       Safe Systems' Forum Rules

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Please do not encourage self-harm in any way or express anything
       that could be taken as glamorising any form of self-harm,
       including excess alcohol consumption and drug usage.
       Please do not share any information on methods to self-harm or
       any tips, including the best ways/places to self-harm.
       Discussion of techniques that people have not yet heard of
       encourages them to then go and try them and must be avoided at
       all times. Information on scar reduction and preventing /
       reducing the risk of infection is allowed.
       Please do not make suicide threats or 'goodbye notes'. While
       this might seem harsh, suicide threats are extremely unfair on a
       website full of caring people who have no way of helping you, no
       way of knowing you're safe and no way of letting anyone know. Of
       course, people will express their doubts about life and living,
       but goodbye threats cannot be permitted; it is much more
       beneficial to ask for support before you get to that stage,
       since a true 'goodbye note' wouldn't be looking for response
       anyway. This also applies to any threats made regarding any way
       to harm oneself.
       Please do not make any comments that involve any level of
       discrimination, racism or sexism; including personal views,
       jokes, stereotyping of any specific group, derogatory slang
       language & terminology, and comments about race, gender, social
       class or sexual orientation that may be offensive.
       Please do not make any comments that are sexually graphic or
       that could make others uncomfortable. This includes member's
       'cybering', sharing information or discussion that is,
       essentially, pornographic or offensive. Also, you will not make
       sexually graphic comments that could make other members
       uncomfortable or that would be unsuitable for a minor to see.
       Images and links containing such material are also not allowed.
       However, some level of slack will be given to those members
       seeking support for sexual assaults or advice for sexually
       related problems, but please choose your words carefully and,
       when using the forum, use the correct labelling.
       Please do not 'flame' any other member publicly, and keep all
       arguments and criticism to private messaging (PM), if at all.
       Abusive comments, threats, bullying and stalking are prohibited,
       both publicly (on the forums / in chat) AND privately (via PMs).
       This includes making mean and/or sarcastic comments that are
       obviously offensive or insulting in their intent (judged at the
       discretion of the Moderation Team).
       Please do not make comments or post images that overly push any
       religious belief (or lack thereof) onto any other members, or
       make any religious comments that could be offensive to others.
       It is not fair to judge and discredit others' beliefs - whatever
       they may be. If you see a religious comment and disagree, please
       just turn away and refrain from responding.
       Please refrain from all forms of emotional blackmail at all
       times. Members at Safe Systems are willing to help and offer all
       of the support and advice that they possibly can at all times,
       and so resorting to emotionally blackmailing them, either
       through making threats to hurt yourself or suggesting in any way
       that they are the reason you intend to / have hurt yourself,
       cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. It is always much
       better to be frank and honest about the support you need and,
       not only am I sure you will find it much more productive, it is
       likely to go down much better with the community.
       Please refrain from deliberately disrupting / 'hijacking' other
       peoples' posts. This includes deliberately, maliciously or
       insistently going out of your way to detract attention from the
       main topic of a post that has been made; this may seem
       over-zealous, but 'hijacking' a thread can be very upsetting to
       members, especially when the thread took courage to post, or
       took a long time to write.
       Finally - you must not be generally offensive, unpleasant,
       argumentative, rude, abusive or bullying. Ganging up on members,
       driving them off threads, or just being angry and mean to anyone
       on Safe Systems without good reason, is very damaging to the
       stability of support and recovery within the community and must
       be avoided at all times. If there is a member that you find
       difficult to tolerate for whatever reason, it is your
       responsibility to keep yourself safe and take measures to avoid
       losing your temper.
