carrion Community Rules

carrion is a community for adult roleplayers to connect and explore creative stories together. We believe in freedom of expression within legal and ethical boundaries, and we're committed to fostering a space that's welcoming, respectful, and safe for all users.

• Treat other users with courtesy and respect
• Accept "no" gracefully - harassment or pressuring others after a declined request is prohibited
• Respect boundaries and preferences listed in profiles
• Keep OOC (out of character) disagreements civil

Character Profiles:

• Your character profiles are treated to a high standard as they are what is publicly available and most easily looked at
• Character profiles can be temporarily hidden from view if there are egregious rule violations on them (slur use, marginalizing language, etc.)

Public Chatrooms:

• Public chats are shared spaces. Conduct yourself the way you would at a restaurant or café, not your living room.
• This means basic social awareness: don't be hostile, don't pick fights, don't make the space uncomfortable for everyone else.
• "I was just being honest" or "they're being too sensitive" aren't defenses. If people are telling you something landed poorly, that's the feedback.
• Moderators judge behavior by its effect, not by whether it technically violates a specific bullet point. If you're looking for loopholes, you've already missed the point.

Channel Moderation:

Public channels fall into two categories:

• General-interest channels (music, gaming, art, general chat) are community commons. If you moderate one, you're a custodian, not a gatekeeper. You may remove users for conduct—disruption, harassment, derailing—but not for identity or character type unrelated to the channel's purpose.
• Affinity channels (#lesbians, #furries, #latex) may restrict membership when that restriction serves the channel's stated purpose. A channel for women may limit membership to women. A channel for video games may not. A channel for women in gaming may.

The test: does this restriction serve the channel's topic, or is it just moderator preference? If you want full control over who joins without justification, make the channel unlisted and advertise it. Public channels get discoverability; the tradeoff is openness.

Patterns of arbitrary exclusion—banning character types, demographics, or users for reasons unrelated to conduct or channel purpose—may result in loss of moderator status or channel reassignment.

Private Chatrooms:

• You have more latitude in private, but "private" doesn't mean "anything goes"
• If you're an asshole and someone reports you, you can still get in trouble

The following are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination and reporting to authorities:

CSEM (Child Sexual Exploitation Material):

• Real or photorealistic images/videos of minors in sexual contexts
• This includes AI-generated content that appears photorealistic

Bestiality Media:

• Real photographs or videos of sexual acts with animals

Snuff/Extreme Gore:

• Real images or videos depicting death, murder, or extreme bodily harm
• Actual footage or photographs of violence, torture, or fatal injuries

Other Illegal Content:

• Revenge porn or non-consensually shared intimate images
• Content obtained through hacking or unauthorized access
• Any content that violates local, state, or federal laws

What IS allowed:

• Text-based fictional roleplay between consenting adults (including ageplay scenarios with fictional characters)
• Drawings, artwork, anime-style content, and clearly fictional visual media
• Fantasy content that is clearly not depicting real people or events

• No slurs, hate speech, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics
• No promotion of extremist ideologies or violence
• This is a progressive, queer-friendly space. Reactionary politics, "just asking questions" about marginalized groups' rights, or fascist apologia is not welcome here.

• All participants in any roleplay or exchange must be consenting adults (18+)
• Don't send unsolicited sexual content or roleplays
• Establish boundaries and expectations before starting intimate roleplays
• Either party can withdraw consent at any time

• One account per person (multiple characters are fine, but not multiple accounts)
• Don't impersonate other users or public figures
• Don't share accounts or account credentials
• Don't attempt to bypass bans or suspensions

• Don't share personal information (yours or others') without explicit consent
• Don't dox, threaten, or harass other users
• Don't attempt to coordinate off-platform harassment
• Report concerning behavior using our reporting tools

• Don't spam, flood, or excessively advertise
• Don't use bots or automation without permission
• Don't engage in financial scams or solicitation
• Don't attempt to exploit or hack the platform

Violations of these rules may result in:

• Warning: For first-time or minor infractions
• Profile Block: Hides your profile from view or access until the problem is fixed. Used for rule violations found on character profiles.
• Chat Mute: Prevents you from speaking in chat for the duration of the mute. You can still use other site features.
• Temporary Ban: Prevents you from doing anything on the site for the duration. Used for repeated or more serious violations.
• Permanent Ban: For severe violations, illegal content, or repeated infractions. Prevents all site access. Will also add discriminators to all your characters so that the names are freed up for other users.

Appeals: If you believe a moderation action was taken in error, you may appeal by contacting support. Include your username and a clear explanation of why you believe the action was incorrect.

carrion is an adult-only platform. All users must be 18 years of age or older. By using this platform, you confirm that you meet this requirement. We reserve the right to request age verification and to terminate accounts that cannot verify they meet our age requirements.

These rules may be updated from time to time. Continued use of carrion after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated rules. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
