Reports should identify the specific content and explain why you believe it is unlawful.

38. Good-Faith Use

This Policy is not intended to prohibit legitimate creator activity, ordinary disagreement, critical feedback, research, discussion or normal use of Winkiloo's features.

Context matters when evaluating whether behaviour is abusive.

Winkiloo's objective is to prevent misuse while preserving useful creator interaction.
