	<span style="color:#27ae60;"><span style="font-size:24px;">Indicators to break contact:</span></span>
</p>

<p>
	MINORS
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		The relationship becomes sexual upon, or right before, reaching the age of consent.
	</li>
	<li>
		The relationship becomes sexual overtime
	</li>
	<li>
		Adults (above the age of 18 years old) befriending minors (below the age of 18 years old) without a direct conversation of boundaries within the relationship set by the adult.
	</li>
	<li>
		They may describe you as “mature” or an “old soul”.
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	PHYSICAL SAFETY:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		Repetitive offers of gifts and/or money, even if the recipient exclaims the need for such items.
	</li>
	<li>
		Pressuring the user to contact them outside of the use of the site. (Discord, email, phone).
	</li>
	<li>
		Repetitively suggesting/pressuring to meet in-person.
	</li>
	<li>
		Pressuring for personal information (e.g. location, appearance of apartment, school)
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	MISTREATMENT AND THREATS TO MAINTAIN SECRECY:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		Not respecting stated boundaries and continuing to do anything that another user has expressed makes them uncomfortable.
	</li>
	<li>
		Emotionally blackmailing the victim (e.g. threatening to commit suicide if you end the relationship, or use your secrets to force you to stay silent.)
	</li>
	<li>
		Encouraging the recipient to dislike, shun another user, and/or attempting to isolate you from your friends (e.g. “they make fun of you behind your back”)
	</li>
	<li>
		Refusing to disclose other friendships they maintain on the site
	</li>
	<li>
		A shift of relationship dynamics and/or refusing to engage on the public forum
	</li>
	<li>
		Pressuring to keep the level of intimacy or the entire relationship secret from others
	</li>
	<li>
		When confronting issues within the relationship, you might feel gaslit and begin to doubt your perception of previous interactions
	</li>
	<li>
		Lashing out and/or ignoring you after a conflict
	</li>
	<li>
		Denying or refusing to address the conflict
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	SUSPICIOUS INDICATORS ( FETISHISTS SPECIFICALLY TARGETING THE ED-COMMUNITY):
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		Requesting/pressuring for images or "harmless" selfies (e.g bodychecks - clothed or nude)
	</li>
	<li>
		Requesting/pressuring for sexual images, videos, text, or other sexual content.
	</li>
	<li>
		Being sent unsolicited images, or playing a “game” finding thinspo for one another.
	</li>
	<li>
		They may ask questions about your body (e.g. ask for you to describe how it shifts with weight loss and gain, if you are happy with your breasts)
	</li>
	<li>
		They may ask persistent questions about your bowel movements (laxitive use), purging frequency or specific body parts (e.g. belly button)
	</li>
	<li>
		Encouragement to use substances/alcohol or other situations where impulse control is inhibited (e.g. manic/psychotic) during interactions
	</li>
	<li>
		Despairing comments and/or suggesting/encouraging purging, restricting or cutting (e.g. when I feel bad, I cut)
	</li>
</ul>

	<span style="font-size:24px;">YES!</span>
</p>

<p style="margin-left:40px;">
	We recommend COMPLETELY wiping your accounts by e-mailing Vertical Scope directly at info@verticalscope.com.
</p>

<p style="margin-left:40px;">
	IF YOU CHOOSE TO KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT WE RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO HELP PROTECT YOURSELF:
</p>

<ol>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Change your e-mail to an account that does not include your legal name, school or institution.
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Remove any indications or references to location (including geo-locational screenshots of hiking trials, etc).
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Remove any images outside the household, images that include windows, doors, or other household items that are identifiable from the outside.
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Remove any social media links, user handles, phone numbers and e-mails.
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Remove any images of your face, identifiable tattoos and scars, etc.
	</li>
</ol>

<p style="margin-left:40px;">
	Annea has refused to purge member's accounts and content previously so there is no guaranty that she will comply with requests. Unfortunately, manually editing your posts of any personal information may not completely remove your posts as "editing changes" are saved in the database due to the base software. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS MAY BE BREAKING ATTACHMENTS (ie: images and files).
</p>

<p style="margin-left:40px;">
	The best I can recommend is:
</p>

<ol>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Change your e-mail to an account that does not include your legal name, school or institution.
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Edit all information from posts you wish to not be publicly visible anymore
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Break all attachments
	</li>
	<li style="margin-left:40px;">
		Request for account deletion
	</li>
</ol>
