I'm not sure why you do - I can understand people wanting to make sure that they are doing something that fits with the current moderation rules so that they don't get hit by the hammer. Perhaps when they click your link to your DA page and find a fave that was questionable and remove your link, you will understand why people want to get this right.

I just mean that if you do click the links in my siggy, then you won't find anything questionable.
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, you could in theory, TA. You've got some NSFW flagged pieces in your favorites, which could randomly end up on your main DA page, making your page and the link in violation, which I believe is what Ether is trying to get at.

And all I'm saying is that your link leads to your DA page, and is therefore subject to modsmacking, as well. As does nearly everyone else's here. The tinyurl link does not take a second click - you go right there. So some NSFW fave could get you modded, too.
I think I'm going to UL something to scraps that is my avatar or something with only a link to my DA page in the desciption. And the rest of you may wish to look at your linkies, too, before you suddenly don't have them.

Aaah good point, didn't think about the fav's that might pop up. I R ashamed!
Thanks for the heads up brudda! 
There, fixed mine, as long as DA doesn't post anything the mods don't like on their daily deviations - they're at the bottom automatically on the page.

Im not sure the first thing I want to see when clicking a link is a large picture of your avatar staring back at me ....the eyes follow me !
Mwahahahahahahaha <gasp> hahahahahahahaha <cough>
I can linkie to a different something if need be - that was just my first idea. W.I.P.

Wow, I didn't realize that V.6 did that to the individual art pages. And there's usually 1-2 artistic nudes in the daily deviations each day. that rightly sucks. That's going to make linking to art on DA difficult, unless you link directly to the "Download" of the pick.
Though it looks like if you go to the artist's gallery, you're looking directly at just their art. No DD's or Faves there, may work for siggy links....
NSFW Rule = understandable and fine
DA V.6 = okay
NSFW RULE + DA V.6 = teh suck nightmare.

Play nice guys or i'll get drunk and surly ...again :P
Dark, SoulTrains Redirect idea should work for your DA link it dosn'y nescarrily have to have "Here be porn" listed on the redirect
any number of well thought out phrases or sentences could convey the same thought .
I think TA is just trying to make light of our forums growing pains
I don't think he was trying to incite anger ...

*kicks Ether**punches Scarfy*
haha you had it right Scarfy! Too much angst going on around these forums lately and i'm sick of it! So i was trying to be lighthearted.
I changed my link to go directly to the gallery. That should settle that.
Glad you mentioned that - I looked again, and have hit the 'hide' icon, so they shouldn't show up now - tidy!
If they appear for you, that means you have chosen to view such things, and it's out of my hands.

That just means you can't ever UL anything naughty. I'm not sure I can do that, because I've given free rein to some artists I'm working with.

Nah, i can upload them all i want. Just that i won't be able to feature them which is cool by me. I'll just throw em in a side folder there
besides, the stuff i'd upload that would be NSFW would get deleted from DA anyways lol

I'm not trying to be insulting Ether. I just mean that if you do click the links in my siggy, then you won't find anything questionable. Thats the point. If there is 2 clicks, you have to acquit

Not as far as ex Libris is concerned. Been through the list with her on more then a few occasions. It's all good
I'm really torn by this thread. I want to support art expression and I do appreciate good NSFW pictures but I understand why it's not allowed on the forums. This is a family game and my niece has been playing since she was 13 along with many of her friends from school. I've never encouraged her to look at the forums mostly because of the negativity that pop's up (nerf regen, no u) but also because there is some things that people take a little too far, like MRP.
It's hard to balance what some adults consider casual fun and what might be seen as offensive. I know there was one thread I saw with directions to go to some guys website where there was a vulgar picture with a phallus that was basically pornographic. My first thought was "it's a good thing my niece doesn't look at the forums."
I think we kinda forget that it's our responsibility, as adults, to be sensitive to what little eyes might be seeing on a forum that considers itself safe for youngsters.
What's amusing is that, by the forum rules, that's perfectly fine. There's no direct link, so if you choose to satisfy your curiosity by going to said person's website, the blame is on you.
That's the thing about NSFW rules. At any point, anytime, people's definitions of that will be different, and regardless of how many stopgaps we put in to protect our ethical guilt, someone is going to get offended and blame it on someone else.
That's the nature of people. It's not my fault.

[/ QUOTE ]seems to me like you've nailed it on right on the head, the mods are just making sure that its not coming directly from their website, by now most of you probably already get this but figured i'd throw it in

Yes but Ex is NSFW, too. I've read it on the inarwebz.
