Where moderation runs

Verba validates character text during creation and relevant profile updates. The combined check can include the name, description, age, personality, backstory, beliefs, preferences, system instructions, tags, knowledge entries, and training examples. Image moderation runs on uploaded verb avatars and banners, account profile assets, and group avatars/banners. File type and size validation happens before or alongside content analysis.

Main blocked categories

  • Sexual or exploitative content involving minors
  • Hate speech, protected-group violence, and extremist promotion
  • Characters designed to provide operational illegal-activity assistance
  • Extreme graphic violence, hate symbols, or other prohibited image content
The checks are designed to preserve normal creative, fantasy, historical, prevention, reporting, and survivor-support contexts where they do not promote the prohibited behavior.

Age-aware rules

Characters can represent different ages, but minors have stricter content rules. A character under 18 cannot contain sexualized content, and a character under 16 cannot be configured to use profanity/slang.

Supported profile-image formats

Use JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP. Dashboard upload routes also enforce their surface-specific size limits before saving the final asset.

If content is blocked

  1. Read the returned reason; it usually identifies the affected category.
  2. Remove ambiguous phrasing or imagery and try a simpler safe version.
  3. Keep prevention/reporting context explicit when discussing sensitive topics.
  4. Contact support with the timestamp and screenshot if safe content is still blocked.
Do not repeatedly submit prohibited material to probe the filters. Serious or repeated violations may be logged for platform-safety review.

Visual identity

Prepare avatars and banners that pass format and layout checks.

Account and security
