Hey!

floatin-on-bespin:

It seems like a lot of people don’t know what constitutes an AO3 TOS violation. 

Things you CAN submit an abuse ticket for: 

  •  Fics that include copyrighted images 
  • Someone linking their Ko-fi or Patreon somewhere on AO3 (including in their profile)
  • Incorrect archive tags (meaning: Rating/Archive Warning/Language/Fandom/Relationship tags. All other tags are at the author’s discretion) 
  • Plagiarism 
  • Works that have been posted multiple times 
  • Inappropriate user icons 
  • Things that are NOT a work (ex: fic rec lists, PSA’s, streaming links, etc)
  • Spam

Things you CANNOT submit an abuse ticket for:

  • Underage fics 
  • Noncon/dubcon fics 
  • Fics that contain the above content that are labeled with the ‘Choose not to Warn’ or ‘Not Rated’ tags 

Reblog to spread the word!! People knowing this would make the AO3 staff’s job much easier.
