All images generated on My Spicy Vanilla are subject to automated moderation. We review generated images to ensure they comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and the requirements of our payment processors. We appreciate your understanding — this process helps keep our platform safe and accessible for everyone.
Images are checked when they are generated and re-scanned on a schedule afterwards with the current rules. An image that passed an older check is removed if today's rules would block it, and it is kept for 30 days after removal so you can ask us to review the decision.
This page covers images. The full moderation pipeline for prompts, chapters, characters, plugins, and audio is described on our Trust and Safety page.
What We Flag
Our moderation system is specifically designed to detect and flag the following:
We have a zero-tolerance policy for any generated image that depicts or appears to depict babies, infants, children, teenagers, or anyone who looks like they could be under 18. This includes characters with childlike features such as small body size, youthful facial features, or any visual traits that could suggest a minor.
Prompts are checked before an image is made. A prompt that includes anyone under 18 in any role, even clothed and in the background, or that asks for youthful or childlike features on a character, is rejected and no image is generated.
This is a strict policy driven by payment processor requirements, and one we enforce without exceptions.
Images are also flagged for other violations of our Acceptable Use Policy, including depictions of extreme violence, non-consensual acts, and other prohibited content.
How to Avoid Being Flagged
If you're unsure why your images were flagged, here are some tips to help you stay within our guidelines:
Make sure your character descriptions clearly reflect adult features. Set character ages to at least 21–24 and avoid any descriptors that could suggest a minor.
Be mindful of body-type descriptors. Terms like "petite," "tiny," "small," or "delicate" — even when describing an adult character — can cause the moderation system to flag the image. The same applies to fantasy characters with unusually small proportions (e.g., fairy-sized or miniature characters). If your story involves characters with smaller body types, try emphasizing mature facial features, taller stature, or other adult traits in the description to offset any ambiguity.
Also avoid descriptors like "youthful," "innocent-looking," "baby-faced," or similar terms that may be interpreted as childlike.
We recommend avoiding themes and settings that are commonly associated with children, as they can trigger our moderation system. These include:
- Family settings (parents with young children, family gatherings)
- Schools, classrooms, or campus environments
- Playgrounds, parks, or amusement parks
- Slumber parties or sleepovers
- Babysitting or childcare scenarios
- Birthday parties with childlike decorations
- Summer camps or youth activities
