Overview
At Pandoras Box, we envision a society in which all people
can proudly live and love. These ideals are reflected in the writing and
implementation of our community guidelines:
kindness, caring for one another, belonging, and inclusion.
security, genuineness, and privacy rights.
Health, well-being, consent, and sex positivity.
These rules are intended to help you understand what is
expected of you, how to act appropriately, and how to contribute to making
Pandoras Box a friendly and enjoyable community.
In some circumstances, we may give warnings, proactively
restrict specific discriminatory or harmful phrases from being used on profiles
or remove content as a first response because we believe in educating our
community and providing them the opportunity to change their behaviour. We do,
however, take more drastic actions, like permanent bans, in the event of
serious infractions or recurring offences. We take pride in our meticulous
moderation procedures and have a strong appeals process to guarantee equitable
results.
Please know that we are concerned about you and your
experience, and that assistance is accessible if you have a bad encounter.
Please consider what you need to heal and take care of yourself. Be aware that
you can notify Pandoras Box of any incidents, and that your reports will be
treated discreetly.
Additionally, by restricting profiles, you can take use of
our built-in security features to better manage your personal Pandoras Box
experience. Please contact us if you have any questions about whether someone
else is violating our community guidelines. We are available to assist.
Authenticity, safety, and privacy rights
1. To utilise Pandora's Box, you must be an adult.
This implies that in certain states or nations, you must be
at least eighteen years old. We urge you to report profiles that you believe to
be underage and those that you believe may be exploiting children.
We take this age restriction extremely seriously, and
accounts that appear to be underage are promptly banned.
You will be permanently banned if you pretend to be a minor
for any reason.
Our age policy is also violated if someone on Pandoras Box
intentionally communicates with a juvenile or someone they suspect of being a
minor. This policy also applies to communication.
Any and any photographs of children are prohibited. This
contains pictures with a minor's face in the background or blurred out.
Lastly, uploading or distributing any anything that depicts
child sexual assault is strictly prohibited. It is strictly forbidden to show
or depict children in any way that involves sexual activity.
To help keep our community safe, please report any
photographs or videos that show a minor to us right away as Underage. This
includes profiles, chat messages, and other content that suggests a member is a
minor.
We notify the National Centre for Missing and Exploited
Children of incidents that may be connected to child endangerment. Pandoras Box
is a part of the Technology Coalition and the We Protect Global Alliance.
Furthermore, we employ proactive techniques to identify potentially hazardous
or unlawful content pertaining to minors.
2. Pandora's Box is not for buying or selling, but for
real connections.
We value a good side gig, and while sharing resources or
information or inviting people to an event is wonderful, Pandora's Box is
solely for personal use. Pandoras Box is not a place to purchase or sell,
promote or represent a company or organisation, or solicit money or other goods
or services.
This comprises:
requesting gifts, cash, or donations; providing bank account
information or payment app details.
offers to purchase any type of product or service or using Pandoras
Box to locate potential customers.
Sending out promotional materials or advertising for a
company, club, event, competition, or group.
"Gen" or generous, "pay to play" or p2p,
findom, paid massages, escorting services, and sugar daddy/baby arrangements.
Emojis are frequently connected to the purchase or sale of
products and services.
3. Be authentic.
Although you are free to choose what you choose to publish
about yourself, it must be genuine and accurate. Scams, phoney accounts, and
the usage of Pandora's Boxes to trick our users are not permitted. We
collaborate with NGOs to assist in exposing user entrapments and honeytraps in
high-risk situations.
We give users the choice to have a private profile that
doesn't have to disclose their true identify. You are still prohibited from
impersonating someone else and are subject to these Community Guidelines.
Pictures must be of you or be your own creation; they cannot
be of other people.
To maintain the validity of your profile in the event that
it is suspected to be fraudulent (also known as a "catfish"), we
could require you to authenticate yourself using safe techniques.
Respect other people's intellectual property rights by not
posting deepfakes, artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images, synthetic
media, or photos that are copyrighted by others without their express
permission.
4. Preserve personal data and privacy.
We ask that you refrain from posting private information
(yours or others') online for safety and privacy reasons.
