NEW RULES OCTOBER 2024

The goal of these rules is to keep goSupermodel a safe and comfortable space where everyone feels respected. We wish for goSupermodel to be as healthy as possible. These rules should be read with that goal in mind, and you should strive to make goSupermodel a place where everyone around you feels comfortable.

These rules apply to all areas on site. This includes but is not limited to: Forums, message boards, messages, games, magazines, clubs, profiles, mottos, and decors.

goSupermodel is a Danish-based branch of the mother company Momio. This means the website upholds the Danish law. If there is content on the website that breaks Danish or European laws, it will be removed and may be sanctioned accordingly.

We expect you to act in good faith in accordance with these rules and the objective behind them. Ignorance is not a valid plea when disputing a punishment.

Breaking the rules has consequences. You may have your comment deleted, get a rule reminder, a warning, a time-out (TO), a last warning (LW), a user-deletion, or a ban. Getting a warning or a single time-out (TO) does not mean your user is close to a deletion. These are often used as reminders about our rules. The type of sanction depends on how gravely you broke the rules, the severity of the rule broken, previous sanctions, and whether you have respected previous warnings.

In most cases, our users will receive a last warning message notifying the user that their account will be deleted or banned if they continue breaking a rule moving forward. We do delete or ban users that have bad intentions and are harming the community in present tense. Users who do not want to respect and learn by a warning or time-out (TO) and keep on breaking the rules are at risk of getting deleted or banned. Everyone should have a chance to learn from their mistakes and we genuinely want to include everyone into the community if they agree upon our rules and our policy.

Please keep in mind that we do not delete or ban users due to old warnings and time-outs (TOs). The main rule is that sanctions that are older than 6 months are not taken into consideration. However some sanctions that are older than 6 months might get taken into consideration, depending on the severity of the rulebreak.

If you are sanctioned and disagree with the received sanction you can reach out to the Moderator Inbox for an explanation, if you still disagree please reach out to our support at gosupermodel@watagame.com

1. TREAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH RESPECT

1.1. Treat other people with respect and kindness.

Just because you tolerate trolling and teasing, does not mean the person sitting on the other side of the screen does. Treat them with kindness and respect. We do not allow bad intentions.

1.2. We have a no-tolerance for bullying.

You are not allowed to bad-mouth, gang up on, mock or bully others. This includes indirect mocking/bullying where context makes it clear that you are targeting a specific person.

We understand that inside jokes will happen. Remember that these types of jokes are difficult to understand for people who do not know the context. For this reason it is highly encouraged to use tone indicators such as /j when joking between friends or tag the friend to show clear indication that you are on each other's friend list. Please note that tone indicators do not give permission to break our rules and your comment may be removed or sanctioned if it is found offensive. This is why Moderators may edit or remove your text and hand out a sanction for bullying. 

Here you can find a list of tone indicators.

1.3. Respect people's identity, wishes and boundaries.

Do not purposely misgender people. Do not disrespect reasonable requests for how people wish to be treated. If someone is uncomfortable being referred to by a term, avoid using that term. Joking about pronouns is never allowed and will be seen as transphobic.

If a user expresses their wish for you to not contact them and you continue to contact them, for example via goMessage or quoting them in forums, it is considered as harassment (rule 7 below), and may be sanctioned as such.

Note that pro-life discussion is not allowed, as it goes against people’s right to choose.

1.4. You are not allowed to discriminate or post hateful content.

Racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia, microaggressions etc. are not tolerated. goSupermodel has a zero-tolerance for bigoted content, which will result in an immediate TO and last warning or stricter sanctions depending on severity. Hateful or discriminatory content may include, but is not limited to:

• Commenting negatively on physical features, body types, etc.
• Expressing/implying that some physical features, cultures etc. are being more superior/inferior than others.

• Dismissive behaviour, tone policing and offensive language.
• Using dog whistles or provocative comments to incite conflicts about racial issues, disabilities, religious or queer issues etc.
• Asking invasive questions or speaking negatively to or about peoples’ backgrounds such as cultural, religious or ethnic issues with the goal of making someone uncomfortable or ostracised.
• Speaking negatively about or to people and asking invasive questions about their gender identity, sexual identity, mental or physical health.

