Rats is for skaters. Post your clips, stamp your parks, battle for crowns, and gas up other skaters. Keep it fun and keep it real. These rules keep Rats a place people actually want to skate with. Break them and your clip can get pulled or your account suspended or banned.
The short version: don't be a hazard to other people.
No harassment or bullying. Don't pile on, target, or threaten anyone. Beef gets settled with a game of SKATE, not abuse.
No hate. Nothing that attacks people for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or similar. Not welcome here.
No threats or violence. Don't threaten to hurt anyone or encourage violence.
Nothing sexual involving minors — ever. Zero tolerance. This is reported to the authorities.
No nudity or sexual content posted to shock or where it doesn't belong, and never intimate images of someone without their consent.
No doxxing. Don't post anyone's private info — address, phone, exact location, etc. A check-in shows the park, not someone's front door. Keep it that way.
Skate smart. Don't post content that encourages trespassing, skating in genuinely dangerous or off-limits spots, or hurting yourself or bystanders for clout. Know your spot and your limits.
No spam or scams. No bots, no mass-follow/mass-comment, no fake giveaways, no junk links.
No impersonation. Don't pretend to be another skater, a brand, or Rats.
Nothing illegal. Don't use Rats to do or promote crime.
Respect copyright. Only post footage and music you have the right to use. Most music streaming apps don't give you the right to repost their songs in someone else's video, even a clip of yourself skating — so if a track came from a streaming service and you don't otherwise have the rights to it, leave it out. When you post, you can turn on "Upload without sound" to strip a clip's audio instead of picking a different soundtrack. Copyright owners can report infringement under our DMCA Copyright Policy, and accounts that repeatedly infringe are terminated.
Don't cheat the game. No faking your location, no gaming stamps, visits, Locals, or battles.
Don't attack the app. No hacking, scraping, breaking rate limits, or messing with other people's accounts or data.
Depending on how serious it is, we may remove the content, give a warning, temporarily suspend you, or permanently ban you. Serious or illegal content (especially anything involving minors) is removed immediately and reported where the law requires. Admin actions are logged. If you think we got it wrong, you can reach out — we're listening.
Tap 🚩 on any clip to report it, or block a user from their profile. Blocking cuts off following, comments, and likes both ways.
Skate safe. Have fun. Don't be a hazard.
