- Documentation and README-style Markdown pages
Prohibited content & behavior
- Phishing, credential harvesting, or impersonating banks, brands, or login pages
- Malware, exploit kits, crypto drainers, or code designed to harm visitors
- Illegal content or material that violates applicable law
- Spam, SEO manipulation farms, or bulk unsolicited promotion
- Content that infringes copyright, trademark, or third-party rights
- Harassment, doxing, or abusive material targeting individuals

Your responsibilities
You are responsible for all content you publish. Do not upload secrets, API keys, passwords, or personal data you are not authorized to share. Hosted pages are reachable by anyone with the link unless password-protected.
Anonymous pages expire after 24 hours. Sign in to keep pages under your account and plan limits.
Enforcement
We use automated publish-time filters and manual review of user reports. We may remove pages, revoke links, suspend or terminate accounts, and report illegal activity to authorities — with or without notice.
Repeated or severe violations may result in permanent bans and blocking of related identifiers (IP ranges, accounts, API keys).
Reporting violations
See something wrong? Use the Report link on any hosted page or submit details at /report. Include the page slug and a brief description. We prioritize phishing and malware reports.
Appeals
If you believe we removed content in error, contact us via /contact with the page slug and context. We review appeals but are not obligated to restore content that violates this policy.
