Code of Conduct For Talents

Understanding Your Public Presence

Performers must fully acknowledge their public identity when appearing on streaming platforms. Every public statement or performance can be viewed, recorded, and scrutinized. Therefore, we require all hitorino.tv performers to:

• Act with Caution and Discretion: Carefully manage your speech and actions in public, never allowing personal emotions or private affairs to negatively affect your public image.
• Strict Community Management: Maintain a healthy and orderly fan community; refrain from disseminating any content that might negatively impact other performers, groups, companies, or individuals.

A credible and firmly upheld code of conduct prevents us from becoming mere entertainers or "clowns," instead allowing us to become respected and admired idols. We firmly believe positive public influence can contribute beneficially to society. Therefore, these guidelines aim to ensure our entertainment and services create a healthy, respectful, and aspirational environment for all.

Before becoming virtual streamers, we have fully recognized the public influence and social responsibility this profession entails. We understand clearly that every action and statement may lead to positive or negative consequences. Hence, we pledge to:

• Clearly separate our personal lives, emotions, financial or health conditions from our work.
• Clearly differentiate private lives from role-playing during work, fully immersing ourselves in our characters, and maintaining community standards.
• Uphold our commitment to building a healthy community.

Whether you are our loyal supporter or simply a viewer, we rely on your supervision and support to uphold the credibility of our guidelines and maintain a safe community environment.

Streamer Behavior Guidelines

1. Avoid disclosing personal circumstances (such as nationality, occupation, living conditions, emotional, financial, and health status) or complaining about personal daily matters to fans.

4. Limits on Influence Utilization

Streamers must not exploit their influence and fan base to instigate harmful or offensive behaviors, including but not limited to:

1. Promoting "gacha" models that encourage fans to spend real money for random or uncertain in-game advantages, potentially harming individuals with compulsive tendencies and their families.

3. Encouraging fans to engage in phishing, doxing, blackmail, bullying, or attacking others.

Fan Behavior Guidelines and Suggestions

Behaviors We Discourage

• Cross-platform Posting
• Fans should avoid mentioning or posting our links in other streamers’ comment sections, live chats, or fan groups, as this may cause discomfort or disrespect.
• This restriction does not apply within our own streams, comments, or fan channels, provided platform rules are respected.
• Material Dissemination
• We discourage sharing our streamers' memes or emojis in other virtual streamers’ fan groups.
• Irrational Donations
• Fans without complete financial independence or minors are discouraged from making donations. Streamers will not set content designed to induce such spending.
• Excessive Emotional Closeness
• Interactions should avoid excessive intimacy or indifference, maintaining a proper distance to create a pleasant interactive experience.

Behaviors We Encourage

• Rational Affection
• Encourage fans to maintain rational affection toward streamers. When streamers make mistakes, fans should promptly point out errors and risks without favoritism, ensuring long-term community health.
• Respecting Privacy
• Respect the privacy of other community members. Do not share private chat records or information from private channels without explicit consent.
• Avoiding Fanaticism ("Fan Circle" Mentality)
• Fans are advised to moderate their expectations. Even if streamers gain increased influence, they do not possess exceptional privileges warranting special treatment.
• Helping Newcomers
• Senior fans and moderators should patiently guide newcomers who make initial mistakes or raise simple questions. Tolerance not only fosters a friendly community image but also enhances community warmth and harmony.

These guidelines provide clear behavioral standards, contributing to a respectful, rational, and safe entertainment community for all involved.
