I notice that a post of mine has been archived to where it's only visible to staff. I know why, after I've read a topic on here.

But I wanted to ask if anything will happen to my ability to access the site (if there are warnings on me, if I'll be banned or something)
I was also having an OCD crisis when I posted that, it was impulsive and fear-driven, and I apologise. Also the situation is currently being sorted with the people involved.

Hi there Lyle,

Appreciate you checking! You're not banned or restricted! We close posts if they do not abide by our User Guidelines. This is both for your safety, that of the community, and our own. We know slip ups can happen so at this point your access is not limited. You go way back with us without any issue. In the transition from being a minor to being a legal adult there's often a new opportunity for learning about how to engage online in topics of sex. Here's an article about that in case it's helpful: The age of consent... for what, exactly?

Our rule of thumb is that we restrict accounts after three instances of misuse. Please refer to our User Guidelines & Privacy Policy to ensure that you are aware of appropriate usage of our site moving forward.

Hi lilikoi,

thank you so much for this answer. I'm glad to hear that.
The article was helpful indeed and I've also read the user guidelines.
Scarleteen has been a safe space for me for a while now and it'll keep being one. Thank you for all you do and how well you handle this site.
