Is nudity and other adult content allowed on Fourthwall?

Fourthwall’s payment processors will not process payments for adult goods or services. You therefore may not use your Fourthwall site to offer goods/services or host content that contains pornography or other mature audience content that depicts nudity or explicit sexual acts. Read our full acceptable use policy.

Are Direct Messages the same as paid DMs?

They can be! Enabling Direct Messages through Fourthwall Memberships gives you the option to either:

‍

  1. Send and receive messages from all members
  2. Require a minimum tip for messages from members

Every community is different, and every creator will have different uses for their direct messages. You have the ability to choose what works best for you and your supporters.
