Forum rules

These rules keep the forums useful and keep people safe. They are based on the Bluelight terms and rules and the TripSit rules, two long-running harm reduction communities. Moderators can hold, hide or remove posts and stop accounts from posting.

Emergencies and crisis

The forums are not an emergency service, and moderators aren’t online around the clock. If you or someone near you may be overdosing or is in danger, call your local emergency number now.

If you are thinking about suicide: in the US you can call or text 988 (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Elsewhere, Find A Helpline lists free crisis lines by country. If a post makes you worry someone is in danger, report it with the reason “Someone may be in danger or crisis” so moderators see it first.

The rules

  1. Adults only. You must be 18 or older to use the forums.
  2. No sourcing. Don’t ask for, offer, name or link sellers, dealers, vendors, markets (including darknet markets), shops that sell drugs, or ways to contact them. That includes “DM me”, messenger handles and jokes about sourcing. Harm reduction supplies are fine to name and link (test kits, drug checking services, scales, sterile equipment, naloxone) as long as the place doesn’t also sell drugs.
  3. No buying, selling or trading of drugs, prescriptions or anything else.
  4. Don’t encourage dangerous use. No dares, no egging people on, no pushing higher doses or risky combinations. Say so when a dose or combination looks unsafe.
  5. Don’t guess. If you aren’t sure something is right, say that, or don’t post it as fact. Link a source when you can. Nothing on the forums is medical advice, and members are not your doctor.
  6. Protect your privacy, and everyone else’s. Don’t post your real name, address, workplace, school, phone number or photos that could identify you. Never post anyone else’s personal details.
  7. No planning crimes. Don’t post about crimes you are going to commit or ask how to get around drug tests.
  8. Be decent. No harassment, threats, hate or put-downs about anyone’s drug use or recovery.
  9. No spam or advertising, no sexual content, and one account per person.

How moderation works

  • Posts that look like they may break rule 2, or that carry many links, wait for a quick moderator check before others see them. So does a link from an account made today. A held post isn’t a punishment: most are approved.
  • Anyone logged in can report a post. Moderators read every report.
  • Moderators can hide a post, lock or pin a thread, and stop an account from posting for a while or for good. When you try to post, you’ll see the reason.
  • You can edit or delete your own posts at any time. Deleting wipes the text for good. Deleting your account wipes the text of all your posts.
  • To appeal or ask about a decision, email [email protected].
