Using Mature Content in your Artist Shop
To provide better customer experience with Artist Shops, we've added a Mature Content button to the product creation process. This allows you to select if your design content may be sensitive to some customers. Under the Add Product page, you'll see a section for Mature Content with two options. Select Yes if your design contains mature content that may be sensitive to some customers or No if your design does not contain any mature content.
We ask that you use your best judgment when choosing whether or not your work contains mature content that may not be suitable for some audiences or may be considered inappropriate. By doing so, we want to pave the way for a better shopping experience for marketplace customers and tailor their shopping experience to include or exclude mature content with future search updates. You will also soon be able to mark previously uploaded designs as mature. Once these features are added to Artist Shops, any mature content that is not flagged appropriately may be subject to removal.
Keep in mind, per the Threadless Community Guidelines, you may not:
- Upload, post, email or otherwise transmit any material that is libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, defamatory, pornographic, sexually explicit, unlawful or plagiarized;
- Upload, post, email or otherwise transmit any material that a reasonable person would consider harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, profane, obscene, excessively violent, or racially or ethnically offensive;
Even if the content is marked as mature, a design may be subject to removal if it violates the above guidelines.
