NSFW channel rules
We reasonably assume that everyone on our Discord server is a responsible, reasonable, discerning and knowledgeable adult.
Accessing the NSFW channel
Access and usage of the NSFW channel is first and foremost a privilege. NSFW matters are not the primary focus of our services or our community. If you want to access #nsfw-club380, you must request access from a staff member. The requirements you must meet are as follows:
- State your age to the staff member you're making the request to. You must be at least 18 years old.
- Be at least Level 5
Once you send your request to a staff member, you will receive one unless we have compelling evidence you shouldn't be on this channel, or unless you aren't Level 5 and/or 18 years old yet. We are not responsible for enforcing or verifying what your age is beyond what you told the staff member; however if it turns out we think you shouldn't be here, your NSFW pass will be revoked and you may be punished accordingly.
Rules of the NSFW channel
The general rule of thumb is that any content posted on the NSFW channel should be appreciable and appreciated by the most people possible. The key words: "Keep it vanilla, keep it simple, keep anything else out of view and properly tagged."
The type of adult content that can be posted must follow certain rules:
- N0: The staff reserves itself the right to define what is and isn't allowed at any and all times. If you're not sure whether something is okay, then assume it falls under N3 and de-embed/tag. You may also DM staff if you're not sure.
- De-embedding links can be done by surrounding a link with < > symbols. Example here.
- "Tagging" refers to the act of warning beforehand what sort of content can be expected before you click a link, so that users who may not want to see this sort of thing have a chance to avoid it before finding out themselves.
- N1: Any content that is generally speaking real-life porn, whether amateur or professional, is allowed so long as it is vanilla and appreciable by most people.
- N2: Any content that is generally speaking drawn porn (hentai, etc.) is allowed as well, so long as it is vanilla, is professionally made (no badly drawn characters, no awful art), and appreciable by most people.
- N3: Any content that may generally not be considered vanilla must be de-embedded and tagged appropriately. Anything that does not fit the descriptions in N1 or N2, but is not explicitly disallowed as in N4. Consider anything you're not sure about to fall under N3.
- In particular, anything furry, feral, or anthropomorphic falls under that rule and must be tagged as such.
- N4: Content that is not allowed, period, includes the following:
- Dick pics and other pictures depicting you personally - please take it to DM. No exceptions.
- Very extreme or hardcore kinks (loli/shota, gore/guro, scat, vore, any other approaching extreme kinks)
- Illegal content under United States federal law. Users found to be posting illegal content are liable to an immediate permanent ban, and any relevant information staff has on infringing users will be forwarded to the relevant authorities.
Consequences
In increasing order of gravity, staff may see fit to do any of the following to inform an infringing user that they are breaking the rules:
- Warning
- Muting
- Temporary banning from the server
- Permanent banning from the server
For specific infractions related to pass-restricted channels, such as #shrine or #nsfw-club380, infringing users are also liable to temporarily or permanently lose the passes allowing access to these channels.
