Regarding M-Rated Posts
1) Note that this site is rated T, as in age 13 and above.
2) Ponder the meaning of the letter T, and think of its boundaries. It's very likely that your potential M-rated thread can be tweaked to fit into them.
3) Think of the children. Although technically you have to be at least 13 to join, we all know how well that rule is enforced. Remember that children are curious, especially about things that are off-limits.
4) Stop and think. Do you really want to do this?
5) Reconsider your life.
6) Ponder some more. Take a long walk through the park.
7) Meditate. Find peace with yourself and the world.
8) Remember that M stands for both mature and mild. If you have an M-rated thread, it should be because it just barely goes beyond T-rated.
9) If at all possible, roleplay the thread in PM's. Or better yet, email them.
10) Don't try to write an M-rated thread just because you think it will make you look cool. It won't. Chances are it will suck, and you will just look like a n00bish 10-year-old who tries to write scenes beyond your years in three line posts.
11) M-rated threads should still have content. Don't make them just to be dirty.
12) If you absolutely, positively must make an M rated thread, there are three things you have to do:
- Mark that it is an M-rated thread at the beginning of the thread name.
ex: "[M] My love life in detail"
- At the beginning of the first post, restate that the thread is rated M in a very conspicuous way.
ex: WARNING: THIS THREAD IS RATED M! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- When you post the actual thread, change the color of the text so that it has to be highlighted to be read.
ex: Highlight this to read it.
13) If you step too far over the line, your thread may be deleted with or without prior notice, and you will be told the error of your ways.
14) Don't be a perv.
15) Excessive abuse of M-rated threads may cause you to get banned (but not without several warnings--you'll see it coming). If all you want to do is post extremely graphic violence and sex scenes, go find a different site.
IMPORTANT: Marking a thread as M-rated does NOT give you a license to do whatever you want there, it just serves as a warning flag for others.
Hilariously, righteously, and prudishly but sincerely and truly written by Hidden. Of course. Who else would have even bothered? < / 3 to you, Hidden.
