Hey, guys!!!
This announcement is directed at EVERYONE who uses or wants to use chat.
Please read EVERYTHING here
For a while, we've had extremely strict enforcement in FS as to what we allow in there. While this has benefits, it also can result in people feeling like we're spoilsports and the enforcement can be somewhat selective. So, we're changing all that. The rules remain the same in essence, but they are going to be clarified.
Sex:
We do not want full blown cyber sex. That said, we are going to be more liberal with our definitions. Anything penetrative is right out, no oral sex either. Anything too graphic or explicit is out. That said, we WILL allow touching, teasing and the use of toys, as long as the way it is described is not too vulgar. Kissing, massaging, touching elsewhere, spanking, nudity and so on are allowed
Consent matters
If anyone is caught forcing someone to engage in activities they know make them uncomfortable, we will kick them. To allow for playful rejection, if you do not want something to happen, convey it via a whisper. Anything said in a whisper is sacrosanct and if you are asked to stop in a whisper, you stop IMMEDIATELY
No Godmoding. The game is only fun if everyone plays by the same rules. If something has to stop, say so, don't magic your way out.
Violence:
After deliberation, we've decided that violence is simply too ambiguous to regulate based on acts. Enforcement here will be based on graphic descriptions. You can be violent with each other, just don't do it in a way that will make people feel sick.
Enforcement:
If you're not part of something, but you feel it goes too far, there are three options:
1. Whisper and ask them to tone it down. If you are asked, please at least try to make language less explicit
2. Whisper or PM staff members and have them make a call
3. Leave the room for a while
We're all adults here. Our hope, above all else, is that we can allow our members the freedom to play around without having to stand over their shoulder with a crop 24/7. Assuming that works for everyone, go forth and roleplay!!!
