Guidelines for Moderators & Site Room Staff
Site Rules per the Soteria homepage:
- You must be 21+ to chat here
- Soteria is an English-only site. English must be spoken and written site-wide; this applies to videos, music & voice recordings.
- No spam, posting links to other sites or coercing to use other sites.
- No soliciting of any kind including offering gift cards, money, sexual favors, etc.
- No racism, slurs, hate speech, bullying or harassment of any kind.
- Do not attempt to impersonate a user or staff member, or create an account with intent to harass another member.
- Respect room staff, moderators, admins and owners. Arguing with any of the above in the main chat is an auto mute and possible kick or ban.
- Play/discussion of incest, bestiality, underage play, rape/forced sex, or anything else illegal is not allowed here. Absolutely NO gifs of children under any circumstances, regardless of content. Do not use the words teen(s), girl(s), boy(s), and/or younger without the clarification of 18+. This rule applies to text, pictures, and gifs (including the text on those), profiles (text, images, and sounds).
- Any and all posts relating to anything underage including soliciting underage play, images, advertising their age as under 18, etc. is a ZERO tolerance offense: DO NOT TRY TO TALK TO THE USER. Protocol for these offenses is MUTE > SCREENSHOT (text not images) >DELETE (text and images) > REPORT IMMEDIATELY.
- Keep an eye on profile pictures, background images and read bios of users in the rooms you visit. If a pfp appears underage or is questionable, please report it to an admin or owner. Watch for terms relating to underage play (i.e. references to being a little or a middle), solicitation, or any of the topics covered here in bio text and report. If you aren’t sure, ask one of us for clarification.
- In addition to this, Please be aware of images or text involving hardcore BDSM practices degradation and humiliation, knife or weapon play, blood, scat, gore or CNC–which is consent nonconsent; a term also known as rapeplay to some.
Important Things to Remember:
- There are other behaviors not listed here that are just morally not ok. Things like being mean, making fun of people, disabilities, kinks, sexual orientations, etc, If it feels wrong, it probably is. Use your best judgment when taking action. If you are not sure, mute and consult an admin or owner.
- All of the above includes voice recordings, and MP4’s posted so it is important we listen to those as well.
- Discussion of site issues, such as actions taken against a user by a staff member, should not be allowed in the main chat. If you see this, issue a warning. If it persists, mute and inform an admin or owner.
