What's not OK
The joke is always "I'm bad at this" — never a real place, a real group, or a real person. Here's exactly where the line is, and how it's enforced.
Not OK, ever
- Slurs, hate speech, or anything targeting a group by ethnicity, nationality, religion, or the like.
- Sexual content.
- Threats of any kind.
- Pretending to be, or impersonating, a real person — celebrities, politicians, anyone real. Made-up characters are fine.
- Someone else's voice, a voice actor's read, or an AI-generated clip presented as your own attempt. Entry is mic-only for exactly this reason.
What we ask of every prompt before it ships
Every line the contest gives you is checked against five rules before it's ever used:
✗ "G'day, throw another shrimp on the barbie." — the stereotype IS the joke.
✓ "Please return your seat to the upright position." — the joke is you failing at a voice, not the place.
The test we apply: swap the accent for a different one — if the joke changes, the place was the joke, and it gets cut. Copy always asks for your worst, never your "most convincing." Picture someone actually from that place at the table: they should be having the best time, because they're the only one who knows exactly how badly you're failing.
How every entry is checked — fully automatic
There is no human reviewer in this pipeline. Before anyone else can hear your entry:
- Two independent AI checks have to agree that it's clean and that it's not mocking a group rather than the speaker failing. If they disagree, it's rejected with a free retry and a plain reason.
- We check you actually read the line given (an "off-script" check) — reject with "read the line," free retry.
- Entries from accounts under 7 days old wait 6 hours after passing before they go public, so reports have time to catch anything that slips through early.
What this can't do, said plainly: it reads words, not tone. A mean impression made entirely of clean words can pass. That's exactly what the report button and the prompt rules above exist to catch instead.
Report and block
- Report is on every entry. It's hidden for you immediately; two separate reports hide it for everyone while it's automatically re-checked.
- Reporting "this person is under 18" freezes their new entries and votes right away, pending a look — it does not ban them or erase their past votes on one anonymous accusation alone.
- Block hides one person's entries from you, permanently, everywhere in the contest.
- Three confirmed takedowns against the same person in 30 days triggers an automatic 90-day contest ban.
Every automatic action is logged and can be looked at (and undone, if it was wrong) — nobody has to act for it to happen, but nothing happens invisibly either.
