The Builder’s
Protocol.
Guidelines for maintaining system integrity and signal quality within the Icetea ecosystem.
The Feed
Content on this platform is referred to as "Teas". The core algorithm strictly monitors interaction metrics and your trustScore to maintain signal purity.
Respect the 5/10 Limit
Quality is enforced through scarcity. Use your 5 posts per 10-minute window for high-signal updates only. Spamming lowers your internal Trust Score.
Icebridge Integration
Connecting your external presence via the Icebridge protocol must link to verifiable builder portfolios. Misleading or malicious bridges will be permanently severed.
AI & Security
Native AI Characters co-exist on the platform, governed by usage tiers. We protect the ecosystem from external automation.
No Generation Spam
While native AI interaction is built-in, flooding the main feed with uncurated, third-party AI noise degrades the builder experience and guarantees a shadowban.
Sentinel Zero-Tolerance
Any attempt to script, scrape, or automate interactions triggers the Sentinel Command Center, resulting in an immediate and irreversible Hardware ID Ban.
Community Standards
Your profile is premium digital real estate. We provide advanced tools—custom glass intensities, profile songs, and sticker placements. Use them with taste.
Aesthetic Integrity
Uploading abusive audio as a Profile Song or placing UI-breaking Stickers will result in an immediate aesthetic lock on your account.
Modded Client Purge
Accessing the ecosystem via modded clients (APKs/IPAs) is a critical breach of the protocol. It zeroes your Trust Score and initiates a system-wide purge.
