🔞 The "Should Facepunch Allow NSFW Material?" discussion arena.

[Mr. Scorpio]

the dicpics thread shouldn't exist at all tbqh

[Chubbs]

What's your boss going to notice first, the tiny text saying "Dickpicks Thread" or the massive text just below it saying "GOLD MEMBIE FUCK BUNKER"? What if your boss walks in and sees one of your "epic shitposts" about IQ's ass? That's way more likely to get you fired than a tiny bit of text he's gonna have to squint at your phone to read.

I can't even post this on your steam profiles comment section since you deleted it like a brainlet after getting scared.

[Col. Buggernuts]

We agree. I suspect we'll end up implementing a "no irl OC" rule.

[Trekintosh]

I'm curious what your argument was though.

[Big D Duchovny]

I just wanna point out how fast we went from "A WTYO situation is unthinkable ever again" to "post your dicks right here right now". Post all the porn you want but this is a really shitty idea imo.

[dai]

hey you remember when chickens! linked a dickpick by request in a nsfw thread, then afterward people discovered he was 17 at the time and it made everyone who saw it along with facepunch technically complicit in child porn

[Pascall]

We're considering a verification system atm. Personally, I'm not cool with a dickpics thread either unless there's a way to verify someone's age and they have to jump through hoops to make sure they're not sharing illegal content.

And beyond that, I'm certainly not interested in moderating a dickpics thread.

[Laika]

sharing tiddies with one another doesnt matter but y we gotta show our own dicks to each other tho

[Mr. Scorpio]

when you start asking people to produce and share pornographic content of themselves you're opening up a whole new legal can of worms that I don't think anyone wants to touch with a 5 foot pole

it seems really clear to me that this way over the line but idk it's up to you

[chunkymonkey]

That's dumb imo. Just ban it because obviously nobody wants it.

[Pascall]

If it were up to me, it wouldn't be allowed.

But I'm not the only moderator, so if it's going to be allowed, I'm going to at least make sure that age is verifiable.

[Laika]

i didnt care whether or not NSFW would be allowed/have its own subforum, but it definitely doesnt sit right with me to have a thread like that and just seems entirely pointless too.

[chunkymonkey]

If you wanna looks at other peoples dicks go do it on a private discord channel or something.

This isn't the kind of NSFW content i was in favor of when I was defending it earlier in the thread. In fact I think most people who shared my stance would draw the line at dick pics of users of the forum they're on.

[chunkymonkey]

What possible reason could some of the other mods have to allow it? I would love to see this conversation.

[Mr. Someguy]

I haven't really weighed in on this because I didn't really care about people posting models or drawings, but I am of the opinion that users posting themselves is crossing a line that shouldn't be crossed.

[FunnyGamer]

Yeah, tiled backgrounds are disgusting.

[chunkymonkey]

It doesn't need them because it's private.

[Laika]

the possible legal complications that could come with such a thing against the site/individual people > "haha i wanna c ur pee pee "
theres plenty of other sites/private channels for that shit dude

[GoldenDragon]

Yeah nah, the dick pics thread is something that is bound to end badly.

[Mr. Scorpio]

I mean if someone has like a tumblr or instagram or something where their upload nudes anyway I wouldn't really care if they posted them, it'd be just like anything else at that point

the problem is specifically soliciting random people to create and upload pornographic content of themselves when you have no way of verifying their age whatsoever

[Shier]

Posting general porn is fine imo but as far as explicit content of users present here... eh, I feel like that's genuinely asking for trouble. I hate this argument due to how much it was used lately but in this case, I believe it's actually true; there are better places for that than Facepunch where you are putting all the work and dangers of that on the modding team.

[LZTYBRN]

tbh i don't think any self-made pornographic content should be shared in public on the forum, I don't mind dick pics but it seems more dicey to have to worry about a thread where people will be posting content of themselves, especially since unless we're literally posting our IDS in the thread alongside dongles there's no way to tell whether a dick is above or below 18

[LZTYBRN]

dick pic thread has been locked

[Pascall]

Locked temporarily until we figure something out. Not a lot of moderators on today because it's a weekend so it'll be a while before we come to a consensus. If you want specific mod's opinions I suggesting pinging them or something lol.

[Mr. Scorpio]

do you have anything at all to contribute besides shitposts

you can't meme away legitimate legal concerns my guy

[chunkymonkey]

Well seeing as the only user I know who ever posted a picture of their ass is Postal... and what a magnificent ass it was.

[Toybasher]

I draw the line at self-posts.

Artwork n' shit is fine but dick pics was NOT what I had in mind.

My opinion is the thread should stay locked and that kind of stuff prohibited.

[chunkymonkey]

Because the title of said threads isn't basically "post ur dick lol".

Plus, given the context of those threads you're to post pictures of other people, not yourself.

[Shier]

Yeah but do you think mods want to operate as some kind of age sex police? They are supposed to curb shitposters and whatnot, not make sure that no one is uploading CP on FP.

[Pascall]

This implies that accessing the content is on the user, that way FP cannot be held legally liable for a minor accessing pornographic content.

However, this doesn't forebode a minor from posting their own content to the section under the guise of being of age which is an entirely different issue in and of itself.
