We should all just totally STOP getting NSFW pics anyway! Then we won't have to worry about this issue at all wold we?

What, are you nuts? :P
Seriously, the option to display "mature content" in DA is NOT just "if you're logged in". There's a checkbox under the account settings "Browsing" section, that when checked, allows it to be displayed.
But I'll have to redo my DA gallery. It's... *ahem* got a bit of NSFW in the recent deviations, as well as the faves. So that's a no-no. I'll build a page off my personal site with a "by clicking here you are acknowledging that you may see bare boobs and such" link, to my DA, and link THAT to my siggy.
EDIT: Sig is fixed. I'll redo the intercept page when I get home (MS Word creates MESSY HTML - me like Dreamweaver better!) but it'll do for now.
I'm sure there's a script that could be used to 'pass' a URL through a page like this, so a seperate version wouldn't be needed for each person. Perhaps a coder could assist, based on this example?

I just thought of the video I saw that was supposed to be anit drug about a girl who took acid and went to buy a hot dog. Its an old one and I'd try to look it up if youtube wasnt blocked at work or if I wasnt at work.
if there is a hot dog with a face on it in this video i'll likely be scarred for life :P

Well also, the DA 'mature filter' relies on the person posting the pic to actually pick if it's mature or not. I absolutely cannot rely on that.
I'm more of the mind set to say 'Hey I got art somewhere but I bet you can find it and if you can't PM me!' or something.
I think we're all resourceful enough.

I don't wonder at all.

Same. Well, in most cases. I really wouldn't have enjoyed living my Night Widow's life (you'll find out in a month or two when I'm done with the comic book, or possibly graphic novel if I keep coming up with more things to include, I'm working on for her).

So, lemme get this straight.... I post a link to an artist on DA, okay, it's their DA homepage and it meets DA rules and regulations, cool. Then I suggest that they look around, maybe visit her blog, and there is a NSFW picture of Nadya. That's not ok?

I love it when my avatar talks dirty to me.........

That should be ok according to what's been clarified. But if the artist had a NSFW picture in their "Recent Deviations" or as their "Featured Piece" or the "Favorites" preview, or anywhere else visible on their main gallery page (aka one click away from these here forums), then that link would get nuked. The blog thing should be fine.
Btw, something new there? I liked that last one. heh

I think the rule is: You can't post a link that goes directly to a page with NSFW content on it.

That's how I took it. I just have to find a workplace where anything goes....

Nadya is describing the thread of hers that got deleted.
This system would work okay if you would UL something to your DA gallery and have it *not* show on your main page. Perhaps that's possible, I don't know. But using this criteria, if someone should happen to have a mature piece ULed recently or one Fave'd that happens to show on their page at a particular moment, then every post they make would have to be nuked if they have their DA page linked in their Signature, as most of us do.
That's why I think someone being able to see it who is already joined DA and certified their age and agreed to see such things is not the best way to determine this.
But it looks like none of that matters, so I guess we'll have to stop referencing our art there, and cannot have anything submitted to the City Scoop that's on our DA page that may also show a Fave or something that might be questionable.

Well I think that particular DA artist had alot of adult art with censored bars all over it if I remember correctly , but my memorey is at times faulty .
Remember these rules are guidelines , but if the Mods feel your skirting the edges its well within their right to mod the thread .
I don't think we really post enough art of that sort to worry o'er much about it and most of the regulars are watching the other regulars on Deviant art so its not uncommon that folks will know about a particular piece of art before it gets posted on the forums .
Just use your best judgement and don't stress it if your art gets modded , we could also easily make use of the City of Art page on Deviant art to show off that which cannot be shown :P
personally I can think of severel ways around this so its not that big of an issue (( to me )) and the fact that they are allowing NSFW art and leniant posting policies on the art forum in the first place is a major concession IMHO
((by NSFW im lumping in cheese cake art , skimpy outfitted heroes and heroines and invincibelle , but not lumping in adult art which is hard to define but im sure the mods know it when they see it ))
ugggh is it sad though that the art forums resident hothead
( and by that I mean me ) isn't outraged about this and siding with the mods on the new policies
maybe im mellowing out in my old age ..........
or maybe the mods have those art pictures I took in collage .....
seriously I really needed the money ...and it was artistic ...honest !

I really think it has more to do with someone with a grudge or too much free time trying to make a issue with certain posters .
Theres adult content on almost everyones Deviant Art page from Sayterras to Scarfgirls , weather it be favorites , art commissioned or art drawn by the artist .
((and im sure we all have differing ideas what counts as adult but in the end its really the mods oponion that counts in this regard ))
and its not like these rules are really all that new , they are just enforcing them a bit more , consider it a bit of growing pains that we will just have to get used to
We really don't get moderated that often here and for the most part we police our own , even Nadyas thread which sorta painted a bullseye on itself by originally directly linking to the art in question and labeling itself as NSFW was allowed to exist .
one can imagine someone made a fuss , the mods visited that particular page and saw art with lots of censored bars and acted in a way we all likely shouldn't be that surprised about
((a hotdog with a face !!! im still having nightmares :P ))
, personally I consider it a slap on the wrist sorta like when im going 70 in a 30 MPH zone and the cop that pulls me over gives me a moving violation ticket as opposed to a full speeding ticket :P
I personally think its bussiness as usual
Well, we'll see.... if posts start disappearing just because there's a "My DA Page" link in their sig, and someone happened to see a mature pic in their faves or something, then we'll know the business is not usual.

I think there is a slight problem to just cleaning up your main dA page, even. The deviantART notice that changes, as well as the banners for those who don't have an account. Some of these have contained NSFW images. I've seen it. It happened once while I was at work before work blocked dA. I quickly shut down dA, but there it was.
Also, the mature content rating on dA is completely and totally dependent upon the user to proclaim themselves of age, or to mark the piece as mature. For all any of you know I'm a 14 year old boy getting his kicks, or a fifty year old gamer dude sitting in his parent's basement pretending to have some sort of life. CoH/CoV is just trying their best to protect themselves in this sue-happy environment we've all become a part of.
It's fairly easy to create a single page to link to that will then link to your dA account if you have another website. You don't need anything fancy. Play by the rules and we'll all have a happy fun time.
And for the record, I'm neither 14 nor 50 nor male. Everything else is left for your imagination.
