Disclaimers
The Federation Database has written multiple disclaimers for a verity of modern topics that may impact how our site functions and interacts with the wider internet.
A.I. Generated Art
Recently, there has been a huge influx in the creation of A.I. art, which uses publicly available images to train A.I. models to produce images. This is a highly controversial subject, with many sides to consider. The Federation Database's current stance is that A.I. art is useful in some circumstances, but if a real artist is available, then that is preferable. As of now, there are several A.I. generated or assisted images within the database. If you find/create a better image, please contact the Master Admin Here, with the subject line reading “replacement art for [page name]”. The Federation Database is always willing to adapt to the current standards, and if you believe that art is being used here without an artist's prior approval, please contact us.
Modern Politics
We, as a website, have made a conscious decision to maintain a focus on our core content and purpose, and, as such, have chosen not to actively engage in discussions surrounding modern politics. Our goal is to provide a space that encourages a diverse range of perspectives and interests without becoming a platform for divisive political discourse. This decision is not a reflection of any particular stance or bias, but rather a commitment to fostering a community that prioritizes the core themes and topics that define our platform. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to explore the various non-political aspects of our content. If you want to discuss modern politics, please consider posting on another website.
Sexual Content
Being a website on the internet, there will almost certainly come a point where sexual content is created and/or posted on or about this website and its contents. The Federation Database has decided to maintain a content policy that excludes any form of sexual content. This decision is rooted in our commitment to creating an environment that is accessible and comfortable for a broad audience. Our goal is to provide a space that is free from explicit or adult material, ensuring a positive and inclusive experience for all users, regardless of age or personal preferences. This decision is not intended to convey judgment or bias, but rather to define the type of content that aligns with the values and guidelines we've established for our platform. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a respectful and welcoming online community.
You can create sexual content about the Federation Database, as we have no control over what you create. However, posting it in any way or form on the Federation Database's forum or affiliate websites1 is subject to a harsh penalty, and can include warnings or bans, depending on the type and severity of the content posted.
Sexual content on our website refers to material that includes explicit depictions, descriptions, or discussions of sexual activities, nudity, or adult themes. This encompasses, but is not limited to, explicit images, videos, or written content intended to stimulate or arouse. Our definition of sexual content also extends to discussions or representations of adult-oriented products, services, or activities. We are committed to maintaining a content environment that is accessible and comfortable for a broad audience, and therefore, we strictly adhere to guidelines that exclude explicit or adult material. This definition serves as a guide for our users and content contributors to ensure that our platform remains in compliance with our content policies and the values we uphold.
If you find sexual content, inform an administrator immediately.
