violations
Users should report content that appears to violate these guidelines. Urgent safety issues, such as malware in a downloadable build, should be reported immediately through the official support email. Abuse of the reporting system, including false reports made simply because a user dislikes a game, is itself a violation. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
