These rules apply to all the support boards.
1. Personal attacks are not permitted under any circumstances. We don't care *who* started it. If you're having problems with someone on the board, please talk to an admin or a moderator about it. We'll try to help you work it out.
2. Be careful about posting graphic details of sexual situations, of abuse, and of violence. Before you post them, ask yourself how much detail is necessary.Use the subject line to let people know what to expect in your post.
3. Do not post asking for methods of self-injury or describing them in detail. It's okay to say "I cut" but not "I honed a beet to a fine edge and slashed with it."
4. Do not re-post private mail or messages without the consent of the person who wrote them. This includes instant messaging and IRC conversations as well as email and other written conversations.
5. If you're not sure whether something is okay to post or not, check with a member of the board staff.
6. What's said here stays here. You may think you're doing someone a favor by telling his partner what he posts, but that decision belongs to the person who has to live with the consequences of disclosure.
7. Suicide notes and threats are not permitted. Also, do not post asking if something is an overdose. If you think you have taken an overdose, phone Poison Control or a pharmacy. We are not medical professionals -- we don't know for sure.
8. If you're asking for help here, be willing to listen to what's said. If you're asking for help with an immediate self-harm situation, put down your tools before you log on to the board. If you still want to hurt yourself later, it's your choice, but it's unfair to ask for help while holding imminent self-harm over someone. Do not threaten to hurt yourself if you don't get the response you want or if someone doesn't answer you.
9. Do not link to or post pictures of self-inflicted wounds or pictures of things you wouldn't be allowed to post about -- no blood, no porn, etc. Do not link to pro-si or pro-ed sites, including journals and journal communities.
10. If a post makes you angry, stop and let it sit awhile before answering. Think about what the anger is related to and how you want to respond. Take a walk, talk to a mod or admin, or do something else to cool down. Please don't try to enforce the board rules on your own -- report violations to the mods and let them deal with it.
11. No commercial ads. No solicitation or requests for money. No spamming. You can mention your website, but if you're a new member and all you've ever done is post to advertise your website the post will likely be removed.
And remember, this page is to be supportive and caring towards those who need it, and not judgmental.
