Facepunch Avatar Rules Are Too Lenient (and it's being dealt with- page 4) - General

I don't understand why people can't just google Xvideos or Rule 34 for their fetish horseshit, it only takes two clicks...

"We're banning porn avatars." "Oh that's a good step forward really, they've gotten a bit out of h-" "And we're banning porn threads." "IRRATIONAL CENSORSHIP WHAT THE FUCK" keep it classy Facepunch.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;45366078]I don't get one thing. Why are NSFW threads a problem, yet there is an entire section of the forum for DRUGS which are ILLEGAL....[/QUOTE] i can see what you're trying to say, but they're talking about drugs. what's actually bad about that? personally, i wouldn't be worried about stumbling across images of drugs whilst a work, compared to if i'd come across porn. the board itself already has somewhat moderation. even the [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1231739]main sticky gives recommended websites[/url] on how to safely handle drugs, and how to overcome addictions. dd have their own established community, what good would actually come out if the board was removed?

"IRRATIONAL CENSORSHIP WHAT THE FUCK" keep it classy Facepunch.[/QUOTE] Porn kept in one place (i.e. the threads) is fine, but having it everywhere in the form of the avatars can be weird I think is what they're trying to say.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;45366078]I don't get one thing. Why are NSFW threads a problem, yet there is an entire section of the forum for DRUGS which are ILLEGAL....[/QUOTE] Dodging the entire drug board is actually pretty easy, just don't click on it. It's tucked away in corner of the forum for a reason! However, how do you know that there might be someone who's using a NSFW avatar who posted in that video game thread?

Anybody has problem with my avatar?

Avatars are a bigger deal than the SFM section being hidden.

But Facepunch is a primarily video game focused family "friendly" forum. Why does it so desperately need porn threads? Believe it or not, there are entire websites dedicated to porn! Its true!

The point I'm making is that if we're going to close and ban those on the basis of 'it's a videogame forum and we don't need those', then by that logic the Hobbies or CC subforums should be removed too, especially when we have 2 sections that revolve around things that are technically illegal in most places. Just because it's plenty available everywhere else doesn't mean it doesn't have a right to exist here.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45366461]Jesus fuck, stop going "gg facepunch" whenever a thread has a few idiots in it.[/QUOTE] Okay. I can't remember another time where I've done that... But okay.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;45366078]I don't get one thing. Why are NSFW threads a problem, yet there is an entire section of the forum for DRUGS which are ILLEGAL....[/QUOTE] To be respectful, drugs applies to a lot of things Alcohol and tobacco are a drug and therefore are discussed often in there, weed is also a drug but in some places is decriminalised or legal but in some its not Then you got your hard drugs and shit. It's a very messy issue because you take porn away which has the potential to go sour and turn into pedo shit, but drugs can't go sour because there's no way that the potential of someone ODing from bad advice they got from someone or people posting info about their dealers or good ways to get illegal substances could ever happen? If the drug forum went poof, it'd turn into a Fast threads thread and possibly face the same fate the porn threads did It's mucky [editline]12th July 2014[/editline] There also isn't a lot of good places discussing about drugs besides reddit or 420chan, but even then you can get exposed, not saying you can't here

To be honest it should be everyones own business why, where and what you do. [QUOTE=Cone;45366339]is everyone really just that obsessed with their obscure fetish for anime girls with cat ears[/QUOTE] Yes? Is that so wrong? It's way better than most fetishes and completely harmless.

Why would you need a thread to post sfw catgirls in? If you really wanna look at it, just google search it.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45366510]Why would you need a thread to post sfw catgirls in? If you really wanna look at it, just google search it.[/QUOTE] Why would you need a section that's literally built around shitposting? You don't, you just want it. No problem with that.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45366510]Why would you need a thread to post sfw catgirls in? If you really wanna look at it, just google search it.[/QUOTE] Why would you want to talk to people you can just read comments? Maybe because this is a forum and i use it like one? Post stuff and talk about it with people who like same things. Does this sound way too weird to you?

I never visited the catgirl thread because... Well... I don't like catgirls. But was it just discussion? I figured it would have been more... Lewd.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45366543]Why not start a catgirl thread in OIFY then? [editline]12th July 2014[/editline] [B]wtf do you do in a catgirl thread anyways[/B][/QUOTE] We discuss politics and local weather of course? What else did you expect?

how do you even discuss catgirls? I can't imagine it being more than comments similar to those posted on porn websites

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45366543]Why not start a catgirl thread in OIFY then? [editline]12th July 2014[/editline] wtf do you do in a catgirl thread anyways[/QUOTE] Talk about how catgirls are superior in every way of course.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45366543]Why not start a catgirl thread in OIFY then? [/QUOTE] For the same reason I won't go tapdancing in a minefield.

I will agree that the "would you fuck the above user's avatar" thread is unquestionably the dumbest shit.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;45366571]For the same reason I won't go tapdancing in a minefield.[/QUOTE] Jesus it's not that bad. It's just 7 guys running around calling each other niggers all the time

Well I've started switching away from the more daring avatars in favor of Liquid being cool so I guess I'm not affected anymore :rolleye: And I hadn't visited the porn threads here in a shitload of time, there's Tumblr for that kind of thing Had you asked me about this a few months ago I might not have been so hot on the idea but I don't quite care one way or the other right now, hey go for it
