+===What counts as a screamer/shock site?===
+Screamers and shock sites generally have one major requirement: '''There must be a bait-and-switch element'''. This might be a peaceful video of a [[K-fee commercials|car driving down a mountain]], a video game where the player does '''not''' expect to get jumpscared, for example a game where the player gets scared [[Black or White|upon winning]], [[Simon_Says|upon losing]], or otherwise randomly. A video game where a [[wikipedia:Five_Nights_at_Freddy's|person expects to]] [[wikipedia:Resident_Evil|get jumpscared]] would not get count. Same goes with horror movies. As for shock sites, they also must meet this element. A video of a weird fetish or a gore video does not count since while indeed shocking, the viewer watching expects to see it.
+Exclusively with screamers, as we wish to archive and document as many as possible, we do allow screamers where the player is expecting to get scared (for example a screamer named "scary pop up" or a video with "jumpscare warning" but otherwise meets the bait-and-switch definition above).
