Terms of Service & Community Rules

Last updated: May 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering an account on Somnium, you agree to these terms and our community rules. If you do not agree, please do not use this site. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time — continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.

2. Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to register an account. You must be at least 18 years old to enable NSFW content. By checking the age confirmation box during registration or enabling NSFW content in settings, you confirm that you meet the relevant age requirement. Somnium cannot independently verify ages — responsibility for truthful confirmation rests with the user.

3. Content Rules
The following content is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate permanent ban, removal of all content, and where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities:
  • Any sexual content involving minors (characters under 18). This is a zero-tolerance rule with no exceptions.
  • Content that sexualizes real, identifiable people without their consent.
  • Content that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates real-world violence, self-harm, or suicide.
  • Hate speech targeting any person or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, or national origin.
  • Harassment, doxxing, or targeted threats toward other members.
  • Spam, phishing, or malicious links.

NSFW content (adult themes, sexual content between adult characters) is permitted in NSFW-flagged threads for members who have opted in and confirmed they are 18+.

4. Community Guidelines
  • Be respectful. Treat other members with basic courtesy, even when you disagree.
  • Separate IC from OOC. What happens in a roleplay thread is fiction. Don't take in-character actions personally.
  • Communicate. If you need to step away from a thread, let your writing partner know. Ghost-dropping threads is discouraged.
  • Tag your content. Mark threads as NSFW if they contain adult themes. Use the private toggle if you don't want your thread publicly visible.
  • Respect boundaries. If another member asks you to stop contacting them, stop.
5. User Content

You retain ownership of any creative writing you post on Somnium. By posting, you grant Somnium a non-exclusive license to display your content on the site. We do not claim ownership of your writing or characters.

You are responsible for any content you post. Somnium is not liable for user-generated content.

6. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently ban any account that violates these rules, at our sole discretion. Serious violations (prohibited content, harassment, threats) will result in immediate permanent bans without warning.

7. Disclaimer

Somnium is a fan-run creative writing community. We are not a commercial platform. The site is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. We are not responsible for data loss, service interruptions, or any damages arising from use of the site.

8. Contact

If you witness a rule violation, please contact the admin directly via the messaging system. For urgent concerns (prohibited content involving minors), contact us immediately.

By using Somnium, you agree to these terms. ♡
