RULES

#1. No posting of any illegal content. Doing so will result in up to: a lifetime ban and, in extreme cases; such as the posting of child pornography- law enforcement involvement.

Some examples of illegal content involve: stolen personal images (i.e. revenge porn), buying and selling illegal narcotics, pirated materials, child pornography. blatant 'Lolicon'/'shotacon' content will be treated as illegal for the purpose of this rule.

#2. Report illegal content. If you come across content you believe to fall under Rule #1. You are required to report that content. Keeping voidchan safe is everyone's collective responsibility. Report these posts. Do not bump such posts.

#3. No posting of dangerous content. This includes but is not limited to bomb-making instructions, troll instructions that lead to dangerous outcomes (no matter how obvious) etc.

#4. Absolutely no Doxing or sharing of sensitive personal information (including your own). Doxing someone will result in a ban. Posts including your own personal information are subject to moderator discretion but may be deleted without notice.

Clarification: Doxing for the sake of this rule includes the sharing of any or all private personal information without the other person's consent. This includes but is not limited to: Pictures of the individual, private chat logs with the individual, user information of the individual from other platforms, in addition to identifying information. IF YOU WANT TO SHARE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION please do so only with consent of the other individual.
Exceptions may be considered where the other party is not a member of the community: E.g. You had a weird text conversation with some girl on Tinder- But only if information such as the username and profile picture are edited out.

#5. No 'raiding'. Do not 'raid' the website from other websites and do not conduct 'raids' from the website to other websites.

Clarification: If you're just going to come here from (or on behalf of other users) of a certain website which will remain un-named in this document and rile up users and then report them that will be treated as a violation of Rule #5. Whether or not you are acting alone or in a group.

#6. No stalking, and/or harassment. People are welcome to engage in heated discussion. However where site staff believes such behavior approaches the line that would cross into illegal threats/harassment/stalking etc or interrupts another users enjoyment of the site staff intervention WILL occur- and in extreme cases (i.e. real life stalking) could result in law-enforcement involvement.

Clarification #1: suffixing the abovementioned behaviors with "lol jk" does not give you a free pass. For example telling somebody on the internet that you know where they live couldn't possibly serve any other purpose than physical intimidation.

Clarification #2: showing up in a user's threads constantly in order to stir up drama and/or intentionally evading any post-filters they might have set constitutes interrupting of their enjoyment of the site.

7. NSFW content posted outside of #MATURE# tagged threads must be spoilered using the "spoiler image" checkbox next to the post button. Unspoilered tasteful/artistic nudity (partial and whole) is allowed pending moderator discretion.
If available on the particular board if a thread is tagged "#MATURE#" in the subject line (currently only on /void/ and /ev/) NSFW content may be posted openly in that thread. Users can hide the images in #MATURE# threads when viewing the index by clicking a #MATURE# link. Red means shown, green means hidden.

#8. No zoophilia/snuff/gore/scat/piss/loli/shota/ This content will be deleted and repeat offenses may result in a ban. Staff may, at their discretion, remove or spoiler content that they feel, despite not being explicitly disallowed, was posted with the intention of causing visual disgust.

Clarification #1: Furry/scalie art does not count as zoophilia and is allowed as long as NFSW posting procedures are followed.

Clarification #2: Fictional gore/violence likely won't be treated as gore unless it is extreme and a credible report is received. What constitutes extreme is up to moderator discretion. Moderators will generally err on the side of leniency if spoiler tags are properly used.

#9. Use /meta/ for any complaints/grievances regarding site operation. 'meta posting' off of /meta/ is subject to thread closure/deletion.

#10. No spamming, flooding, or any other behaviors that result in the disruption of the website.

#11. Keep interpersonal drama to a minimum. What constitutes excessive interpersonal drama is at staff discretion.
