• You must be aged 18 or older to use THP.
• All posted content must abide by US law.
• Posts must be in English save for things like discussions of translations or original sources.

• Do not post stories or other creative content written by other people or misrepresent the ownership of a work.
• No spam or advertisements of any sort.

• Refrain from personal attacks, purposefully inflammatory comments or trolling.

These rules apply to both this website and any official extension of the community such as the Discord or Matrix chat. Those other services may have their own additional rules but the rules on this page apply across all official THP channels. A ban from one location may result in a ban from all other locations.

Discretion is used by the moderation staff to apply the rules and keep a healthy community.

For purposes of intellectual property or copyright, every post or story belongs to its author. THP makes no claims of ownership nor does it endorse any and all views possibly expressed therein. THP acts as an open platform that allows users to self-publish. It is up to the poster if they wish to post their content or derivatives elsewhere in whole or in modified form.

No permission is given without the explicit consent of either THP or the original submitter and author of a post (if applicable) for the usage of material found on THP for building, training, testing, executing or in any other way utilizing or interacting with a large language model or "AI". This prohibition covers any and all purpose that includes creating generative content. Further, no permission is given for use or republication of the content of the website, with or without attribution, under any license, without previous agreement by and the explicit consent of either THP or the author of a post.

Be aware that, unless a post violates the rules or US law, posts or stories will not be removed from the site.

New rules or alterations to existing ones may be made as deemed necessary as the above is not intended as an exhaustive list.
