Community guidelines

Last updated:

Shared around the world is the part of DrawingEZ where people pin their finished pictures on the globe. It is optional and needs no account. What you share is public right away and moderated afterwards. These are all of its rules.

What you can share

  • Your own finished picture, colored in Free color. Color by number looks the same for everyone, so those pictures are not shared.
  • A user name of 3 to 20 characters. It does not have to be unique and you can change it. Your country is shown next to it only if you allow it.
  • A pin on the globe that you place yourself. It is rounded to about 50 km and labeled with a nearby city or region. The app never uses GPS and never asks for your location.
  • A short comment on a shared picture, up to 200 characters. No links and no images.

There are no private messages and no photo uploads. People respond with a heart, a short comment, or by coloring the same page their own way.

What is not allowed

In a picture, a comment or a user name:

  • Anything sexual, violent, hateful or cruel.
  • Bullying or making fun of another person.
  • Personal information: real full names, phone numbers, addresses, account names.
  • Spam, advertising or links.
  • Sharing a picture that someone else colored as if it were yours.

Public right away, moderated afterwards

  1. When you share, an automatic check looks at the picture and the text. What is clearly against these rules is refused, and you get a short, neutral notice.
  2. Everything else is public within seconds: on the globe, in the galleries and on its share link.
  3. No person reviews a picture before it appears. Moderators look at everything that is reported and spot-check new pictures.
  4. A picture, comment or name that breaks these rules is removed when a moderator sees it, with or without a report.

Because pictures appear at once, please use Report when you see something that does not belong here. It is the fastest way to get it removed.

Report anything

Every shared picture, comment and user name has a Report button with these reasons: Not appropriate, Mean or bullying, Spam, Not their own, Other.

  • What you report disappears for you at once.
  • Hidden after reports: when 3 different people report the same item, it is hidden for everyone automatically.
  • A moderator then looks at it and either restores it or removes it for good. Our goal is to do that within 24 hours.

Hide an artist

Hide this artist removes every picture from that person from your globe and galleries. They are not told.

Limits

To keep spam out, one person can currently share up to 10 pictures and write up to 60 comments a day.

Strikes and bans

When a moderator removes your picture, comment or name, you get a strike. With 3 strikes a person can still color, draw and play, but can no longer share, comment or report. For serious cases a moderator can ban a person at once. If you think a decision was wrong, write to [email protected].

Delete my data

There is no account, so there is no account to delete. Instead, Settings › Community › Delete everything removes every picture you shared, your comments, your hearts and your user name from our servers in one step. Your artworks stay in My Art on your device. You can also remove a single shared picture from the same screen.