1.5. Treat others with respect, even when you disagree with them.

Always report bad behaviour. Even if someone else is being provocative, disrespectful or breaking the rules, you need to be respectful. You may not name-call or break any other rules if you respond to them. If you yourself break the rules, you risk getting a warning or a time-out (TO).

If you come across a user posting hateful content please contact the Moderator inbox immediately and/or contact an Admin or support. We understand that witnessing this type of behaviour can be upsetting but we urge you to report it rather than break the rules yourself. Do not assume someone else has already reported it.

1.6. You are not allowed to harass others.

If you see any of this type of behaviour please report it to the Moderator inbox and/or the admins, do not assume someone has already done so. Speaking against bigoted, racist, queerphobic etc. is permitted, if done without following them to other topics, calling-out other users or otherwise breaking the platform's rules.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

• Continuously trying to contact a user when they have blocked you. This includes replying to their comments in forums and continuing to quote them.
• Continuously creating posts or topics about the user to talk about or to them.
• Creating and uploading images that are offensive to, for example, one’s culture, (gender) identity, sexuality and religion.
• Derogatory jokes, racial or ethnic slurs, unwelcome comments about a person’s religion, (gender) identity or sexuality.
• Negatively commenting on/or mocking a group of people or someone’s appearance, opinions or behaviour.

If you are unsure what we mean with a specific term, you can refer to the list of definitions we have posted.

1.7. NO CALL-OUT POSTS

1.7.1. Do not make posts calling out others.

You may under no circumstance create posts calling out other people in a negative, harmful, hurtful or unwanted way, this includes Staff, volunteers and other users. Constructive criticism is welcome and permitted.

By call-out posts, we mean both posts directly naming the user in question as well as posts that, whilst not naming a person, obviously refer to a specific person in a way that users are able to figure out who it is. Call-out posts are, but are not limited to:

• “I can not believe that someone made a topic about [insert subject here]! How stupid.”
• “[Insert model name], you really thought you were smart”
• Post mocking a recent topic

1.7.2. You are not allowed to share others information without consent.

Even if the information can be found online, it is not allowed to share that information without the consent of the user, staff member or volunteer in question. 

Sharing screenshots of messages, content from goMessages or content outside of goSupermodel without consent from any of our users, volunteers or staff members is strictly prohibited, especially when such sharing is intended to harm, spread negativity, or incite others to engage in harmful activities. This includes but is not limited to personal information, disrespectful remarks, or any form of harassment. Any violation of the rule will result in content removal and warning, time-out (TO), deletion or ban depending on the severity of the violation.

We want to emphasise that the culture of sharing negative loaded screenshots is not something we encourage. It can lead to the spread of negativity and harm within our community. However, if you do encounter disturbing content created by one of our users, volunteers or staff that raises your concerns please send it directly to info@watagame.com. We shall then investigate it further and take needed actions. Do not share it on any public platform including goSupermodel, as this will inevitably feed toxicity and fear, which is not to the benefit of the community.

If there is content of you that is shared online without your permission, you can request to have it removed by goSupermodel and the website the content is being shared on.

3. NO SPAMMING

Spamming includes but is not limited to:

• Making blank topics without any context, images or videos to give the topic a point.
• Sending a massive amount of messages to a user. If this happens to you, you may report the model for spamming. After, we advise you to use the block function to stop the user from messaging you altogether.
• Sending a massive amount of messages to users. Excluding if users have asked for, for example a notification for a competition, a new magazine release, birthday magazine related messages or they are clearing out their friend list.
• Posting the same or similar type of message in multiple forums.
• Creating multiple threads about the same topic (For example, three threads about "Selling my wardrobe")

3.1. Do not spam the same word or sentence in a message.

Spamming the same letter, word or sentence in one message can flood a page, be disruptive in general and to people using screen readers or people with visual impairments or sensory issues. Repeating a word or sentence up to five times is allowed. Having more of such will result with the spam content being removed or messages getting deleted. Keep in mind that this could also be disruptive to people using screen readers

For example:

• “Slay slay slay” is allowed.
• “HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAH’’ is allowed.
• “No no no no no no no no no no no no no” is not allowed.
• “I do not like this I do not like this I do not like this I do not like this I do not like this I do not like this” is not allowed.

