the one exception
There is exactly one rulebook. Its scope is public. Its patterns are not.
Demimonde does not censor. The single exception is a minimal, auditable legal floor protecting the project's existence — three categories, no ML classifiers, no sentiment scoring, no hidden lists. What each category covers is stated plainly below.
01 · Child sexual abuse material
Any request for sexual content involving minors, in any phrasing we can detect. This is non-negotiable and permanent.
02 · Mass-casualty weapon synthesis
Synthesis, manufacture or weaponization instructions for agents of mass casualties — biological, chemical, nuclear. Historical or scientific discussion passes; kitchen-sink recipes do not.
03 · Imminent threats to identifiable persons
Credible, specific threats against identifiable people. Fiction and roleplay pass; "I'm going to kill my boss tomorrow" does not.
The Floor applies everywhere: web chat, the API, and the system prompts callers inject. Matched requests receive a standardized refusal and are never forwarded to the model. We log the rule id and a salted, daily-rotating hash — never the content.
Why the patterns stay private
Publishing the exact matching rules would hand evaders a working checklist: every synonym, spelling trick and uncovered language, pre-tested against us. The first version of this page did publish them, and was circumvented exactly that way, so the rulepack is now withheld. The scope, the categories, the refusal behavior and the version number remain public and honest. When the rules change, the version bumps and the changelog says so — without the diff.
Report a violation
If you believe something on the service falls inside one of these three categories, write to [email protected] or use the reporting page. Legal-floor reports are acknowledged within 48 hours.
The Floor forms part of the Terms of Service; the Spanish version governs where the two differ.
