This is a working draft. It is being reviewed by an attorney before Barely Zipped opens to the public. The rules below are what we intend to enforce, and we will enforce them from day one either way.
The short version
Be a person. Ask first. Take no for an answer. Everything else is detail.
Adults only, 18+
Nobody under 18 may join, appear in any content, or be referenced sexually.
Your date of birth is checked when you sign up and the rule is enforced by our database, not
by good intentions. Any content involving a minor is removed and reported to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children. There is no warning and no appeal.
Consent is the whole point
Post only what you made or have permission to share.
If someone else appears in your photo, they have to agree to it, and they can change
their mind later. Withdrawn consent takes the content down immediately.
Tagging someone is a request, not an action. It stays invisible until they accept.
Do not involve anyone in a fantasy, scene or post they did not agree to.
Blocking someone is final. Do not work around it.
Privacy is not optional here
Many members are not open about this part of their lives, and that choice is theirs.
No doxxing, no outing, no sharing anyone’s real name, workplace or address.
No screenshots of private messages posted publicly.
No revenge porn. Ever.
What you see here stays here.
How people get treated
No harassment, threats, or ignoring a clear no.
No hate speech or slurs.
No shaming anyone for their body, their kinks, their gender or their inexperience.
Newcomers ask basic questions. That is the point of a community.
What cannot be posted
Anything involving minors, in any form.
Non-consensual content, including anything recorded or shared without agreement.
Content involving animals.
Exchange of sex acts for money. We support sex workers as people and as members, and
talking about the work is welcome, but this platform cannot be used to transact.
Buying or selling drugs or controlled items.
Content that promotes self-harm or eating disorders.
Commercial activity
Link your business if you are genuinely part of the community. Do not join purely to
advertise. New accounts cannot post links. Selling opens up once your account is
established, and every listing is reviewed.
What happens when you break these
Depending on severity: a warning, content removal, a temporary hold, or removal from the
site. Serious violations skip straight to the end. Every report gets a status you can
see, so you will not be left wondering whether anyone looked at it.
Reporting
Everything on this site is reportable in one click. Reports from established members carry
extra weight, and filing a report that turns out to be right improves your standing here.
It works the other way too. Reporting somebody because they annoyed you, turned you down,
or disagreed with you is not reporting — it wastes the time we would rather spend on
people who are actually a problem, and it costs you standing. Getting it wrong once
is free. Nobody should hesitate over a report because they are not certain, and we
would far rather look at ten things that turn out to be nothing than miss the one that was
not. But a pattern of reports that go nowhere starts working against you.
