Short answer: Mango Live sorts host violations into Class A (serious), Class B (general) and Class C (minor). Class A stops broadcasting immediately and can be referred to judicial authorities. Repeat offences in a month escalate from a warning to 1-day, 7-day and 30-day room closures, then permanent closure. Users also may not trade accounts, rooms, coins, diamonds, gifts or tickets.
All of that comes from one official page: Mango Live's About Us page on mangolive.in. It holds the "Community Rules for Mango Live Users" and the "Mango Live Broadcasters Violation Regulation". I read it on 10 November 2026 (UTC+8). The server reported the page as last modified on 14 October 2026. Wherever I quote the rules, I use Mango Live's own English wording, typos included. App details come from the App Store and Google Play listings, checked the same day.
The penalty system on one screen
| Class | Mango Live's label | Punishment as written on the page |
|---|---|---|
| A | Serious violations | "Immediately stop the right to broadcast, restrict the mobile phone number to broadcast, and reserve the right to transfer to the judicial organs" |
| B | General violations | "According to the situation and the number of violations, warn, remove, and restrict live broadcast functions, etc.; if the circumstances are serious, the live broadcast room will be permanently closed" |
| C | Minor violations | "Remove broadcaster room" |
The page then prints the escalation table, headed "Penalty rules". It has two rows, "Times/Month" and "Punishment":
| Violations in a month | Punishment |
|---|---|
| "No Limits" (first column) | Warning |
| 2 | Close for 1 day |
| 3 | Close for 7 days |
| 4 | Close for 30 days |
| 5 | Close permanently |
Right below it is the line "The corresponding number of violations of Class B violations is enforced:", followed by a second, one-column table: "Times/Month: No Limits" and "Punishment: Warning to remove and optimize live rooms".
The page doesn't put a class name directly on the first table, and the Class B sentence sits between the two tables. So read the ladder exactly as printed: count your violations within a calendar month, and expect each step to be harsher than the last. Don't assume a particular class always starts on the first rung. Class A skips the ladder entirely, because its listed punishment is an immediate stop to broadcasting.
What "serious" means: Class A territory
The Regulation's "Basic Code" opens by saying Mango Live "will conduct a comprehensive assessment and the level of the violation based on the situation." It then lists "Serious violations (permanently close live rooms)". I've grouped them below. The bullets on the official page are longer, so read it if you're close to any of these lines.
1. Political and social-order content
The page bans content against "the basic principles established by the Constitution", content endangering national unity or security, inciting ethnic hatred, promoting cults, disrupting social order, and "insulting or slandering others". It also covers anti-government remarks, mocking natural disasters and major accidents, and "extreme statements".
2. Gambling, drugs and pornography
The page says it is "forbidden to broadcast any activities related to gambling or suspected gambling". Examples include betting valuable items and using an "excel probability draw". Even a "purely entertaining chess game ... needs to be reported to the platform for approval and then broadcast live." Promoting or using drugs on stream, and what the page calls "low-profile pornography", are also on the serious list.
3. Danger to life and safety
This covers displaying controlled tools or guns, "highly dangerous programs", beating or threatening others, and anything involving suicide or self-harm.
4. Defrauding fans
For anyone spending diamonds, this is the most important line on the page. Hosts may not "destroy or damage the platform image in any way, infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of the platform, and directly or indirectly defraud the fans' money through live broadcast and offline, and have conclusive evidence". So defrauding fans is on the serious list, and the page counts it whether it happens in the live room or offline.
What "general" means: the long Class B list
The heading reads: "General Violations (warn, remove, or block the live room according to the Regulation; if the circumstances are serious, the live room will be permanently closed)". It covers seven groups.
