Quick Community Guidelines

Welcome! This is an abbreviated version of our terms of service, and should help new members quickly understand the rules of the community. Any questions can be directed to support@downlowconfessions.com

In short, this is a Community of Positive Support, where members share the experiences important to them (health, children, pets, relationships), to connect with people who understand them without being judged or embarrassed. With that in mind, here are the abbreviated community standards you should know...

1. Have Fun: This is a fun, positive, supportive place, where you can express your true self
    
2. Maintain Privacy: Don't reveal information that could directly identify you or others in your posts or private messages (names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, locations, etc.). Search engines are capable of crawling this, and any other site's, public content (e.g., stories, but not private messages), so take common sense precautions about what you publicly post anywhere on the internet, including DownLow Confessions (DLC).
    
3. No Solicitations: Political campaigning, religious preaching, and commercial advertisements in any site content, including private messages, is not allowed. If you would like to advertise on DownlowConfessions please contact support@downlowconfessions.com. No Spam: Chain letters, mass mailings, and duplicate postings are not allowed on DownLowConfessions (DLC). Please post each story once, to the most appropriate group.
    
4. No Children: This site is intended only for users 16 years of age and older. If you are under 18, you may use DownLowConfessions only with involvement of a parent or guardian. No one under the age of 16 is permitted to use the site.
    
5. No Professional Advice: Nothing communicated on this site should take the place of a trained professional (doctor, psychologist, lawyer, accountant, etc.). This site is for peer-to-peer entertainment and support, and should never be used as a replacement for the advice and care of a trained professional.
    
6. No Sexually Lascivious Material: While DownLowConfessions (DLC) is open to all experiences that impact your life, including those that involve sexuality, DownLowConfessions (DLC) is NOT a place for fantasy, titillation, sexual harassment, or sexual solicitation. Do NOT send another member unsolicited or unprovoked sexual content.
    
7. Be Yourself: Do not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the orgin of an entry. Duplicate accounts are NOT allowed
    
8. Respect Copyright: Do not post anything that infringes on intellectual properties rights, or violates copyright.
    
9. No Hate: Content against another member or group of people (ethnicities, cultures, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) is NOT allowed.
    
10. No Child Harm Groups: Topics advocating ideas that have been shown to be directed to, or directly harmful to, children are not allowed and will be removed when they are reported (e.g., pro-anorexia groups).
     
11. Self-Policing: The community is self-policing,  DownLowConfessions staff is not able to actively examine content unless it is brought to our attention. If you find such content please drop us an email at support@downlowconfessions.com.

Members Violating Any of the Above Can and Will be Removed from the Site without notice.
