- 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.
Welcome to Cooty's Rat Semen, your new home for online confessions and secrets.
Like other similar sites, we discourage conversations between secrets or commenting on other users' confessions. For quite a few people, it takes a lot of courage to post their secrets, even if it's anonymous. The last thing they need is someone giving them a ration of shit because they don't agree with them. For this reason, we've implemented voting on secrets.
Next to each secret (except for administrative secrets), you will see links to vote a secret up or down. You can only vote once per secret, and you must be logged in to do so. The 100 highest rated secrets will be listed if you click "Best" at the top of the page, and will be ordered by highest rated, then by date entered. None of that will really matter until there are at least 100 secrets and enough votes to show any real difference. Until then, first 100 posters, you're in the "Best of" category.
In an attempt to curb spam, we require that you activate your account by providing a valid e-mail address. You will receive an activation link that you must click to enable your account. This should cut back on the amount of crap posted to the site, but we'll see. I may switch to the use of CAPTCHA images in the future, though that would disable the ability to post secrets from text-only browsers.
To keep things from getting out of hand, we have a team of moderators who are able to edit or delete posts that violate our rules. Unlike other sites, you won't be banned unless it becomes a problem. You can see the basic rules above the secrets entry box, or by visiting the "Rules" link at the top. Basically, just don't post any information that can personally identify you or anybody else. You can use initials, but not whole names, no addresses, phone numbers, or emails. Also, please don't post secrets containing "U" and "UR" in place of "you" and "your/you're", unless you're making fun of someone who does that, because that really makes you look stupid. Somebody had to tell you.
Also, please try to avoid any form of "Me too" post, unless you're going to fill it in with your own tales of woe.
One last note: Only I, your glorious admin, have the right to post HTML and images in my posts. I don't need the complaints that would come the first time someone posts Goatse or Tubgirl. As others have found out, you should also never Google anything I say that you don't understand, such as the aforementioned Goatse, Tubgirl, LemonParty, or Hai2u. Trust me on this, you'll save yourself from hellish visions that you can never unsee.
For now, let's let the experiment begin. You get all of the burden-lifting of a church confessional, with none of the shame or guilt. Enjoy yourselves, and if you have any questions, check the "Help" link at the top before using the contact form at the bottom.
Thanks for visiting!
