  • Due to the hosting service (DreamHost) telling me that my rates are going to jump 3x starting July 3rd, I'm moving the site to cheaper, more reliable hosting. If you get any 404s over the next few weeks, that's probably the problem. I'm also working on a redesign of the site to get rid of the login requirement. Secrets will be truly anonymous, and there won't be any accounts, except for administrative tasks, which only I do anyway.

Rules

I'm not one for having very many rules, but in this litigious society, I have to cover my ass first and foremost.

The major rules and regulations around here:

  1. First Be No Dick

    Don't be a dick to other posters. Simple as that. Hippocrates would be proud.

    This means no criticizing other posters' secrets, no matter how you feel about them. If you're registered, you can vote their secret up or down, if you think it's cool, lame, inappropriate, or whatever. You get one vote per secret, and you can't change it, so make it count.

  2. Moderators and Administrators can and will edit and/or delete secrets containing personally identifying information.

  3. After adding a secret to the site, you will have 5 minutes in which to edit your secret before it becomes permanent. Mods and admins are able to edit and delete your secret from now until the end of time. If you miss the editing period, and would like to change or remove your secret for whatever reason, please use the contact form and ask to have it edited/removed. This will only work for secrets you have added yourself, so don't try to get another user's secret deleted, unless you feel it's highly inappropriate and the mods/admins missed something.

  4. For the same reason we have to validate emails, we have to disallow posting of HTML, images, and scripts. Some people like to ignore our first rule and post links to their lame-ass poker spam sites to improve their Google PageRank. If I ever allow links, they'll have rel="nofollow" attached to them, so search engines will never pick them up anyway. I will PROBABLY never allow links in posts, because I'm not looking forward to getting sued when someone loses their job or their innocence after being Goatse'd.

  5. The only person who is beholden to no one is/are the Administrators, who are allowed to post HTML and images, and engage in various forms of dickery, which you agree to allow me/us, because I gave you this awesome site out of the kindness of my heart, and I get paid nothing for it.

  6. As some have unfortunately learned, it is best to never Google anything I mention in passing that you don't understand. This includes Goatse, Tubgirl, Lemon Party, and Hai2u. If you look them up, it will build character, but this isn't Dungeons and Dragons, so I doubt that's your goal. You are likely to see something you can't unsee, be scarred for life, and be eaten by a Grue.

  7. More rules to come as I think of them...

The basics (for those who like lists):
