        <p>
            Since the TOS was originally written, the following are updates and amendments:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>
                <strong>Mar 8 '23:</strong> added clarification on whether
                <a href="#policy-on-other-people-appearing-in-your-photos">other people may appear in your photos</a>.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>July 27 '23:</strong> highlighted the rule on hate speech in the Summary and added clarification
                that you should conduct yourself honorably in <a href="#direct-messages">Direct Message</a> conversations as well.
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>Nov 24 '23:</strong> spelled out that it is not ethical to download and repost other members' photos
                onto other sites online without their express knowledge and consent.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <h1 id="general">General Code of Conduct <a href="#general" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h1>

        <p>
            This section applies generally across every corner of this website, including but
            not limited to: the text you write on your profile page, the messages you send to
            other members, the comments you leave on their photos, and the messages you post
            in the forums.
        </p>

        <h3 id="real-people-only">Real People Only! <a href="#real-people-only" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            This website is for <strong>real</strong> nudists and exhibitionists who are not
            afraid to show their face and verify themselves as being a real person.
        </p>

        <p>
            You do NOT need to include your face and nude body in a picture together; but a
            picture of your face must be somewhere on your profile page, including as your
            default profile picture.
        </p>

        <p>
            The following are the <strong>bare minimum requirements</strong> for members of
            this website:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>You must <strong>have a face picture</strong> as your default profile photo.</li>
            <li>
                You must <strong>upload a "verification selfie"</strong> which includes your
                face and depicts you holding a hand-written note on paper to verify that
                you're a real person.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <p>
            Your verification photo will only be seen by site administrators and will not
            appear on your profile page.
        </p>

        <p>
            Having a nude pic on your profile is optional, but encouraged. You are on a nudist
            website after all, and other members will feel more comfortable if you join in!
        </p>

        <h3 id="hateful-content">Hateful Content &amp; Bullying <a href="#hateful-content" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            This website will NOT tolerate hateful content against any minority group, including
            but not limited to: racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, xenophobia, antisemitism,
            body shaming, sex shaming, or generally being mean to people (or writing mean things
            about people) on matters of their age, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation,
            religion, color of their skin, racial or ethnic background, shape of their body, or
            other such characteristics.
        </p>

        <p>
            Members caught engaging in such behaviors will be removed from the community.
        </p>

        <h3 id="direct-messages">Direct Messages <a href="#direct-messages" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            The global website rules also apply to the contents of your Direct Messages. See also the
            <a href="/privacy#direct-messages">Privacy Policy on DMs</a>. We respect your privacy and

        <p>
            Some specific reminders about the Terms of Service as it pertains to the contents of your
            Direct Messages, whether on the main website or the chat room:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>
                <a href="#hateful-content">Hate speech</a> and bullying is NOT tolerated anywhere on the
                website, including in Direct Messages.
            </li>
            <li>
                Do not share hyperlink URLs to websites that facilitate or contain content or activities
                considered to be illegal in the United States or California where this web server resides.
            </li>
            <li>
                Do not share images on the chat room DMs that would otherwise get you banned from the
                site if you posted it there.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <p>
            Do not fall under the illusion that your Direct Messages (whether on the website or chat room)
            are secure and encrypted. See the <a href="/privacy#direct-messages">Privacy Policy on DMs</a>
            for more information.

        <h3 id="child-exploitation">Child Exploitation <a href="#child-exploitation" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            Under our <a href="#acceptable-photo-policy">Acceptable Photo Policy</a> we state that there are to
            be <a href="#no-pictures-of-children">NO pictures of children</a> (even clothed) allowed on this
            website AT ALL. This section additionally covers non-photo content on the website, including
            conversations taking place in Direct Messages (whether on the main website or chat room), Forum
            posts or anywhere else that messages can be written.
        </p>

        <p>
            It is <strong>prohibited</strong> to use {{PrettyTitle}}'s website to facilitate or have conversations
            about illegal activity (as known to the United States) regarding child sexual abuse (defined in the US
            as <em>ANY</em> sexual contact between a child under the age of consent, usually 18 years old, with an
            adult older than 18 years old). Do NOT discuss
            past or future crimes in violation of the law in this regard. If you have received a DM from a member
            which ventures into this topic, please <a href="/contact?intent=report">report them</a> to the admins
            or directly contact the <a href="https://www.missingkids.org">National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children</a>.
        </p>

        <p>
            The following are a non-exhaustive list of prohibited activities that may result in your {{PrettyTitle}}
            account being banned and/or reported to the relevant law enforcement agency:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>
                Dropping "hints" on your profile page about pedophilia. We don't want to see any 'dog whistle' hints
                on your profile page advertising your children or your interest in children. Note: a listing of known
                dog whistles is intentionally withheld here. Trust that we have a long list of known dog whistles.
            </li>
            <li>
                Talking about "nudist families" or "raising your nudist family" or similar: this is a <strong>red flag</strong> as
                these conversations all too often are code words for bad news.
            </li>
            <li>
                Having conversations over Direct Message (whether on the main website or the chat room) of a criminal
                nature in regards to the law in the United States.
            </li>
            <li>
                Advertising to people that they can come over and 'hang out naked' with your nudist family including
                your children.
            </li>
            <li>
                Attempting to bend or circumvent detection or press on the rules of this website in this regard.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <p>
            As a good general rule of thumb: <strong>if you have children, don't talk about them</strong> here.
        </p>

