Creator Network Rules
Version 2026-09-01 · Last updated 1 September 2026
The creator network puts real people in touch with each other, sometimes in person. These rules exist for that reason.
Be who you say you are
Use your real professional identity. Do not impersonate another creator, use someone else's work as your own, or misrepresent your experience.
A connected Instagram account shows that someone controlled that account at a point in time. It is not a verification of identity, safety or skill, and you should not treat it as one.
Collaboration requests
A request is a professional approach, not a message thread. Send one short note explaining what you are proposing.
Do not send repeated requests to someone who declined, and do not use requests for solicitation, sales pitches or romantic approaches.
New accounts and high-volume senders are rate limited.
Meeting in person
Outbox Loop does not vet the people on it. Use your judgement: meet in public first where you can, tell someone where you are going, and stop if something feels wrong.
Your location is only ever shown as a city and an approximate distance you choose. Never publish your home address or accommodation, and note that travel plans are for a destination area, not where you are staying.
Not allowed
Sexual solicitation, or any sexual approach framed as a professional opportunity.
Requests involving anyone under 18. Outbox Loop is 18+ only.
Fake projects, unpaid work advertised as paid, or bait for personal data.
Harassment, hate speech, or sharing someone's private information.
Reporting and moderation
You can block anyone, which removes you from their view entirely, and report a profile, project or request with a reason.
We review reports and may warn, limit discovery, remove content or suspend an account. We record what we decided and why.
If we act against you we will tell you the reason, and you can appeal. Appeals are reviewed by someone other than the original decision maker where practical.
