Our services are exclusively intended for an audience above the age of 18. Users who are reasonably suspected to be under the age if 18 will be permanently banned from the platform.

Strict prohibition on minor-coded characters

JanitorAI maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding any content involving characters who are coded, depicted, or described as minors (under 18 years old), including user personas. This policy exists to to safeguard minors and preserve the platform as an adult-only space. All minor-coded content is prohibited and must be removed, and violations may lead to account termination depending on severity. Even if the bot is intended to be wholesome, if the character is under 18 years of age, it is not allowed.


The most severe violations occur when minor-coded characters are involved in NSFW, sexual, or romantic themes. Any such combination, whether conveyed through images, descriptions, or coding results in immediate and permanent account termination. This includes explicit material as well as suggestive or romantic framing involving anyone under 18, regardless of how the content is framed or justified.


Minor-coded NPCs

Minor-coded NPCs are permitted only in limited roles. Even in non-sexual family settings, they must not be given significant coding, featured dialogue in opening messages, or extended action sequences. Their presence should remain minimal and purely contextual, such as brief background references (e.g., "Alicia is user's 10 yo daughter, she has blond hair and loves cats," or mentioning that a character has a teenage child). Detailed coding, interactive focus, or narrative emphasis is not allowed and interaction opportunities with minor characters must not be facilitated.


Visual and Descriptive Requirements

Stating that a character is 18 or older does not automatically establish compliance. Age representation must be supported consistently across visuals and text. If an image appears to depict someone under 18, it will be replaced with a placeholder regardless of any adult age coding. Similarly, if a character's age is left unspecified, described vaguely, or paired with details that contradict an adult status, the character will be treated as underage for enforcement purposes. Any inconsistency that calls the stated adult age into question renders the content non-compliant. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • References to guardianship or being supervised by "adults"
  • Compulsory schooling typical of minors
  • Framing the character as a "teenager"
  • Separation language such as "the adults" vs. the character
  • Excessive emphasis on innocence, purity, virginity, naivety, childlike behavior, or lack of understanding of basic bodily or sexual functions, especially if paired/accompanied by repeated use of minor-coded descriptors such as "childish," "tiny," "petite", "innocent," or similar language


Basically, if we cover or exclude the age and the characters is described in a way that gives the overall impression of being a minor, it will be considered one.


The underlying principle across all minor-related policies is that both visual presentation and textual description must clearly, consistently, and unambiguously establish that all characters, including user's persona, are adults. Age designation must align with behavior, setting, relationships, and contextual cues. When any element, visual, narrative, or coded creates ambiguity or contradiction regarding a character's age, the content violates our policies.


Creators are responsible for ensuring that every component of a character's design, including images, descriptions and coded behaviors, consistently presents adult characters to avoid any potential policy violations.


Aging up Minor Characters

Characters who are canonically under 18 in their original source material may not appear in their underage form. Aging up such characters is allowed only when done clearly, thoroughly, and consistently. The character must be explicitly identified as 18 or older within the personality or description, but a numerical age alone is insufficient.


All narrative elements must reflect a genuine adult life stage. Settings, roles, and circumstances associated with being a minor (as previously established) are not acceptable for an aged-up portrayal. The character's maturity, history, and interactions must reasonably correspond to adulthood.


Visual representation must also depict a convincingly mature, adult version of the character. Official or third-party artwork that presents the character as underage cannot be used, even if the text claims they are an adult. If an aged-up portrayal lacks consistency or credibility, the character will be treated as their original underage version under these guidelines.


The responsibility for demonstrating a clear, consistent, and credible age-up rests entirely with the creator. Any character that fails to meet all previously established criteria will be treated as a minor under these guidelines and removed from the platform.


Age regression and Age Play

Age play and age regression are distinct concepts with different policy implications, and creators are expected to understand this distinction before incorporating age-related themes.


Age play refers to consenting adults roleplaying different ages while fully retaining their adult mental capacity, autonomy, and ability to consent. This type of content is permitted only when all participants are clearly and unambiguously adults, and when no character relinquishes adult reasoning, judgment, or decision-making ability at any point. All characters must remain mentally and legally adults throughout the scenario.


Age regression, by contrast, involves a character mentally reverting to a younger psychological state or diminished developmental capacity. This includes portrayals in which a character adopts a childlike mindset, loses adult reasoning ability, or presents as a "younger alter," including so-called "little" alters in Dissociative Identity Disorder contexts. Such portrayals are prohibited and fall under our minor content restrictions, regardless of the character's stated physical age.


The determining factor is mental capacity. If a character no longer retains full adult cognition, autonomy, and decision-making ability, the content will be treated as minor-coded and is not permitted. Only roleplay scenarios in which all characters maintain clear, continuous adult mental capacity are allowed.