| Group | What the page bans (summarised from the official wording) |
|---|---|
| Copyright | Unlicensed sports content, content whose owner forbids rebroadcast, rebroadcasting "large-scale activities in the country", live video that infringes other video rights |
| Platform order | Buying fake fans and popularity; publishing false information; borrowing money from others through Mango Live or asking for "passwords or other information related to property"; promoting links to other live platforms; changing lucky-draw rules; cheating on interactive data |
| Sexually suggestive performance | A long list of banned actions, sounds, props and camera angles, plus a ban on broadcasting "on the bed or use the bed as a prop" |
| Dress code | Detailed limits on exposure, with specific clothing types banned; swimsuits allowed at a swimming pool within stated limits; no state-organ or army uniforms; no clothing with sexually suggestive words or pictures |
| Advertising | Only ads from regular e-commerce platforms, app vendors, game makers, brands or advertisers provided by Mango Live, and these must be reported through the host's guild (or directly, for hosts without a guild) before they run |
| Section rules | No face shown or no makeup; noisy room; long silences or ignoring viewers' messages; playing movies or animations; playing recorded video instead of going live; hostile or abusive replies to the audience |
| Room titles | No content about domestic or foreign leaders, military matters, sensitive history, police, gambling, violence, pornography or marketing; a title "must have complete live elements" rather than meaningless symbols or numbers |
The "platform order" rules protect viewers too
Two items in the platform-order group protect anyone who spends money in a room:
- "It is forbidden to publish false information, and it is forbidden to borrow money from others utilizing Mango Live platform (live, announcement, barrage, etc.) and ask for passwords or other information related to property." A host who asks viewers for a loan, or for passwords or payment details, through a live stream, announcement or bullet comments is breaking a written rule.
- "The broadcaster shall not violate the qualifications of the lucky draw and modify and formulate the rules." Hosts can't quietly change the rules of a lucky draw once viewers have joined.
The same group bans "buy fake fans and popularity" and "deliberately fraudulent or cheating on interactive data". If a room's numbers look inflated, that breaks the platform-order rules.
The advertising rule, step by step
The advertising section has the most procedure on the page, so here it is in order:
- A host may only carry ads from "regular e-commerce platforms", "regular APP vendors, game manufacturers, brand manufacturers or other advertisers provided by Mango Live".
- Before running one, the host "shall report to the guild where it is located", and the guild sends it on to Mango Live's official mailbox.
- A host without a guild reports directly to the Mango Live Official address printed on the page, and "all should be based on replies by Mango Live Official."
- Categories open for reporting include jewellery (gold, jade, bracelets, necklaces), e-commerce (snack shops, daily necessities, clothing, gaming peripherals, light luxury, digital products), animals and plants (excluding protected or wild animals) and apps.
- An ad run without this report is, in the page's words, "a violation advertisement".
"Section rules": the quiet-room violations
New hosts are most often surprised by the section rules, because none of them involves bad content. The page lists these as violations:
- "The broadcaster does not show face live/not makeup".
- "The broadcast clothing is smashing/live environment is noisy".
- "The broadcaster does not speak for a long time/does not interact with the audience".
- Playing "unrelated content such as movies and animations during the live".
- Not replying to, or ignoring, "the audience's barrage message".
- Not actually being live: "videos such as live video are placed in the live broadcast".
- Interacting "with a low attitude, excessive speech, malicious attacks on others", including regional attacks.
Put simply, a room that's live but empty of the host counts as a violation. So does a pre-recorded loop, or a host who never answers chat. Each one adds to the monthly count on the ladder like any other general violation.
The fine print most people miss
The "Remarks" at the end of the Regulation hold three points that matter more than their position suggests:
| Remark | Official wording | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Fan fraud | "As for broadcaster involving audience-fraud, Mango Live will cooperate with the police to recover the money and pursue legal responsibility." | Viewers who lose money to a host's fraud have a written statement that the platform will work with police. |
| Scope and updates | "The Regulation will be updated on an irregular basis ... The scope of the investigation includes but not limited to: nickname, title, background template text, graphic dynamics, video, etc." | The rules cover more than the live stream: nicknames, titles, background text, posts and videos all count. |
| Money penalties | "According to the platform situation, the penalty content will update to deduct certain gift settlements and reduce promotion efforts. If the broadcaster does not change after communication, their live rooms will be permanently closed." | A violation can cost a host part of their gift settlement and their promotion, not only room time. |
The page closes by saying "This platform has the final interpretation of the above rules."
