#Welcome to r/BDSM

Welcome to r/BDSM, a hub for media and discussion. Read below for this community's guidelines.

Anyone found to be under 18 will have their content removed and permanently banned from our subreddit family.
Content of underage people are not allowed in ANY context. (pictures, videos, drawings, stories, etc.)

Generic porn or suggestive images without a clear BDSM theme will be removed.
A title is not enough: generic "sexy" images with kinky keywords in the title will be removed
Low effort content, memes, survey-results will be removed.
Low effort content includes but is not limited to:
generic "look at my body/body part" content
generic "look at me in my underwear/outfit" content
generic "look at me holding/wearing a sex toy" content
generic "this is me looking at myself in a mirror" content
generic "this is me making a funny face at the camera" content
images that are too dark, too light, too blurry/out of focus, with too many effects filters, with too many distracting emojis
No artwork or drawings

No name calling or personal attacks
No homophobia, sexism, racism, bigotry of any kind.
No explicit or implied threats.
No doxxing/outing/name-dropping.
No shaming people for their kinks (or lack thereof).
No callout posts, naming and shaming people (Reddit users or otherwise).
We welcome people from all walks of life, all genders, and identities here as long as you can conduct yourself with civility. Kinky roleplay is not the same as real life, respect each other.

No MGTOW, TRP, incel, etc. type of content.
No malicious baiting/trolling or purposefully inciting arguments.
No purposefully inflammatory posts.
No linking to posts or bringing up incidents from subreddits outside our subreddit family to complain about or brigade.

No spam/self promotion, repeat offenders will be banned.
No linking to personal blogs, paid content, subscription sites, or other self-promotion
No direct URL or QR code watermarks
No advertising outside chat groups (kik, skype, discord, etc)
No personal contact information (kik, skype, email, etc), no requesting/offering DM's
Guidelines for self-promotion on reddit
Personal ads belong in r/BDSMpersonals
Do not redirect users posting personal ads to r/BDSMpersonals. Here is our explanation why

Please include a question or discussion prompt in all text posts.
Erotic stories (real or fictional) & creative writings belong in r/BDSMerotica
PSA's (public service announcements) are not allowed - Here is our explanation why
Rants, vents, love letters, goodbye letters, shower thoughts are not allowed.

The r/BDSM subreddit family mods will take things on a case by case basis and remove posts/comments and ban users at their discretion. We reserve the right to use our own judgment and ban anyone from the subreddit or entire subreddit family if we view you as being detrimental to the community, regardless of if you break any specifically stated rule.
When the mods say to do something, stop something, or let something go, do it. If you have a concern you are free to send us a politely worded modmail, but arguing or being rude to the mods is a one way ticket to a permaban.
