I'm Ethel, I just joined here and I am lost.
I got kicked off of Literotica for "violating" a "rule" that I don't think I did violate.
The first thing I did here was ask for a definition of "ZZZ" (something that was banned there as well as here).
The rules say I cannot post "true" stories about ___. I also cannot post anything on the subject of "ZZZ" on the forum, or in the chat room. But the definition of "ZZZ" is unclear. Here the "rules" say that "ZZZ" is "Y" between "A" "B" people. (The problem being A is a variable with no set value. (Like how much cayenne pepper is too much?)
We are all people, so at one logical extreme it bans all communication. Logically, that cannot be a valid interpretation. At the other extreme it does not include what I want to say. Which is fine, unless after I've unpacked my metaphorical bags I am told to leave.
The "rules" go on to say that "ZZZ" is illegal. That is truly a can of worms. It isn't illegal in New York State (where I live) or in the adjoining states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont or any of Canada. But it is illegal, or banned without criminal penalty in 17 US States. There is no federal law against it.
Then it goes on to say it's banned at Lush if a majority of site members find it "highly objectionable." Has there been a referendum? What is "highly objectionable"? The answer is becoming more confusing than the question.
I want to be respectful of the rules here. I don't want to offend or be writing where I am not welcome. What I am "not talking" about is legal and not that unusual in New York, but often gets conflated with something that is illegal and pretty rare. (Like using a law against "drugs" to ban aspirin, which technically IS a drug.)
I don't want to be in a place where I am not welcome. I don't want to break any of the rules here. I would truly welcome a PM so I could "fill in the blanks" and ask the question straight out.
