Content Guidelines

Last updated: May 1, 2026

What you can and can't list, stream, or post on Indie Comics Live.

These guidelines apply to every listing, livestream, profile, chat message, and other user-generated content on Indie Comics Live.

1. Allowed Content

  • Indie comics (print and digital), back issues, variants, sketch covers;
  • Original art, cover art, prints, and ashcans;
  • Adult / NSFW comics and art books that comply with the NSFW Policy;
  • Trading cards (sports, TCG) and slabs (CGC, PSA, BGS);
  • Manga, webtoons, art books, and zines.

2. Prohibited Content

  • Anything depicting minors in a sexual or sexualized context. This is an absolute, zero-tolerance rule;
  • Stolen property, counterfeit items, or items you do not have the right to sell;
  • Items that infringe trademark or copyright;
  • Weapons, ammunition, controlled substances, prescription drugs, vape products;
  • Hate speech, hate symbols, or material that promotes violence against any protected class;
  • Content depicting non-consensual acts or content created without the depicted person’s consent;
  • Items prohibited by federal, state, or local law in either the seller’s or buyer’s jurisdiction.

3. Livestream Conduct

  • Sellers must remain present during their show and supervise chat;
  • No sexual contact, masturbation, or explicit sexual performance on camera. Static depictions of adult comic art in NSFW shows is allowed within the NSFW Policy;
  • No harassment of buyers or other sellers in chat;
  • No off-platform payment requests (PayPal F&F, Venmo, Zelle, crypto, etc.) — this is grounds for permanent ban.

4. Reporting Violations

Use the report flow on any listing, message, or stream. Or email trust@indiecomicslive.com.

5. Enforcement

Violations result in content removal, suspension, or permanent ban depending on severity. CSAM is reported to NCMEC and to law enforcement; the responsible account is permanently banned and the IP is added to our blocklist.
