📜 SON Community Policy
Creating a safe, respectful, and authentic space for alternative lifestyles
Welcome to the SON Community Policy. These guidelines define how we expect members to behave and interact on SubmitOrNot. They ensure our space remains safe, consensual, and welcoming for kink, BDSM, polyamory, vanilla, and other alternative lifestyles. By joining SON, you agree to follow these standards in addition to our Terms of Service.
1. Core Principles
-
Consent first: All interactions must be rooted in clear, informed consent.
-
Respect diversity: SON welcomes people of all genders, orientations, identities, and relationship styles.
-
No harassment or abuse: Insults, threats, stalking, or intimidation are never tolerated.
-
Privacy matters: Never share someone else’s private details or off-platform content without permission.
-
Authenticity: Profiles, reviews, and communications should reflect genuine intentions.
2. Prohibited Conduct
The following behaviors are not allowed on SON. Because SON is an adult-only platform (21+), these rules are strictly enforced to protect our community:
-
Harassment, bullying, hate speech, or targeted attacks.
-
Sharing non-consensual sexual content, explicit imagery, or recordings.
-
Doxxing (posting private addresses, names, or personal details).
-
Using SON for scams, spam, or fraudulent activity.
-
Retaliatory reviews or defamatory content.
-
Impersonation of other users or staff.
-
No photos of children: SubmitOrNot is strictly for adults 21+. Photos including or depicting children in any way are not allowed. This includes family pictures, baby/childhood images, or any content where a minor is visible.
-
Adult-only imagery: Photos of adults in fetish, kink, or lifestyle gear are permitted, provided they comply with other SON policies and are consensual.
-
Age verification: SON is for adults 21+ only. Accounts suspected to be underage will be suspended and may be removed.
-
Non-consensual AI/Deepfake content: AI-generated or manipulated content that depicts someone without their explicit consent is strictly prohibited.
-
Illegal content: Any material that is illegal under applicable laws—including but not limited to bestiality, trafficking, child exploitation, or non-consensual acts—is banned and will be reported to authorities.
-
Commercial exploitation: While networking and connections are welcome, using SON primarily to promote sex work, escort services, or unrelated commercial advertising is not permitted.
3. Profile Reviews & Content
-
Reviews must follow the SON Review Policy.
-
Content should be honest, unbiased, and non-retaliatory.
-
Explicit sexual details in reviews or profile descriptions should be avoided.
4. Reporting & Moderation
-
Use the in-app Report option to flag behavior or content that violates policy.
-
Reports are reviewed by moderators who apply this policy fairly and consistently.
-
Serious violations may result in warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent removal.
5. Appeals
If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, you may file an appeal. Appeals are reviewed by a different moderator or admin for fairness and neutrality.
6. Enforcement Actions
-
Warnings: For first-time or minor infractions.
-
Content removal: Posts, reviews, or media may be removed if they violate policy.
-
Suspension: Temporary removal from the platform for repeated or serious violations.
-
Account termination: Permanent ban for severe breaches, including harassment, doxxing, or illegal content.
7. Community Etiquette
-
Respect boundaries in all interactions.
-
Use inclusive language across communities (kink, poly, vanilla).
-
Listen actively, respond thoughtfully, and remember: consent and respect are at the center of everything.
