THE TPP PROTOCOL

Rules

Terms of Service & Content Directive // Last Updated: March 2026

01_Content_Guidelines

THE TPP PROTOCOL is a data archive documenting game mechanics, not an image board for explicit material. Submissions must adhere strictly to the concept of Symbolic Representation.

Accepted: Stylized Subversion

Submissions must utilize the game's standard assets to create a rough, stylized representation. This includes:

  • Rocks, terrain deformation, or landscaping
  • Arranging crates, barrels, or in-game physics props
  • Strategic placement of building blocks or neon lights
  • Bullet decals, scorch marks, or paint sprays

Rejected: Realistic / Explicit

Any submission crossing the line from mechanical subversion to explicit content will be purged. Zero tolerance for:

  • Anatomical realism or highly detailed textures
  • Photographic overlays or 2D explicit sprites
  • Explicit 3D models injected via mods (e.g., NSFW model swaps)
  • Any content intended to bypass platform safety/TOS filters

03_Terms_of_Service

1. Acceptance of Terms & Age Verification

By accessing, registering, or submitting data to THE TPP PROTOCOL, you agree to abide by these Terms of Service. You legally verify that you are at least 16 YEARS OF AGE or older. If you do not meet this requirement, you must terminate your session immediately.

2. User Generated Content (UGC) License

You retain full ownership of the data and video links you submit. However, by submitting a record, you grant THE TPP PROTOCOL a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to index, display, format, and distribute that data on our platform. We do not host video files; we strictly index third-party URLs (e.g., YouTube).

3. Moderation & Termination Rights

Platform moderators hold absolute authority over database integrity. We reserve the right to reject runs, modify category tags, delete comments, or permanently terminate user accounts at any time, for any reason, without prior notice. Network bans bypass the appeals process for severe violations.

4. Section 230 & International Safe Harbors

THE TPP PROTOCOL operates as an interactive computer service under Section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act, the EU Digital Services Act, and equivalent international hosting safe harbors. We act solely as a neutral indexing platform for user-submitted hyperlinks. We are not legally liable or responsible for the content hosted on external third-party servers.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE OPERATORS OF THIS PLATFORM BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE DATABASE.

5. DMCA & Global Copyright Policy

We respect international intellectual property rights. If you are a game developer, publisher, or content creator and believe a user-submitted link infringes upon your copyright, please issue a formal takedown request to support@ttpprotocol.com. Since we do not host the video files, we will promptly remove the hyperlink from our index, but you must contact the external host to remove the source file.

6. Parody & Affiliation Disclaimer

This project is an independent parody and research archive. It is strictly unaffiliated, unendorsed, and unsponsored by Valve Corporation, Epic Games, RAWG.io, YouTube, or any game developer whose software is referenced in the database.

7. Modifications to the Terms

THE TPP PROTOCOL reserves the right to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time. Significant changes will be communicated via site announcements or email. Continued use of the platform following such modifications constitutes your formal acceptance of the new terms.
