First and foremost, welcome to the official Superheroine Secret Shame forums.
These are the current rules to keep the forums running smoothly. They are subject to change.
I. Future Cases
We reserve the right to add new rules to this list as cases occur. We will add those cases to this list as we begin to take action against them.
II. Forum Layout
Each forum section has a content description below it. It is in your best interest to read these before posting a new thread. Once you have found your destination, search to see if your topic has already been created. If you are still unsure, you may ask the administration or moderation staff.
III. Images
Lots of people read the forums from work, schools, and other places where they can be jeopardized as a result of unexpected image posts. This point is simple; do not post images of anything obscene or explicit in nature (pornography, gore, disturbing medical images, etc). They will be deleted and you will receive an infraction or temporary ban. If you persist, you will be banned. Any sort of linking/spoilering to such images MUST be marked appropriately (ex: NSFW / NMS / NLS) beforehand. Table-breaking images MUST be spoilered.
IV. Legal
Any post that will put Divine Studios LLC. or any friendly affiliate of Divine Studios LLC. at legal risk will be immediately deleted. If these posts are malicious, repetitive, or very serious, the user will be banned. This means NO confidential information (personal information, etc). Don’t talk about it, don’t mention it, don’t reference it. Personal information (even if it resides on other web pages) is explicitly prohibited unless given direct consent by the owner to post it. In cases where the permission is revoked, we will comply with any take down requests of personal information and pictures (Pictures of Models is fine as long as it is not copyrighted). We have been contacted before when this has occurred previously, and we do not wish to receive any more phone calls regarding it.
V. Trolling
Trolls are not welcome here on SSS Forums. Repetitive quoting of a quote, excessive off-topic or anti-topic posting, flame-baiting, replying with single-word posts (first, tldr, Darwinism, inb4, etc), and other things of that nature will lead to infractions or bannings against the offending parties. Necroposting (posting on a thread over two weeks old without adding anything substantial to the discussion) will result in punishment. Should a thread become derailed to a point where the original intent is no longer the main focus of the posts, it will be locked. It is NOT okay to be as annoying as possible while still operating within the forum rules. The admin and mod staff can see through this and will deal with these people accordingly.
VI. Post Removal/Editing
If you post a thread, but aren't happy with the results of the thread because something didn't go your way, too bad. Editing it to remove your content is a bannable offense. You posted it for us to read, now we're going to read it.
VII. Backseat Modding
Moderators will move/lock topics as they deem necessary. People who post a response indicating that a topic should be in a different section will be dealt with accordingly.
VIII. Gimmick or Fake Accounts
Gimmick or fake accounts made to circumvent your real posting name to deceive users of your real account, or to get around a previous ban is bannable. The moderators and admin staff can check and confirm, and both accounts will be banned.
IX. Spoiler Tags
Spoiler tags will be used for TV shows, movies, video games, books, anything that somebody would consider a spoiler to a certain degree. If you are unsure, use a spoiler tag because it’s better to be safe than sorry, you can go back and edit out spoiler tags for obvious well known things. Any abuse of the spoiler tags will be dealt with by the admins and moderators.
X. Racial Slurs and Extremely Derogatory Terms
Racial slurs and extremely derogatory terms are not allowed on the SSS forums in the standard posting sections. Usage of these terms does not add anything to the conversation. We are adults and intelligent people, there is no reason we must attack our fellow man and the opposite gender with worthless comments. This is now at a stop, you will receive warnings, infractions, or bans to your account. The administrative staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. In or out of context the usage of racial slurs/extremely derogatory terms is not allowed.
XI. Posting Requirements
Anyone can post at the moment however, only staff can post polls. Please keep within the perimeters of the rules before posting.
XII. Forum Staff
If the Admins of this site find you guilty of the breaching of any of these rules, you will be punished. Depending on the severity of the breach of rules, whether you are banned, warned or temporarily banned is decided case by case. We also reserve the right to ban anyone from the forums to preserve the solidarity of our forums. This does not mean you will be banned for holding a different opinion from the rest of the group, but if you choose to cause issues without reason, you will be banned.
It is NOT ok to harass any moderator for modding a thread. The moderators have been given a guideline on what and how to take care of things. If you feel a moderator is abusing their powers you must contact an admin to discuss this. Any harassing to a moderator will be given to the admins, and we will deal with you appropriately.
