Intent of the Welcome Wagon, Basic Rules for OH2 Forums, & Verification!

[Fancyinheels]

Welcome to the wickedry!

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

Welcome Wagon forums are not intended for advertising, but are great for "kicking off" your new adventure in our carnal 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.

Incoming providers ARE allowed to include pics and info about their rates and services in their initial city WW posts. (Please be advised that H2 does not HOST explicit imagery, however, so do not upload graphic intimate activity pics to our database.)

After the ONE inaugural local announcement thread and while awaiting verification, new companions may respond to requests/ISOs 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 promotional posting in the WW.

Verified traveling 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.

Additionally, new members may introduce themselves in a national WW ONCE. However, those should be general announcements. Specifics are best saved for local city WW introductions.

H2 has plenty of appropriate space set aside for marketing once companions are verified, and ONLY validated ladies may post in our designated ad forums.

Also, lads and lassies, please note that WW forums aren't review, speculation, discussion, opinion, or request/ISO sections. Let's leave such reports/debates/queries for more appropriate areas. Established participants should please let new members introduce themselves as THEY deem fitting and without critique. Remember that this is the first place most will post, so let's make newbies feel like H2 is a comfortable, fun, and inviting place to play! Okie dokie?

Be advised that repeat offenses in the WW will incur penalties, and may result in restricted posting access.

Much appreciation for your cooperation! -- FIH/staff

From the chief admin, codes of behavior (in no particular order of importance) applicable site-wide:

NO:

-- discussion of illegal substances or the illegal sale of legal substances (per Federal laws)
-- bestiality
-- underage anything
-- violence or physical threats
-- health data (except your own)
-- multiple handles
-- operating someone else's account w/o admin permission
-- outing others' personal (and former) identity data (Some exceptions exist ...Discretion of staff.)
-- racial or gender slurs
-- leaking information from secure forums
-- thread hijacking
-- 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 hot links, 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. -- ck1942

OH2 is built upon a foundation of mutual respect and shared interests. Let's keep the place politely pleasurable for all members. Thanks. -- FIH/staff

The H2 verification system is based on vouches by other validated Hobby participants met BCD and sent into admin, and full access (private forums, etc.) is a privilege of that status.

Please read the following from our happy host admin, ck1942:

WHERE TO START! Hobbyist Candidates: https://home.ourhome2.net/vb/showthread.php?48371-WHERE-TO-START!-Hobbyist-Candidate

WHERE TO START! Companion Candidates: https://home.ourhome2.net/vb/showthread.php?48370-WHERE-TO-START!-Companion-Candidates

All any member has to say when vouching is, "I have seen _____ recently and am happy to confirm that a session took place."

The Member List in the drop-down under the Community tab beneath the ourhome2.net masthead to the above left can be used to seek screen names of familiar guys and gals.

H2 members MUST be verified themselves before their vouches are acceptable for other registered members. In some cases and at management discretion, vouches from well-established Hobby participants elsewhere may be considered. PM admin for more info.

Only Verified Companions may advertise in promotional forums outside initial Welcome Wagon introductions. Only Verified Hobbyists have access to the hidden ROS of reviews.

Gentlemen, please understand that even if verified, you will STILL have to offer references and/or be screened for play dates by individual Companions, as H2 verification is for site purposes only and is NOT a substitute for the individual comfort and safety requirements of providers, nor was it ever intended to be.

Also, to STAY verified, all members have to log in regularly and contribute to the community by posting, and re-vouching may be required as time passes.

Happy Hobbying! -- FIH/staff

Regarding the NO multiple handles prohibition, 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. Thanks. -- FIH/staff
