These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on The Roundtable. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

1. THIS FORUM IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR ADULTS. NO MINORS.

   1. Given the nature of this forum’s primary subject matters, all users MUST be both 18 or older and have reached the age of majority in their home country, no exceptions. You agreed to this rule when signing up. If you are discovered to have been lying about your age, you will be considered in breach of ToS and removed from the forum immediately. #

2. By default, this space is SFW.

   1. To be clear, SFW for the purposes of this forum is in reference to genitalia or explicitly sexual acts. We aren’t gonna ding you for posting big tummy on the big tummy forum. We WILL ding you for posting genitalia in SFW spaces though. #
   2. Nipples, regardless of gender presentation, are permitted in SFW spaces. #
   3. Some topics, given they are a touch more sensitive than others, should be posted with an appropriate content warning.
      
      Topics allowed in SFW spaces, yet needing a content warning:
      -Healthplay
      -Slob
      -Bursting/Popping (cartoonish)
      -Vore (Cartoonish/Endo)
      
      Topics that MUST be posted in NSFW forums -AND- need a content warning:
      -Bursting (Gorey)
      -Vore (Hard Vore, Gorey) #

3. There are designated spaces/subforums where NSFW posting is allowed.

   1. These will only be accessible by users given the corresponding role. To be given this role, you must reach out to a moderator and confirm that
      
      A) You are not a minor
      
      B) you consent to seeing NSFW content
      
      C) You have an existing community member who can and will vouch for your addition to these NSFW spaces.
      
      This is to add an extra layer of safety for everyone involved and ensure we’re fostering an environment where everyone feels safe. #

4. Light Roleplay is Permitted.

   1. Light interactions, leaning into the theming, basic *Nods and wobbles* type stuff to add emphasis or a flourish to your posts are all perfectly fine on the forum. It's fun to express yourself sometimes! That being said, anything more complex or involved needs to be taken to Private Messages, or Somewhere off-site. The moderation team does not have the time or energy to effectively monitor roleplay scenes. #

5. This Forum is English only

   1. Please only use English when posting on this forum. We currently do not have the staff/infrastructure in place to effectively moderate conversations in any other language. #

6. There is ZERO Tolerance towards Generative AI Content

   1. GenAI is strictly prohibited, whether it’s content created by GenAI, or promoting GenAI. If you are caught utilizing it or defending its use, you will be removed from the forum. #

7. No Illegal Content

   1. Piracy and Excessively Violent, Shocking, or otherwise Illegal content, etc etc. Are strictly prohibited. If you think it'd get you in trouble with the law, this forum is not the place for it. #

8. There is ZERO tolerance towards Queerphobia, Transphobia, Racism, Xenophobia, and general bigotry.

   1. This space is a safe one, meant to be open and comfortable for Queer Individuals and other vulnerable groups. As such, it is considered left-leaning. We don’t have the time or energy for fence-straddlers or those interested in “arguing both sides” as it were. If you are caught violating this rule, there are no strikes. You’re out. Irony cannot shield you from this. #

9. Be Respectful!

   1. Treat others as you’d like to be treated! Don’t Insult, Harass, demean, or otherwise attack other members of the forum. This includes public exchanges as well as private messages. This also includes using slurs in your posts even if you feel you have “permission” to use them. #
   2. If there is a conflict, we expect you to be able to handle it like reasonable adults, preferably in private. Conflicts and personal pain should not be made into public spectacle. This being said, If you feel unsafe or unable to resolve something privately, please reach out to an admin or moderator for assistance. #
   3. It should be noted that “Size Queening” (that is, dismissing or otherwise talking down on another based on a difference in size or size preference) is considered disrespectful behavior in this community. Everyone enjoys enormity in a variety of different ways. Sometimes you may be bigger than someone else, other times you may not be. Sometimes you may prefer a different body type or range of sizes than another. Whatever the difference may be, it cannot be used as a basis to demean your fellow forumgoers. Everyone is deserving of the same level of respect here. #

10. RESPECT ONE ANOTHER’S BOUNDARIES!

    1. Here, Consent is King. If you make a tease or comment towards someone else and they tell you they’re not into that or they want you to stop, you stop. Violating another’s boundaries can and will result in administrative action up to and including removal from the forum #

11. Credit the Original Artist when posting or sharing art and other media

    1. This is common etiquette. If you are not the creator of a piece of art or otherwise, please be sure to properly credit whoever is. At the very least, give a username. If possible, linking to the original creator’s social media or personal gallery would be preferable. #

12. If you are unsure something is permitted under these rules, reach out to and ask an admin

    1. Exactly as it says on the tin. Questions may arise as to what is allowed and what’s not. In those cases, you can reach out to an Administrator to ask for clarification/assistance. #

13. These rules can be subject to change

    1. This Forum is still a work in progress and as such rules may need to change, expanded upon, or further clarified over time. Please review these rules regularly, to ensure you’re behaving in line with established community guidelines. #
