::raises hand:: I have a question!!!

[Overread17 5]

there isnt really much clarification noted in the NSFW section concerning exactly what constitutes "NSFW" except that NSFW has to be in the title. I would venture to say that if there is any question as to whether a pic should be in that section or not, you could probably message a moderator and ask. just to be safe. let one of the Mods's make the decision and it takes the liability off of you.

What liability?

If I'm questioning whether or not something is NSFW... I'm just gonna mark it as NSFW to be on the safe side...

What I'm trying to figure out is what KIND of NSFW content is ALLOWED... since Over is saying boudoir is okay... yet a boudoir post got moved... or deleted... or whatever the hell happened with it.

that was my point. in the NSFW section it doesn't TELL you what kind of photos are supposed to be in there.. just to mark the NSFW in the title. it doesnt give any criteria, or examples, or anything. I would just assume that anything I wouldnt want my kid to see should go in there.

Hmm I thought we had rules there - I'll see about getting something drafted up and added.

Thus far the only topic I know that might (and I'm stressing the word might) be on the cards for actually being moved is gore/horror/blood type posts. This has mostly not been something we've directly dealt with because our primary horror photographers are missing in action and its not been a topic to see much (if any) recent action.
The overall policy for what is allowed is "family friendly" and whilst one can argue that fake blood isn't anti-family some of the more extreme examples would be on the cards to be put in the subscribers only section.


Other than that boudoir should be allowed, although overly sexually suggestive kinds might get the push - but the difference is always a bit of a rocky area to pin down and define.

*What* NSFW "section"?????

Like I said before, boudoir was just always put into the People Photography section last time I was here...

some mods seem more or less zealous about certain things.

...which is why there needs to be a clear cut rule... although in saying that I can already see how that would just probably cause even MORE issues....

Maybe we should have a section for boudoir photos that don't show enough skin to really be NSFW.

As far as I'm concerned, all boudoir is NSFW... but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be able to post it if we just warn people..... like we USED to. :roll:

ah, i understand your question now.. sorry, my bad. they added a NSFW section that you can only see if you are a donating member. and thats where all NSFW photos are supposed to go. boudoir or otherwise.

there really is no actual "rule" as far as I know. (which may not be much) maybe they need to convene a moderator council meeting and work it out in committee.

for the record, I didn't become a donating member because I wanted to look at artsy nudes. (more of a "movie" guy) I donated because this is a great forum with really good people and a lot of them are willing to help you at the drop of a hat. None of what makes this site work is free, except for peoples donated time. Since I cant donate time to help, money also helps
keep this forum up and running. Its the least I can do, and very cheap for the help and advice you can get here from experienced people. try going to some photographer and asking how much they will charge to "teach" you something. this is far cheaper by comparison, and for the most part extremely effective. well worth the price of admission. IMHO of course.

So 412's boudoir post was considered overly sexually suggestive????? :shock:

So then, what kind of boudoir ISN'T considered overly sexually suggestive if *that* was?





Good lord, I hate censorship. :banghead:

If that's the case, then that's just dumb.

Whoever said it is right.

It just comes down to money. There are several other forums that allow boudoir... even NUDES... as long as they are tagged with "NSFW" and I don't have to pay to view or post in them.

Like I said - far as I know this has NOT changed.
NSFW was opened up to allow an increase in content allowed on the site by re-allowing nudity as a subject for those who wish to post it. Only the horror subject has changed in maybe the most extreme also being moved to NSFW. The rest of the site rules are running without any changes

Allowing nudes was NOT for the money (heck there are 12 subscriber slots up for free each year with photo of the month). Mods asked the admin for allowing a restricted access section of the site for nudity - which means we used the built in subscriber feature; its a perk more than anything for those who choose.


As for why that thread was moved - we can't say till KmH logs in to answer. Till then Don't Panic people

Yet 412's post was moved...

THAT'S what I'm stuck on.

I know you said you're asking... but that's what I'm talking about.

I know - can't answer till KmH checks in and stuff
Ps re-read my last post I edited in an answer to your previous to last post to clarify a few points.

How about this Over, anyone who posts boudoir pics are allowed to see and comment on their thread only, they will be blocked from other posts until they become a supporting member? That way the post is moved, the OP can look and view their work.:thumbup:

I disagree. If I post a boudoir, I don't want C&C from JUST paying members.

I'd rather just go to a different forum altogether if that becomes the case.

Just a thought, and there are at least 1800 + supporting members.

1. Ads on this site are ridiculous, whole forum section worth. Money in the bank.

2. Ads on this site while not a member. Money in the bank.

3. Supporting members. Money in the bank.


Trust me, they don't need help with all these ads they are displaying. but it does help.

Also your avi may be considered offensive to some, its a head wrapped up. Could be considered gorey, or harsh? I don't have a problem with it al ALL. I'm just saying that there needs to be fairness all around. Not attacking or offending you, but I'm simply stating if it's family friendly there needs to be definite answers and not just a mod's opinion...

where does that number come from? That's bigger than our current viewing list (and that's populated with at least 1000odd guests )

From a previous thread lemme find it.

Thus far we've had no reports of anyone finding zombie/mummy pixmedic scary (and even if we did get a report it does not mean we will act upon it and do as requested).

As for answers - be patient - its a weekend and moderation is unpaid volunteer work
