Hello everyone.

Recently, we banned and purge a member from the community. This person committed illicit (illegal) acts against a few members, who were minors at the time of the incident. We will be monitoring the permabanned member to ensure they do not return. However, I would like to ask all of you a favor.

Please avoid sending pictures/photos of any part of your body to other members, both on and off the site.

This is not strictly against the rules (yet) but we advise against sending stuff as such. We don't want another incident like this again. In fact, stuff like this can get the police involved and we do not want law enforcement getting involved in the community. Here at Paint, we admins and moderators take the privacy of our members (especially minors) seriously. Should a member (especially adults) solicit (ask for) inappropriate material of another member, we will take swift action and ban the perpetrator from the community. I know some people who are manipulative and can be persistent. Whatever you do, don't fall for it. That's how the suspect manage to get pictures/photos from other members. NEVER send them anything.

Also, please avoid asking other members for pictures/photos of themselves. Doing so is asking to be permabanned from the community.

One last thing, if you feel like a member has asked/keeps asking you for inappropriate pictures/photos of yourself, please reach out to an admin or me. As I've said, we admins and moderators take privacy seriously. You can trust us. It's our job to keep the community in order.
