1 Don't Screenshot or Share Anything from This Group

You will be permanently banned from this group and all affiliated groups if you:

-Tell any men about them being posted in this group.

-Share anything posted in this group outside of this group.

-Mention this group or the existence of groups like this on social media, on a podcast, on the radio, to the media, anywhere in public, or to any male friends.

We do all we can but there is always risk in speaking up. Be mentally prepared for the things you say here to get back to who you wrote about.

2 Follow These Guidelines for Posting In This Group❗

Don't include even a single remotely negative word or phrase in the post text or as text in any post photos.

Include minimal detail in the post itself. Be vague, then put all of the details in the comments.

Posts about guys are allowed to include a first name and photo, but no specific information is required. Don’t include any other personal or contact information, as listed in Rule #4.

Don’t post a man unless you dated him, are dating him, or may potentially go on a date with him.

3 Follow These Guidelines for Posting In This Group❗

You can ask for advice, post stories, and share resources here, but all posts are limited to a max of 4 sentences.

Images of text conversations can’t be in the main post and must be in the comments.

Don’t post faces of minors, photos with multiple people, or overly embarrassing photos.

Don’t post about anything that will likely cause arguments (politics, finances, etc.)

Don’t post about leaked posts, men's groups, group complaints, or media coverage of AWDTSG without speaking to admin first.

4 No Personal Info, Doxxing, or Outside Contact

Don’t post or comment any last names, social media usernames, phone numbers, addresses, employers, or any other personal or contact information that would make it possible for members or bad actors to look up or contact someone posted here.

Adding this information greatly increases the chances that they will find out they were posted.

It’s about protection. Not retaliation.

Don’t look up, provoke, or harass anyone posted. 

Don't contact the spouse, family, or employer of anyone posted.

5 It's About Protecting Women, Not Judging Men

Mean, judgmental, or unnecessary comments about anyone posted here will get you banned.

Don't make comments based on a guy’s looks, attire, name, age, or occupation.

Don’t comment on any guy unless you have personal experience with them or relevant information about them.

Don’t make jokes about anyone or speculate about men you don’t personally know.

Other women have different preferences in men than you. Respect them.

Don't laugh react at posts that aren’t specifically meant to be funny.

6 No Libel, Defamation, or Copyright Infringement

No false information about anyone will be tolerated. Please be prepared to show proof of anything you state about any individual.

You are posting at your own risk. If you don't have any proof of allegations you make against someone posted in this group, you are in danger of being sued for libel and/or defamation.

Don't post any pictures that infringe upon or violate someone else’s intellectual property rights or copyrights.

We do not accept any responsibility for anything you post or comment.

7 Treat Other Women With Dignity, Care, and Respect

Any woman who posts in this group should feel safe in doing so and should not be the target of attack, harassment, or coercion.

We don't tolerate any bullying, gaslighting, shaming, victim blaming, or aggressive behavior.

Women get shamed and attacked for their opinions in society enough as it is. We don’t have any room for that here.

There’s no room for “tough love” here. Always show compassion.

We don’t tolerate members showing hate towards or posting any other women in any circumstances.

8 Be Civil, Understanding, Inclusive, and Calm

Hate speech or racism in any form will lead to immediate banning from the group.

We understand that you may not agree with a person's opinion, life choices, preferences, etc. Do not push your views upon other members.

Do not show hostility towards other members. If you can’t word your disagreement in a civil and respectful way, don’t say anything at all.

If someone is mean or breaks a rule, do not start arguing with them. Report it and disengage. Arguing back risks removal for both of you.

9 Show Patience and Respect to Admin and Moderators

Don’t post asking for admin. If you need help, message every moderator instead of messaging an admin. Be patient when waiting for a response. We can't respond to everyone.

Don't argue with the admins or moderators.

Show aggression towards an admin or moderator and you will be banned.

We'll remove any content that we believe may get flagged by Facebook.

We may remove content without explanation.

We may ban you for any reason. We no longer argue with former members about why they were banned.

10 Other Important Content Rules

Unnecessary comments bury any actual information and will be deleted.

Don’t push anyone to divulge information. Particularly not “for search purposes”.

Don't give advice unless the poster specifically asked for it.

Don’t question why someone chose to post anonymously.

Don’t promote yourself, your business, or your event.

Don’t comment or joke about causing harm to anyone.

Don’t mention any other AWDTSG Facebook groups unless they are also run by the same admins.

No loyalty checks.
