These can be found at the "Forum Guidelines" link at the bottom of every page on the forum, but I thought I'd post them here as well. We don't have many rules, but the ones we do have we would appreciate your cooperation with. If you see threads or posts which break the rules, use the REPORT THIS POST link to bring it to our attention.
I'm not trying to be an ass - I'm trying to make sure the site is here & fun for years to come.
For clarification purposes, if you did not take the photo, you do not own the copyright - someone else does. Legally, we can get in trouble for you uploading photos you did not take to our servers. We have received cease & desist letters for users doing so before. Please, please, please do not post photos here that you did not take.

Forum Guidelines
1. You must be 18 years or older to read or participate at Literotica.
2. You may not post sexually explicit pictures or stories featuring anyone under 18 years old. Literotica does not allow the posting of underage or animal sex pictures on the forum.
3. Do not post copyrighted images or articles in their entirety. Fair use laws allow some posting of copyrighted material, such as excerpts from articles and screen captures from movies, under certain circumstances. Please do a Google search under "Fair Use" if you want to understand this issue better.
4. You may not post personal information of other members or, for that matter, anyone else. We do not allow phone numbers, email addresses, private messages or quotes from private emails to be posted on the forum. This rule also covers real names, employment info, and any other personal information that we deem inappropriate.
5. Do not threaten other users.
6. Any posts made with the intent of promoting another site or a product will be removed. You may not send unsolicited PM's or emails to other users trying to promote other websites or products. Literotica is not a place to promote other websites, and we are very strict on this issue. If you abuse this policy, you will be banned.
7. Please do not blatantly "advertise" for other websites in your signature. We allow non-commercial links to other people's personal websites in sigs, but please do not beg people to click on your link, make it huge and/or flashing, or otherwise be obnoxious. If you turn your signature into an advertisement, we will ask you to change it. Do not start threads with the URL in the header.
8. Please post content in the appropriate forum. We do not believe in censorship, but your posts will be moved or removed if you do not read the forum title before hitting "SUBMIT". Personal ads should be posted in the "Personals" forum, story ideas in the "Story Ideas" forum, BDSM issues in the BDSM forum, random nonsense on the General Board, and so on.

If you believe that someone is violating these rules in a specific post, please click on the "REPORT THIS POST" link in that post and submit a report to the Moderators.
Anything else goes. You may post whatever you like. Consequently, so can everyone else. The administrators here don't believe they are anyone's parents nor are they anyone's Jiminy Cricket. It's not their responsibility to make sure that everyone on the site uses free speech responsibly. It's up to individual users to be responsible for themselves. For those who are not, the programmers at Jelsoft have added an ignore function for your convenience. Just go here and add the user you don't want to deal with anymore.
In short, we believe in the First Amendment, and offensive content will not be removed unless it breaks one of the rules.
