This page explains what is allowed when discussing websites and research platforms in the r/HEM_NSFW community. The goal is to support helpful discussion while staying compliant with subreddit rules.
You may mention research sites when sharing your experiences or asking general questions. This includes naming platforms as part of your story or asking about their reliability.
Examples of allowed statements:
You can mention where you found an ad if it’s part of your story.
You can ask general questions about a site’s reliability, safety, or reputation.
You can share helpful insight about how a site works or what to watch for.
These types of comments are acceptable because they provide context and information without directing others to specific providers or services.
The following are not allowed:
No posting or linking to ads
No asking for or sharing contact info, numbers, or directions
No requests for local leads or providers
No encouraging others to contact or visit someone
Anything that looks like you’re helping someone connect with a provider counts as solicitation and will be removed under Rule 5.
You can talk about websites and how you use them for research. You cannot use comments to help others find or access services.
If you are unsure whether something is allowed, consider whether your comment would help someone locate or contact a provider. If the answer is yes, it should not be posted.
For a list of commonly used research platforms, see the Helpful Websites & Directories page.
