NSFW Rules

We understand that discussions and content surrounding adult themes are a part of human expression, but we want to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all members of our community. As such, we have established the following rules regarding NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content within our community, taking into consideration legal requirements and community preferences.

Prohibition of Explicit and Offensive Material

Any content that falls under explicit categories such as pornography, gore, or NSFL (Not Safe For Life) content is strictly prohibited. This policy is not only in accordance with legal mandates, but also aligns with our community's values and the comfort of our members. We prioritize maintaining a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone.

Legal Compliance with German Law

We operate within the legal framework of Germany, as our server is hosted in the country. This means that all content shared on our platform must adhere to German laws and regulations, including those pertaining to explicit content. Violating these laws can result in severe consequences for both our community and individual members. If you feel unsure about a particular topic, contact our Mod Team.

Nude Art and Artistic Expression

We recognize that nudity can be a form of artistic expression and creativity. Therefore, content that falls within the realm of nude photography or similar artistic presentations is allowed within our community, provided that it meets the standards of artistic expression and creativity. Such content should be shared with a genuine artistic intent and must follow the guidelines outlined below.

Proper Labeling and Content Warnings (CWs)

In the spirit of maintaining a considerate and respectful environment, all NSFW content, including artistic nudity, must be appropriately labeled using Content Warnings (CWs). This allows members to make informed decisions about their engagement with such content. Make sure that the CWs provide a clear indication of the type of content that will be encountered, ensuring that individuals can opt in or out based on their preferences.

Respect for Individual Comfort Zones

While artistic nudity is permitted with the appropriate CWs, we understand that personal boundaries may vary. Members are encouraged to respect each other's comfort zones and preferences when sharing or discussing NSFW content. If someone expresses discomfort or asks for a specific type of content not to be shared with them, please honor their request and avoid sharing such content with them.
