# Avatar Submission Guidelines

This document outlines the requirements and best practices for submitting avatars and wearables to OpenPage.

These guidelines are intended to help creators self-validate their submissions before publishing, reduce compatibility issues, and protect the broader OP ecosystem as it scales.

***

## Overview

OpenPage is designed to be an open, creator-first platform.

To maintain a safe, legally compliant, and technically compatible environment, certain technical and content constraints must be respected.

Following these guidelines helps:

* Reduce submission issues and delays
* Avoid post-publication restrictions or removals
* Maintain long-term compatibility across supported environments

***

## Common Submission Issues

### Avatar Height Requirements

**Supported height range: 1 meter – 2 meters (Z-axis)**

Avatars must be at least **1 meter tall** and no taller than **2 meters**.

Avatars outside this range may:

* Not load reliably in OP viewers
* Create compatibility or performance issues
* Trigger restrictions or removal after submission

**Best practices**

* Measure avatar height prior to submission
* Confirm the Z-axis dimension is between **1m and 2m**
* Use Sideload resizing tools if adjustments are needed
* Re-export and validate dimensions before publishing

> ⚠️ Submissions outside the supported height range may be restricted or removed at any time to preserve platform compatibility.

***

### Intellectual Property (IP) & Originality

All submissions must use **original names, thumbnails, and branding**.

Not allowed:

* Using protected or unauthorized IP in names or branding
* Reusing third-party NFTs, characters, or artwork as thumbnails
* Implying official affiliation, partnership, or endorsement without authorization

Allowed:

* Original characters inspired by general aesthetics
* Parody or stylized inspiration that does not copy protected identity markers
* Fully custom thumbnails and titles

Creators are responsible for ensuring they have rights or permission to use any referenced material.

***

### MML Hosting & Valid URLs

Submissions must include a **valid, properly hosted MML URL**\
(**not** a direct GLB file link).

Common issues:

* Temporary editor-hosted MML links
* Links that expire or change ownership
* Incorrect file type submitted

**What to check**

* Confirm URL resolves to an `.mml` file
* Ensure hosting is stable and long-term
* Test links in a logged-out or private browser session

> OP is actively exploring creator-friendly hosting options. More guidance will be shared as solutions mature.

***

## Platform Content Standards

To maintain a healthy ecosystem, certain types of content are not allowed on OpenPage.

### Prohibited Content Includes

* Content that infringes intellectual property rights
* Stolen or unauthorized digital assets
* Misleading or impersonation-based content
* Content that violates applicable laws or regulations
* Harmful or abusive content, including hate speech or exploitation
* Spam, malicious links, or deceptive distribution tactics

Creators are encouraged to report content that appears to violate these standards.

***

## Potential Platform Actions

If content is found to violate guidelines or platform policies, OpenPage may take actions including:

* Reducing visibility or feature availability
* Disabling monetization or transfer-related functionality
* Removing platform-level discovery or promotion
* Fully removing or disabling content access

These actions may occur at any time to protect users and the ecosystem.

***

## Misleading or Impersonation-Based Content

Content designed to mislead users is not allowed, including:

* Impersonating brands, creators, or public figures
* Fake verification indicators or trust signals
* Content designed to trick users into interacting with malicious links
* Collections or avatars presented as official when they are not

If content is unofficial or inspired by something external, it should be clearly positioned as original or fan-created.

***

## Reporting & Rights Protection

OpenPage respects applicable intellectual property and copyright laws.

If you believe content violates your rights, reports should include:

* Proof of ownership or authorization
* Clear identification of the content in question
* Contact information for follow-up

Repeated or intentional infringement may result in broader account-level restrictions.

***

## Submission Checklist (TL;DR)

Before submitting, confirm:

* ✅ Avatar height is **between 1m and 2m (Z-axis)**
* ✅ Name and thumbnail are **original**
* ✅ MML URL is **valid and properly hosted**
* ⚠️ Submissions may be restricted or removed if guidelines are not met

***

## Creator Responsibility & Platform Integrity

OpenPage aims to remain open and permissionless and does not act as a proactive gatekeeper for all submissions.

Creators are responsible for ensuring their content:

* Meets these guidelines
* Does not introduce legal, technical, or ecosystem-wide risk
* Remains compliant with applicable laws and platform policies

**Submission acceptance does not guarantee permanence.**

Content may be:

* Restricted
* Disabled
* Removed\
  if it is later found to violate policies or introduce risk.

***

## Why These Guidelines Exist

These guidelines are designed to:

* Protect creators from unexpected removals
* Maintain a safe and trusted creator ecosystem
* Preserve an open, self-regulated creation environment

By optimizing for these constraints upfront, creators help ensure a healthier and more sustainable platform for everyone.
