# Slashing Reasons Slashes are triggered by severe violations that undermine the network's integrity. The current violations that trigger slashings or bans are: * **Exact duplicate posts:** Submitting the exact same entry multiple times. * **User-Level duplicate posts:** Submitting multiple entries that are excessively similar to your own prior submissions. * **Network-Level duplicate posts:** Submitting multiple entries that are excessively similar to other user's submissions. * **Non-original content:** Uploading content sourced from external platforms, such as images from Google search results or clearly stock images/videos/audios. * **AI-generated posts:** Using generative AI tools to create data submissions without proper attribution or originality. Each violation has its own level of tolerance level and consequences outlined in the table in [Slashing Mechanism](/the-network/slashing-mechanism.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