Any profile information entered on Pandoras Box is entirely
voluntary and is subject to change or deletion at any moment. Nevertheless,
more successful matches could result from adding details about your identity
and preferences to your profile.
The following should not be shown on your public profile,
per our request:
Contact details such as phone numbers, email addresses,
physical addresses, or connections to private messaging programs like WhatsApp,
together with your login.
Financial data, such as bank account numbers or links to
financial apps like Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo, or your username on those apps.
Even with the best of intentions, you are not allowed to
divulge another person's information. This involves publicly outing someone,
publishing intimate conversations or photos, or connecting their real
identity—including social media accounts, real identities, etc.—to a Pandoras
Box profile.
You are allowed to share your personal social media accounts
on sites like Instagram and TikTok.
Never give someone else the password to your Pandoras Box
account. Although we might assist you in changing your password if you forget
it, we will never ask for it.
kindness, caring for one another, belonging, and inclusion.
5. Be kind to other people and express your desires in a
constructive, affirming manner.
People can have fun, feel good about themselves, and get to
know one another at Pandora's Box. We support the right to free speech, but not
at the expense of others. You will feel good about yourself if you are kind to
others and help them feel good about themselves.
Bullying and harassment are not permitted on Pandora's Box.
Someone’s day can be ruined by even insignificant remarks. The saying goes,
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." You
don't have to harm other people to feel better about yourself.
Rejecting someone based solely on who they are can do
serious harm. People from historically marginalised backgrounds are
particularly harmed by this.
You don't get to know people for who they really are when
you treat groups of people as if they are all the same. We ask that you regard
each individual as unique.
Hatred and prejudice are not tolerated. This includes the
employment of damaging stereotypes; discrimination and dehumanisation; bigotry
driven by intolerance, hatred, or prejudice; and all forms of abuse, assault,
and threats. It holds true for conversations, profiles, and face-to-face
interactions. When you witness or encounter it, kindly report it.
Instead of expressing who you don't want to see, Pandora's
Box was designed to allow you to express your wants in a constructive
manner. You can find folks who share
your interests by using the Pandora's box categories.
Certain groups have historically been marginalised and are
more prone to face discrimination, and power dynamics are frequently at work.
It's crucial to always get consent and be conscious of your own power dynamics
to prevent hurting others, even though some people may love fetishisation or
power play as part of a sexual kink. We are especially dedicated to preventing
abuse, which fuels more discrimination and marginalisation. We don't permit:
Statements that discriminate against marginalised groups and
identities (e.g., “[this group] only” or “no one from [marginalised group]”),
sexual racism, and other recognised racist signals are examples of racism.
Fetishisation is the oversexualization of someone based on a
single quality, characteristic, identity, or type (e.g., gender or ethnicity)
at the expense of another person's desire.
Misgendering, discrimination based on gender, gender
identity, and gender stereotypes, transphobia, and malicious and targeted
deadnaming. People who identify as transgender or nonbinary are welcome on
Pandora's Box.
prejudice based on marginalised identities, including
national origin, gender (e.g., sexism), sexual orientation (e.g., aphobia,
homophobia, and biphobia), health status (e.g., HIV status, mental health
status), religious affiliation, disability, or neurodivergence.
bullying, harassment, humiliation, or persistently harmful
conduct. Body shaming and bullying based on physical attributes (e.g., body
type, weight, hair, or skin colour) are examples of this.
Hate groups, including those that support or are associated
with violent and hateful organisations or their operations (such as violent
extremist groups and terrorist organisations).
endorsing or publicising damaging "conversion
therapy" or similar initiatives that aim to alter a person's gender
identity or sexual orientation.
Advocate for others if you feel comfortable doing so. In
addition to reporting inappropriate behaviour or content, you might choose to
defend others as a bystander. If you do wish to remark, we advise keeping it
brief and straightforward.
It's preferable to simply move on if someone respectfully
declines. Please report or block someone who rejects you brutally and move on.
It won't help if you respond in kind. People who (politely!) reject others are
not banned. You can always let others know how you like to be told no by using
your profile.
