Community Rules & Disclaimer

1. HBM is for 18 and above. By registering, you confirm that you are a legal adult in the country you reside.

2. HBM admins, moderators, service providers, and associates are not liable for any content posted by members.

3. Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and pedophilia content is strictly prohibited. Any content sexualizing minors — including images, text, or links — will result in immediate and permanent account deletion with no warnings. This may also be reported to the relevant authorities.

4. Posting pictures: Exercise discretion when posting images — especially those depicting excessive violence or graphic sexual content, including paraphilias (bestiality, necrophilia, etc.). 1st offense: warning. 2nd offense: automatic account deletion.

5. For questionable eligibility of pictures for certain topics, please ask any of the moderators.

6. Offensive and foul language is not allowed. Symbols may be used to replace letters, but excessive use of such words is considered abuse and will prompt disciplinary action. 1st offense: warning. 2nd offense: automatic account deletion.

7. Spamming will not be tolerated. Useless messages will be deleted without hesitation.

8. Warnings will be sent via private message. Failure to respond within 1 week will be treated as a 2nd offense, and the moderators reserve the right to act as they see fit.

9. Moderators can delete posts without prior explanation.

10. HBM reserves the right to modify, change, or delete any of the conditions stated in this disclaimer — with or without prior notification to members.

11. Please don't be an asshole by destroying the site.

This Disclaimer is stated as-is and is not subject to free interpretation. Members may contact HBM Admins, Moderators, or the Service Provider for inquiries. Inquiries not relevant to the procedures outlined above will receive no response.
