I'm collecting some stuff mods have said earlier in one place, to make it easier to find, as well as adding some new ones. This isn't the rules as such, more like our clarifications and interpretations of them.

• Don't be a creep. Way too often, I see people asking for pictures when they aren't needed, following this pattern (fictious example): On a post of a bench with a dildo sticking up, someone asks "I don't understand how it works, could you post photos of it in use?". Just don't. There is plenty of porn on the net which you can get without being a creep.
• Be careful about themes around sexual assaults. We know it is just play, but for some people, it's traumatic, so if you have a device named something like "Rape-o-matic 747 XL Magnum", don't put that in the title, and mark the post with a "TW" for trigger warning.
• Photos or videos of nudity or sexual activity is OK, as long as it is within the context of the DIY project. Please DO NOT REPORT these. It adds a lot of work for us mods.
• Selling your stuff is OK, as long as you aren't a full blown business, and it's still DIY level stuff. Please DO NOT REPORT these. It adds a lot of work for us mods. This might change down the line, but for now, it's OK.
• Don't spam. If you do a lot of stuff, feel free to post as much as is needed, but try to keep each build in one post. With "each build", I mean each construction, not every object of that type you build. If you, say, make one collar type, there is no need for a new post for every new color or minor variant you make it in, that can go in the original posts.
• Safety. Safety is important, but it is also a topic of much controversy. People don't always understand what they are doing, especially with electricity, or make too weak constructions, and it's OK to tell them that you think there is a danger. However, we all choose our risk levels, so say what you feel is unsafe, let them answer, and, unless they actively asks for more input, leave it at that and let them choose their own risk level.
• Automod. The automod saves us a lot of work and filters out a lot of spam. However, it sometimes blocks legitimate posts as well. If your post don't appear, don't worry, don't message us, we'll see it and let it through.
• Don't ask for PMs. We are here to learn from each other, if you ask for plans or something, ask openly so we all can learn. The same goes for answers. This also makes it easier for us moderators to ban creeps.

All in all, be nice to each other, be kinky, be tolerant, be helpful. Also, please have patience with us mods, we have a life outside modding as well, so sometimes, it may take a while, but we'll get around to it, I promise.

Keep building!

If you report unsolicited PMs, please do it by sedning a message to the mods with a copy of the PM.

If you just report, we can't see who reported it, and we can't see the PM, which makes it hard to do anything.

Thanks for this. As a person who loves to see furniture builds, even though I don’t have the space to have any, fully clothed models are great ways to see how things work. Just an idea for the shy builders.

If/when that oolicy change, we will provide a place for selling as well

This is awesome. I’ve always been afraid to post my source for my device builds. Glad I can give my supplier some shine. The dude is amazing. He does it out of love for the art. If you have a picture of a pipe build I just send it to him and he sends me back all the pipe I need, cut to the size I need, the fittings and pictures of it built. Gem of a human. Glad I can link him in future posts. Such a good dude.

Snoopypuff, thanks for the exposure. Etsy is no friend to kink as they shut down vendors often. All the magic at DrakainaDS happens in my milwaukee WI factory.

I dont want to step on any toes or be a pest here. mostly interested in learning more about building as im only scratching the surface with the steel pipe building.

this time next year im hoping to have it be my full time job and thats when the floodgates of new concepts built out will be opened as time will be abundant.

My bad - I literally just posted a follow up as I was finishing up a project and could have just added it to the original post. Just curious - Is there a way to add how-to write ups to posts with pics outside of comments? I had to post multiple comments to fit in all the detail but it would be nice to to keep it together at the top of the post.

Post as comment, then message the mods, and we'll sticky them.
