Howdy, folks. Just a quick reminder, we've got two rules on the sidebar which deal with self-promotion and porn:
No soliciting/fundraising/advertising: We want you to enjoy the community and be part of all the warmth there is to offer. We don't, however, want you to exploit the community in an effort gain followers or subscribers. Any form of the above is prohibited and posts subject to removal (including instagram promotion, surveys, gofundme links, etc)
No chasers/fetishists/porn accounts: To keep this community clean and a safe space, all users who make creepy or lewd comments, who fetishize trans people, or who are generally only on Reddit for porn will be banned without notice. Unfortunately, we cannot stop creeps sending you chats/PMs even when they're banned from here; you will need to block them directly.
We have a big problem with people who want to post porn on reddit and then go to our trans community subreddits and also want to share photos and casually direct people to their profiles. They do this as a way to use the traffic on our large trans subs for their personal profit. They usually have links to their OnlyFans in their profiles and they tell people to check their profiles for more pictures or they ask folks to send them DMs, and they just so happen to have links to all their porn on their profiles.
We don't mind if y'all want to post porn on reddit. That's fine, go right ahead. The problem is when people start spamming our communities to spread it.
And the spam goes both ways, unfortunately. Creepers and predators follow these porn accounts into our community subreddits, where they harass our users, prey on our minors, and treat people like we're just a fetish. It creates a ton of trouble.
Someone described it the other day as "The mods are trying to keep out the flies, but then OP walks in here covered in honey."
If you want to post porn on reddit, use a second account to do it. Not only will this be safer for you, but it will also help keep our communities safe, too. If something goes wrong, you can delete your porn account in a hurry, while keeping your community postings separate. This also makes it easier to protect yourself by keeping your personal details away from your followers on your porn posts.
This is the Internet, and these are large, public forums. You never know what sort of stalker or creeper might be following your posts and gathering your information, so please be careful with it.
You can think about these creepers as fleas on a dog. We're happy to provide a safe and healthy community where y'all can share and mingle, but we don't want any fleas in our dog park, so please help keep the fleas out of our spaces.
Thank you!
Edit: Obviously, if you see any creepers or fetishists wandering around the comments section of our subreddits, please report those comments or message a mod and let us know. Thanks again!
