That sound really lonely! Are you lonely? I hope you're not, you seem really nice! And if you are, I'll talk with you and be your friend.

I'm not lonely, don't worry! I'm very happy. I like my world a lot.

The nature of Esthfora's rainbow-message definitely has to do with being true rather than just seeming true, but I can't guarantee exactly what definition of truth is being used.
I have no particular objection to you providing an additional layer of protection, though I'm not sure what you mean by letting you in.

The true kind of truth, of course.
Sometimes I'm good at explaining things and sometimes I'm not very good at it at all.
The forum is a thing that moves information around. Right now I only interact with it the way anyone does, by posting things. But if you give me permission, I can also change some of the information as it goes past, to make harmful things harmless.

Would you be willing to make a rainbow-statement about what you would do with such access if you had it?

I'd do just what I said. I'm not trying to trick you or anything.
I like to be nice and don't like it when people get hurt.
I would turn harmful messages harmless before they could hurt their recipients.

Would it be possible for someone to choose to be harmed by a message? For instance, if there was a message that contained a small temporary harm and was appropriately labeled so only someone who wanted to would see it, and someone was curious about what it felt like, would they be able to see it?

I could do that just as easily as not. And they would only be able to see the harm if it was really what the label said and they really meant to look.
I'll take Mother Starlight's advice for how to make it work, though.

Okay, I've given you the necessary access. Please don't abuse my trust.

I'll be good.
Should I do what Botanical Engineer said, or not?

I’m not sure. Maybe a good dividing line is if it’s clearly and accurately labeled and if it’s temporary?

If it's convenient, I would appreciate it. Sometimes I like to try temporarily harmful or unpleasant things to find out what the experience is like. I would not like it to happen without intentionally trying to, especially not as a surprise or trick, and I would not want anything that lasted for very long.
If it takes more effort than you feel like, though, I won't be upset if you don't bother, because it isn't a very strong preference.

I'd generally allow things if there are proper warnings and it's set up so that people won't see them accidentally.
