Just a brief reminder that while we enjoy community, connections, and friendship, DLS is still not a hangout thread.
Additionally, there's been a lot of unnecessary drama behind the scenes that has been brought to our attention as well, so keep yourselves safe and let us know if anything is amiss.
Sending love your way. heart

Hey, everyone!
We're posting a disclosure here due to recent events happening.
First: REMINDER! This is the only DLS thread on Gaia that is moderated. There is another old one that is still active, but we do not monitor or have anything to do with that. If you post there, we can't do anything about drama or people seeing your posts.
Secondly: If you know people are going to stalk your posts or be weird, or they suddenly get weird, please block them and let the Moderators know so we can ban them from the thread. We can only do so much in keeping people from seeing your posts, especially if we aren't aware.
Thirdly: Consider utilizing the DLS Discord. Rain & Misa both screen anyone who enters to make sure they're not banned from this thread/not going to cause drama/they're vetted. It is more private and quiet in the Discord, and people cannot stalk your posts there like they can on Gaia via mules.
Take care, be safe, and reach out whenever necessary.

Hey you guys!
This is just a minor update to bring clarity as the question has been asked a couple of times:
This is the only DLS thread that is actively moderated/does not permit drama. Any other DLS thread is either one from the far past, or one that people (who have been banned from this one) have taken over for their own purposes. As you can see, Rain and I are still quite active and try to handle any concerns/issues that arise here. For further clarification, we always have the "announcement (insert date)" part in our thread title. cat_3nodding
Hope everyone has had a kind start to the year! Wishing everyone the best!

Hiya DLS! Just wanted to give everyone a quick reminder that if you don't have your PMs set up properly to allow us to PM you back, we cannot reply to what you send us!

Good Morning DLS! I'd like to issue a reminder for a couple of rules!
1. We've had a lot of problems lately with others responding to a fellow dlser's post. We understand that you may want to show support, but it does break rule number 3 If you'd like to show your support, leave them a crush tag comment! Or send them a PM.
2. Another issue we've been noticing is the amount of vague posting increasing. To avoid bringing ANY drama into the thread, negative vague posting is not allowed.
If you are seen doing any of these things, we will issue you a warning.In addition, if you see anyone else doing these things, or think we missed something, please don't hesitate to message a moderator directly or Faceophilia-2

Hey ya'll~!
This announcement isn't coming as a fun one, but it needs to be made.
From this point on: all touchy subjects and NSFW posts absolutely, 100%, must be put in spoilers AND/OR white font.
With Tumblr turning into a SFW zone, and the deletion of the Spank and Lap threads, we don't know what Gaia might be hitting next, and we want to keep this place as safe as possible for you who decide to remain on here.
We also have a private guild if that interests you as well. And as always, there is our Discord.
Please continue to follow Gaia's TOS and our own rules here, Rain and I appreciate it all.

Hey guys!
As of today, I'm officially stepping down as head mod. My life is picking up speed and I no longer have the amount of time to devote to thread and the community that I think you all deserve. I joined ModSquad nearly two years ago to help with the mass clean-up that at the time was necessary to keep the community running and to ensure that our regulars had somewhere they could vent and be comfortable. I think that we succeeded in that at least, and now I am comfortable passing that torch onto our current moderators. I would just like to say that I am always available through our DLS discord, or PM should anyone need my attention or help.
Misanthropic Majesty has been selected as our new Head Moderator, so please treat her with the same respect that you had both myself and Gabs these past few years.
Be good everyone, and please to keep DLS the wonderful Gaian Gem that is has been for all these years.
Lots of love,
Moro
