ETHICS & GUIDELINES for AdultsSA.
Revised & Updated 23rd August 2010.

AdultsSA is above all else a website of wonderfully diverse individuals. These guidelines aim to give you a feel of how we expect people to behave. They are pretty much all common sense, but do not cover every scenario. Hopefully, however, you will get from them the spirit of the website. AdultsSA is your naughty online home away from home. It is a place where you can express your opinions, share your experiences and learn about different lifestyles without being judged. Treat people and ideas with respect and chances are pretty good that you will be treat in kind.

Continued membership of AdultsSA is based on the Terms of Use and these Guidelines. Behave in an inappropriate manner and we will have give you a nudge to get you back on the right track, keep doing it and we will kick you out. You don't want that, we don't want that, so if you don't feel you can moderate your behaviour as outlined below, then maybe AdultsSA isn't for you.

So...

ENJOY YOURSELF!
See the world from other perspectives, participate in conversations, find a special friend to share your experiences, expand your horizons! Enjoy yourself.

PLAY NICE!
We`re a diverse bunch of people. Not everyone here will think what you think, believe what you believe or see what you see. Tolerance, understanding, politeness and respect in your all communications goes a long way to making this a pleasant place to be. Any public attacks, hate speech, racial slurs, etc, in fact, pretty much any type of disrespectful behavior that degrades the quality of discussions and people`s experience, will not be tolerated.

BE OPEN MINDED AND NON-JUDGEMENTAL!
You are likely to see/read things in AdultsSA that offend you (it's part of what makes AdultsSA the wonderful place it is). Being judgemental or closed-minded is rarely helpful. Public debate and discussions are great and welcomed. Public displays of mental deficiencies are not welcome and will be harshly moderated.. Who knows, what offends you today may rock your world tomorrow...

UPLOADED CONTENT
Please only upload content that you have created yourself or have provable legal permission to use. Passing off other people`s work as you own, or posting pictures of people without their permission is not allowed.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
If you feel someone is not acting in the spirit of these guidelines, why not just drop them a (polite) line giving them a friendly prod? A lot of the time, these things are down to simple misunderstandings, and a quiet word is all that is needed to get things back on track. If that fails, then by all means contact the AdultsSA MODERATORS, and we will take it from there. Don't be tempted to publish blow-by-blow accounts of what is going on - it rarely helps and in fact often hinders a successful resolution.

In short, enjoy AdultsSA in a reasonable adult manner, apply common sense and a spot of good judgement and you won't go far wrong.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE BREAKS OUR GUIDELINES?
We like to keep things simple. So, if you break any of our rules, one of our Moderators will just remind you of our guidelines. You do it a second time, we will start getting annoyed and remind you one more time. A third time we will delete you from AdultsSA. Really serious cases will be dealt with on the spot. The SAPS will be notified if any criminal behaviour is observed. Nothing more complicated than that.
