Secondary Survivors, AKA Vicarious Victors, are permitted to access certain portions of the board. Certain sections will not be visible to this member group for privacy reasons. Secondaries must be approved by the survivor they are supporting if said survivor is a member of ViS.

Minors are approved on a case by case basis. All minor members must be sponsored by a moderator. The minor's sponsor is responsible for moderating the minor's posts and mentoring them on proper etiquette and age appropriate interactions. A minor's mentor is effectively their guardian on ViS and may decide if the minor member may or may not have contact with certain members or access to specific sections of the forums. These decisions are made individually.
