Welcome to Bay Area Furs Telegram group, an open-discussion group for furs who live in or have an interest in the California Bay Area, local meetups and conventions.
Invite Link:
https://telegram.me/BayFurs Expectations here are simple:
* Members must be 16 years
of age or older.
* Be kind to others
This is a very friendly chat
group, treat others kindly
and with respect even if
you disagree. Group hug!!!
* Welcome everyone
If the individual isn't
apparently furry or local, still be
welcoming. Some might be curious
but shy about are wonderful fandom -
and weren't we all at some point?
* NO CALLOUTS!
This isn't Twitter. Please don't treat
this group like it is. If you have a problem
or concern regarding someone in
the chat, please address them in
private to one of the admins and
we will address it. Do not create
drama in the chat that we will have
to spend time cleaning up.
* Keep NSFW chat to minimum
Many other chat groups
are for sexy chat. This
is not a hard rule, you're
welcome to discuss any topic
but please keep it on a serious
level. NSFW groups can get
very noisy and silly quickly
and this group is supposed to
be your work-safe sanctuary from
that.
* Refrain from NSFW images or photos
Again, there are other
Bay Area-related groups for
this. Literally, an endless buffet
of sausage pics to feast. This group
is a work-safe alternate — as in,
you should feel safe to have
Telegram open on your work desktop
or at Starbucks.
* Assume we're working here
We're furries here, we've seen
all the porns. Generally refrain
from posting anything that
depicts sex but we can expect
occasional links to cause a
sexy (GASP!) pic to show up on
the timeline. If you're on
Telegram from work, you should
disable pic/video and link
previews anyway.
* Don't be spammy
Avoid that a trend where someone
posts series of videos or stickers,
others start posting them,
and soon the timeline is stickers
and vidclips for miles and miles..?
Please be creative and expressive,
and just keep the noise down. We
get enough of that on other groups.
Thank you so much, you are awesome!
* NSFW stickers are a never, please
The NSFW rules is stricter for
stickers, for obvious reasons.
If you accidentally post one,
please delete it or an admin
will have to delete it when
they can. We've seen them all
(hell, we probably HAVE them all)
but they're not kind to anyone
who works. I know you can do it,
we're all counting on you!
* Artists are welcome to share
If you're an artist and want
want to share work that include
artistic nudity, please do warn
the group ahead but this is
generally fine. Also welcome
artists soliciting commissions
but non-local artists joining
groups just to solicit is very
icky (it's happened).
* No Politics
We are talking a break from
political chat.
The main goal is to keep the tone of the group friendly. Admins have some godly tools to deal with any issue that can including wiping a troll's entire spam history off the group in a couple clicks.