Community Rules for users: the trading ban
The Broadcasters Violation Regulation is aimed at hosts. The "Community Rules for Mango Live Users" on the same page cover everyone, viewers included. The page says these rules are "additional guidance" to the regulations for broadcasting rooms and "are applied to all broadcasters and users, and all behaviors during live sessions and on the platform." Here's what they prohibit:
| # | Rule (official wording, shortened only where marked) |
|---|---|
| 1 | Advocating or inciting "radical or illegal speech or actions, such as fighting, threatening to fight, disturbing the public order, or damaging public facilities" during broadcasts and in bullet comments |
| 2 | Insulting others or using radical words "leading to bad results" in live sessions and bullet comments |
| 3 | Promoting "irrational consumption such as flaunting wealth" or "corrupted lifestyles such as smoking and alcohol drinking" during broadcasts |
| 4 | Infringing privacy: exposing others' private information, stalking or monitoring others, investigating and revealing others' social relationships |
| 5 | Instigating fans or streams to fight, stirring up "flame wars" via live broadcasts, bullet comments and private messages; "Broadcasters shall be responsible for the behaviors of their own fans." |
| 6 | "It's prohibited to trade, exchange or pledge any sources of the platform, and to make use of bugs to generate illegal benefits including but not limited to account, broadcasting room, coins and diamonds, virtual gifts and tickets." |
Rule 6 is the one that matters most to buyers. It names six things you can't trade, exchange or pledge:
- accounts,
- broadcasting rooms,
- coins,
- diamonds,
- virtual gifts, and
- tickets.
It also bans using bugs "to generate illegal benefits". In practice, a "cheap diamonds from my account" deal, a second-hand host account with followers, or a "pledge your room for a loan" offer all break the same written rule. Rule 5 adds that hosts answer for what their fans do, so a host whose fan group runs such deals is exposed as well.
The numbers inside the dress code
Most of the Regulation is lists of what's banned, but the dress-code section has actual measurements. Hosts tend to ask about these first, so here they are as written:
| Rule | Limit stated on the page |
|---|---|
| Female host, back | Exposed back "should not exceed two-thirds of the upper half, above the waistline" |
| Female host, waist | Must be worn "above the pelvis"; the lower waist "should not be lower than 2cm below the umbilicus" |
| Female host, chest | Exposed area "shall not exceed one-third of the chest" |
| Skirts and shorts | Hem "should not be higher than the hip line" |
| Swimming pool exception | "The swimming pool can be worn in a swimsuit (but not one-third of the chest)" |
| Male host | Not naked; may not broadcast only in bottoms, underwear or tights |
| Camera angle | No top-down shots aimed at the chest, no bottom-up shots of legs and hips, no long focus on legs and feet |
The page also names banned items outright, including fishnet stockings, garter socks, low-waist shorts, "sexy uniforms", see-through clothing and flesh-coloured tights. Broadcasting in uniforms of state organs or the army is banned too, as is clothing with sexually suggestive words or pictures.
Worked examples: reading the ladder
These examples apply the printed table to imaginary months. They aren't Mango Live rulings. They just show how the "Times/Month" columns stack up if each event counts as one violation.
| Scenario in one month | Count | Step on the printed ladder |
|---|---|---|
| Room title made only of emojis and numbers (title rules) | 1 | Warning |
| Same month: a sponsored jewellery shout-out that wasn't reported through the guild (advertising rules) | 2 | Close for 1 day |
| Same month: a recorded video played instead of going live (section rules) | 3 | Close for 7 days |
| Same month: a link to another live platform posted in the room (platform-order rules) | 4 | Close for 30 days |
| Same month: buying fake popularity (platform-order rules) | 5 | Close permanently |
Two things stand out. First, every scenario above is a general-violation item, not a serious one, and the fifth still ends in permanent closure on the printed ladder. Second, a gambling-style stream or defrauding fans never enters this table at all. Those are serious violations, and the page attaches an immediate stop to broadcasting.
Gambling is broader than most hosts expect
The gambling bullet catches content that many hosts wouldn't call gambling. The page lists:
- "to make a bet on valuable items to make a bet or win",
- "to use the excel probability draw to involve gambling", and
- "to perform a purely entertaining chess game, which needs to be reported to the platform for approval and then broadcast live."
So a friendly board-game stream needs approval first, and any random draw that looks like a bet falls under the serious list. If you run giveaways, also keep the general-violation rule in mind: you may not "modify and formulate the rules" of a lucky draw.
