The purpose of this site is ENTERTAINMENT and STRESS RELIEF for the OMGSRSLY CHILDFREE*.
Only CHILDFREE people may post on this site. This site welcomes CHILDFREE PEOPLE of all races, cultures, nationalities, ages, sexual/gender orientations, and socio-economic status (if I left anything out, let me know). It also welcomes CHILDFREE people of all religions and political persuasions, although folks should be prepared to see a variety of strong opinions about these two things. We have the following "rules":
1. No trolls allowed. No trolling other forums "on behalf" of BratFree.
2. Foul language is permitted.
3.
No racist comments. This means no racial slurs, but also no unnecessary descriptions of an individual's race/color which have no relevance to the story.4. Don't "Bingo" us. This is considered trolling. Google "Childfree Bingo" if you don't know what that means.
5. No threatening or plotting physical violence or any other illegal shit. This site and its members neither condone nor advocate violence.
6. Thread titles: use descriptions of what is the content of the thread. Threads whose titles are a bunch of nondescript expletives and/or emoticons may be NUKED or EDITED or MOVED at the discretion of the moderators.
While you're at it, provide some original commentary, not just a link to the article (or a paste of the article--see #9).
7. Disagreeing with or swearing at the admin(s) is permitted. This is not LiveJournal.
8. Email admin@bratfree.com or use the Private Messaging system to contact the Administrator for any reason.
9. Provide a reference (URL) when quoting content from another source. Provide excerpts of off-site content instead of quoting the entire article, if possible.
10. Due to lack of cooperation with people not giving animal-cruelty warnings in titles and with people posting descriptions of animal cruelty IN the titles, we are now going to arbitrarily delete, edit, or move to the Rest Room any stories that are mostly about animal cruelty and not about bad parenting. What this means is that THIS IS NO LONGER ALLOWED and the moderators have been encouraged to deal with it however they feel like at the moment. So, even if you've always followed the rules about this in the past, there will be no special exceptions. If you want to post this material, go to another forum, or start your own forum. None of us are being paid to run Bratfree no one is charged a fee to use this site, so if you don't like this new rule, go somewhere else.
* If you have biological offspring, are involved in raising a minor child, or you plan to do either of the aforementioned at some point in your life, you are not childfree. You may be a step-parent, childless, or pre-childed, but you are not child-free. If you aren't sure about children, you are a fence-sitter and this is not the site for you, either.