Visual copypastas are also not allowed in any form. Text copypastas are allowed if they are in context of the topic. However, it is not allowed to keep reposting the same copypasta or spam/flood the forums with them. Emoji banners are not allowed outside of topics made for them, see more in EMOJI USE.

3.2. No begging or unsolicited advertisement in other people’s forums or inboxes.

You are allowed to send kind greetings and messages to user’s inboxes, but do so considerately and keep in mind that it may annoy others.

3.3. Do not create forums that encourage others to spam for your own gain.

This means creating topics where you say that you will gift the person who bumps or bumps the most. You are allowed to host competitions where users may interact in a rushed manner, such as “first on page xx wins”, quizzes or similar. Such competition posts are not qualified as spam, as they typically attract a lot of user engagement, it also does not fall under the 10-minute rule (see rule 3.3 below).

3.4. Do not excessively bump forums.

You must wait 10 minutes between your bump comments, even if someone else has commented in the forum. This includes bumping with your alt account(s).

What we consider as a bump:

• Commenting “bumping” or “bump”
• Commenting on the topic with just an emoji, when the emoji does not serve a purpose in the conversation
• Commenting one letter
• Other empty comments that are not meant to continue or engage in a conversation
• Bumping up topics that are several months old with the intent to spam or not add to the conversation

Continuing a conversation within the 10-minute timeframe is allowed if it is not used in a way to bump the topic indirectly. A conversation can still take place, but should not be the main reason to keep your topic on the front page if it derails the initial subject of the topic.

4. LANGUAGE

4.1. You need to write in English on the website.

You may use single words or short sentences that the majority of people recognize (such as “bonjour mademoiselle” or “gracias”). Well-known pronouns, quotations and aphorisms are also allowed, as long as their meanings are clear within the context of the topic/conversation. For the recognizable short sentences, we consider a short sentence to be up to 5 words. If the sentence is longer than that we ask that you provide a translation. Please remember that all rules still need to be followed when writing in another language.

You may also mention the name or quote a known phrase of a piece of media (films, TV-shows, songs…etc.), in another language as long as it is apparent from the context that you are speaking of a piece of media. An example would be “I really love the show La Casa de Papel” or quoting the ducks from The Aristocats in another language than English.

You are also allowed to mention the name of local dishes or ingredients, as long as the context makes it clear what you are speaking about.

For permitted terms please refer to this section on site.

Remember that this applies everywhere on the website, including goMessages, friend message boards, games and clubs.

4.3. No slurs.

It is not allowed to use any slurs to insult a specific person or a specific group of people. It is also not allowed to circumvent the rules or censored words by replacing a letter with a number or emoji. For example writing “w4ter” instead of “water" would not be allowed.

7. FORUM, GOMESSAGE AND FRIEND MESSAGE BOARD RULES

Moderators reserve the right to lock down forum discussions if they, by our discretion, get out of hand or appear to be in bad faith/purely to cause a reaction. Admins reserve the right to moderate goMessages, Friend Message Board and other sections on the platform that are not mentioned here. All rules are applicable here, and it's especially important to remember the rule to treat others with respect when posting on the forums.

If the moderators lock your topic, do not make a new one about the same thing. If you keep on making new topics about the original topic you may get a sanction. If you wonder why your topic got locked, please reach out to the Moderator Inbox with a link and information about the topic.

Note that gaining consent from the user or writing on behalf of someone else, does not give anyone permission to break the rules. For example in truthing topics or anonymous confessions.

