    Default Reminder of the Rules

    This forum is operated by Grooby as it has been for many years. We're a company, who spends a lot of money producing trans content in the aim of making a profit. This forum is a marketing conduit to our product, but we also recognise it as a resource to all fans of trans porn therefore don't limit the talk, or the uploads to just our content.
    As a company which has to constantly fight content piracy, we recognise that there is a need for some content to be shown on platforms like this, but if it becomes a destination for spank material only, then it's purpose becomes more blurry as it takes potential sales away from those whose content is being shown. Most members are able to respect those guidelines, and show content to display their likes, or to make their point without it becoming abusive. A few members abuse this, and it ends up with complete threads being deleted.

    If you never buy porn but rely on this site and other free sites for your spank material, then you're leech and worthless here. Your opinion is meaningless, you have no rights or say in anything. Most people here spend some on erotica whether it's our sites, sites we promote or directly from models via fans or clips sites. Thank you for helping keep this site running, and keep content production going. This forum has been running for almost 20 years because of you, and the members that came before you. It is the only real surviving forum for fans of trans porn. You owe the leeches nothing.

    Since we took over this forum (I think about 15 years ago) we've always tried to have a light hand, within reason and we have member moderators who take care of a lot of things. We have some hard rules, and some rules that we can be a little more flexible with, however recently we've seen a glut of stolen content start to get shown in the format of video clips, or multiple clips from the same video scene. If we see these posted, we're going to delete the whole thread. Not only is this someone's copyright, that's not what this forum is for.

    Rules updated Sept 2020


    1. Absolutely no links to any tube sites or stolen content sites.
    2. No advertising unless you're either a Grooby model who is promoting her own site, clips store or fan site or you've paid for the advertising (contact admin@grooby.com) - or came to an arrangement as an affiliate with us.
    3. No affiliate links. No links to free affiliate sites. No signature links unless it's personal sites.
    4. You can show up to 12 images from any one scene. No more on subsequent posts. No cum shots. Images may not be cropped and must have original logos. These should be uploaded only to this site.
    5. Short gifs or video clips up to 20 seconds can be shown. No cum shots. Original logos and only one per scene.
    6. Absolutely no providing personal details on a model, no links to her personal/private pages unless they're using her stage name.
    7. No misgendering of any type. Trans women are she/her, Trans men are he/him. It's not open for debate.
    8. No derogatory terms of any type. No racist terms. No referring to models as 'sluts', 'bitches', 'whores' or the like unless the model has specifically stated that.
    9. No telephone numbers, links or any type of escort review because of SESTA rules https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_E...raffickers_Act which could result in our company or this site being closed.
    10. Any Religion or Politics to that forum only Keep it out of the main channel.
    11. Absolutely nothing to do with children (incl. animation), animals, scat, blood or rape (including simulated).



    Other than that, use this forum for what it's intended for - the discussion of trans women in erotica or adult entertainment as well as the wider view. Learn, educate, enjoy and entertain.

    Serious question: why no cum shots?

    Because that, as they say, is the "money shot" of a photo series and if 11 shots of the photo series are posted + the cum shot a lot of people would not be interested in spending anything on the full set or the site.

    Sorry... Instagram handle would break rule 6? Many times Instagram or Twitter are used as means to promote themselves. Just wondering.

    Not if the page is under the stage name:
    no links to her personal/private pages unless they're using her stage name

    First of all thanks for letting back on the forum after my suspension. I have a genuine question which may have been part of my downfall along with posting pictures too often and clogging up the pages. I genuinely want to know so I don’t start off on the wrong foot and you have to spend time deleting my posts.


    I understand the rules around pictures for other sites clearly and not advertising escorts, etc.


    My questions regarding the Instagram and twitter accounts. A lot of my posts had links to the girl’s accounts. In reading the rules again this is my understanding and if I have it wrong please put me on the right track.


    Using a fake models name for reference, a models stage name is Davina Moonshine but her real name is Rachael Spring. It is okay to post a picture and link from her stage name account but you should not post a link or picture from real name account.


    What about models that are not affiliated to any site or stage name but are in the main stream media say like Janet Mock, Jamie Clayton, Kayla Autumn Ward, Trace Lysette, etc. Can you post pictures and links to their Instagram and twitter accounts?

    Paperplane - the issue is to do with the sheer amount you post and how it affects the forum, and does it bring any worth?
    Logging in to see a whole page of your updated model photos, each for a different model - and none of them really any names, or that anyone really cares about. It's just names and photos - it doesn't bring much value to the members of the forum, and it devalues it by making it harder to find the topics that people are wanting to see. Also, did you get permission from any of those individuals to use their content? Just because someone is on social media it doesn't mean they want all their photos ripping and showing there.

    If you want to create a 'Paperplane's Fave Models' or something and keep your posts to there, I think it's more appropriate but to keep updating, or posting new models with IG type photos isn't in the spirit of this site which is aimed at the adult trans industry.

    And another thing, please don't post the same pictures in multiple topics. Please pick one and post it there. It's frustrating enough to see a massive dump of photos in multiple topics simultaneously, but it's even more irritating when you try to scroll through and see the same pictures in multiple places. For example, if a girl posts herself in a shiny outfit, nobody needs to see it in a topic specifically devoted to her and the Shiny T-girls topic. Put it in one or the other, not both.
