GPark serves as a dynamic platform, empowering users, creators, and builders to connect and unleash creativity beyond physical limits. Our aspiration is to cultivate a thriving community, fostering creativity, free expression, and meaningful connections through the potent combination of play and accessibility to the metaverse.
However, in prioritizing a secure environment for our community, we uphold stringent boundaries. Content or conduct that compromises the safety of fellow users is not tolerated at GPark.
Our Community Guidelines extend to all facets of our platform, encompassing IDs, bios, handles, hashtags, comments, feed, posts, live streams, video content (including descriptions), Crews, Studio items, Booth, World, and any other GPark product or feature. External links directing users to other sites or forms are also subject to these guidelines.

We urge users to honor both the letter and spirit of our Community Guidelines, fostering a respectful and secure environment for all.
Minor Safety
Ensuring the safety of minors is a paramount concern for GPark. Violating our guidelines on minor safety constitutes one of the gravest offenses within the GPark community. GPark unequivocally prohibits any sexual, suggestive, or abusive content involving individuals under the age of 18, or anyone appearing to be a minor, including digitally-created GPark avatars.
We take immediate and permanent action, including banning accounts, against those involved in Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA). Instances of such violations are promptly reported to relevant authorities. Furthermore, we extend our scrutiny to off-platform behaviors, considering credible evidence of harmful conduct towards minors.
For guardians, our comprehensive Guardian's Guide outlines safety measures and provides recommendations to ensure the well-being of young users on GPark. To gain deeper insights into GPark's commitment to the safety of young users, we invite you to explore our Safety Center Blog.
In line with these commitments, we emphasize what not to do on our platform:

Suicide or Self-harm
The well-being of every member of our community is a matter of deep concern for us at GPark, encompassing users, creators, and builders alike. Recognizing the significance of mental health awareness, we acknowledge that sharing experiences related to contemplating self-harm can be a means of seeking support.
However, we are acutely aware of the potential impact that content on suicide or self-harm may have on those who encounter it. Therefore, we exercise caution and limit content that could inadvertently encourage such behaviors.
For clarity, we define suicide as the act of taking one's life, and self-harm includes acts of self-injury and eating disorders. Our guidelines expressly prohibit content that depicts, encourages, routinizes, or glorifies behaviors that may lead to suicide, self-harm, or disability. This encompasses graphic images or digital depictions of self-harm, as well as sensitive or hurtful content targeting individuals who have experienced suicide, self-harm, or are survivors.
In instances where individuals are grappling with suicidal thoughts or self-harm, or if you are aware of someone in such a situation, we strongly recommend immediate contact with local emergency services or a suicide prevention organization. Our commitment extends to alerting local emergency services when we identify credible and immediate threats of suicide or self-harm. Moreover, upon awareness of users contemplating these issues, we may direct them to our Crisis Resources page.
Do not:
- Promote, glorify, or normalize suicide or self-harm.
- Provide instructions on suicide or self-harm.
- Post graphic content or descriptions of suicide or self-harm.
By adhering to these guidelines, we collectively contribute to maintaining a supportive and considerate environment within our community.
