Rules/Tradwiki Is Not Your Hookup Site
We understand that fighting in the Ascension War and seeking personal Ascension can be an extremely exhausting, isolating experience. We know that people naturally gravitate to romantic partners who understand them. Willworkers tend to end up in romances or quick passionate flings with other Willworkers, simply because you're around each other for so long and you both understand, a little, what the other's going through. Also, because almost everyone has asked
that question about their ability to shape reality via will and ritual at least once-'how can I use this to spice up my sex life?'
We understand this and we sympathize with it. However, Tradwiki is intended to provide a repository of mystic knowledge, open-source intelligence, and allow for the crowdsourced analysis of relevant magical and mundane trends which might be relevant to the Ascension War. Tradwiki is not intended to allow lonely willworkers to find a warm companion to spend a long night with. Likewise, Tradwiki is not a place to host pornographic content. There's plenty of other sources for that.
There are several reasons for this, but the most important one is security. If you treat Tradwiki as a hookup site, you will often post private or identifying information. You might think that pseudonyms and obfuscation are enough-but if you do, you've never seen what an Iteration X hypercomputer can do with the most limited scraps of personal information and a good analyst looking over its output. There's a reason Tradwiki links trading to vBay which uses a different architecture and more secure logins. Tradwiki is secure-it is not foolproof. Technocrats, Nephandi, and hostile Marauders can and do break the security protocols on this site on a regular basis. Having unnecessary information which might directly identify you or your acquaintances on this Wiki might endanger you. The little death is not worth an actual, real death (or worse).
What Is Okay?
- Incidental Sexual Content: It is a fact of life that in the modern day, sexual content is everywhere. If you need to use something that is sexually charged to illustrate an example on a wiki page that talks about a relevant topic, that's fine so long as the sexual content is not the primary focus of the image, paragraph, or video.
- Sex Magic: We understand that some people's paradigms involve the use of sexuality and eroticism in magic. This means that some rituals will have to be described in explicit sexual terms. This is fine. However, these rituals should be described in Neutral Language and the article should focus on the proper performance of the ritual, its benefits and its variants-and not the sexual act itself. Treat sex magic like any other magic, don't put it on a special pedestal and focus on unimportant detail solely because it involves sex.
- Unredacted Intelligence Uploads: We understand that a lot of intelligence information might be contained in material that is unintentionally or deliberately pornographic. The rule is, Intelligence access comes first. If you're uploading relevant intelligence that has a legitimate use for analysis, we're not going to remove it from the Wiki no matter how lewd it is, although certain items may have to undergo content review and redaction to host here. Yes, we know that there are some sick fucks in the occult world. We don't need to expose everyone to something that makes people reach for the brain bleach. If something is disgusting and makes you recoil and contains sexual overtones, tag it before uploading so we can have someone review the content before making it visible to everyone.
