Hi there! :)
I'm kind of a newb, and I just joined today, and I was wondering about the 'rating' of this site. PG, PG-13, or R? What is the deal with swearing (does it have to be starred?) and sexually explicit topics (does it have to be faded? Can you use it, but not go into detail?)?
Thanks in advance! <3
Site Rules
In short, pg-13. Swearing/violence/gore and the like is held to a fairly lenient standard-no reason to censor "crude" language per se.
Sexually explicit is a different story. Keep it clean, as in no detailed descriptions. Let me quote from that link...
Quote:
I don't have a problem with adult themes in IC threads if they're presented tastefully and maturely, but I will ask that all blatant cybersex be kept to private messaging. Cybersex typically involves fast back-and-forth sexual exchanges.
Swearing generally is okay, but smut is a no-no around here. If there is sex, it's supposed to be over PMs, but it's fade to black in the public threads. There's an example in the Ask A Comrade thread written by Bela, but it's best to take things to PMs if you do use sex.
Overall rating I'd give it a PG-13 rating, especially since you have to be 13 to join. :ezlol:
Edit: DAMMIT VANQUISHED NINJA.

There's a fucking 11/12 year old on the site.
Rose, you are a ninja too, don't worry. x3
Thanks a lot, you guys. That cleared things up for me. (;
Panda was an exception, and Amethyst was handed an OT ban until she was 13.Quote:

And like Rose said, underage members tend to get in trouble just for being underage- like Amethyst who became an OT exile.
Panda supposedly almost got there but she got better. Another example would be Maxipad.Quote:
