The new Forum rules
Someone posted a link to someone's main dA page which contained much in the way of NSFW.

I agree. Most people don't bother to read the whole forum rules and may not want to comb through them to find the pertinent information. This way it's easily accessible for newcomers.

<wags finger >
please tell me it wasn't a regular ?
I would, but I'd be somewhat lying because I saw it this morning while rushing to get ready for work and don't recall who posted the link or who's dA site it was.

It was my dA site...it's all full of the pron and whatnot.

yeah, i saw the post earlier and felt bad that so soon we were breaking the rules we just went over.

Hero: Armor Assassin (scrapper), Cross Dresser (scrapper), Surly Seaman (blaster), Defensive End (Tank), Rad Rhino (Cont)
Villain: Beast Infection (Corr), Sweet Zombie Jesus (MM), Milk Weasel (Stalker), Orgullo (MM), Agent Eris (Crab)
Well lets take a look at a forum where the posters are allowed a bit of leeway in this case PWNZ , nothing against PWNZ but the mods practicly live there and id rather not have every third post in a thread be from a mod ((nothing personal mods))
They are allowing the cheesecake but they are drawing the line at things with a heavy sexual content , im pretty sure none of us should be surprised .
They even gave us a way around that but geez folks think before you post .

:P
I've tried to stay away from this-I don't have a dog in this fight. However, it is possible that someone could post a DA site that is perfectly SFW and between the time they post it and the time someone clicks it, the individual either entered a new NSFW deviation or picked a NSFW favorite.
In that case, not their fault. So, do the rules get them in trouble or take into account their lack of control of the page linked to?
Just curious.
im guessing it dosn't take into account their lack of control , I don't really have a dog in this fight either as you'd be hard pressed to find adult Dragonberry art .
on one hand I don't think we should be held to puritanical standards were one has to wear a potatoe sack over themselves .
on the other hand I really think it shouldn't be that hard for folks to avoid posting adult adult content ((my oponion of course ))
There are a few people that would love nothing better then to have only their small minded view of what is acceptable become the new standard , Id prefer policing our own and not forcing the mods to live here
I... agree with Scarf, actually.
There's ways of conforming to the "one click away" rule.
And yes. I can easily 'host' any warning pages you guys want. I'll just copy the one I have and edit the particulars.

That begs the question.
Does the absence of evidence, in this context, mean there's an evidence of absence? Or is this a case of an unknown unknown, where we don't know that we don't know that there may be NSFW Rowr arts!
...I'm being random today.
actually the only link we are sure was pulled down was the link posted by Zenvious of his wifes character so we might want to pm him to see who the artist was ...I don't remember the picture itself to be of a adult nature though

The abscence of an item does not negate the existence of an item. However the prescence of an item does confirm the existence of an item. The question is is there an abscence of the prescence, or a prescence of the abscence? And can Rowr learn to spell? That is the real question.
I'd argue a view of semantics on that one -
It was vaguely adult in nature, but nothing really beyond a racy magazine cover. Which doesn't even come close to seeing my bar on what I consider adult stuff, but by technical definition..
It was about the farthest thing from explicit (or even anything beyond suggestively adult) I can think of, though, while still fitting a technical definition of adult.
But, again. That's just running circles around semantics, and you're right.
I either need sleep or more coffee at this point, with all my random junk today. O.o
To quote a certain Grand Galactic Inquisitor: IGNORE ME! (But, like. Not literally. Because then I'd be sad forevers and make with the sad fox eyes and nobody wants that. But, like, this particular post has no point unless you're really into odd random discussions with no point.)

The picture itself was far from NSFW. There was nothing wrong with it at all. The only thing I can think of was that the artist's page link may have had (at the time someone looked) some more-than-mature stuff.
Were that the case, it would have been better to modify the post to remove that than to nuke an entire thread, I think.

Im actually rather intrested in who posted what and where so we can figure out what exactly prompted the removal ((yeah obviously something NSFW)) but by knowing what was banned it helps give us an idea of what not to post .
After reading Kohs post I had to check the various Dragonberry pictures to see if they might have offended ...I don't think they would but im unsure about what does and dosn't offend .
It might be a good idea to post and sticky the rule pertaining to linked images at the top of the forums for edufication
