I'm assuming the forum guidelines are talking specifically about sexually transmitted diseases. I'm sure they weren't taking into consideration a global pandemic, which is what we have right now. For better or worse, Covid has changed the world. So talking about whether someone has Covid or not technically would be against forum guidelines, but I highly doubt this is what the forum admins had in mind when they said not to discuss someone's medical condition. Whether someone has herpes or not should be confidential. Whether someone has a virus that could kill you if they coughed on you should not be confidential. Covid is killing people, and if someone or somewhere is known to have it, it should be discussed. It's a public safety matter.

SDTs, while they do not kill you (except for AIDS), are also a public safety matter, at least in the hobby world. One thing that MAY be clear is that it is pure speculation when talking about another's medical condition, and that person has to be a member on this site for a violation to occur.
Another thing to keep in mind is that ALL guidelines are mod interpreted, so therefore, it usually depends on two factors. The most important one is who is giving the opinion or statement that is an obvious GL infraction or mod can make up an unwritten infraction that results in nothing at all/warnings/points/bans. The second factor is the Eccie member the clear violation is against, which also results in mod action/inaction.
There is a reason that infractions are not made public by the staff and why the infractions are sent via PM, so you cannot share those in direct quote If you did reveal that you got an infraction (and you can), and without direct quoting of a PM, you said what you got it for and the violation is no where in the guidelines, but the staff can deny the reason and there is no way to back it up. There are no clear and real definite black and white rules on this site. If there were, lots of people that are in violation of the rules would be banned and there could not be any made up infractions to suit an agenda if a mod has a hard-on for you.
On topic, when the strip clubs do open back up once again, it does not mean it is safe, so if you want to take a chance with your life and your family and friends, go get that lap dance!
