Standards that apply if and when comments, forums, or other user-generated content are introduced on properties in the Shrink Network. These rules are written in advance, so they are clear before anyone posts.
Current status
ShrinkNetwork.com does not host comments, forums, or other user-generated content at this time. This page is published as a framework that will apply if that changes on this site or on another network property.
Community guidelines
If user-generated content is opened on a property in the network, contributions must be respectful, non-commercial, and free of medical or legal advice to other users. Personal stories are welcome. Direct medical advice to another person is not. Harassment, threats, hate speech, spam, doxxing, and impersonation are not permitted and will be removed.
User content terms
By submitting any content to a Shrink Network property, you confirm that the content is yours to share, that it does not violate anyone's privacy or copyright, and that it does not contain personal health information of another identifiable person. You grant the Shrink Network a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, display, moderate, and remove that content.
Comment policy
Comments, where enabled, are moderated. Comments may be edited for clarity, hidden, or removed at the discretion of the moderator without prior notice. Comments that include personal medical questions will be redirected to a clinician, since a comment thread cannot provide care.
Children
Community features, when present, are intended for users 18 and over. Submissions identifiably from a minor will be removed.
Safety
If a community post suggests imminent risk of harm to self or others, moderators will respond with crisis resources. Crisis safety overrides other moderation rules.
