The Intent of the Welcome Wagon, and Basic Rules for OH2 Forums!

[Fancyinheels]

Welcome to the wickedry!

Seems to be some confusion about the intent of our introductory forums, so let's clarify since staff spends an inordinate amount of time editing, removing, relocating, and/or closing threads in violation.

Welcome Wagon (WW) forums are NOT intended for advertising or seeking services, but are great for "kicking off" your new adventure in our community and letting everyone know you're here!

NEW-to-OH2 members may introduce themselves in their local/home-base WW forums ONCE only, not repeatedly and not in multiple cities, and within a reasonable time period after registering.

Incoming providers ARE allowed to include pics and initial info about their rates and services in their local WW posts. (Please be advised that H2 does not HOST explicit imagery, however, so do not upload graphic intimate activity pics to our database.) Agencies may also introduce NEW ladies joining their ranks ONCE.

Minimal thread "bumps" are allowed by original posters to add NEW data not previously shared, but again, be aware that WWs are not meant for continual advertising. Only Verified Companions may post ads in designated marketing forums. (The validation process is also posted in WWs throughout the site.)

Additionally, new members may introduce themselves in the national WW area ONCE.

After the one inaugural announcement thread and while awaiting verification, new companions may respond to requests/ISOs within rules and make general comments (not advertise/solicit) in discussion forums to draw attention their way, and they may utilize their profiles, avatars, and signature lines to share rates, menu, location, and other data. Once a lusty lady becomes a Verified Companion, she should take advantage of the many regular ad forums and STOP any further promotional posting in the WW.

New fellows should post threads looking for companionship and vouches subsequent BCD visits in the local ISO (In Search Of) forum, as visibility/responses will be much better there than in the WW. Please expect to be screened for ladies' safety.

Verified traveling/visiting companions, you ALSO should be using the regular ad sections to inform members of your tour stops/availability in various regions, NOT the WW forums.


H2 has plenty of appropriate promotional space set aside for daily and weekend marketing by companions following verification. Guidelines breaking down ad opportunities are stickied in many WWs of busy Hobby regions, and rules are usually posted in individual ad forums, so please check before submitting carnal commercials.

Lads and lassies, let me emphasize that WW forums aren't review, speculation, discussion, opinion, or specific request sections. Let's leave assessment reports/debates/personal viewpoints/queries for the appropriate areas, please. Okie dokie?

Be advised that repeat offenses in the WW are subject to removal/closure and will incur penalties, and may also result in restricted posting access for repetitive abuse.

Much appreciation for your cooperation. Now go have some FUN! -- FIH/staff

From the chief admin, codes of behavior applicable site-wide:

-- Briefly, "respect" is expected and demanded for and from all OH2 members and "getting along" is also a community requirement. Keep personal "stuff" off the board!

-- Alerts and Security: alert forums are for information vital to community security, not to be used for general member information. The disclosure of any personal data, including health data, is not allowed (with certain exceptions).

-- Welcoming new members is encouraged, and a new member's first Welcome Wagon thread may also include photos, rates, services.

-- Bumping older existing threads is allowed, but bumping a review thread that is dormant more than 30 days is usually not allowed.


NO! NO! NO! NO:
-- discussion of illegal substances or the illegal sale of legal substances (per Federal laws... No recreational drugs or euphemisms for them mentioned/referenced/speculated about, period, and no offers/solicitation of prescription meds.)
-- bestiality
-- underage anything
-- violence or physical threats
-- health data (except your own)
-- personal welfare data (except your own)
-- multiple handles (If any member has an access issue/needs a password reset, DO NOT create another account. Please contact support@ourhome2.net to correct the problem.)
-- operating someone else's account w/o admin permission
-- outing others' personal (or former) identity data (Some exceptions exist ...Discretion of staff.)
-- racial or gender slurs
-- shaming!
-- quacking! (calling out new reviews as falsified)
-- disrespecting staff
-- leaking information from secure forums
-- thread hijacking (meaning a significant change of topic from original subject)
-- exposure of others' PMs or EMs or texts (Again, some exceptions exist at the discretion of staff.)
-- stalking/doxing (And other harassment.)

-- Yes, sexual action photos/videos ARE allowed, but only via hotlinks, not hosted here. (Please don't upload graphic intimate imagery to our database!)

The above is more or less a summary of existing rules/expectations for OH2 members within the OH2 site and elsewhere. Yes, elsewhere is inclusive for members. Members' bad actions elsewhere will be considered actionable here.

Members are expected to know and follow the rules. (Which will be periodically updated as necessary.) Warnings are never mandatory and issued only at staff discretion. (In other words, staff can go straight to other actions, like infractions/suspensions if merited.) -- ck1942

As indicated, OH2 is built upon a foundation of mutual respect and shared interests. Let's keep the place politely pleasurable for all participants. Happy Hobbying! -- FIH/staff

(As stated above, site rules will be updated occasionally by the chief admin as decreed by necessity and our expanding membership, and not all standards may be contained in regional threads like this one. Highly recommended that members check the national FAQ/Ourhome2 Community Quick Rules Summary every so often for the full rundown. Thanks!)
