On the internet, as in real life, some rules apply. Neither Thor or I want to censor content, but our editorial generosity has been abused. We retain the right to moderate content on cVillain.com, based on the following misconducts:
Obscene language.
An “R” rating, according to the MPAA, may include “hard language.” The language for NC-17 is vague: “too strong.” If Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart can say it, so can we: I know it when I see it.
Gratuitous profanity, allusions to aberrational sexual behavior, threatening words, and defamation of character will be deleted from the site or simply not approved. Repeat offenders will lose their logins.
Lying.
Just don’t.
“Outing.”
Sometimes, users have been able to figure out the identity of a cVillain. If you already know this person, or if you would like to know this person, the recommended protocol is to e-mail them from a legitimate e-mail account in your name and explain why you’re writing.
Real names.
You may use real names only in the context of reviews, to give credit where credit is due. If making reference to a cVillain, use his/her handle.
Shameless self-promotion
We want you to promote your business or activity on the site. It has not yet happened, but it could– submitting a post that praises you or your business to god-like status is really just making you look bad. If you want a big story, email details to me and Thor. We’ll consider it.

And lo! As from the dawn of day to the stark reaches of eternity, these 5 Commandments are to thee as thee art be to me.
Thanks, Tuffy! I think!
jeez - if you want me to leave, just say so…
I do believe we are aberrationally screwed.
Does Tuffy have to change his/her (keeping the mystery alive) name to “McHuglebee”?
Hecks no! And the holy-rolling in the earlier post was b/c I just got back from mass. And by mass, I mean 3 mimosas.
and by 3 mimosas, I mean 6 mimosas.
Tuffy, I think there are a number of lapsed Catholics on the board who would gladly attend mass with you. After all, God is in the details. And by “details,” I mean “mimosas.”
I find it astonishing that this is the first write up on “Acceptable Behavior†(at least that I know of). That speaks volumes about the uprightness of this site, it’s editors, and subscribers. We’re all fairly educated individuals, we can surely find other ways around the MPAA tinmad!
Mmmm, mimosas. I like the way cvillains think.
On the Hill: are you being sarcastic? I’m surprised we haven’t done it yet, only because abusers who need to be reprimanded need to know the rules first. Welcome to the party, and please, help yourself to graham crackers and ants on a log. And mimosas.
Lilith, I was not being sarcastic at all. I was actually praising you all (imagine that)! Is that against the rules? Most sites would have had to result in such a posting much sooner. I have been nothing but impressed with the postings and comments that I have been reading over the last few days.
lilith, can i still make out with you or is that unacceptable behavior?
Speaking of unacceptable, how’s the poker game going y’all??
I’m sure someones losing some chicken nuggets. Hey Shen.
Hey C! next time let me know you’re gonna be in town so we can go make out in the C&O bathroom.
I am at poker now and kicking ass.
And PS we all decided we love Belmont Yo and he is the awesomest ever!
And that’s not the 3 buck chuck speaking…..
On the hill, thanks! I think it can be pretty easy to forget that just because we’re in internet world doesn’t mean everything goes. I mean, this is pretty standard stuff. I know this is a “wet blanket” move, but “terms and conditions” didn’t exist. You guys seem to get that there’s a lot of wiggle room here. If you wiggle out of it, we will be letting you know.
oy, it’s on baby! I hope to make it to some kind of dance partay this week….I’ll just make lilith wait in line…well, actually it’s tight but there is room for three. Possible 4 if 2o4’s gonna be around.
Is it strange I should change..I don’t know why don’t you ask her
haha OY’s last comment was by shenanigans cuz i’m using his laptop haha sorry!hb
the same goes for you shenanigannnnnnnns.
hahahahahaha. (still shen)
Ants on a log. hahahaha.
Remember when I said I was comign to poker. That was before I went to Mellow and got hammered. Sorry.
Poker? I played ping pong all night. I aver that ping pong is superior to poker. QED.
hip-doof just raped me in poker. boo.
and we’re going to see the goat on weds. if anybody wants in.
So if no one wants in, you’re not going to see it?
Stanley, are you fucking with shenanigans over grammar? ’cause she so busted out some Stanley at poker. I’ve got subjunctivitis. She didn’t just get raped at poker, she got donkey punched too!
Count me in for the Goat.
watch the language, doofer. see above for ratings instructions.
Lil can put me over her knee if she wants to.
Good morning lovelies…Count me in for the Goat.
Did the site get in trouble for something?
Rules are good to establish. If the site gets too popular (attracting teens in particular) then it’s going to get unruly in here.
if this site attracts teenagers i’m going to tie it to a cinderblock and send it to the bottom of the marianas trench.
i’m kidding, thor. but you should.
You have it backwards Grape. This site is attracted to teenagers, thats why it got in trouble.
/16′ll get you 20
Is it ok if I write a post that contains nudity? Will either of you publish such a thing? seriously
