Porn

Postby drawscore » Mon Dec 28, 2015 7:35 pm

In the past day or so, I've noticed that several pictures/videos were removed, or the links removed by the moderators, due to, shall we say, "inappropriate content."

Just a reminder that this site is hosted in the US, and laws regarding pornography are more stringent here, than they are in other countries. What might get a stern look in Europe or Asia, can result in a visit from men in dark suits here. They will be from the government, and they won't be there to help you.

Only if the video or images are of children under the age of 18...

Other than that, the legal status of pornography is really up in the air in the United States and has never been truly settled. Men in dark suits aren't going to be coming to your door for posting a link to something on a website like this. It's simply the admin's decision to not allow it.

I don't remember who said it - I think it was a supreme court justice several decades ago: "I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it."

We all have our own ideas of what constitutes porn, but in this case, it's the mods' definitions that count. From some of the stuff I've seen allowed, I would venture a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess) that it was pretty bad.

But the original statement stands: Porn laws in the US are more stringent than in other countries. Even if children are not involved.

What follows is a personal opinion and, if anyone doesn't think it's an appropriate stance for an admin of this site, I suggest that they get me removed.

We have members ranging in age from young teenagers to old farts like me.
In the light of that, I shall remove any links that lead to pictures of full-frontal male or female nudity, any pictures clearly indicating that the gentleman involved is certainly not unhappy with his predicament, and any picture of naked persons who are sufficiently obliging as to scratch their companion's itch for them.

All these have been removed in the last two weeks.

Agreed. The link I pulled had full breast views. Knowing we have teenagers and children here, we must remove such links.

You guys saying you never looked at porn as a teen? Doubt it.

I'm not complaining or trying to be a smart alec, just making an observation.

I'm not jumping on you. I'm just saying that I don't want his site endangered.
If people want to watch unclad gentlemen pumping all their blood to their lower abdominal appendages or attractive naked ladies trying to wipe their companions' intimate parts in the most caring manner, that there are other sites where people can see it. Just not this one!

As I said: if you consider my attitude to be inappropriate, ask zanev to remove me and I will willingly step down rather than support the sort of site that might result without it.


Personal opinion:
I'm sorry you're "not in a great mood tonight" but deal with it and don't take it out on those of us who try to look after this site.
I hope you're in a better mood now.

Apologies for being rude last night, I just tend to speak my mind when I'm pissed off...

Again, I apologise.

I've always been curious as to why PG17 stories are allowed, but not links to videos or pictures. Would the stance on pornography be changed if there was an 18+ section specifically for those types of pictures, or is it simply to keep the integrity of the site towards writing and stories rather than pictures and videos?

Another thought, would illustrations that are PG17 in nature be allowed within a story if they actually related to that story?

Random thoughts :)

That would also be a big NO-NO.

this site is the most adult site I ever looked at. Or at least regularly. Porn just never really did it for me.

I for one like how the admins are running this site. As previously stated, this forum caters to all age groups, and I think it's important that it maintains a relatively appropriate environment that is suitable for the younger users.
If you want actual pornography, lord knows the rest of the internet has got you covered.