Be strong yet gentle when you let someone know you're not
interested. It's best to keep things generic; there's no reason to offend
anyone.
6. Not a single bit of violence.
We want to ensure that Pandora's Box is a safe place in a
society that isn't always tolerant of LGBTQ individuals.
We don't permit:
violent conduct, whether in person or online. This covers
serious in-person behaviours such as stalking, robbery, and assault.
In situations where
it is safe to do so, credible threats may be reported to law authorities.
offensive or damaging content, even if it was not malicious;
jokes or memes that discriminate against or disparage other people; images of
animal abuse, etc.
promoting risky conduct, including pranks, perilous
challenges, and self-harm.
We let (and encourage!) members of our community to voice
their political views, encourage others to cast their ballots, discuss
candidates, share information about the democratic process, and more.
We forbid the propagation of false information,
intimidation, harassment, manipulation, and disruption of the democratic
process.
We anticipate that individuals will respect one another's
differences of opinion.
Even when it comes to political discussions, our hate speech
policy remains in effect.
7. We promise to treat you with consideration and decency
and demand the same in return.
We work hard and are human. We expect you to engage with us
in a sincere manner because we want your experience on Pandoras Box to be
fantastic.
Our policies regarding polite conduct also apply to dealings
with our employees. Please refrain from threatening or harassing us. Issues and
complaints ought to be raised here rather than through unauthorised routes.
It is not permitted to abuse our reporting system. This
includes reporting someone maliciously, sending us repeated reports for the
same issue, or reporting someone based just on their identify.
Consent, sex positivity, health, and wellbeing.
1. Encourage others' health and wellbeing.
We do not permit profiles that are primarily or exclusively
focused on drug material in an attempt to deter dangerous activities.
We don't permit:
displaying or promoting careless drug usage.
Non-prescription drug use in public (apart from cannabis)
should only be discussed in relation to addiction treatment.
profiles with a strong emphasis on or predominance of drug
content, including cannabis.
talking about or taking part in the purchase or sale of
drugs (of any type).
Disinformation is not tolerated. When it comes to
disseminating information on vaccines, outbreaks, and health issues, we
collaborate with reliable medical professionals.
We might delete content from public profiles that shows
self-harm or suicidal ideation for the sake of our community's safety.
2. Consent is necessary. Be mindful of and assert your
own boundaries.
Since Pandora's Box is a sex-positive environment, we
encourage everyone to enjoy themselves without fear of harm. Consent is the key
to this: talking with others about your boundaries and what you want to do
together.
Obtaining clear and enthusiastic assurance that your partner
or partners feel safe, validated, and content is essential to ensuring consent.
Giving your consent entails communicating to your spouse or
partners that you are having fun and are at ease with all that is taking place.
Consent is always reversible; you can stop doing anything at
any time if you decide you no longer want to. You are not required to follow
through on anything you may have consented to in person, by text, or on the
Pandoras Box app when you meet up.
Here are some details on Pandora's Box consent.
Not everyone on Pandoras Box is interested in having an
explicit discussion immediately away—or, in certain situations, at all. Request
permission before sending graphic messages or naked pictures and avoid sharing
them online. Sexually explicit or pornographic content is not permitted on
public profiles.
Share and post only pictures of yourself. Obtain the
express, enthusiastic consent and permission of others before sharing an image
that features them.
Please notify us if someone shares your photos without your
consent or makes threats to do so.Non-consensual image sharing is prohibited.
This comprises instances in which someone has shared or threatens to share
photographs from Pandora's Box.
It's crucial to get consent before engaging in any sexual
activity if you plan to meet someone in person. Sexual assault reports are
taken very seriously, and in-person or offline actions will result in a ban.
We support informed consent when it comes to sexual health.
Notifying your partners of your STI diagnosis is one of the
most crucial things you can do. In this manner, they can also be tested and
make an informed choice.
A person's health is at risk if you intentionally expose
them to an infectious risk and fail to disclose it. T
Guidelines for images and media
People of all sizes, shapes, nationalities, genders, and
identities can cheerfully and freely express their sexuality and identities at
Pandora's Box.