Practical checklists
If you host on Mango Live
- Keep a monthly count. The ladder counts violations per month, and the second one already costs a day of room time.
- Check your title, nickname and background text. They fall within the investigation scope listed in the Remarks.
- Report every ad first, through your guild or directly if you have none, and wait for Mango Live Official's reply.
- Never ask viewers for money or passwords through the live stream, announcements or bullet comments. This is written as a platform-order violation.
- Don't touch lucky-draw rules once a draw is running.
- Watch your fan group. The Community Rules make hosts responsible for their fans' behaviour.
- Remember the settlement clause. The Remarks say penalties can include deducting "certain gift settlements".
If you watch and gift
- Treat any request for a loan, password or payment details from a host as a rule breach. Mango Live's Regulation lists it as one.
- Don't buy, sell or pledge accounts, rooms, coins, diamonds, gifts or tickets with other users. The Community Rules prohibit all six.
- Keep evidence if you think a host has defrauded you. The Remarks say Mango Live "will cooperate with the police to recover the money".
- Use the official contact. The Google Play listing for Mango Live (com.wheat.mango), checked 10 November 2026, gives customerservice@mangolive.net as a support address. The About page sends general questions to http://www.mangoshow.tv/.
- Top up through official or established channels. If you want an outside storefront, the Mango Live diamonds page on Buffget is one option. Our earlier check of Mango Live's own web recharge catalogue covers the official website route.
App facts as of 10 November 2026
| Store | Listing | Version and date | Age rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store (US) | "Mango Live-Live Stream", seller APPXYZ MOBILE COMPANY LIMITED | 3.0.5, released 20 October 2026 (UTC+8); release notes: "Fix known issues / Improve user experience" | 17+ |
| Google Play (US) | "Mango live-Go Live Streaming", com.wheat.mango | 3.2.4, updated 29 September 2026 | Mature 17+ |
Both stores rate the app 17+. That fits how strict the Regulation is about suggestive content and dress.
How the three classes compare in practice
Here are the classes against what a host stands to lose, using only the outcomes the page lists:
| Outcome | Class A | Class B | Class C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warning | — | Yes ("warn") | — |
| Content removed | — | Yes ("remove") | — |
| Live functions restricted | — | Yes | — |
| Room removed | — | — | Yes ("remove broadcaster room") |
| Broadcasting stopped immediately | Yes | — | — |
| Phone number restricted from broadcasting | Yes | — | — |
| Possible judicial referral | Yes | — | — |
| Permanent room closure | Listed under "Serious violations" | "If the circumstances are serious" | — |
Across all classes, the Remarks add gift-settlement deductions and reduced promotion. They also say rooms will be permanently closed if a host "does not change after communication".
Frequently asked questions
How many violations before a Mango Live room is closed permanently?
The penalty table on mangolive.in/about.html (read 10 November 2026) shows "Close permanently" in the fifth column of "Times/Month", after a warning and 1-, 7- and 30-day closures. Serious (Class A) violations stop broadcasting immediately, and serious general violations can lead to permanent closure without going through every step.
What is the difference between Class A, B and C on Mango Live?
Class A covers serious violations: broadcasting stops immediately, the phone number is restricted, and judicial referral is possible. Class B covers general violations: warnings, removal or function limits, and permanent closure in serious cases. Class C covers minor violations, where the broadcaster room is removed.
Can I buy or sell a Mango Live account or diamonds from another user?
The Community Rules on the same page prohibit trading, exchanging or pledging "account, broadcasting room, coins and diamonds, virtual gifts and tickets", and using bugs for illegal benefits.
A host asked me to lend money. Is that allowed?
No. The Regulation's general violations include "borrow money from others utilizing Mango Live platform (live, announcement, barrage, etc.) and ask for passwords or other information related to property".
What happens if a host scams viewers?
Defrauding fans' money "through live broadcast and offline" is listed among serious violations, and the Remarks say Mango Live "will cooperate with the police to recover the money and pursue legal responsibility."
Do the rules apply to my nickname and profile, or only to the live stream?
The Remarks say the scope "includes but not limited to: nickname, title, background template text, graphic dynamics, video".
Can hosts lose earnings for violations?
The Remarks say penalties "will update to deduct certain gift settlements and reduce promotion efforts."
