1) Due to the adult nature of some of the stories passed around the group, all who enter must be 16 years (Europe) and 18 (USA) of age or older. (Due to the difference in the age of consent in each continent. This may also differ throughout the the rest of the world.)

This is also true of the language that sometimes pops up in email, so consider yourself warned! ;) If you do not like, or are offended by a story marked 18 (NC-17 or R) Do not read it.

2) Please do not discuss GatesGirls –GatesGirls business or
GatesGirls identities -- with those outside our group.

3) Please do not pass around any stories obtained within GatesGirls outside of its boundaries without first consulting the author. Many of our authors are new to writing and may not want their stories on the web yet. Please remember that they are sharing their stories only with fellow GatesGirls members, trusting that they will go no further.

4) Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and the opinions in the group will vary. Please remember that everyone's opinions and ideas must be respected whether you agree with them or not. If you have comments to make that MAY seem inflammatory to other members, please email that person privately.
