Breeding Zone Warnings

[Christopher]

No matter what I post on this site, I receive warnings and penalties. That last 6 months!!! It is ridicuous !!! We can fetishize being hiv positive but only that and absolutely nothing else !!!!        I will never post another thing on this website ever again.

I have wondered what the distinction is.

My "introduction" had been a 13 days long ban, but I understood why: one was a misunderstood message (I wrote it badly and could be read as an encouragement to self-harm when it wasn't) and the other was a story written with "fan fiction" model, assuming it was correct. But I didn't ask the first author for a possible story sequel so they were right, to kick me temporarily out.

But then it's 2 years I post and never got infractions any longer. 

I have publicly dirty-talked with someone as well. Maybe it's something rude on politics or other stuff?

I am fairly new to this forum but have never had a problem. The only post I made that seemed to raise a few hackles concerned politics. A few downvotes sure as hell aren't going to persuade me to change my mind just as I can rant about my beliefs and not change anyone's mind, so that is basically a waste of time. I prefer to talk about sex, a much more interesting topic than politics.

Just follow the rules and use common sense and there shouldn't be a problem.

I have too be honest I do not understand the system have had 2 warnings which were about posting things in the wrong place they are gone now but he meant am more cautious about putting up new threads/ conversations

I got penalized for talking about the so called vaccine. Turns out you're not supposed to tell the truth.

Looking at what you post, I'm not sure you actually do - unless you're using two profiles, and have posted under the wrong one.

[Christopher]

I only have one profile

Since this seems to be a perennial source of distress, I will explain again for those who are new (or hard of hearing):

Yes, there are rules on BZ. You can find them here https://breeding.zone/topic/12285-read-this-before-you-post/ and in other more specific topics linked from that one.

The Moderators do not make the rules. All we do is apply them, as even-handedly as possible (but hey, we are human). @rawTOP, the site owner, makes the rules, and spends considerable effort to make them carefully and for good reasons, which he also makes an effort to explain.

Very few of the rules have substantial penalties attached. Usually, you will get a warning and a few points (which expire over time), and maybe a suspension of posting privileges for a few days. It's not a big deal.

For those few cases that are a big deal, you could get dozens of points or have your login privileges suspended for weeks or months. Repeated offenses push up the penalties. The offenses in this category are things like bullying other members, suggesting harm to real people, posting child porn, and spamming the site.

Complaining about a penalty is actually an infraction of its own (because the moderators are volunteers). However, if you truly don't understand - after reading the rules - why your post was an infraction, it is OK to contact the moderator and ask. We didn't give it to you because we hate you, we gave it to you because it's our job to enforce the rules. It is quite possible that we made a mistake, in which case we'll try to do our part and apologize nicely.

If you realize - after posting something - that you made a mistake and it's an infraction (perhaps because you posted it in the wrong place, which is the easiest infraction to make without noticing), report your own post (use the "Report" option in the "..." menu at the upper right corner of the post) and let a moderator know that you goofed and what you'd like done to fix it (if it's not obvious). The penalties for self-reported posts are generally waived.

I think that rules, for all they are worth, put structure into what is allowed and what isn’t. Already, there are those who would like nothing better than to see us go away. That’s the issue. We can understand why discussions about underage sex are worth banning, but why talk about chasing other stds aren’t. I think it’s because, the moderators here have to impose some modicum of rules. 

[drscorpio]

Moderator's Note: The correct procedure if you feel action take against you is out of line is to address it with the moderator who gave the infraction privately. If that does not satisfy you, you take it up with the admin, rawTOP. In any case, making posts protesting your treatment is explicitly against the rules. 

For the record, the original poster who cannot post anything without getting penalties had received exactly 2 infractions which were for breaking the same exact rule. The fact that he made more than a dozen other posts without penalty was somehow lost on him. 

[drscorpio]

We do our best to keep all the rules in one place (see below). Amazingly, many people have posted here for years without a single problem. I do not mean this in an unkind way, but if you cannot abide by the rules listed in this thread, you probably should find another place to post.

Rules are there for harmony. Not to say we are into everything, nor agree with everything posted. 
This is despite many languages, cultures, ranges of interest and levels of experience from guys here.
There is little personal argument and I think we all learn something at visit.
The site had been running so much longer than some of those with anarchy.
The owner and moderators deserve thanks for their volunteer time.

I appreciate this space. While I have been hit with the ‘harm to the community’ penalty a couple times, I respect the decision. It’s complicated walking the line between a space to explore fetishes and making the space accessible. I also commend rawtop for navigating all the legal complexities of operating a site accessible to so many countries. While I do not support censorship in any form, I would favor a degree of censorship to keep the lights on over the site going dark. 

Also a thank you to the moderators for your support ❤️.
