The Rules and Terms and Conditions

These are the terms of service for adult.18plus.social; please read them before using adult.18plus.social.

Behaviour

If you want to get booted, be an idiot.

Not sure what we might construe to be idiotic behaviour? Use your judgement. But if the answer to, “could my post be construed as insulting/troublemaking?”, is YES, you are being an idiot.

Booted people may be able to rejoin, or may be blacklisted and banned from this relay.

There is no appeal system. Don’t like this relay? Run your own.

Money

Right now only one off charges can be levied, but that won’t support the service long term. We will need to charge a regular fee at some point. When that point comes we MIGHT keep existing people at no charge, or move everyone to regular. You paid 6969sats, that’s less than a cup of coffee. We expect any regular fee to be less than $1 per month.

Content

This is an adult relay. Adult content may happen.

YOU are responsible for your posts and how they interact with the law where you live. That said :-

This is NOT a US based Relay. FSSW are welcome and may post freely.

SELLING content is allowed. (Example, posting a trailer and saying “Zap me 90000sats for the scene”).

EVERYTHING must be UK legal. As relay operators we like to keep very clear blue water between what is posted here and what could be considered extreme porn under UK law. Short version – no pissing on people, no blood (not even fake), no faeces (not even fake), no oversized or edged objects, no harm or things that if “tried at home by an uninformed person” could cause harm to them of their partner. We don’t make the rules, and not only do we not want content that might break them, we don’t want content that makes us ask about the possibility.

Obviously anything that is illegal all over, must not be posted.
