1. Consent is Everything
We can't stress this enough. The kink community has long understood that consent is the line between BDSM and abuse. On KNKI:
- Ask before you act. Don't send explicit content without confirming it's welcome. Don't assume someone's profile means they want to hear your fantasies.
- Respect "no" immediately. When someone declines, stop. Don't push, don't negotiate, don't try to change their mind.
- Consent can be withdrawn. Someone agreeing to chat doesn't mean they've agreed to anything else. Check in as conversations evolve.
- Titles are earned, not assumed. Don't call someone "slave" or expect to be called "Master" without establishing that dynamic first.
2. Communication Standards
What's Welcome
- Open, honest discussion about kinks and interests
- Respectful disagreement and different perspectives
- Questions asked in good faith, even about sensitive topics
- Sharing experiences and advice
- Constructive feedback and community building
What's Not Allowed
- Harassment, threats, or intimidation
- Unsolicited explicit messages or images
- Hate speech based on race, gender, orientation, etc.
- Doxxing or sharing others' personal information
- Spam, scams, or commercial solicitation
- Impersonating other users or public figures
3. Privacy and Discretion
Many people in our community keep their kink lives separate from their vanilla lives—for personal, professional, or safety reasons. Respect this absolutely.
Privacy Rules
- Never "out" anyone. Don't share that you saw someone on KNKI, even if you know them in real life.
- Don't screenshot private conversations to share elsewhere without explicit permission.
- Respect anonymity choices. If someone uses a scene name rather than their real name, don't try to find out their identity.
- Keep what happens here, here. Community discussions and shared experiences stay within the community.
4. Profile and Content Standards
Your Profile
- Must represent a real adult (18+) person
- Photos should be of yourself (face photos not required)
- No copyrighted images or photos of others without permission
- Be honest about your experience level and what you're seeking
Content You Share
- All people in photos must be consenting adults
- Mark explicit content appropriately
- No illegal content of any kind
- No content involving minors in any context
5. Meeting In Person
When connections move from online to offline, additional considerations apply:
- Verify before you meet. Video chat, exchange social media, or use other verification methods.
- Meet publicly first. A coffee shop or munch is appropriate; their house is not.
- Tell someone. Let a trusted friend know where you're going and when to expect you back.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
Our Role in Your Safety
KNKI provides tools for connection, but we can't verify everything users tell you or guarantee anyone's behavior offline. Use the safety resources we provide and your own judgment. Report concerning behavior so we can protect the community.
6. Enforcement
We take guideline violations seriously. How we respond depends on the nature and severity of the violation:
Minor Violations
Warning + guidance on appropriate behavior
Repeated/Moderate
Temporary suspension (duration varies)
Severe Violations
Permanent ban + possible legal referral
Zero tolerance applies to: Non-consensual behavior, content involving minors, doxxing, credible threats of violence, and severe harassment. These result in immediate permanent removal.
