As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly draft community guidelines for your UK platform.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a document containing your current platform description, user age limits, acceptable-use rules, prohibited content and moderation actions.
   2. Gather the reporting address, response process, appeals process, privacy arrangements and any existing terms or safety policies.
   3. Paste those details into the prompt, replacing every bracketed slot and removing any feature or rule your platform does not actually have.
   4. Ask the model to produce the draft and its separate list of assumptions, unresolved questions and issues requiring solicitor review.
   5. Compare every rule, contact route, enforcement action and appeal step against your current product and moderation process, then correct any statement the platform cannot carry out.
   6. Send the corrected draft and the flagged legal questions to a UK solicitor before publishing, and publish only the version that matches both the reviewed wording and your real process.

   Prompt

   Draft community guidelines for a UK-based platform using the information below.
   
   Platform: [platform name and what it does]
   Users: [who can use it and their likely age range]
   Content and activity allowed: [list]
   Content and activity prohibited: [list]
   Moderation actions: [warnings, removals, suspensions, bans and appeals]
   Reporting process: [how users report content or behaviour]
   Appeals process: [how users challenge a moderation decision]
   Privacy and safety arrangements: [relevant details]
   Tone and length: [desired tone and approximate length]
   
   Write clear, plain-English guidelines with headings for acceptable use, prohibited content and behaviour, enforcement, reporting, appeals, urgent safety concerns, and changes to the guidelines. Do not invent platform features, legal duties, contact details or enforcement powers. Do not state that the guidelines are legally compliant. Where UK legal, online safety, equality, data protection or safeguarding issues may apply, flag the issue and explain what information a solicitor needs to confirm. Keep the rules specific enough for moderators to apply consistently, and distinguish between rules, examples and possible enforcement actions. After the draft, provide a short list of factual assumptions and unresolved legal or operational questions.
