Terms of Use & Content Guidelines

Last updated: September 2026 • Rules for collaborative storytelling.

1. User-Generated Content (UGC) License

By submitting any narrative prompt or suggestion to Just Another Salaryman, you grant the project a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to reproduce, adapt, publish, display, and use the text in connection with the story, its archives, research benchmarks, and derivative artistic works.

Research & Open Science Consent: You agree that your submitted prompt text and the model output it produces may be analyzed, scored, and released as public evaluation benchmarks in research on long-horizon memory architectures, character grounding, and drift resilience in large language models. Nicknames are not included in released research datasets. They are stripped before publication. A nickname you choose to enter is still shown publicly on the site itself as attribution for the turn it won, which is its purpose.

2. Content Rating: PG-13 Salaryman Setting

The narrative is calibrated for an ordinary commuter/office life setting with surreal or genre elements. Content must remain suitable for general audiences (PG-13 equivalent). Explicit sexual content, gratuitous violence, hate speech, self-harm, and harassment are strictly prohibited.

3. Bot Defense, Prompt Injections & Abusive Behavior

This site is protected by Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. Submissions attempting to jailbreak, extract system instructions, override character premise, or inject programming scripts are rejected by automated bot defenses, regex heuristics, and Gemini’s native safety filters. Repeat offending IP addresses will be blocked automatically.

4. Community Backstop & Moderation

All users may use the “Report” button next to any turn or prompt to immediately flag objectionable material. The administrators reserve the right to remove any submission or redact any chronicle entry at their sole discretion.
