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

[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;45370246]This is a family-friendly forum after all, we should instead discuss family-friendly videogames like [b]Rust[/b] or Club Penguin.[/QUOTE] There's actually a valid point here - isn't Rust a game with full frontal nudity? It's worth asking why pornography (and borderline pornography) should be banned on a forum for a game containing nudity

[QUOTE=Zeke129;45370529]There's actually a valid point here - isn't Rust a game with full frontal nudity? It's worth asking why pornography (and borderline pornography) should be banned on a forum for a game containing nudity[/QUOTE] There's a difference between porn and men naked in survival situations.

because you can't just let some of these weird people have free reign on the porn they post because inevitably you'll get furry, pony, anime, or child porn posted so it's better to just say "how about get porn somewhere else" than ban specific kinds of porn? That makes sense right? facepunch dot com is not the sole place on the internet where porn is found and I'm sure you people know that better than some of us. Stick to there, spare the rest of us...

why is pornography banned when i see myself nude on a daily basis??? ponder that for a moment if you will

It's worth asking why pornography (and borderline pornography) should be banned on a forum for a game containing nudity[/QUOTE] idk if you're being serious or just dumb on purpose but just in case people have totally forgotten why this was even done: [QUOTE=Rusty100;45364523]Okay, here's the situation: We shouldn't have to monitor porn dump threads in case of vile/illegal/immoral content. Remember that all the fast threads porn dumps were 200+ pages. We shouldn't have to browse through porn every day just in case somebody posts something despicable. Knowing facepunch, most porn dump threads will always slowly turn sour. So we are now making a blanket rule of 'No porn dump threads'. While Hot Girls wasn't technically anything illegal or immoral, a general rule against all porn dump threads saves us from the worst of the worst. There's no need to make a complicated rule that would allow Hot Girls and not Furry Dog Loli porn, because at the end of the day, we don't want to be porn moderators. This forum isn't for porn, you can get it elsewhere. Getting rid of Hot Girls means also getting rid of the foul stuff under the same big blanket rule. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a small loss for a big gain. You can find hot girls on other websites. So after moderator deliberation and no objections, I've closed Hot Girls and catgirls. Do not make any more porn dump threads. It is for the best. Because porn dump threads will always attract a bad crowd.[/QUOTE] The issue was never shielding children from naked women, the issue was they don't want to deal with moderating porn to filter out bad/illegal shit because we're not a fucking porn site. Go to pornhub or something.

Was a dogs ass with sunglasses not the default avatar at some point ?

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;45370159]So wait, I'm a little confused. Obviously posting loli and shit isn't allowed, but can you still debate it? Like, whether or not lolicon is fine (in a not-FP context), if it makes you a pedo, or if it should be legal or not, etc.[/QUOTE] So we can hear the same tired arguments argued by the same self-declared pedophiles on FP?

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45370267]Okay, someone made a new porn thread in fast threads [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1408925[/url][/QUOTE] first picture even broke the old rules of no hardcore porn/erect penises, well done [QUOTE=Mister Sandman;45370159]So wait, I'm a little confused. Obviously posting loli and shit isn't allowed, but can you still debate it? Like, whether or not lolicon is fine (in a not-FP context), if it makes you a pedo, or if it should be legal or not, etc.[/QUOTE] we all know the whole "victimless crime" argument for loli but we're not going to debate whether it's allowed here on the forum. posting it is bannable. Discussing that whole legality side of things is fine because hey it's a discussion on morality/legality/whatever (though those arguments just show who's way too into some things). Treat it like we treat warez- if we don't know about it and it's not on the forum, nobody cares. The extra bit in my post about reporting is because we've had some serious creeps before and if something goes down, we'll do what we deem necessary beyond removing from the forum. That's how we've always operated, but I want to make it clear that the ice is thin on the topic as a whole and we shouldn't allow people to push that boundary at all.

Go to pornhub or something.[/QUOTE] I was referring mostly to avatars, closing threads like that because of the risk of child porn going unseen by moderators is absolutely valid and a smart move. I just think people complaining about borderline pornographic avatars is kind of silly since you basically see dick right away when you fire up Rust. It's not like illegal content will go unseen in avatars, the person can be banned rather quickly since it'll be attached to every post they make.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45370267]Okay, someone made a new porn thread in fast threads [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1408925[/url][/QUOTE] people please keep your porn threads off of facepunch and go to a porn site it really doesn't belong here. God damn. This isn't furaffinity / pornhub / reddit

That being said, I think this thread should be locked. Everything that needs to be said has been said, left are pointlessarguments

[QUOTE=dai;45357795]The mods have been discussing this and related issues for the past two days and we're sorting out a number of issues that we've been lax on. You guys have PROBABLY noticed the 'what turns you on thread' was wiped the other day. > anyone who remakes that one or similar NSFW threads that have been closed will be [B]permabanned[/B]. You should understand when a thread is closed it's for a reason, there's no autolocks. > the 'hot girls' thread and anything similar is currently being discussed. They're clearly marked NSFW and are full of legal content, [I]but[/I] there's other implications we may have to consider in it being accessible on our website and we may need to tighten policy.

FP should not a safe haven for this kind of shit. I've already warned the catgirls thread to just flat out avoid anything that could be misconstrued as such, '1000 year old witch' excuses or not. > NSFW avatars are going to be dealt with much more strictly once we've got a consensus on the line to cross (and maybe some old forum functions) set up. > we don't care how upset you are that an avatar has anime or a furry getting blown up like a balloon in it. If it's NSFW, report the user. If it only hurts your fragile sensibilities go cry a river somewhere else instead of derailing threads to bitch about it This is the warning to clean up before [i]we[/i] do.[/QUOTE] What about Craptasket's avatar though as far as I can tell that's a pixelated goatse inside of the mouth or whatever [editline]a[/editline] [QUOTE=Limed00d;45371342]Look again.[/QUOTE] Holy shit you replied before the page loaded damn

I did enjoy the "What turns you on the most" thread. :(

Go to pornhub or something.[/QUOTE] Being the mod to have to wade through all that porn would suck. Just think about this guys. You gotta go through the weirdest boner thread, yeah you get normal people tits, but you also get dragon tits, dog tits, monster tits, misshapen tits, mutant tits, tit tits, inanimate object tits, and other horrifying varieties of tits. Do you [i]really[/i] want to be the dude who has to look at all those freaky tits?

What about some of the stuff in the DeviantArt Appreciation Station?

[QUOTE=nerdster409;45371520]What about some of the stuff in the DeviantArt Appreciation Station?[/QUOTE] It's more of a "look at this idiot" thread rather than a porn dumb thread. Although, I do find the thread creepy and weird.
