+Please consider these to be a rough idea of the general implementation of them. They will likely change as the nature of the site changes. I will note any additions specifically when they are made. I may in future depending on whether it goes well, use github for a change log of sorts, so users can see whats going on.
+This is mainly to appease the API gods.
+
+### Terms of Service
+You are not required to police yourself to the point of walking on eggshells, but you are required to try to fit in with others here. 
+Do not post any gore or overtly sexual content, there are plenty of other sites for that. 
+Flagrant abuse of the rules or nature of the forum is an instant ban.
+Politics within individual tags is allowed, so long as it is relevant to the tag, even then, please refrain from inserting it into the threads constantly, or start a new thread on the specific issue. 
+
+### Privacy Policy
+Your email may be used by me as a means of contacting you regarding the site, ie password issues, account issues etc. 
+Otherwise I will not use the email for non-forum related things, and 
+In the event of a data breach I will reach out to any affected users as soon as I am aware. If made aware I will react withing 48 hours (I work full time so i cant guarantee a 'to the minute' response)
+
+You are ultimately your best privacy advocate, try not to try too much IRL stuff to your accounts, here or otherwise.
+
+#### TL;DR
+Try to keep posts within the style of the existing users. Do not gore post or be overly antagonistic to the point of disrupting the site.
+I will do my best as a single person to make sure your data is secure, any users over 2 years of inactivity will be deleted, although I shall try to reach out beforehand.
+
+this may be rewritten in more legalese in future, for now I'm just working on the login APIs
