Summary

These guidelines set out what you cannot do on Midjourney: creating certain types of harmful content (including anything that sexualizes minors, gore, adult content, or imagery designed to harass real people), automating your use of the service, sharing your account, or using the platform for political campaigns or to spread misinformation. If you break the rules, Midjourney or its community moderators can warn you, time you out, block you, or permanently ban you — and if the violation involves the Editor, you will not receive a refund.

Analysis

The Midjourney Community Guidelines establish a set of categorical use prohibitions and enforcement mechanisms governing user conduct on the platform. Prohibited conduct includes generating content that sexualizes minors in any form (real or synthetic), creating gore or adult content, producing imagery intended to spread misinformation or disinformation, generating images for political campaigns or electoral influence, and creating imagery of real individuals that could be used to harass, abuse, defame, or otherwise harm them. The document prohibits all automation of service interactions, restricts each user to a single account, and bars resale, redistribution, or sharing of account access. Enforcement ranges from moderator-issued warnings, timeouts, and blocks through outright suspension or ban without refund for attempted or completed violations via the Editor.

What this means for you

As a Midjourney user, you are bound by categorical prohibitions that cover not just completed actions but attempts — meaning trying and failing to create prohibited content still violates the guidelines and can result in suspension or a permanent ban without a refund. You are limited to one account, so creating a second account to work around an enforcement action is itself a violation. Account access cannot be shared with anyone else, and all scripted or automated interaction with the service is prohibited regardless of purpose.
