MxRP is hosted and developed by The Waterfall Collective, a part of The Overseer Project. MxRP forms its own division within the group.   What We Stand For Inclusion - Our primary goal is to create an inclusive and tolerant space for roleplayers of all stripes to discover and create fictional interactions and narratives with one another. Privacy - We are committed to maintaining the privacy and anonymity of all members of our community so that they may express themselves through fictional interaction without censure. We will never sell or distribute the information you provide to the website in any way, shape, or form. Freedom - We believe in freedom of expression in roleplay interactions that are written with the intent of embracing a fictional stance, setting or character. Protection - We will strive to create tools so that our users may protect themselves from bullying and harassment that takes place out of character or through roleplays where the primary intention, to the best of our ability to determine, appears to be to cause other users harm or grief. Control – Group chat moderators have the right to run their chats as they see fit, as long as the chat does not violate the ToS content policy. Chat moderators are responsible for dealing with any problems that occur within their chats that violate chat rules. We will not interfere in personal disagreements or chat moderation, unless they extend beyond the scope of a chat moderator or individual users' ability to block access to an individual or group they are experiencing a problem with (e.g. if a user circumvents a ban placed by the chat moderators, they may be banned from the site itself.)   Legal Information These TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and MxRP with respect to your use of the Service (MxRP) and MxRP’s sites and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and MxRP with respect to MxRP’s sites. No delay or failure on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy. No waiver whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the party to be charged, and then only to the extent therein set forth. The ToS and the relationship between you and MxRP, and all disputes arising out of or related to it shall be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and MxRP agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within The United Kingdom and to waive any objection to the laying of the venue there. MxRP's failure to enforce any part of the ToS will not waive MxRP's ability to enforce it, and any waiver with regard to a specific instance shall not constitute a waiver of any other breaches of the ToS, even with regard to the same user. If any portion of these ToS is deemed unenforceable, unlawful or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that portion of the ToS will be deemed severable and will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining portions of this ToS. If any provision of the ToS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you agree that the court should give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision and that the other provisions of the ToS remain in full force and effect.

Repeat: we do not own your Content. Nothing in this agreement changes that in any way. Running MxRP, however, requires us to make copies, and backup copies, on servers that may be located anywhere around the world. You agree that we can make those copies and show your Content to other people, subject to your privacy settings. Specifically, by submitting Content, you grant MxRP a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to make your Content available. "Making available" includes distributing, reproducing, performing, displaying, compiling, and modifying or adapting. Modifying and adapting here refer strictly to how your work is displayed—not how it is written, drawn, or otherwise created. But because your Content may be transmitted over various networks, we may have to make changes to the formatting or display of your Content in order to adapt to the technical requirements of different networks or devices. Multimedia content may not display properly on all devices. In some circumstances, we may make changes to improve accessibility. For example, we may automatically convert HTML tags to our standard forms (e.g., changing "bold" HTML to "strong"). Or we may make special provisions for accessibility, such as allowing you to use non-standard fonts but also providing an alternate format for those who cannot read such fonts. We may use an internal search engine whose results display relevant snippets from your Content. You acknowledge and agree that MxRP may preserve Content and may disclose Content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: comply with legal process. enforce the ToS. respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties. or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of MxRP services' users and the public.   Content Policy In general, MxRP seeks to provide users with tools to regulate their own exposure and access to content as well as means to block users and content that make them uncomfortable. Content filters and word filters exist for character search. Content filters and privacy settings exist for group chats.   Content Filters There are four content filter options as described below.   <ul> <li>SFW - Safe For Work. Roleplays in this category should be appropriate for all ages and not include graphic violence, sexual content, or subject matter aimed at mature audiences.</li> <li>NSFW-V - Not Safe For Work - Violence - Roleplays in this category may contain graphic depictions of violence, provided it is not of a sexual nature. Subject matter aimed at a mature audience is also permitted in this tag, provided it is not of a sexual nature. (edited)</li> <li>NSFW-S - Not Safe For Work - Sexual - Roleplays in this category may contain graphic descriptions of sexual content, provided they are not violent. The sexual content should follow SSC (Safe Sane Consensual) rules and all characters should be over the age of 18. Common fetishes are allowed. These include: BDSM, anthro, enthusiastic consent, petplay, and anything of comparable tameness.</li> <li>NSFW-E - Not Safe For Work - Extreme - Roleplays in this category may contain graphic descriptions of sexual content with full freedom of expression. Controversial characters, situations, and descriptions are allowed.</li> </ul>   All users must use content filters appropriately both to shield themselves from content they do not wish to see and mark their own content so that only those who wish to encounter it will see it. Repeated use of the incorrect content filter may result in warnings, suspensions or bans from the website. Entering a content filter to harass other users for roleplaying content a user finds unpalatable may result in suspensions or bans from the website. Some words and phrases commonly used by spammers and griefers have been blacklisted from the website, but with these exceptions, content is not screened. Complaints will be investigated if submitted through the support center with all necessary information.   Permitted and Prohibited Chat Content The content and moderation of group chats is the exclusive province of the chat owners and moderators. MxRP will not interfere in how a group chat is run except in specific cases: Chats should be centered around either in character or out of character discussion of roleplaying. Other chats may be permitted to remain, provided they do not violate the terms of service, but should not be listed publicly in the group chats listing. Chats that are designed to promote bullying, hate, prejudice, criminal activity, or self-harm are not permitted on the website. Chats that are designed to distribute information about fans and members of the community are not permitted. Chats that exist to promote commercial services are not permitted. Chats that are not permitted under the terms of service may be terminated and creators and participants may be suspended or banned.   How We Handle Abuse Reports When a ticket is sent into the support center, it is assigned to a member of the support team. If allegations are made that require further investigation, the support team member may either request this from the user submitting the report, or if necessary, go on the main MxRP website to speak with those involved, review chat logs, and gather any other information as necessary to determine whether the Terms of Service have been violated and how to proceed. We cannot accept screenshots as evidence of abuse, nor can we accept reports about sites other than MxRP. A user submitting a report should provide as much information as possible in order to expedite the process of reviewing the case. Relevant information can include the user numbers of all parties involved in a dispute, links to chat logs that show evidence of behavior that is against the TOS, and usernames of the parties involved, if such evidence is known. Within technical limitations, we will not discuss cases or distribute information about them to parties not involved in them. We will not violate the privacy of users by looking at Private Messages (PMs) or chats and groups marked at the highest security setting unless it is absolutely necessary to make a determination about a case. Abuse reports are discussed among staff to make the best determination of how to handle them and to make sure that all are in agreement with the measures taken. During the investigation process, support team members will keep a record of the dispute and this record will be regularly audited to ensure that the process was handled in a fair and judicious manner.
