"Support Board" rules

[Wes]

The No-Porn.com Support Board is for helping to heal those whose lives have been harmed by pornography. This includes addicts and other users, their family members and friends. It is assumed that most people posting here are experiencing, or learning to experience, pain. This does not justify inflicting pain on others. For that reason, the following rules will be adhered to by all board members.

TROLLING or taunting board members is not permitted. Posts that are deemed by Board moderators to deliberately incite anger or contention will not be permitted. Defending pornography is not permitted. Participation in this forum assumes you consider pornography to be problematic and harmful. If a moderator judges a post to passively provoke contention, it will be removed and the author will receive an explanation and possibly a warning.

ABUSIVE POSTS are not permitted. Verbally abusive posts ("flames") will be deleted and the authors may without warning be banned from this board. Using a seperate venue to abuse members here is also not permitted. If you choose to verbally abuse members of this board here or elsewhere, you will be asked to cease and at the administrator's discretion, be suspended or banned from the board.

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY is the visual record of child sexual abuse. It is illegal worldwide. If you (or someone you know) is involved with child pornography, your needs exceed the scope of this board. Please seek professional help immediately. Perpetrators of child sexual abuse, including users of child pornography, will be reported immediately to law enforcement at http://www.missingkids.com.

SEXUALLY EXPLICIT language or images are not permitted. While this site discusses pornography, including its impact on healthy sexuality, excessive detail or graphic content is not permitted and will be removed by board moderators. Sometimes what may seem excessive to one is not to another. If there is a question in the author's mind regarding the appropriateness of the post, the 'trigger' button should be used to mask the specific content and warn readers of potential 'triggering' material.

AGE: You must be at least 18 years old to post.

COPYRIGHTS: Never reprint articles and other copyrighted material on this site as it is against international copyright law. You may provide a link to the information, and/or a brief summary of the content. In addition, all posts on this board become the property of No-porn.com. You may not republish this material in any form without permission.

While this board seeks to foster open communication on a subject that many have been unable to discuss, we place more value on civility, kindness and recovery than on so-called "free speech." Your participation here is welcomed and assumes you agree to these rules.
