Community Guidelines

❤ We would like to first express our gratitude for all our loyal users and we cannot be more proud of all of you. Your creativity, originality, creative coloring skills, and especially your compassion and supportive attitude to each other are the reason why we are working hard every day to ensure that we are all in this together to make Color Therapy the most vibrant creative place for all our users. ❤

At Color Therapy, we truly believe that expressing creativity is a positive, wonderful, and healthy experience for everyone. We also believe that Coloring as a form of art makes this world a better place by connecting and inspiring users from all over the world regardless of their differences. Our vision is to connect millions of users through art creation and to inspire more and more people to use Color Therapy as their "Go-To" place to express their creativity and provide a therapeutic experience for everybody.

To ensure a creative, supportive, and positive environment for all users, Color Therapy App follows these strict Community Guidelines.

☆ Bullying, insulting, harassment, malicious comments (swearing and using inappropriate language), and spreading nasty rumors that threaten the stability of the community: Do not start or encourage any kind of hate speech, about: disability, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Do not insult, harass, abuse, or intimidate others. Do not make (false) accusations about the people you dislike for whatever reason and do not spread nasty rumors about Color Therapy or any user. If someone is doing that to you - do not start the "fight" or "war" - there is NO EXCUSE like: "She/he started and I was just responding and defending myself or someone else". If someone is bullying, harassing or abusing you or someone you know - report that user, post or comment and we will deal with it

☆ Spam, Plagiarism, and Inappropriate posts: Do not post images from other coloring tools or applications. Do not post images that are not related to Color Therapy colorings. Do not copy/screenshot anyone's artworks, do not post it on your profile as your own, do not color it exactly the same. Remember, someone spent time and worked very hard on creating it. You can use a coloring you like as an inspiration and try to learn a new skill, but stealing and copying is not an excuse. Any artwork that's copied or plagiarized will be removed and repeated violations will result in your account being banned.

We would like to emphasize that Color Therapy is a coloring app first and foremost. With Color Therapy, people turn their anxieties into beautiful artworks through the colorings templates and tools that we provide. 

The following content is considered as spam in our app and will be removed:

• Asking for likes/follows/shoutouts;
• Images that consist only or mainly of text, such as messages, memes, roleplaying, stories, questions and answers, personal messages, “I’m bored, suggest me a song” etc. (Text can be a part of a picture as long as it is a part of the artwork (eg. quotes or lyrics));
• Any artwork comments and accounts that are clearly created with the intention to search for relationships.

☆ Don't be just another "drama queen" and "don't feed the troll": Troll and drama go "well" one with another. Troll loves drama and will do "whatever it takes" to create it anywhere/everywhere. If you feel you cannot find any friendly solution with someone - just simply ignore, and if needed - report to us, and we will sort it out.

☆ Don't be "Challenge Content Police" or "Original Content Police" for others: If someone made some mistake, didn't follow the challenge rules, or if someone plagiarized your or someone else's artworks, please don't cause a scene. Instead, in both cases, send a report and leave the policing to Color Therapy. We assure you that artwork that is not following our rules will not win the challenge. Please note that we take plagiarism and stealing very seriously.

☆ Please use " Report" option for any problems: We will remove plagiarized images, inappropriate comments, abusive contents, etc. and we will try to sort things out in the best way possible - if particular users continue making a mess after the warning, they will be banned from the app.

☆ Be compassionate, be supportive, be kind: We created the Color Therapy community with the main vision to connect and inspire millions of people around the world by providing a positive, creative, and uplifting environment. So any words and attitudes that attack and discourage other people regardless of whatever the reason might be are prohibited. Remember, no matter the circumstances, people have their own challenges in life, and nobody's perfect. When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself. So please, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

☆ Challenges: Please, read carefully the challenge rules and restrictions before you submit your artwork. The images that do not follow the rules will be disqualified. Do not post whatever just to get more likes and followers - it doesn't go that way. People who are browsing through the challenge posts want to see challenge's ideas and some really good artworks that hit the topic in an amazing way. All Color Therapy challenges are made as a personal challenge to be better than your previous self, not only as a "popularity contest". Also, remember that practice makes perfect, the more you spend time on improving your creative skill, the better your artwork will be, in turn, increases the chance of your artwork being liked and recognized by others.

☆ Do not try to get attention by promoting suicidal and violent ideas: That is not cool, this is the internet, and you are just stressing people around who cannot help you. If you do not feel well for real - please contact your friends, family or doctor - or even contact us, we will talk to you and try to help - but do not post about it on your profile or in comments below anyone's images.

☆ Pornography and sexually explicit material: Color Therapy app is coloring application, not one more place for sharing semi-nude or nude photos. Everything in this category will be removed and repeated violations will result in your account being banned.

☆ Submit the appropriate (redone) colorings, drawings, and photos for different audiences: We understand that it is possible that someone wants to share naked colorings/drawings that are artistic or creative, but for various reasons, we do not allow nudity on Color Therapy. This nudity includes colorings redone to show nudity, drawings, and photos, showing full-length exposure to sex, genitals, and part of the ass. Nudity also includes some redone colorings, drawings, or photos of female nipples. Photographs of famous paintings and statues of naked people are still allowed. Nursing women too.
For safety reasons, we may delete an image showing nudity or some nudity of the child. We know this content is shared in good faith, but this content can be used by others in unexpected ways.

☆ Violence, gore, and mutilation: Color Therapy is an anti-stress coloring application - so anything that causes even more stress to anyone is not allowed here. So do not post anything with blood, wounds, guts, dead animals, etc.

☆ Religious or political posts are prohibited: Any posts that contain political or religious content will be removed. Hate posts against any religion or political organization/figures will be removed as well.
