Kik Streamers,

We are so thankful for each and every one of you, and we want you all to be successful on Kik! At the same time, we have to ensure that Live remains a clean, safe environment that is open and welcoming to all users.

Consistent with our practice to periodically remind you where the lines are, below is a summary of the types of content that can get you suspended from Live or removed from entirely. It’s not exhaustive, but it should give you an idea. Some offenses may result in immediate account deletion, while others may require multiple suspensions before we’ll delete an account.

When in doubt, please err on the side of clean: don’t try to live on the very edge of the line.
