Shifti does not yet have a very well defined set of policies. The only particularly rigid one so far is Shifti:Copyrights, which is pretty much just what's legally mandated.
Social environment
This site will maintain a friendly atmosphere. Critiques should be constructive, and one should not go out of one's way to give them unless explicitly invited. Shifti's sysops may use tools such as temporary edit locks and user bans to enforce this if things get out of control, but please, try not to let it get that far.
Content
This site is intended primarily for publishing shapeshifting-themed fiction. It will also support other activities and archives related to this, including but not limited to
- In-progress works
- Collaborative editing
- Lists of and links to other shapeshifting-related resources
- Commentary, essays, and reviews of other material on this subject.
Hosting is not guaranteed. It is possible that it may prove necessary for sysops to delete some content or pages if they stray too far from Shifti's indented subject area. This will hopefully be a last resort, though.
"Adult" content
If you post adult content please give some indication at the top of the page. Shifti doesn't yet have specific policies about what constitutes "adult" content so for now please use common sense; it generally means explicit sex scenes, explicit violence, and other such graphic material. There is a template available to mark such pages (Template:XXX) and it should also be placed in the Adult category. Any adult stories found not filed in the Adult category may be moved there by the administrators.
Illegal content such as paedophilia (including euphemisms such as "cub sex") will be removed when discovered and the user posting such content may be banned. We don't pre-screen edits, however, so we can't guarantee that a reader won't find unexpected surprises.
Images
We're still working out what the image upload policy for Shifti will be, but one thing that Shifti is definitely not intended as is an image gallery. There are already several other major image hosting sites that are friendly toward or specialize in transformation images.
