DZComposer Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 It seems that we have a hole in our image policy. The second linked image in this post (NSFW, View when/where it is safe for you to do so), the one in the spoiler tag, is legit according to the rules, but I think we need to amend the rules, as it is darn-close to being pornographic. http://forums.starfox-online.net/index.php?topic=467.msg70984#msg70984 At issue are the obvious erect nipples on both subjects and the visibility of the, uh, private area of one of them through the clothing. What changes should we make to the policy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I motion that anything that could be defined as more than a "mild bump" or other similar lack of detail in suggestable regions be against our rules of appropriate fanart. Edit: And also add a clause to the effect of "if the moderator finds that a specific fanart within the rules, but is deemed 'too suggestive' it may be removed with no fault to the original poster." Such "too suggestive" fanarts would have to be dealt with on a case by case basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeWalker Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Dammit, I keep stumbling onto these things after everything's been deleted. I would put in a "too suggestive" clause, with the caveat that moderators have the right to decide on a case-by-case basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Most of it would be Krystal based anyway. I would personally suggest that we really don't allow it, as I am sure it'd give more people the reason to think this is like the KLA. I mean no insult to them, but... I am sure we don't want that image. If people want to find suggestive art all they need to do is to go onto Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 I've added some new rules and revised others. What do you guys think? 1. No Pornography. Pornography is any image that contains sexual acts. 2. Artistic Nudity is allowed so long as it is tasteful and follows these guidelines: ALL IMAGES THAT CONTAIN NUDITY MUST HAVE A WARNING, must NOT BE EMBEDDED (link to it instead), and must be inside a spoiler tag. a. Female: The full breast may not be shown, the area of the nipple must be covered; the crotch area must be covered, regardless if something can be seen or not. b. Male: The crotch must be covered, regardless of if something can be seen or not. 3. Clothing should not be too revealing. If a private area is obviously visible through clothing, then don't post it. With female subjects, it's fine to have a little bit of a lump where the nipple is, bit it shouldn't be too obvious. 4. Please do not post anything that suggests anything sexual or suggests the desire for a sex act.. 5. Graphic depictions of death or serious bodily injury are prohibited. Blood is fine, but the gory details should be avoided. 6. Please post a warning if an image contains significant violence. 7. Do not post anything that promotes illegal substance use 8. If the staff deems any image to be inappropriate, it may be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeWalker Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Nice addition with the spoiler tag. That's a good use for them. Also, Rule 9: When in doubt, err on the side of caution. And maybe something about at least using spoiler tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