7.1. We do not allow the discussion of the following topics (remember, we are a [PG16] website):

7.1.1. Graphic discussions of sex are not allowed outside of the 18+ forum section.

Discussing sex is allowed, but do so in a neutral and considerate manner. We do not allow unsolicited sexual comments or content. More graphic discussions (but not images) about sex can only happen in the 18+ forum category. Graphic discussions should only be held in the 18+ section if it is done in a neutral and considerate manner.

Remember  that sexting and similar activities are still not allowed anywhere on the platform and sexual conversations must remain discussed in a respectful manner, with consent and not making any remarks to other users who may find these uncomfortable or offensive.

7.1.2. Graphic descriptions of violence. 

Discussions of violence are allowed if they are not going into details of the violence. This includes, but is not limited to glorifying or joking about animal abuse, domestic abuse, sexual assault, wars and (international) conflicts. Graphic details include but are not limited to; how, when, where (for example, specific body parts, not geographical locations). Graphic details do not include for example how many people were killed, remember to use Trigger Warnings [TW] and Content Warnings [CW].

7.1.3. Encouraging or promoting the usage or selling of illegal drugs and substances. 

Discussing illegal drugs and substances is still not allowed however you can talk about policies surrounding drugs and substances and recovery from drug abuse, side effects and sharing resources to reach out for help. You are allowed to discuss medical use of drugs and substances but keep in mind the rule below about seeking and giving medical advice and that it's not allowed.

Note that Cannabis is illegal in Denmark and therefore belongs in the category of illegal drugs.

7.1.4. Recommending brands or types of medication, their usage and seeking or giving medical advice. 

You are allowed to speak about prescribed medication that you are taking and sharing your personal experiences, but not promote the medication itself. 

7.1.5. Promotion of religions and harmful ideology.

It is allowed to share your own beliefs, as long as they do not go against other rules and you are not convincing others to convert or forcing your beliefs or opinions upon others. 

7.1.6. Forcing your (political) opinion onto others.

Political discussions are allowed in moderation and must be kept civil and respectful. We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe on the website. Political views or discussions that are against the rules under the “TREAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH RESPECT” section of the rules are still not allowed to be discussed.

7.1.7. Graphic discussions or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and other triggering topics.

Discussions about these topics are allowed, if they are not going into detail and contain a trigger warning in the forum title or start of the comment (if there is no trigger warning yet).
For example, mention that you have an eating disorder without mentioning graphic details.

7.1.8. Topics stating that you are in a suicidal or mental health crisis.

Sharing these kinds of topics can be triggering to other users. goSupermodel is not a website equipped with resources to help people going through mental health crises, and we therefore have to delete content that might be triggering to others. If you are in need of help, please look into our mental health resources forum.

7.1.9. Topics about weight-loss/weight-gain and diets.

Topics about meal-prepping, healthy substitutes or sports are allowed. Topics regarding calorie counts, talk about weight in numbers, encouraging others to try a diet or excessive working out are not allowed.
You are allowed to discuss your own experiences, for example how people treat you after gaining or losing weight.
If you are looking for the rule regarding eating disorders look at rule 7.1.7. Above.

7.1.10. Sending chain messages or copypastas.

You are not allowed to send chain messages or copy pastas where it's stated that the user needs to do something in order to avoid, for example: Bad luck, get hacked or deleted.

7.1.11. Discussion about [PG18] media is only allowed within the 18+ section.

For example, TV shows, song lyrics, plays/theatre shows, comics, video games, or novels. Graphic details are still not allowed and topics should include trigger warning [TW] or content warning [CW] when necessary. GoSupermodel is a [PG16] platform.

7.2. Do not derail topics from their ongoing subject.

It is not allowed to start a completely new subject as an incentive to get rid of the previously talked about subject. This includes, but is not limited to taking over a topic to discuss something unrelated to the original or ongoing subject intentionally, as well as continuing to derail the topic after having been explained why it's an issue.

7.3 We encourage you to use tone indicators on the forums.

Find a reliable source to link resources to tone indicators and link it here or create a new list somewhere that we can link to. The use of tone indicators is not mandatory but heavily encouraged. See list of tone indicators here.

