✦ However, menfesses that are too triggering, too explicit, overly detailed, potentially harmful, or could be interpreted in the wrong way are not allowed. We will not post menfesses that describe harmful acts in a graphic or instructional manner, nor will we allow posts that might unintentionally romanticize or frame self-hatred, toxic behaviors, or similar topics in ways that could be misinterpreted or make harmful behaviors seem relatable in any way. 🆕

✦ It is not allowed to mention, discuss, or include prescription medications without clear context, purpose, or importance. Also, media attachments should only be included when necessary to provide further and clearer context, and only when they help clarify the question or situation being asked. 🆕