However, there are some kinds of imagery (such as pictures
and videos) that we cannot permit in order to maintain a vibrant and healthy
community. The guidelines for private and public content are different.
Images in public (profiles) must be of you and cannot be
aggressive, pornographic, or unlawful.
You can upload nudity in private (chats and albums), but
refrain from posting anything violent or unlawful.
THE INFORMATION:
Keep naked photos private. Although Pandoras Box is a
sex-positive site, not everyone wants to have an explicit talk immediately—or,
in some situations, at all. Request permission before sending graphic messages
or naked pictures, and avoid sharing them online.
We permit non-pornographic sexual positions, pictures of
knickers and certain butt photographs on profiles as long as they are not
graphic and don't have an excessively sexual theme. To avoid being removed from
Apple and Google's app stores, our user experience must be deemed acceptable by
their decision-makers.
Profile photographs are not permitted to contain sexually
explicit images:
pictures of actual or imitated pornographic sex actions,
whether they are done alone or with others, while wearing or not.
Scribbles and filters are used to conceal obscene material.
It is prohibited if it is still obvious that it is pornography.
exposed genitalia or other sexually graphic nudity.
We are striving for photo guidelines that are inclusive of
all genders. Unfortunately, we are forced to classify women's nipples as
illegal nudity according to current app store restrictions. It is OK for men
and nonbinary people to display their nipples. Everyone is treated equally
under our non-nudity-related regulations.
bodily fluids, such as blood (artificial blood in costumes
is OK), pee, or semen.
Please maintain a cheerful and upbeat atmosphere at
Pandora's Box. This means that there should be no violent, offensive, unlawful,
or spammy content anywhere (including in albums and discussions).
Pictures have to be of you or made by you. Affirmative,
enthusiastic consent is required before sharing any photographs of your partner
or others.
We do accept artistic stuff, such as your own paintings or
photographs, as long as it doesn't feature you or your face.
Specifically, we forbid the following from occurring
anywhere on Pandoras Box:
Pictures that don't belong to you
any pictures of people taken without their permission.
pictures of children in any situation, even if they are
blurry or in the background.
content about child sexual abuse.
Pictures that we think are not of you or were taken by you,
have watermarks, or are copyrighted by someone else.
Pictures should convey a message about you or in some other
way show who you are. We will eliminate "junk" photographs that are
unclear or of poor quality, such as scribbles and solid black boxes.
Pictures of public personalities, such as actors, musicians,
politicians, or others, unless they are of you (in which case, welcome!). This
comprises pictures of impersonators of celebrities where it might not be
obvious if the subject is the real celebrity or an impersonator.
Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated, deepfake, or
synthetic images that are disguised as you (digital graphics based on genuine
images of yourself are fine).
Pictures that are violent or upsetting
Weapons and guns (pictures of toys that are obviously in a
non-threatening setting are OK).
Gore or blood (pictures of fake blood costumes are
acceptable); animal cruelty; animals that are seriously hurt or disfigured.
threatening or violent images (such as cartoons or pictures)
directed at any individual or organisation, including public and/or political
figures.
Anything that can be interpreted as offensive and cruel
(such as memes or jokes) or that demonstrates sympathy for or association with
violent, hateful, or extremist organisations.
Pictures or descriptions of suicide or self-harm.
Using drugs
pictures of drugs, including those that suggest drug usage
and their paraphernalia. Images that are exclusively or primarily focused on
substances, or that we suspect may be intended to promote drug use or advertise
drugs, are prohibited. However, casual references to cannabis, tobacco, and
alcohol are permitted (for instance, a cannabis leaf on a t-shirt or an image
of someone smoking).
Business operations
pictures that promote goods or services for sale, highlight
a brand or trademark, or include internet information for specific businesses.
Pictures that show or highlight money, credit cards, etc.
A word on moderation:
We moderate photos using both automatic and human
inspection, and we are attempting to lessen prejudice through team education
and AI learning. Please report any content you find on Pandoras Box that
doesn't follow our rules!
When determining whether to approve a photo, we do not
consider body hair, age, ethnicity, gender (except for nipples; see the app
store limits mentioned above), body type, or body hair type.
