Here are the rules for the -entirety- of the board. Please read them BEFORE posting!
YOU WILL HAVE TO REGISTER AND ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT TO POST ANYWHERE AND SEE MOST OF THE BOARD.
1) RESPECT. This is absolutely VITAL for this board. We ask that you please respect EVERY member of this community and keep any judgments to yourself. This is a SAFE place. And, will always remain so. If there is harassment of ANY kind, it will not be tolerated and your account will be removed and your IP banned, permanently. Zero Tolerance, on this issue.
2) If your post could be considered 'triggering' to -anyone-, PLEASE NOTE IT IN THE SUBJECT LINE!
Ex: New to the board! *possible trigger*
This enables other users to take their own risks with reading your posts.
3) Please keep signature pictures at a reasonable size. Nothing is more irritating than a signature that takes up an entire post for itself, or creates unnecessary scrollbars. An ideal MAX size for a picture signature is about height: 150, width: 300. Also, NO triggering signatures, please!
4) Most of the board is viewable by 'Members Only,' aside from the 'General Discussion' section. This is an effort to prevent 'trolling' of the board. Any 'trolls' will be deleted and banned without question.
5) Absolutely NO 'Pro-' discussions on ANYTHING. This means that you cannot post in favour of becoming addicted to things, in favour of abusing people, in favour of eating disorders, or glorifying any of them. This is a board of recovery and helping to get through it. Please, keep that in mind when posting.
6) If you choose to post your BREATHE story, and it contains anything graphically described, post the trigger warning in the subject line. Also, if you post your story and DO NOT want it to be used on the actual BREATHE-AND-RELEASE site, please state that. Some stories may be chosen to be used on the BREATHE-AND-RELEASE site and we want to make sure you are okay with that before it happens.
7) NO nudity in any of the boards!
8) Cussing. Sometimes, it's necessary to express exactly what you're feeling. However, please keep it down to mild usage when posting in regular topics.
9) Please do not engage in ANY controversial topics (religion, politics, abortion, racism, sexism, etc...) except in specified threads. Please respect each others opinions whether you agree to them or not. Should they get out of hand, they will be closed, deleted and the people responsible will be warned and possibly banned. Everyone has their own reasons for the opinions they have on subjects, respect that.
10) No 'my life is more miserable than yours' contests. Yes, these sorts of things exist and are extremely childish. This board is for support, not comparing miseries. And, it's just annoying to see it.
Eating Disorder Board Rules!
1) Absolutely NO discussions including the giving of any tips and instructions on -how- to do anything. These posts will be deleted and your account will be terminated immediately.
2) If you post full body photos of yourself, please post the 'possible trigger' warning in your subject line. You can ONLY post pictures of -yourself- there. No pictures of other members or other people. Also, PLEASE do not post pictures that might be used as Thinspo OR reverse-Thinspo for anyone that may have an eating disorder. We do not want those types of triggers on this site.
3) NO 'challenges.'
SI/Self Abuse Board Rules![/u]
1) If you post pictures of your injuries, you MUST put a trigger warning in the subject line. If photos are of recent self-harm or too brutal, they will be removed. There is no age restrictions on this site, so we do not want to "teach" anyone anything from the photos posted.
