Rules and Guidelines ***UPDATED: August 4th, 2021***

All I see is a picture of rule 1 and rule 2a.

It's an embedded document. You can scroll down in it.

To those not seeing the rules properly due to using outdated web browsers, just open the site on your phone (or some other device) and consult the scroll-down document on the first post. Alternatively, you can (and probably should) update your web browser.

I tried that before I posted the first time. It doesn't work. I can click and get rule 3 to come up, as I've since discovered. Nothing scrolls.

Thanks for your help. By using Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox, I was able to scroll down and see rules 1. to 8.

Excellent. Yes, it's often a web browser issue.
Chrome or Edge are usually the best ways to go if something is not displaying properly.

I have updated the original post to include an external link to the rules, as well as an indication that the document is scrollable.

It works on a computer, as I can see now. It did not work on my phone earlier, contrary to what was said before (the Google Drive link does, though).

Why is it not just written in text in a post like...literally everything else on this site? I seem to recall that being the case in the past. That would make things a lot simpler.

I never had issues accessing the rules, and have even downloaded a copy when I first joined so I could have them handy without having to go online. I occasionally recheck them online to make sure that my downloaded copy is not out of date.

I always thought that's why the rules were posted as they are, so that interested parties could download them with ease without having to cut and paste from a post.

Nowhere in the rules does it mention anything about SM or BDSM.

I'm not worrying about SM or BDSM bedroom games or dungeon play. My concern is that my stories feature real, no-fooling chattel slavery, albeit in various not-the-real-world settings, and depict this chattel slavery as being something other than strictly villainous.

It mentions extreme violence, glorification/endorsement of incest, child predation, mutilation.
Most importantly, no sexual underdones during tie up situations between adults & minors.

It also pointedly notes that "incest, child predation, mutilation/extreme pain" is NOT a complete list, and that anything the Admins decide is "controversial" can be immediately removed and the controversial content added to that list.

I am well aware of the rules. I was part of the team that helped put them together.

I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. I've gone through your slavery-themed fantasy stories and they are quite docile. These are your works, so feel free to keep them up or remove them at your own discretion. Nothing of what you stated in your previous post is at all concerning to us.

@bondagefreak
Thank you; you've told me what I needed to know. I deliberately wrote my slavery-themed fantasy stories to be 'quite docile' (for reasons unrelated to my posting them here). But Rule 6 is open-ended in what it covers, and if the moderators were hostile to or triggered by slavery themes, then Rule 6 would allow them to bring down the ban-hammer.

But you've told me that the mods are unconcerned, and that answers my original question.
