Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They don't need a strip search to see you have a spoon in your underwear with the scanners they use these days. They can tell what kind of genitals you have in your underwear and which way it's tucked (at least they are technically capable of showing that, they might have pulled back from that due to the backlash about how much they could see). Spoon in the underwear is a specific signal to let authorities know someone is being trafficked and can apply to sex trafficking or kids being brought to countries where they can be married off into an arranged marriage. Not sure how it would work if the parents want to emigrate to Russia. Also not sure how thoroughly they block the arranged marriage thing if both parents are on board.
