Shortmox is a premium editorial home for short-film discovery. Where the product offers light-touch participation—such as comments or ratings on a title—the goal is measured context around the work, not an open-ended social feed.
Who can participate
Interactive features are for signed-in members whose accounts are in good standing. Today, commenting and reporting comments require a verified email address on your account. If your account has been restricted, those actions may be unavailable until the situation is resolved.
What we welcome
- Short, good-faith reactions and context about the film or how you experienced it.
- Respectful disagreement about craft, tone, or themes—kept civil and on-topic.
- Constructive notes that help other viewers (for example accessibility or festival context), without turning the thread into self-promotion.
What is not allowed
The same standards you would expect in a serious screening room apply here in text form.
- Harassment, threats, hate, slurs, or targeted abuse toward a person or group.
- Spam, repetitive posting, scams, or using comments primarily to promote unrelated products, channels, or projects.
- Graphic sexual content or gratuitous graphic violence described in a way meant to shock, degrade, or derail discussion.
- Knowingly harmful misinformation about people, rights, or safety when it is used to stir conflict rather than to correct a good-faith mistake.
Reporting and moderation
Verified members can report a published comment they believe breaks these expectations. Reports are reviewed by the team; they are not a vote or an instant verdict. Use reporting in good faith—misusing it can itself breach the Terms.
Moderation is human-led and proportionate to risk: we may hide or remove comments, or take account-level action, when we reasonably believe it is needed for safety, legal compliance, fraud prevention, rights issues, or to uphold these guidelines and the Terms.
Comments, accounts, and restrictions
Removing a comment does not automatically mean an account is penalized—but repeated or serious violations can lead to suspension, disabling, or a ban. We aim to be clear and fair; where the law or risk profile allows, we may act with or without prior notice.
For the binding legal framing—including how we may enforce rules—see the Terms of Service. For questions that do not fit a report flow, use Contact.