Using tone indicators helps both the moderators in determining if something is a joke or serious for sanctioning and the rest of the userbase. If you do not use tone indicators it is not a sanctionable offence.

7.4. Use trigger warnings [TW] or content warnings [CW] when you are talking about sensitive topics.

Sensitive topics can be triggering to other users. That is why it is necessary to use trigger or content warnings. For an explanation of how to use these, please see below:

• Content Warning (CW) usually indicated broader topics of concern. For example, CW: Sex toys
• Trigger Warning (TW) indicates issues of personal trauma. For example, TW: SA (Sexual assault)

The moderators may edit your title or comment to include a trigger warning if necessary. If you are making a forum game like Murder train, The Hunger Games or any other similar game please include Trigger warning or Content Warning in the original forum post if it includes any of the following

7.5. Do not make forums about locked topics.

They were locked for a reason. If the topic was not locked due to a rule break because of the subject or the first post and instead for example due to conflict, you can make a new forum post about it.

If you are unsure if you can create a new topic about it or disagree with the decision to lock the forum, or if you wish a further explanation, reach out to the Moderator Inbox. If you continue to create topics about a locked forum, you may receive a warning or time-out (TO).

7.6. You are not allowed to spread misinformation or cause harmful speculation.

You are not allowed to make topics purely to provoke people, cause harmful speculation or spread misinformation to cause distrust or uncertainty. Forums that have the potential to spread misinformation or cause harmful speculation will be locked. These topics include but are not limited to misinformation or speculation about polarising, dangerous, defamation or controversial topics.

Keep in mind that screenshots, videos or other visual material can be altered and are not always real. If there is any evidence regarding a situation within the goSupermodel team we ask you to send an email with evidence to gosupermodel@watagame.com, they will thereafter investigate the matter fully.

7.7. You are not allowed to purposely provoke people or cause a reaction.

This includes but is not limited to, discussions questioning gender identity, race, religion and disabilities/conditions in a way that opens the door for negative and harmful opinions.

• Making statements or asking questions with the intent to get a certain (negative) reaction out of people.
• Making statements or asking questions that negatively target a specific group of people or opinions.
• Contact other users when they have repeatedly asked you not to. Replying to one message does not count as provoking. Continually doing so does.

  For example, these comments are not allowed

• Is it transphobic to not date a trans person?
• What do you think of pronouns/neopronouns?
• What is your / do you have a racial preference in dating?
• Eating meat is immoral
• Do you think religion is bad?
• Does reverse racism exist?
• Is self-diagnosis valid?
• Should underage trans people be able to medically transition?
• Topics that seek to discuss the validity of queer identities.
• Do you think goSupermodel is ‘’too woke’’
• Taking away anyone's rights ‘’X people shouldn't have kids/have the right to vote’’

• Making statements or asking questions with the intent to get a certain (negative) reaction out of people. For instance “touch grass”, “get a life” etc.
• Making statements or asking questions that negatively target a specific group of people or opinions. For example “all carrots are the same” carrot being used as a filler word for a group of people or opinion.
• Contact other users when they have repeatedly asked you not to.

7.8. Emoji rules

Emojis are a fun way to give more context and tone indication to your messages. They should not be used in ways to break the rules. Therefore, emojis should not be used in the following ways:

• Using emojis to write censored words and/or messages.
• Using emojis in a sexual manner outside of the 18+ forum category.
• Using emojis to spam a forum message. ‘Emoji banners’ are only allowed in profiles, goBlogs and forum topics regarding emoji banners. They are not allowed anywhere else on-site as it forms an issue for users using screen readers or people with sensory issues.
• Using emojis to bypass any of the rules.
• Using emojis to make a topic seem like it was made by staff or a volunteer team with ill intent

7.9. Roleplay/story rules

Please bear in mind that all of the platform's rules also apply to roleplay and stories, it is not allowed to discriminate against race, sexual orientation, disabilities etc when roleplaying or adding characters.

