Standards / registry

Clear Standards = Trust

This registry does not belong to any formal institution, but it does ask for care. The baseline is simple: link to work you have the right to share, represent yourself honestly, and treat collaborators as people with agency.

Baseline Participation

  • No stolen work, copied portfolios, or passing off someone else's authorship as your own.
  • No harassment, coercion, exploitation, or abuse between artists and collaborators, models, muses, assistants, or audiences.
  • No deceptive representation of identity, authorship, credentials, relationship to a project, or rights to linked work.
  • No entries for solely generative-AI art. Tools may be part of a wider practice, but the record should not exist only to index generated images.
  • Artists should control, own, or have clear permission to link to the work and materials attached to their record.

Consent And Privacy

  • Muses, models, collaborators, and those who identify as erotic workers should be represented with consent and with attention to context.
  • Pseudonyms and project entries are welcome. This registry will not force legal names, exact locations, or private contact paths.
  • Entries can be limited, revised, hidden, or removed when visibility no longer feels right.
  • Trust and safety issues can lead to record removal, especially when there is a pattern of harm or misrepresentation.

How Review Works In This Prototype

Early participation is invite/review-based. Review is meant to keep the registry legible and careful, not exclusive for its own sake. The goal is a public index people can browse with some confidence that entries were added by humans, with permission, and in good faith.

Standards will evolve through use. When harm, confusion, or edge cases appear, the language should become clearer without turning the registry into a cold legal document.
