[QUOTE=Tsanummy;46281735]What was wrong with the rule of thumb of not clicking on NWS threads if you aren't into that stuff? (like me, I have never participated in one) I mean, in an imageboard it is understandable since it pops up in the frontpage, but on a forum you just don't click and that's it. Porn avatars I do agree with you, it should be specified what is not allowed so that everyone is happy. But banning porn threads, NWS threads and other kind of topics... I don't see the benefit of that at all, except that the people that participated into them are going to leak that content in other threads, in their avatars, profiles, etc.. Containment threads aren't that bad IMO.[/QUOTE] you should really read the thread because that's not the point

The funny thing is, i don't think there was more than maybe one case [i]ever[/i] of actual animal porn in WTYO.

Could I mention to people talking about how the thread is innocent / to leave them alone, etc., that within one day three people were banned for content that breaks the rules of the thread; one of the posts was even a permaban and contained content that's illegal in the UK. [editline]20th October 2014[/editline] And this is [I]while they were being scrutinised[/I] by the entire forum and the whole mod team. Can you imagine the shit that went on before?
[QUOTE=Rinfect;46281893]its still basically a porn thread [editline]20th October 2014[/editline] its best to purge it[/QUOTE] At least for me it isnt a porn thread, nsfw content is very rarely posted because its really not wanted, most of the people who lurk it would rather have them accumulated in one place instead of having to trawl through danbooru and pixiv to find crap, and half of that is lewd anyway. I'd be all for nuking it as well if it spawned a no tolerance version, but tbh I honestly think its already there Also changing my vote to no because as sad as Ill be with hot guys gone, it doesn't have a place on the forums.

But that doesnt make any sense then? What on earth constitutes normal porn? The rules that hot girls had before? Well that doesn't really work, it'll be hard to enforce and just garner more complaining.

I don't think it will matter much since the vote is already pretty clearly on that side, but I would like to swap my vote to a No. It's become increasingly clear over the last few days that the weird shit isn't staying in just that thread, the mods don't want to mod it, and following this discussion there's been far too much immaturity from users for me to be willing to support it. Especially with the amount of dubious material being posted since the debate started. This should have been a time to clean up the thread not make it worse. There is no compromise to be had as neither side is willing. The drama won't go away even if it sticks around and I think at this point it's better to just say good bye and be done with it, other wise there will just be another poll and wave of drama in a month or two. I hope to see another poll soon on removing porn in general, or if nothing else at least proper regulation on NSFW avatars. Then this could honestly be called a clean site to visit.

[editline]19th October 2014[/editline] Mostly by the same people[/QUOTE] You may be right, but I, and alot of other people who have been cordial earlier on in the thread before it turned into essentially an anti furry fest, don't think such threads have any place on the forums. There are many other aggregate websites for pornography in general and specific, and having facepunch host them is kinda weird. If you absolutely honestly want to have a fetish showcase available on the forums, there is one in the form of DAAS, and you get to laugh along with the bad art with none the wiser. And the final consideration is the moderators. I sure as hell would not browse porn threads to filter illegal/creepy content even if paid, and i'm sure neither do the moderators.
I accidentally voted yes but I don't feel like PMing oops

Literally only rule for the thread was "You're walking on very thin ice with loli" Most things in that thread aren't black and white when it comes to age. And all of a sudden "did you know that according to canon that robot you posted is actually designed to be a 16 y/o?" became enough reason to perma-ban people.

[QUOTE=mn_chaos;46282193] What on earth constitutes normal porn?[/QUOTE] How do you people keep saying this? normal is social norms, I shouldn't have to explain further then that.

It's dumb. Plain and simple. Dumb. It's fine if you want the thread out of here. That's fine. That's your opinion. But using [I]furfag porn[/I] as a scapegoat is where I draw the line. It's stupid.

[editline]19th October 2014[/editline] Mostly by the same people[/QUOTE] A few hours ago, until I had pointed it out, someone posted a 16 year old robot chick and it had 2 agree posts, plus there were people trying to defend that the post wasn't in violation of the rules. "Report -> it gets removed.", if I hadn't entered the thread to see the drama and noticed that the show was "My Life As A Teenage Robot", that would have gotten past the mods(because they don't want to moderate that thread), so that doesn't exactly work when people SUPPORT the member violating the rules. So much about shitposting and furry-hate, naive to say such things.
