Why it happens
- Visuals or dialogue include gore, violence, vulgarity or dangerous acts that the platform restricts.
- Unlicensed music, film clips or real people's likenesses are used.
- AI-generated content isn't declared or labelled as the platform requires.
- The cover and title exaggerate or don't match the content and get flagged as clickbait.
How to fix it
Check the target platform's community guidelines line by line before posting; the official page is the authority.
Convey horror and conflict through suggestion: sound, shadow and reaction shots rather than showing harm.
Replace any music or footage of unknown origin and keep licence records.
Use the platform's AI-content disclosure option when posting.
When rejected, read the stated reason and fix only that before resubmitting.
Prevent it next time:Steer clear of restricted themes at the script stage, and run the guidelines and licence checklists before posting.
