Hello, FNFA.

Gore & Venting PSA 🗒-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Introduction

It has come to the staff’s attention that many s have been venting without warning, sometimes in graphic detail, in public spaces such as public chats, their own/other people's walls, comment sections, and occasionally in their own posts, which can make other s uncomfortable and even triggered in some cases.

For this reason staff have decided to make an updated Gore & venting PSA to help keep our community comfortable and clean for everyone.

What is venting?

Venting is the process of letting out one's feelings such as sadness, anger, grief, stress, frustration, etc.

Almost everyone has had a time in their life When they're needed to express their feelings to others and talk about what they're feeling. Of course talking about your emotions is okay. Everyone is allowed to have emotions. However, there's an ongoing issue of people not knowing when and where it is and is not appropriate to vent.

In our community we do not allow to vent publicly within any chatroom as it could be triggering. However, we do allow to express their emotions through posts of vent art, as long as it remains on topic while following our guidelines on triggering content.

What is triggering?

Triggering Content is anything that could be seen as disturbing to the average person or anything that could make them uncomfortable. This includes graphic mentions/descriptions of self harm, abuse, violence, eating disorders, and more.

If you are confused on whether or not your content requires a trigger warning, ask yourself these questions:

* Is the content meant to distress others?

* Does it encourage harm upon the viewer?

* Can it make others nauseous, anxious, or uncomfortable?

* Is there any hinting/references to traumatic events and/or situations?

If you find yourself saying yes to any of these questions, you are required to add a proper trigger warning for that content, along with censored language to avoid too-graphic of a description (for example: adding a cover image to your post with a trigger warning along with a second warning in the description of your post would be a proper warning).

Gore

Gore is grotesque imagery and/or description of bodily harm. Almost all aminos have rules on this topic and this amino is no exception.

In some cases people may went to show art or written works that involve mature topics/content. For gore specifically, any and all explicit details pertaining gore requires a warning and must be kept at a minimum to avoid triggering others.

We want to try to allow creativity as much as possible as long as proper warnings are added that way people are aware of the content and have a choice in whether they see that kind of content or not.

Even if you add warnings, there may be a time in which your content may be deemed “too graphic”. If that’s the case, a staff member will disable your post and leave a message explaining what part(s) of the post is too graphic, that way you can either edit that part of the content or delete it entirely in order for your post to be enabled.

Closing

With this post coming to a close, we thank you all for taking the time to read this updated PSA. If you see a going against this PSA and/or the guidelines, please report it to a staff member through pms or by utilizing our report chat so we can keep our amino safe and clean for everyone. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them below and a staff member will answer your question as soon as possible.
