Image Content Policy

What you can share on THE CAGE, where you can share it, and how our content standards work.

What kind of images can I share on THE CAGE?

THE CAGE uses a four-tier content framework: Clean, Nudity, Explicit, and Prohibited. Here's a quick summary:

  • Clean: clothed images, fetish fashion, gear, leather, latex on a covered body, bare male chest, swimwear, lingerie, suggestive-but-covered poses, kissing, consensual marks or rope with no lasting harm. Permitted everywhere, including public areas.
  • Nudity: visible female breasts or nipples, bare buttocks (any gender), full nudity with no genitals or anus visible and no sexual act shown. Permitted in the logged-in members area only, not on publicly visible profiles or blogs.
  • Explicit: any visible genitals or anus, any sexual act real or simulated, a toy used on or in a body, ejaculation or sexual fluids. Not permitted anywhere on the platform; will be removed.
  • Prohibited: any image involving a person under 18, non-consent, incest, bestiality, scat, death or snuff, graphic violence or mutilation, weapons in intimate content. Absolutely prohibited; removed immediately and escalated where required by law.

For the full details, please read our Content Policy.

Is there a difference between how male and female nudity is treated?

The only gender distinction in our framework relates to the chest. A bare male chest is clean content and is permitted everywhere. Visible female breasts or nipples are nudity-level content and are restricted to the members-only area. Everything else (buttocks, genitals, and sexual acts) is assessed identically regardless of gender.

What does "members-only area" mean in practice?

The members-only area means any part of the site that requires a logged-in, age-affirmed account to access. If your profile or blog is set to visible to registered users only, nudity-level content is permitted there. If your profile or blog is publicly visible (meaning anyone visiting THE CAGE can see it without logging in), nudity-level content must not appear there. You can restrict your profile and blog to registered users only in your blog settings and in Preferences. If you are unsure whether your content is publicly visible, check your privacy settings before posting.

Can I post images of other people?

Only with their explicit consent. You must not post images of other individuals (whether members of THE CAGE or not) without their knowledge and agreement. This applies regardless of the content level of the image. If someone asks you to remove an image of them, you must do so promptly.

I'm not sure if my image is allowed. What should I do?

If you are unsure, don't post it. You are welcome to contact us at support@thecage.co for guidance before uploading. Ask yourself: am I confident this is allowed? If the answer is anything other than yes, check with us first.

What is THE CAGE's policy on images involving minors?

The protection of minors is our highest priority. No image of a person under 18 is permitted anywhere on the platform under any circumstances, including non-sexual images. There are no exceptions. This applies in any medium: drawings, renders, and AI-generated imagery are treated exactly like photographs where the depiction is sexualised. If you are unsure whether a person in an image could be under 18, do not post it.

What should I do if I see content that I think involves a minor?

Report it immediately using the report function on the relevant content, or contact a staff member directly. Do not wait: if you are unsure, report it and let our team assess it. Reports involving suspected minors are our highest priority.

How do I report a piece of content that I think violates the rules?

You can report any content using the report button on the relevant post, image, or profile. Our moderation team will review the report and take action where necessary. Please make sure you are confident a piece of content is in violation before reporting; abuse of the reporting system is not tolerated and may result in sanctions against the reporter.

My blog post was removed following a report. Can I appeal?

Yes. If a post of yours is removed following a report, an alert marker appears on your blog. Open it to see the report and submit an appeal directly from that page. Our team will review your appeal and you will receive the outcome by email.

My image or content was removed for another reason. Can I appeal?

Yes. If a photo was restricted under our Content Policy, the fastest way to appeal is your Review my photos page, where you can request a human review with one click. For anything else, contact us at support@thecage.co with details of the content removed and your reasons for requesting a review. We will consider all appeals fairly.

Does THE CAGE use automated tools to review images?

Yes. Uploaded images are assessed by automated tools. Content identified as not meeting our standards may be automatically restricted from display. If that happens to your content, you can always request a human review; appeals are reviewed by a person, and account-level actions are only ever taken by a human member of our team.

Where can I read the full Content Policy?

You can read our full Content Policy here. We recommend all members read it before uploading any images or media to the platform.
