General Site Rules

• Kindness and consideration for others is a must. We are adults, we expect you to behave and avoid squabbling like children, please communicate with one another and remain courteous even if you and another member are not on friendly terms.
• This roleplay is meant to be a fun hobby and as such please remember we have lives/jobs and to be patient with one another.
• Trashing or otherwise talking poorly about other sites/people/groups is not allowed. We would like to avoid the spreading of such negativity.
• Any art posted on the site or discord must be either your own art/commissioned or F2U work you have credited (such as base fills etc..)
• Plagiarism is not permitted. Your writing should be your own. Accounts of plagiarism are an immediate ban on first offense.
  • For artists who find their work posted here without their consent please feel free to CONTACT US to have it removed and we will ensure the member is punished accordingly.
  • For our stance on plagiarism involving coding/fancyposts specifically please see Coding Rules & Guidelines
• Under no circumstances are AI Art/AI Generative Text Tools or anything relating to either permitted to be used.
• We are an LGBTQA+ Friendly Roleplaying Community!
  • Hatespeech, racism, sexism and other forms of bigotry will not be tolerated!
• Please be mindful of terminology you use on the site as some things are considered slurs and have negative connotations with various cultures.
  Below we've included a spoiler of censored terms we do not allow used on our site, please don't feel bad if you were unaware of their status as a slur but going forward aspire to educate yourself and others politely to not utilize them! Our list will grow as we learn more and strive to educate ourselves as well!
  
  Spoiler: Disallowed Words

  These are still censored for comfort sake, but a simple googling will educate the exact spelling!
  For obvious reasons well-known racial terminology with a negative history are not listed but also not allowed!
  Spook (Spooked) - When referring to our mascot please ensure you do not shorten his name and use Spooky as the non-y variant has a racist history!
  Pikey - is an ethnic slur referring to Roma and Traveller people.
  Gypsy (in addition the term gypped) - is an ethnic slur referring to Roma and Traveller people.
  Retarded - Derogatory term to those with autism/mental disabilities (we do not allow the excuse to reclaim.)
  Faggot (and it's shortened variant) - Derogatory term for the LGBTQA+ community (we do not allow the excuse to reclaim.)
  Batty Boy - is a derogatory term for the LGBTQA+ community
• Regarding off-site matters - We will only enforce our rules on our site and discord, we do not intend to extend our moderation to other sites nor do we care what people do in their own servers, social media and private places unless it specifically compromises our community's comfort and safety.
• Please refrain from bumping your threads with filler posts as due to our FK system this can be considered a form of spam farming and is not allowed. If you wish to remind others to post you may ask them in their channels in the Personal Server discord or throw the thread back into thread-share for that clan once again!

Purrgatory is an 18+ Roleplaying website, not because it has explicit content but because most of its member base are adults and would prefer to work on our collaborative writing in adult only spaces where we do not have to worry about our language or discussing our problems in the presence of minors. While the site IS 18+ that does not mean you may post explicit or NSFW material on it or in the Discord. Sexual content, mature graphics and depictions and mentions of illegal substances should be avoided.