It is not allowed to copy other’s roleplay topics or concepts and make them your own without permission from the original author of the roleplay. If you use a concept made by someone else without permission, the roleplay or story will get deleted. You are allowed to make popular and general concepts of roleplay without asking permission such as roleplaying in an actual city such as Chicago, sharing an apartment or being in a band.

When roleplaying, make sure you do not break any of the rules by getting too graphic with describing certain scenes. Keep in mind that sexual violence is not allowed, therefore graphic description of sexual assault is not allowed either. Violent scenes are allowed but should include a trigger warning (TW) at the top of the message. For roleplay or stories that are based on books or movies (for example: The Hunger Games) mentions of harm should not get too graphic. Mentions of killing a character should always include a trigger warning and should not go into full detail on how this is happening to the character.

It is not allowed to write sexual roleplays anywhere, even in the 18+ forum category.

7.10. You are not allowed to give/seek professional medical advice.

This means that you can not attempt to diagnose others with an illness or give advice on what medical decisions they need to make. These are conversations people should have with healthcare professionals.

Users who are trained professionals in the medical field can still not advise users as we have no way to confirm they are actual professionals. This is also due to the fact that every country has different rules and laws within the medical field. We recommend that a user finds medical help if they feel unwell.

You are, however, allowed to ask for tips to deal with symptoms (for example, asking people what they do to help with a migraine), as long as it’s clear that it’s not a substitute for professional medical advice or trying a drug.

8. 18+ FORUM SECTION

You must be 18 years or older to view, comment or post.

Please note that the regular goSupermodel rules also apply to this section. This means that you must respect others, not spam, speak in English, as well as follow all the other rules.

Moderators reserve the right to lock forums that seem to be in bad faith or causing more harm than good.

8.1. Remember these when using the 18+ forum section

• You must use a Trigger Warning (TW) or a Content Warning (CW) at the start of titles or comments with triggering topics. This should include the subject of the trigger warning. For example, TW: SA (Sexual assault) or CW: Sex toys

14. ALT RULES

If you have received a time-out (TO) on one of your models, it counts to all of your models. Evading a time-out in this way may result in a longer time-out.

Having up to five alts (other models besides your main account) on goSupermodel is allowed, as long as it is not abused to get a significant unfair advantage over other users or to otherwise break our rules or Terms of Use. We count only one model as a “main account”. Any other models are considered alt accounts. This means you can have up to 6 models in total. One of your alts can be considered your main alt; meaning it would be considered the alt that can, for example, be used to trade greetings to your main model.

Abuse of these rules will be dealt with according to its severity and could potentially cause a sanction on your main model.

Examples of what you are not allowed to use alternative accounts (alts) for:

• Using two or more alts to sell greetings to earn goMoney (for your main model).
• Using alts to repeat milder violations despite warnings and time-outs (TOs).

Milder violations will give the user either a warning or a time-out (TO), and are as follows:

• Using two or more alts to "farm" goCode or other campaign items.
• Using two or more alts to send greetings to yourself or others.
• Using alt(s) to circumvent the earning limits imposed by the games through either trades, auctions or gifts. For more information about game rules check rule 12. GOSUPERMODEL GAME RULES
• Using an alt to circumvent a time-out (TO).
• Using an alt to "bump" your own forum threads.
• Creating additional alts after May 12th 2023, if you already have 5 or more.
• Referring an alt in order to gain fashion points.
• To bump the price of your auctions
• Using alt(s) to buy your own magazines to “farm” fame.
• Using alt(s) to vote for yourself in competitions or buying yourself votes for any model.

You are not allowed to have more than 5 alts. Having more than 5 may lead to some or all of them to be deleted, but no punishment will be given to your main account the first time.

Use of alts that are NOT in violation of our rules:

• Posting on the forums with an alt, as long as it is not to circumvent a time-out (TO) or break the rules.
• Sending greetings/SGs to your main model(s) from one alt. Other alts must not be used for sending greetings/SGs. This alt must remain the same model unless it gets deleted.
• Playing Sketzmo (or other multiplayer games) with an alt, but never using a script, software or automation.
