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

still worth reading it for shits and giggles tho

Never thought this would happen to facepunch. I guess too many young users coming for Rust discussion. Btw, what is considered too much NSFW for an avatar now?

[QUOTE=Gorm;45372466]No, at this point it's a dumb circle jerk.[/QUOTE] then why bother posting and pointing it out instead of just not reading the thread

[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. [current mod vote is[B] in favor [/B]of removal- we're pretty sure you can find porn on at least one other website] > if it becomes clear you're a pedo posting loli or whatever you're going to be [B]removed and potentially reported[/B] regardless of the "victimless crime" arguments. 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]

[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;45372482] Btw, what is considered too much NSFW for an avatar now?[/QUOTE] AFAIK the mods are still discussing that.

[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;45372482]Never thought this would happen to facepunch. I guess too many young users coming for Rust discussion. Btw, what is considered too much NSFW for an avatar now?[/QUOTE] Would you show it to your parents?

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;45372493]then why bother posting and pointing it out instead of just not reading the thread[/QUOTE] To express his opinion?

[QUOTE=Kidd;45372517]Would you show it to your parents?[/QUOTE] So anything related to anime at all is considered NSFW.

[QUOTE=Keychain;45372529]So anything related to anime at all is considered NSFW.[/QUOTE] Sacrifices must be made

Now i can browse facepunch while waiting outside without fearing of nsfw content avatar popping up! Living in a conservative country sure do suck though.

[QUOTE=Kidd;45372517]Would you show it to your parents?[/QUOTE] That is subjective to each person. Wouldn't work as a rule.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;45372493]then why bother posting and pointing it out instead of just not reading the thread[/QUOTE] I like how this always happens. Someone points out that the thread devolved into a lower standard and then is replied with a "why bother posting" statement. The reason I pointed it out is because I find it fucking annoying and to express that I do indeed find it annoying.

I'm not disagreeing, everything that needs to be said has already been said, but you can just click Mark Unread and ignore this instead of telling everyone how you feel about their posting

Because I would rather people get back to the topic to further discuss what should happen instead of what is currently happening?

I'm all for the censorship of avatars if it means I can go a single day on this website without seeing a cartoon technicolor horse in a sportsbra or bending over and showing me her grundle. I don't even mind the gay furry shit, that I can put up with. I just want to go a single day on the internet without seeing some person choose to have rainbow dash's cunt represent them.

I'm pretty happy to see avatars finally going to be regulated, they were getting way over the top and rather uncomfortable. Especially since they would show up in any thread, not just when browsing NSFW areas. I'm a bit sad to see the comfortable weird porn thread go, i have to go back to filtering through far more dubious content now, although I can see why. But it's nice to see it an even no more porn dumps in general, since it was a little irritating when it was just us getting shut down. That's a fair rule with all the younger users coming into the site these days

So, how about this? - Avatars showing nudity are banneable. - Avatars showing sexual activity are banneable. - Avatars showing extremely suggestive stuff (Close up of cameltoe, stuff like that) are banneable. [B]- Edit -[/B] Also, when the mods change the rules, how are they gonna inform everyone? Using PMs doesn't sounds very effective. Maybe put up a "New rules regarding avatars and NSFW content" page the next time you enter Facepunch?

[QUOTE=Keychain;45372529]So anything related to anime at all is considered NSFW.[/QUOTE] get better parents my dad caught me and my sister watching madoka together at 2am once, said 'cool' and went back to bed

Probably cried himself to sleep too

maybe, when he came to visit I didn't put my figmas away. Mum thought they were cute but he didn't make any comment.

he steals your anime from your pc when you're away, he's embarassed

My parents watched evangelion when I was a toddler Hell my sister watched madoka before I did. My family has better taste than I do.

Weird...every time someone walks in my room they ask, "What are you watching? Hentai?". I'm always like, "No, that is just somebody's avatar.".

[QUOTE=Kidd;45372825]Weird...every time someone walks in my room they ask, "What are you watching? Hentai?". I'm always like, "No, that is just somebody's avatar.".[/QUOTE] Do people often walk in on you when you are watching that? You make it seem so casual. "Are you watching Hentai son?" "Yeah, I'll be done in a second Mom." "Alright, see you later at dinner son."

I really like the idea of having these avatars bannable. When these avatars are allowed to exist, the whole practice of labeling your thread NSFW becomes absolutely pointless.

[QUOTE=Kidd;45372517]Would you show it to your parents?[/QUOTE] I bought a print of my avatar so I'm safe. They didn't really care. They were more interested in the Retro Duo I got from the same place because they could play Chrono Trigger on it.
