This is our board and these are our rules. If you do not like them, there are other boards with which you can engage. As long as you are here, these rules must be followed and if you do not, the outcomes below can be strictly enforced.

Please understand that these are guidelines; it is up to our sole discretion to hand out more severe penalties when we deem it necessary. This is especially true in the cases of repeat offenders who have a history of trolling and warnings for other infractions.

PLEASE NOTE: Accumulation of warnings and offenses totaling 10 will result in permanent ban.

Ground Zero
RESPECT is everything here. Any derogatory terms used will be dealt with swiftly and harshly by the administration. These derogatory terms include any religious, ethnic, sexual or other type terms which are meant to demean another person. If you have to ask yourself if the term can be used, do not use it.
Examples include : fag, homo, whore, ho, hooker, john, trick and your usual demeaning ethnic and religious terms. Don't tell us it is a joke; or that you know the person; or that it is otherwise somehow ok. It is not ok. We reserve the right to instantly ban with no warnings when deemed appropriate for the good of the community.

Rule 1 – Outing
Do not under any circumstances publicly post real names, addresses, locations, unadvertised phone numbers, personal photos without consent, etc, or links that would reveal any of this information. You may post partial phone numbers with at least 4 digits blurred out (ex: 555-55#-####) and provide your contact information for inquiring parties to contact you privately. A warning may be given if the outing is not deemed malicious in nature. Otherwise:
1st offense – 1 month ban
2nd offense – permanent ban

Rule 2 – Pedophilia
Any references to pedophilia in anyway will violate this rule. That includes, but is not limited to: publicly accusing someone of pedophilia without proof, posting photos with minors in the background, using an avatar with a minor on it, posting pedo links, etc. Please report any suspicious activity of this kind to www.asacp.org.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – 1 month ban
3rd offense – permanent ban

Rule 3 – Illegal Activities (Drugs, Solicitation, etc)
The discussion of the use, sale, purchase, or trade of drugs or illegal services is prohibited even in states where it may be legal, since federal law may still apply.
Gentlemen posting ISOs for drugs, or offering to sell or trade drugs for services, or seeking or reviewing illegal services are in violation of this rule.
Ladies posting ads that could be construed as solicitation, or posting ads stating that they are “herb friendly,” “420,” or any terminology referencing the use or distribution of drugs will also be in violation of this rule.
When requested, we will cooperate with authorities if it is found that you have violated laws in these areas. You should report violations to the board. In many cases you should report illegal activities to the proper authorities some of which can be found on our Resource Sidebar Block on the Home Page. If you suspect, or are a victim of, trafficking, abuse, or you or someone you know need support for ending unhealthy lifestyles, we urge you to find the proper resource for immediate help.
Addendum : unfounded accusations of drug use or addiction may also violate this rule.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – final warning
3rd offense – 1 month ban
4th offense – permanent ban

Rule 4 – Threats
Threats made in any manner shape or form will not be tolerated. If you feel you have been threatened, email us immediately. Action will be taken based on the nature of the threat. It may result in immediate ban.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – 1 month ban
3rd offense – permanent ban

Rule 5 – Racism/Homophobia/anti-xxxx/xxxphobia/etc
There are a lot of hateful people out there, we get it. If you didn’t get it all out during your last clan meeting then try running a few more laps at the gym. Just keep it off the board. See Ground Zero above. We reserve the right to permanently ban immediately, when deemed appropriate for the good of the community. Please keep in mind that in addition this also includes names and labels such as fag, whore, ho and any word that could be taken to demean a person's lifestyle or choices of any kind. We are aware that it is no longer PC to be PC, but hell... you can always go elsewhere where such behavior is tolerated.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – 5 day ban
3rd offense – 2 week ban
4th offense – 1 month ban
5th offense – permanent ban

Rule 6 – Harassment
This is one of the most difficult rules to establish and uphold, however, we will do our best to make fair and accurate assessments of these reports. You may not always like our decisions. That being said, do not excessively attack other members with name calling, taunting, or other forms of childlike behavior. Do not create a thread specifically bashing another user. Do not make accusations about another’s lifestyle, health conditions, and so on, especially if you have no physical proof. Do not incite others to act in the above manner. To avoid violating this rule try posting in a general sense (ex: “I hate fat pigs” opposed to “so-and-so is a fat pig”).
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – final warning
3rd offense – 10 day ban
4th offense – 3 week ban
5th offense - 1 month ban
6th offense – permanent ban

Rule 7 – Privacy
Do not post direct captures of any content you’ve received in a manner in which the sender had a reasonable expectation of privacy. This includes, but is not limited to: Conversations, emails, text messages, private chat, etc.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – 5 day ban
3rd offense – 10 day ban
4th offense – 1 month ban
5th offense – permanent ban

Rule 8 – Inappropriate Advertising/Spamming
Please see and respect guidelines for advertising. Please see Advertising Pages All advertisers must be properly registered. Free ads have their limits. Do not solicit your website or services publicly via post or privately through our conversation (PM) system, chat system, or through our inline emailing system to avoid being considered a spammer. Spamming will get your account banned and deleted. If we feel you have circumvented the registration process in any way by providing false information or if you subsequently post false information or photos or solicit for illegal activity, you will also be banned permanently.
However, you are free to link to, or mention other websites that have pertinent information for our readers. We feel information is vital and do not wish to censor any information that may be of value even if we personally question the value of the other site. Any site you link to must allow the viewing of the material for free without requiring payment or username creation. You may NOT link to sites that show or that imply illegal activities.

Rule 9 – Robs/NS
Sometimes life really sucks. People get robbed, stuck in traffic, or some other emergency arises. As a result you may feel victimized, angry and out of control. You may think that one type of recourse could be to come on here and violate Rule 6, causing extra undue stress once we enact a warning or ban on your account. Instead, you are entitled to writing one clear concise explanation of your experience in one of the dedicated Rob/NS sections around the board. Any excess to that will result in a violation of this rule, and probably Rule 6. Trust that people will do their homework, your report will be found in a search, and your story will be heard.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – 5 day ban
3rd offense – 10 day ban
4th offense – 1 month ban
5th offense – permanent ban

Rule 10 – Shilling
Anyone found pimping or shilling for a companion by posting fake reviews or trying to set up appointments for another user will be in violation of this rule.
1st offense – warning
2nd offense – 2 weeks ban
3rd offense – 1 month ban
4th offense – permanent ban

Rule 11 – Multiple Handles
Multiple handles are prohibited. Anyone found owning or operating under an alternate handle will have that handle either deleted or merged with their original handle and be banned for 1 month for first offense. Anyone operating under an alternate handle in order to skirt a ban on their original handle for a violation of any rule other than this rule 11, will either have that account merged or deleted and a 1 month ban extension will be applied to the original ban duration.
1st offense – 1 month ban
2nd offense – permanent ban


As always the doors are open. If you feel any of these rules drastically inhibit your usage of our board, please let us know and we will consider modifications. Equally, if you feel we haven’t covered something that should be covered, we’d love to hear that too.
