Personal Attacks
Personal attacks on any member or staff member of this forum or any other forum such as Social Anxiety Support (SAS) will not be tolerated. Any post, message, or other content which is judged by the moderators to be defamatory, degrading, threatening, humiliating, insulting or hurtful in any way to another member of the community will be edited or deleted at the moderators' discretion. Please do not join to attack members from other forums.
Inappropriate Content
All content must conform to the following conditions:
* Content describing illegal acts or that is obscene, indecent, harmful to others’ computers, or that violates the law is not permitted.
* Images, videos, GIFs, or audio containing graphic violence, pornography, or other offensive or distressing material are not permitted. Posting any pornographic content will result in an immediate ban. Posts containing nudity which is not necessarily pornographic will not result in a ban unless deemed graphic enough.
Swearing is allowed on this forum, but it must not be directed in an offensive manner towards another member.
Spamming
Spamming will not be tolerated, which includes: blatant, excessive or inappropriate promotion or advertising of any product, service, website or board; pyramid schemes or referral games; posting multiple threads; use of multiple accounts; excessively long signatures; and/or any post deemed spam due to irrelevance or nuisance in nature. Links from recently registered accounts will met with more scrutiny. Don't register on our forum to immediately promote your personal or commercial site.
Bigotry
Any content which is deemed by the staff to contain racial, sexual, religious, or any other kind of bigotry will be locked, edited or removed. This includes excessive gender stereotyping and inciting or engaging in gender "wars."
Harassment
Posts or messages to other members that are intended to cause discomfort or intimidation are not permitted. This includes repeatedly contacting or referring to other members after being asked to refrain, and repeatedly targeting other members without naming them. Individual incidents may also constitute harassment if judged by staff to be serious enough. Anyone found to be using SAS in ways that are inappropriate, such as harming others for their own personal or monetary gain, or stalking or harassing other members will immediately be permanently banned even if this behavior occurs outside of the forums. These offenses are serious, and as a result, they will be dealt with accordingly. As many members of SAF are vulnerable, this rule will be strictly enforced.
Suicide and Self-Mutilation
If you are currently thinking about harming or killing yourself, please seek help immediately. Discussing your feelings is fine, but please do not share means or plans of suicide or self-mutilation. It is very important that you seek help.
In the case that another member discusses their suicidal feelings, if you are replying to them in any way, please try to be as supportive as you can towards them in terms of being there for them and seeking help. Do not encourage them to hurt themselves or commit suicide. Doing so will result in an immediate ban.
Conflicts
If you have any issue or problem with material posted in this forum, or with the behavior of another community member, please make a report or email or PM the staff for a confidential discussion of the issue. Inciting (such as through baiting) or engaging in conflict (e.g. fighting or quarreling beyond a civil exchange; publicly calling out/discussing another member) is not permitted.
Who Has It Worse
This site is not a competition - it's not about whose particular brand of suffering is the worse, who suffers more than whom, or who has the right to call their problems Social Anxiety. This includes comparisons of suffering between the genders. The belittlement of others' suffering will not be tolerated. "Body shaming" posts are not acceptable as many other users have similar body types or concerns, and will also negatively identify. Many users struggle with body issues, eating disorders and appearance related anxiety and we encourage helpful support and positive discussion in making efforts to improve, not dwell on or discuss in frustration what is considered ugly or unwanted.
