</p>
<p>
Please behave honorably in your use of Direct Messages, whether on the main website or inside
the chat room. The global <a href="/tos">website rules</a> apply. {{PrettyTitle}} admins do NOT
regularly review the contents of your Direct Messages (your right to privacy is respected), however
if your conversation partner reports your message to the moderators we MAY look
at your message history to verify the report and take action if needed.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Especially important:</strong> do not break the law as it pertains to the United States
or California, where the web server resides, with your conduct in direct messages. Please do not
put the entire website at risk. Your photo WILL be included in the report to law enforcement if
it comes down to that.
</p>
<p>
We do not at this time, but reserve the right to implement in the future, software algorithms which MAY
automatically scan the contents of Direct Messages and collect URL links to websites shared or
flag messages based on keywords to detect egregious violations of the website's <a href="/tos">Terms of Service</a>.
For a good rule of thumb, behave as though this is already the case.
</p>
<h3>DMs on the Website</h3>
<p>
Direct Messages on the main website are stored, <strong>not encrypted</strong>, in the database and
it is within the technical capabilities of site admins to review them if needed. We have safeguards
in place to deter admins from snooping without being detected: it triggers an e-mail alert to other
admins and the access is logged. Do NOT expect any guarantee of security or privacy in your Direct Message
conversations.
</p>
<p>
Website DMs allow plain text messages only. Picture sharing is NOT supported in DMs for (what should be) very obvious
reasons. We do not want users to store images on our web server that would be out of view of site
admins' ability to moderate the website. See <a href="#moderators">Moderators</a> for a description of
what website admins can access in the aim of ensuring the integrity of the platform and help protect
the site from legal risks created by our members.
</p>
<p>
Do NOT share URL links to websites which harbor or facilitate illegal content or activity.
</p>
<h3>DMs on the Chat Room</h3>
<p>
Direct Messages on the chat room are NOT stored persistently on the server. They are sent directly
back out to the recipient(s) as they come in.
</p>
<p>
DMs are NOT monitored by admins on the chat room: the software is not programmed to reveal them on
the front-end web page to moderators. However, they MAY be logged as part of the chat server's operation,
especially if the server is running in debug mode which may sometimes happen while a new feature is being
developed or a bug is being researched and fixed. The log file is NOT regularly monitored except when
debugging an issue.
</p>
<p>
Messages in general on the chat server are NOT end-to-end encrypted -- they are protected only by
standard website (https) encryption but the chat server sees them, momentarily as it may be, in plain
text.
</p>
<p>
Photo attachments MAY be shared in Direct Messages on chat, and at this time are NOT stored persistently
on disk. However, we reserve the right in the future to HOLD images temporarily and scan their contents.
Behave as though this is already the case.
Do <strong>NOT</strong> share a photo on chat that would get you banned for sharing it on the main website!
</p>
<p>
Messages sent to your chat partner may be cached on their web browser page until they close the window
or refresh the chat. You may "take back" individual messages by clicking on the red
<i class="fa fa-rotate-left has-text-danger"></i> icon which will remove it from everyone else's screen
who saw that message. Deleting your DM thread only removes the thread from your view, but does not remove
the thread from your partner's view. This is communicated in a pop-up before you delete the DM thread.

</p>
<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
don't snoop on your DMs without just cause, but we retain the ability to do so in case of
a report about your account or the conversations you have been having.
</p>
<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>Child Exploitation</h3>
<p>
<span class="tag is-success">NEW: July 27 2023</span>
</p>
<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>
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.
