ID Check Policies
ID check policies for NSFW/18+ communities, groups, and channels
ID is NOT a default or preferred form of age verification.
Staff will ask for ID when it is necessary for the age verification process.
a. Staff reserve the right to request photo ID along with a picture of you for the following reasons:
1. For additional age verification measures when you join our 18+ communities.
2. If at any time we have come to the conclusion that you might be underage.
3. If at any time we have come to the conclusion or otherwise suspect that you are lying or have lied to staff about your age.
4. To investigate reports of you potentially being underage.
i. We only accept and investigate underage reports of users who have admitted to being underage or having lied about their age during their time within our 18+ communities.
5. If at any time staff witness you admitting to being underage anywhere within our network, to someone else in pm, or having it in your account bio.
ID Check Procedures
NOTE: This is not a form of age verification. We only want to see ID upon request.
1. We only accept a photo ID for verification that has your DOB on it.
2. Along with your photo ID we also request a selfie pic of you to compare you to the photo on the ID.
3. Producing a piece of paper with your display name/username and the date could be a plus when taking/submitting these pics. Staff might request this by default or something else to be written on the paper and for you to make a hand gesture in the selfie (i.e. making a peace sign, point to the cam, touch your nose, or make a face).
4. We would ask that you blur any sensitive information from the ID such as real name, address, SS#, and anything else that can be identifiable. All we need to see is your face and your DOB.
i . We encourage you to use the secret chat features and set a self destruct timer to the messages within it or set the pictures you send within a normal PM to self destruct after a set time of being viewed.
Please do not set images as 1 view or under 30 seconds. We need to be able to compare your face to the ID.
Regardless of your use of these features staff are trained to delete the pics for both parties in the conversation once they have successfully verified the pic and ID match.
Refusal or failure to to show a valid ID, giving us trouble about having to show your ID for verification, or not following the ID check policies as stated on this page will result in a network-wide ban, you will be marked and deemed a suspected minor, and your next verification will be made much harder than the initial one even if you changed your mind about this process and request.
In some rare instances we may ask that you get on a voice call and turn on your camera to them present your ID and show your face if we suspect you might try to use someone else's ID and pictures.
What do you do with ID's after they are verified?
Staff are trained to delete any message that contain sensitive information, including photos of ID's, after verification. They might ask the chat member to delete it themselves (and make sure to check "delete for both participants") for extra peace of mind.
We do not store any ID's or face pics anywhere for any reason.
Since staff deal with this sensitive information they are bound by an NDA that states they are to protect the information shared with them and delete it once they are done with their verification.
Failure to do so will result in legal action from Lucid Creations Media and they assume legal liability and responsibility for not properly protecting such data and information.

We evaluate each incident on a case by case basis. If a member is found to have breached any rules, terms, or standard of the community then appropriate action will be taken based on the severity. Potential actions staff may take for such breaches may include a verbal warning from a moderator, a warning from our bot, temporary or permanent restrictions from using certain features inside the groups (embedded links, sending media like; videos, music, and pictures, sending stickers & gifs, etc), and a temporary or permanent ban.
An automatic escalation of consequences will likely be considered and used if you receive 3 warns in a short time frame regardless of the severity of a single offense or accumulative offense(s). Note that warns are forgiven after continued good behavior. The timeline for the removal of any warn is based on the rule, severity of offense against the rule, and if any warns preceding it.
Staff will not discuss disciplinary actions in public under any circumstances and will not discuss it in private with any person(s) who aren't directly involved. Disciplinary actions can be appealed using our appeal form or by contacting any staff member.

Staff are only permitted to publicly disclose the following information about disciplinary actions: the rule, policy, guideline, or community standard the person broke, if the person received any prior disciplinary actions, if the person was in any probationary period prior to actions taken, if the person was banned or kicked before, and how long a ban set for. Any other information will not be disclosed.
