Community Guidelines

We strive to maintain a safe space for those suffering from Avoidant Personality Disorder. That means setting a few rules in order to maintain the peace. We don't want to set too many for the sake of keeping this an open space for people to express themselves, so the rules we do have, we expect to be followed! Thank you.

These rules may be updated as the forum grows.

• This is an anti-discrimination space. Discrimination against someone's race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, social status, weight, employment, physical or mental ability, religion etc will not be tolerated.

• Do not spam or post NSFW content.

• Personal attacks will not be tolerated. We understand that views will differ from time to time, but it's important to remain respectful. We all come from different backgrounds and have different experiences; If there is a serious issue, please contact an Admin.

• Place trigger warnings on any triggering content. Write "[TW]" at the beginning of the thread title and/or put trigger warnings at the beginning of the thread's content- Which ever is applicable, as long as it's there.

• Remember to format accessibly. We would prefer that users refrain from using extremely large text, typing in all caps, using bright text colours, etc.

• Respect the Admins. We maintain the right to enforce the rules for the safety of everyone on the forum. You are allowed to question us and we encourage open communication, but please allow us to do our jobs.

• Advertising must be cleared with Admins prior to posting.* Any person wishing to advertise an off-site link must first message an Admin with the link they wish to share and have their request approved before creating a thread. This may include, but is not limited to, a survey for educational purposes or a fundraising or donation fund.
    *Current exceptions include posting your Tumblr URL on the "What's Your Tumblr URL?" thread. 


In practice as of: 5th August, 2016.
