1. No posting anything at all or you'll be banned
that's not the case at all. general forum rules are being tightened as well and they'll be posted soon
Genevieve wrote:Is the hideout still 'NSF' with these rules?
the NSFW bit it is mainly to cover our backs of people complaining about getting into trouble at work. as well as that, links to the sort of things banned under the rules are filtered by search engines like google and yahoo and as a result will get picked up in analytics for the site and damage the forum - pushing us down search results and the like
Alright. I'm cool with it either way.

tits were never allowed but the previous rules weren't clear on it which is why i let that tits thread run, but it's been cleared up now so there aren't any grey areas in the rules
ones like blablahjah posted are alright because they're covered but actual nudes aren't allowed

uh oh
Wouldn't that apply to threads like Piston's running thread about his DJ slot?

that's a thread, not a series of threads all on the same theme

that was a good thread, could we not have a sub forum from the snh for threads like that?? like how the hip hop is under other music if you see what i mean

they would still be part of the forum and would still get picked up in google analytics
this is the internet - it's not as if there's a shortage of tits and ass a click away

a girl with a bikini on is NSFW. a photoshopped 1200x1600 jpg of a hairy dog, can also be NSFW, as some co worker seeing it casually on a screen at work wouldn't understand wtf it was.
when we didn't have NSFW tagged on this forum, we got complaints by people who were at work, saying they didn't get warned first. damned if you do, damed if you don't. contrary to what you think, there are people that discover this "sign in" only subforum for the 1st time, and to prepare them for nearly any random crap jpg's being posted in threads here, we put NSFW on the whole forum.
as far as tits, ass and everything else pornographic, we're blocking it for the primary reason that parental filtering is incredibly smart these days. so smart that, 95% of the tits & ass pics, and porn related url's that people use to "img" tag and post on this site, have been already flagged by google and yahoo servers as "21 and over" or questionable. google analytics is so sophisticated now that if you pass over a threshold of pornographic content on your site, they will bury your site in their search results. we don't want that.
we have a huge age range of people now. anywhere from 14 on up, and we don't want people not being able to access this site by being filtered out with parental control, because a few hotheaded/sexually frustrated members cannot live unless they see tits and ass on dsf.

i always hate when stuff like this happens. so bass hertz amongst others pushes some people's buttons, probably badger's buttons quite a bit it seems from an objective perspective. but all this tightening of what comes and goes is really not what I thought the SNH was about. its all in fun. in any thread i usually say my piece and then leave it be, because arguing about politics or just changing other's opinions about anything really is incredibly difficult to do over an internet forum, and you usually sound like an asshole while doing it. its just not the right setting.
censorship is really such a embarrassing thing.
if the tits and ass were such a prob they would have been fixed a long time ago dont you think? now shit is getting tightened? smells funny.