        <h3 id="automated-filters">Automated Direct Message Filters <a href="#automated-filters" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            To help enforce community guidelines, {{PrettyTitle}} utilizes automated message filters that run on the chat
            room and main website which will monitor for keywords and automatically flag conversations for admin review.
            The primary keywords we monitor for are those relating to <a href="#child-exploitation">child exploitation</a>
            or hate speech (racial slurs and dog whistles known to be associated with hate groups).
        </p>

        <h3 id="downloading">Reposting Members' Photos Elsewhere <a href="#downloading" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            <span class="tag is-success">NEW: November 24 2023</span>
        </p>

        <p>
            It is NOT acceptable to download photos of other {{PrettyTitle}} members and repost them onto other websites
            or apps elsewhere on the Internet (without the express knowledge and consent of the individual pictured). We know
            there are <a href="/faq#downloading">risks inherent with sharing a picture online</a> but it is a violation of
            personal autonomy and consent when you learn that your photos were stolen and distributed on social media somewhere
            without your prior knowledge.
        </p>

        <p>
            This should have been an obvious rule, but any confirmed violations of this after 2023/11/24 will result in a
            permanent ban from the {{PrettyTitle}} website for any member caught redistributing other members' photos without
            their permission.
        </p>

        <p>
            Along similar lines, <strong>DO NOT screenshot, take a photograph of, or record webcam feeds in the chat room.</strong>
            People can feel extra vulnerable when they are showing themselves on live webcam in the chat room, and it feels very
            violating to be recorded without your knowledge.
        </p>

        <h1 id="acceptable-photo-policy">Acceptable Photo Policy <a href="#acceptable-photo-policy" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h1>

        <h3 id="self-photos-only">All photos uploaded to your profile page must contain YOU in them <a href="#self-photos-only" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            Your profile page is about <em>you</em> and all photos you upload to it must be
            pictures of <em>you</em>.
        </p>

        <p>
            If your pictures also include other people, please be sure that you have the
            consent of all pictured individuals to upload it to your profile page.
        </p>

        <p>
            You do not have to include your face in all your pictures! Many nudists are not
            comfortable showing their face in their nudes and will post "torso shots" or
            censor their face -- that's OK! You only need one face picture to use as your
            default profile pic - it can be a clothed, G-rated selfie!
        </p>

        <h4 id="policy-on-other-people-appearing-in-your-photos">Policy on other people appearing in your photos <a href="#policy-on-other-people-appearing-in-your-photos" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h4>

        <p>
            It can be acceptable to post a photo that includes yourself <em>and</em> another
            person, but please see the following rules:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>Be sure you have the permission of all people in your photo before you upload it.</li>
            <li>
                You and the other people must be in <strong>the same</strong> photo together:
                "split frame" photos where you just combine two wholly separate pictures together
                into one are not allowed! This is because it's not clear whether you even <em>know</em>
                the other person pictured or if you had their permission to post it; and to keep on top
                of avoiding any "exposure blogs" where someone might post pictures of randoms so long as
                they also composite their own pic next to it.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <h3 id="normal-nudes">Normal Nudes &amp; Non-Explicit Content <a href="#normal-nudes" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            This is a website for nudists and so "normal nudes" are expected and are the default.
            Not all nudists want to see sexually explicit material. You MAY upload sexually
            explicit content but you are expected to mark such photos as "Explicit" so that
            nudists who don't want to see them can filter them out (which is the default setting).
        </p>

        <p>
            You do not need to tag your photo as "Explicit" for simply containing non-sexual nudity.
            Examples of "normal nudes" and non-sexual nudity include, but are not limited to:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>Full body nude photos where the focus of the picture is NOT on the genitalia.</li>
            <li>A flaccid (non-erect) penis, provided it is NOT the focus of the picture.</li>
            <li>
                Photos taken at nude beaches, nude campgrounds, or other nudist events in
                a non-sexual context.
            </li>
            <li>
                Photos of nude gardening or other activities done in the buff.
            </li>
            <li>
                Butt pics are OK: full body nudes taken from behind that show your butt are
                considered "normal nudes" unless your butt is the sole focus of the picture.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <p>
            Basically, as long as the photo doesn't fall under the "Explicit Photos &amp; Sexual Content"
            examples listed below, you do not need to tag your picture as "Explicit."
        </p>

        <h3 id="explicit-photos">Explicit Photos &amp; Sexual Content <a href="#explicit-photos" class="fa fa-paragraph is-size-6"></a></h3>

        <p>
            Explicit photos and sexual content ("exhibitionist photos") are permitted on this website
            <em>but</em> you agree to <strong>tag such photos as "Explicit"</strong> in their settings
            when you upload them.
        </p>

        <p>
            A photo is considered "explicit" if it depicts <em>any</em> of the following features:
        </p>

        <ul>
            <li>
                A close-up view of genitalia or where the genitals are the central focus of the picture.
            </li>
            <li>An erect penis if the subject has one, especially if they are grabbing it.</li>
            <li>
                "Spread eagle" pictures that clearly and especially show intimate body parts such
                as butt holes or vulvae.
            </li>
            <li>
                A depiction of a sexual act, including but not limited to: masturbation, oral sex,
                anal or vaginal penetration, humping, or any content intended to sexually arouse the
