1. Our Mission & Vision

ChristTube is dedicated to reclaiming our digital stewardship and empowering believers, ministries, and artists to share the Gospel globally. We believe in complete data ownership and a digital experience free from secular algorithmic suppression.

To preserve this digital sanctuary, all members, creators, and organizations on ChristTube must commit to communicating in a way that honors God, respects fellow image-bearers of Christ, and builds up the body of believers.

"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." — Ephesians 4:29

2. Core Pillars of Fellowship

All interactions on ChristTube should be guided by three main biblical principles:

• Truth in Love: We encourage robust discussions, theological study, and sharing biblical truth. However, all truth must be spoken with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15).
• Stewardship: You own your content and your private network. We expect you to steward this digital land with integrity, transparency, and accountability.
• Edification: Our goal is to encourage, educate, and equip the global church. Content designed solely to sow division, mock, or destroy fellow believers is contrary to our mission.

3. Prohibited Content & Behavior

To protect our global family, ChristTube maintains a zero-tolerance policy for behaviors and content that violate biblical integrity, civil laws, or user safety. The following are strictly prohibited on ChristTube:

A. Explicit & Sexually Suggestive Content

• Pornography and Nudity: Absolutely no pornographic material, sexually explicit imagery, or highly suggestive media.
• Sexual Exploitation: Any form of sexual exploitation, particularly involving minors, will result in immediate termination, a permanent IP ban, and reporting to federal law enforcement.
• Purity in Representation: We ask creators to maintain modesty and biblical purity in their thumbnails, profile banners, and stream content.

B. Harassment, Abuse & Bullying

• Personal Attacks: Do not engage in targeted harassment, cyberbullying, doxxing (releasing private information), or coordinated attacks against any individual, leader, or ministry.
• Malicious Speech: While we protect the freedom to express theological viewpoints and biblical teachings, we do not tolerate hate-filled speech, malicious slurs, or incitement to physical violence against any group or individual.

C. Blasphemy & Intentional Desecration

• Respect for the Holy: ChristTube is a platform dedicated to honoring God. Content designed to intentionally blaspheme God, mock the Holy Spirit, desecrate scripture, or maliciously ridicule the Christian faith is strictly prohibited. (This does not restrict respectful theological debate, questioning, or apologetics).

D. Deceptive Practices, Scams & Spam

• Financial Scams: Do not use ChristTube to run unauthorized multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, fraudulent investment opportunities, or deceptive fundraising campaigns. All ministry fundraising must be transparent and verifiable.
• Spamming: Do not flood comments, private messages, or feeds with automated, repetitive, or irrelevant promotional text.

E. Illegal Activities & Violence

• Promoting Harm: Any content that promotes self-harm, suicide, or violence against others will be removed immediately.
• Illegal Goods: The promotion, sale, or distribution of illegal drugs, weapons, or unregulated financial securities is strictly forbidden.

4. Conflict Resolution & The "Matthew 18" Principle

As a Christian platform, we encourage our community to handle interpersonal conflicts and theological disagreements using biblical guidelines:

• Direct Resolution (Matthew 18:15): If you disagree with another creator or feel offended by a comment, we strongly encourage reaching out to them privately and constructively before reporting or making public posts about the issue.
• Reporting to the Platform: If the issue cannot be resolved privately, or if a user is actively violating the safety standards of this policy, please use the Report Button or contact our moderation team directly.
• Accountability: ChristTube moderators will act objectively, seeking to restore rather than simply punish, wherever possible. However, safety and integrity will always be prioritized.

5. Monetization & Ad Standards

Creators on ChristTube enjoy 100% direct revenue monetization and can host third-party ads on their channels. To protect viewers, all self-run ads must comply with the following:

• Ads must not promote services, products, or lifestyles that directly contradict biblical standards (e.g., gambling, explicit entertainment, or deceptive products).
• Ad revenue generated on the platform must not be used to fund illegal or harmful activities.

ChristTube reserves the right to review and disable monetization on channels that repeatedly violate our Community Policy.

6. Policy Enforcement & Appeals

We employ a combination of AI safety filters, community reporting, and human moderation teams to review flagged content. Violations of this policy may result in:

• Content Removal: Specific videos, posts, or comments will be deleted.
• Account Warning: A formal notice detailing the violation.
• Monetization Suspension: Temporary or permanent removal of the ability to earn revenue.
• Account Suspension or Ban: For severe or repeated violations, accounts will be suspended or permanently terminated.
• Appeals Process: If you believe your content was flagged or your account was restricted in error, you may submit an appeal to appeals@christtube.com. We promise a fair, human review of your case within 48 hours.

By joining ChristTube, you agree to uphold this Community Policy. Thank you for helping us build a digital home that honors God and reaches the world.
