Based on the above information, Staff has found something we has suspected and seen before based on a previous survey - the site age demographic is trending towards older users. It seems that generally a majority of our users feel like there is no issues with violence and it is generally at a level comparable to that of the books.
It is for this reason we have decided to add a disclaimer to the site, which serves to warn the userbase that content can generally be considered rated at a PG-13 level. This is the basis for the level of what content is and is not allowed on the site; this basis also includes continuing restrictions on adult content we already have in place. It should be noted that this rating is not to exclude those of our userbase who are younger than 13, but rather provide a more concrete idea of the level of graphic content that is allowed on the site and set proper expectations.
Additionally, the matter of content warnings arose. After much discussion, we have come to the conclusion that with this general basis of content and the restrictions we have on what should and should not be allowed, that content warnings are not necessary for topics that are allowed on the site. Users are more than welcome to add content warnings to their own posts as they see fit but it is not something that we plan to restrict or control. Those who feel uncomfortable with particular content matter are always welcome to bring it to staff but please keep in mind the parameters put into place. If something is not violating a rule on the site, there is little we can do to correct it.
Rule Breaking InformationStaff has decided to add a section regarding the consequences for those who break the rules of the site and the discord. That information can be found
here. Included are also guidelines for reporting rule-breaking, and ban appeals for those who have been banned from the discord, or site and discord. Hopefully this section will help to provide clarity and information for users going forward.
Again, we want to thank everyone for participating in the survey and giving their feedback! It helps us to make changes going forward. Those with any questions are more than welcome to reach out to any staff member for clarity.
