These rules may be changed at any time and we may step in if there is something we missed that is still wrong. Members are also free to give feedback on the rules or ask if something is allowed or not.
What's not allowed:
- You must physically be over the age of 13 to join.
While system members under the age of 13 are in a grey area and will be left up to the digression of the individual system, the body must be over the age of 13. - Bigotry and bigoted groups are not allowed on this forum.
This includes but is not limited to those who are xenophobic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or identifies themselves as TERFs or radfems. All forms of sexuality, gender, religion, and expression of culture are allowed. - Discussion of topics relating to incest or pedophilic relationships, even within systems, is strictly prohibited.
Linking to blogs, websites, or Carrds which mention these topics is also not allowed. - Discussions of TransID and parethnic are not allowed
Trans-species and transhumanism are fine, as are age regressors and syskids, permakids/forever kids, people with BIID or inner world disabilities, etc, however discussion of specifically transage, transabled, and transethnic/parethnic movements are not. - Syscourse and system gatekeeping is not allowed here.
Discussion of origins should be done in a constructive way and not in a way to divide systems. All systems are also welcome and bear in mind there will likely be a diversity of experiences here. We will and do have soulbonders, spiritual systems, thoughtforms, and non-trauma-based systems. - No DNIs.
These can be difficult to moderate. Please just block someone you don't want to see. - No discussion of system-hopping, system travel, etc.
What you do in your own time is your business, but due to the poor quality of resources for it and how common it is as an abuse tactic, on this forum we do not allow advertising of it, coordinating such, claims you've visited someone's headspace, or asking to do it in DMs. This might be reverted if there's enough interest and because of the aforementioned lack of poor quality and sometimes outright dangerous resources, but for now no.
Post Content:
- This entire forum is PG-13.
We may create a dedicated 18+ category if there's enough desire for it, but regardless keep any NSFW or drug-related topics to a minimum and don't post anything you wouldn't want a 13 year old to see. The exception are forums which are explicitly mentioned as being for or system members who are under this age. - Don't post SPAM in the forums.
There should also be a reason for posting multiple times in a row as opposed to editing. - Keep things legible.
If you must type using a hard to read typing quirk, try to have a translation somewhere in your post (we have spoiler box BBcode if needed). Also try not to go overboard with different fonts or colors. Generally keep in mind that not everyone on the internet has good vision and speaks English. - Do not start or encourage spats.
Deep discussions and people disagreeing are fine, but outright fighting and name calling is not. - Try to use good sources.
If you want to link or explain something, sources by someone reputable with citations or that are well thought out are better. While we won't ban you for poor sources, please try to keep your information good.
Sites we discourage using as a source: Pluralpedia, Fandom Wikis (unless well curated), Carrds (unless well sourced). - Term coining discussion is allowed, but not direct term coining posts.
Collaborating to come up with a term is fine as our posts that encourage discussion, but Tumblr-style/MOGAI-adjacent coining posts aren't the point of this forum and are done enough on Tumblr and Discord as is.
Example: "I want to come up with a term for nonhumans in systems, feedback?" is allowed, "I made a new term: <term>" is not allowed. - Don't glorify or encourage harmful symptoms and don't be an armchair therapist.
This means don't encourage others to dissociate or explore trauma in an unhealthy way, and be careful of creating a negative cycle of others delusions or dissociation. While offering advice or support to other mentally ill people is fine, trying to go any more in-depth can be a violation of this rule.
Other
- Respect who people are
In systems respect the differing desires for individuality, use correct pronouns within your awareness, etc. Also respect people's privacy and including which system they belong to. - Be responsible with your system kids.
Ideally they should be supervised when browsing the forum. While we may have system kid-related chats, please make sure they understand internet safety and where not to go, and have an adult or trust person they can go to just in case. The people in this forum are not babysitters. System kids also should not be posting to threads which have clearly 13+ content. - Do not share screenshots or repost without permission.
Even if you have good intentions, just ask first and be clear about where you're putting it. - Systems are allowed to make separate accounts however they see fit.
Unless something is very serious bans and warnings will be made based on the specific account unless otherwise requested by the system. However, attempting to get around bans with this policy will result in more severe action being taken.
