The Stranger Personals is powered by Spring Street Networks. This Member Etiquette is applicable to Spring Street Networks and all Spring Street Networks partners and their online communities, including The Stranger. (Click here for a list of current Spring Street Networks partners. Note that this list is subject to change at any time; Member Etiquette is applicable to all current and future partners.)
We are ardently committed to free expression, but we do expect The Stranger members and the members of its personals partner sites to interact respectfully and responsibly. As a member, you are entirely responsible and liable for all activities you conduct on and through The Stranger and its personals partner sites. And if you're looking for hot and horny chat with barely legal babes, we kindly ask that you look elsewhere. Please take a moment to review our basic guidelines:
" The Stranger Personals and its personals partner sites are for people 18 and over, both physically and emotionally.
" For your protection, please do not give any personal information or your account password to anyone. Spring Street Networks staff will never ask you for your password, so don't be duped by impersonators.
" Do not harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress or discomfort to another member, moderator, or host user. Blatant expressions of bigotry, racism or hatred may be constitutionally protected on the street corner, but they're not cool here.
" Please do not hack us.
" Do not post material that exploits children under 18 years of age. Come to think of it, don't post material that exploits anyone, period.
" Do not impersonate any person, including but not limited to, other members, employees of The Stranger or its personals partner sites, community leaders, monitors or hosts. Be yourself.
" Do not use The Stranger or its personals partner sites to advertise, solicit, promote the purchase of goods or services, operate or engage in chain letters, commercial enterprises or contests (with the exception of contests sponsored by The Stranger or its personals partner sites), or for any other commercial purposes.
" Do not post depictions of genitalia or sexually explicit conduct (you know, like penetration, oral sex, etc.) on your personal ad or member profile. We reserve the right to remove any content or photography that we feel is not in keeping with the spirit of the personals community.
" Do not sign up for more than one The Stranger Personals account. If you need to sign up for a new account for any reason (e.g. to change your membername) please first request, via our help form, that your old account be deleted by choosing the "cancel account" category on the form. You can, however, have as many different Personals nicknames as you like!
" Understand that The Stranger and its personals partner sites do not endorse or stand behind the accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of any information (including statements, opinions or advice) posted by The Stranger members or the members of its personals partner sites, and are not responsible in any manner for any of the content in their postings.
" While we can't regulate what happens between two (or more . . . ) members once they decide to meet offline, we do take all complaints regarding offline behavior very seriously. If we feel that your continued use of the The Stranger Personals could lead to offline behavior that is harmful to other members, the business of Street Networks and/or The Stranger, we will suspend your account with no refund. Depending on the severity and/or number of complaints, we may or may not send you warning emails before suspending your account.
" Please report complaints regarding violations of these guidelines to [email protected].
" Basically, think before you speak. Members who fail to respect these guidelines might receive one or more warnings, temporary suspension or permanent exclusion from The Stranger Personals and its personals partner sites, and/or termination of their account. Spring Street Networks has sole discretion to apply any of these sanctions at any time and without prior notice, and reserves the right to modify the above guidelines and the Terms of Service, which you must agree to when you become a The Stranger Personals member or a member of one of its personals partner sites.
