House Rules

1. 18+ Only

MASQUERADE (18+) is an adult space. No exceptions, no disguises.

Staff interpretation:

• Anyone suspected or reported as underage must be escalated immediately.

• Jokes about being underage require intervention.

• Fake IDs or AI-aged images = instant removal and admin review.

• Verification logs must remain strict; no “benefit of the doubt.”

2. Verification Required

Unverified guests are automatically escorted out.

Staff interpretation:

• Unverified users auto-kick after the set timer — do not override.

• If a member re-enters repeatedly without verifying, warn then remove for evasion.

• Any verification concern (image quality, alteration, mismatch) → escalate.

3. Consent Is Sacred

“No” ends the moment. Applies to chats, media, and DMs.

Staff interpretation:

• Unwanted sexual messages = actionable.

• Staff must step in immediately when consent issues surface.

• If a member screenshots DM harassment, open a ticket, log the proof, escalate.

• Flirting is fine; pressure or guilt-tripping is not.

4. Keep It Classy

No harassment, hate, kink-shaming, or manipulative behavior.

Staff interpretation:

• Any personal, ongoing conflict must be redirected or cooled down.

• Hate speech or slurs = zero tolerance.

• Patterns of hostility → warnings → removal.

• Manipulation (love-bombing, guilt-trips, “answer me or else”) should be documented.

5. Respect DM Roles

Always check before messaging.

Staff interpretation:

• If someone reports an unwanted DM, verify roles and intent.

• Non-DM-role members initiating sexual DMs = violation.

• Repeat offenders → warn or action based on severity.

6. Use Good Judgment

Don’t test limits or exploit loopholes.

Staff interpretation:

• Ambiguous behavior meant to skirt rules should still be addressed.

• “Technically I didn’t break a rule” isn’t a defense.

• Staff discretion applies — you may intervene before a problem escalates.

7. Illegal = Gone

No underage, AI fakes, non-consensual, or revenge content.

Staff interpretation:

• Immediate removal and admin escalation.

• Secure evidence → do not download unless reporting.

• Never confront the user publicly; handle discreetly.

8. This Isn’t a Marketplace

No selling, trading, or sugaring.

Staff interpretation:

• Includes: selling content, seeking paid interactions, escorting, financial domination, PPV links, etc.

• First offense: remove content + warn. Serious cases: ban.

9. NSFW Belongs in NSFW

Stay on theme. Max 3 cross-posts.

Staff interpretation:

• NSFW outside NSFW = delete + warn.

• Repeated mis-posting = disciplinary action.

• Cross-post cap must be enforced; warn after 3.

10. No Saving Content

Screenshots or downloads only if reporting.

Staff interpretation:

• If someone admits saving others’ NSFW content casually → intervene.

• If content was saved to report: instruct them to attach only what’s needed.

• Protect victims’ privacy at all times.

11. 420-Friendly, Not Hard Drug Friendly

Keep it mellow.

Staff interpretation:

• Casual weed references are fine.

• Hard drug talk (use, buying, selling) must be removed and addressed.

• No glamorizing addiction or illegal drug activity.

12. Drama-Free Zone

No baiting, spam, or deleted tags to stir chaos.

Staff interpretation:

• Delete baiting messages early to prevent escalation.

• If members bring outside drama in, redirect or separate the parties.

• Pattern of stirring chaos → warn → escalate.

13. Stay in Your Lane

Use the right channels for each vibe and voice.

Staff interpretation:

• Redirect misplaced content politely.

• Repeat offenders get a warning.

• Staff should model proper channel use.

14. English Only

So everyone — staff included — can follow along.

Staff interpretation:

• The goal is comprehension and safety — staff must be able to moderate.

• If a member posts in another language, ask them politely to switch.

• Repeated multilingual posting = warning.

15. Staff Decisions Hold

Don't argue or mini-mod.

Staff interpretation:

• Staff members should never argue with each other in public channels.

• If a user disputes a staff action, redirect them to a ticket.

• Never reverse another staff member’s decision without discussion.

• Internal disagreements happen in private spaces only.

16. Need Help? Open a ticket.

Staff interpretation:

• Always direct serious issues to tickets.

• If a member struggles or escalates emotionally, open the ticket for them.

• Document actions clearly to help the next staff member.
