1. Originality, permission and credit
Post only content you created, are authorised to share or may lawfully share. Do not remove credit, impersonate a creator, republish paid patterns or imply official approval from a brand, character owner or creator. Respect licence terms and reasonable attribution requirements when referring to another person’s work.
2. Prohibited content
Do not post sexually explicit content, sexual content involving minors, hate or discrimination, violent threats, encouragement of self-harm, extreme gore, illegal transactions, fraud, malware, dangerous challenges, evasion of law enforcement or other content that breaches applicable Malaysian law. Titles, previews and patterns are all covered.
3. Protect privacy
Do not disclose another person’s address, phone number, identity document, account credentials, school class, precise location, private conversation or identifying information without permission. Do not hide such data inside a pattern or code. Report it and contact beadstudiovoice@gmail.com if your or a child’s sensitive data is published.
4. No spam or manipulation
Do not mass-repeat posts, manipulate likes, use multiple accounts to control interactions, trade likes, post fraudulent links, imitate official notices, bypass posting intervals, abuse reports or use scripts and automation to disrupt the community. Categories, titles and previews must honestly represent the work.
5. Respectful interaction
Discussion of work and techniques is welcome, but do not harass, shame, discriminate, threaten, repeatedly target someone or organise attacks on a creator. Different techniques and tastes can coexist. Use the local block feature for creators you do not want to see and report possible violations.
6. Reports, action and appeals
Choose the closest truthful reason and provide necessary context. Do not use reports for retaliation. Reports are recorded for community management; content or accounts are not automatically hidden, deleted or penalised merely for reaching a report count. When human review is available, Bead Studio may keep, hide or remove content and restrict serious or repeat violations. To appeal, email the post link and explanation to beadstudiovoice@gmail.com.
7. Physical bead-craft safety
Follow product instructions for beads, boards and heating tools. Hot irons, hot-air tools and small parts can cause burns, fire or choking risks. Children should have adult supervision, and materials should be kept away from young children and pets. Community posts do not replace product safety instructions.
8. Pre-publication checks and enforcement
Before posting, confirm that the preview is clear, the category is suitable, the name contains no private data and the full pattern opens correctly. Posting means you understand the current Terms of Use, Privacy Notice and these guidelines. Bead Studio considers content, impact, history and available evidence when taking proportionate action, and may restrict features where needed for law or safety.
