Let's continue shall we? Tagged explicit/porn in order to solicit opinions only from those that would see the content, at least before filtering it, if they so choose. |

though I didn't bother posting in the original, I primarily find it annoying that there isn't a "one-stop" repository for all pony artwork. I don't have any particular interest in foal porn or even pony porn for that matter, but a fair chunk of it is also really high quality artwork.
The other issue I have is the complete arbitrary nature of it. It's a fictional character that isn't even human. Even if the artist specifically says "this character is underage" the character still doesn't exist, so there is no factual support of this detail. Since no one's age is specified (except celestia, at over 1000 years old) I could claim EVERY character in the show is underage, including "porn" of inanimate objects. |

Grey:
Your post struck a nerve with me, oddly enough. Not because of the "fictional nature" stuff - that was already established. But because you reminded me that my previously attested strictures in running a site like this are not currently being served. My intent, from the beginning, was to make Ponibooru that "one-stop repository". The place where you could find images that had been created elsewhere in the fandom. The rule in question prevents this. I guess I knew it all along and just needed to hear someone call me out on it. That said, my concern is also with axioms. Strict lines of behavior. It's not just that I don't want to run afoul of the law. It's that, if someone got it in their heads to come after me because of a grudge, I don't want to give them anything to find purchase. I want to have a clean record, to avoid trouble in case I make enemies in the future. In short, I'm a bit paranoid, and perhaps anxious to cover my flanks a bit more than I need to. But you've reminded me that that policy of self-preservation conflicts with my platonic ideal for the site. |

Sind: that's because, when faced with a contradiction, it's easier to do nothing and ignore the problem than to change something to resolve it. At certain points in this whole mess, I actually considered purging the stuff from FiMChan, too. |
| Eco #504192 10 months ago |
So now what? Well, right now, I'm thinking over how I might change the rules without exposing the content in question to anyone who hasn't asked for it (and without making it clear to the outside world - even to web crawlers - that the content is running around). This kind of content is probably one of the things people are most sensitive about, and the last thing I want is for folks to stumble across it accidentally. It's not always someone's own fault that they're "thin-skinned".
But... as my mental state exists at this moment, and subject to revision if I get a full night's sleep and remember something I forgot... I think I'd be willing to make that change. |

(Also, as an aside: I don't generally check my PMs anymore. Dealing with the kinds of things people PM me about generally takes willpower that I want to save for other endeavors. Which is probably irresponsible of me, but frankly if I had enough people I could trust to mod the place, I'd probably retire to an technician-only role and let them deal with running the site day-to-day.) |
| Edef #504898 10 months ago |
I think you're blowing this out of proportion Eco. I'd say, that based on the opinions presented in these threads, that the majority of people are not offended by this content. Most people who would be offended by it already have porn/explicit filtered, and would never see it, likewise, those that don't like it specifically probably already have variations of "fillycon" or "pedofoalia" filtered.
You don't really have to worry about a specific rule. Tagging from the community has been solid, if not a bit too careful (and for that, a tagging guidelines wouldn't hurt). In reality, the community here is largely self-moderating. Disputes are generally solved locally, and spam is uncommon. Mods only seem to come around ~once a day to check reports. And, Eco, I'm trying to bring matters to your attention and discuss things with you, but I can't do that if you don't reply to PM's. I don't know if I've become your enemy by trying to, but that was not my intention. In short, I don't think it's such a big deal as you're making it out to be. |
| Edef #515999 10 months ago |
Eco, muster up some willpower already ಠ_ಠ |
| Nebbie #605953 9 months ago |
My comment was saved then, that's nice.
Anyways, good job Eco, and please be less paranoid in the future. You'll make enemies with every action, just remember that the kinds of people to get upset about stuff like that tend to be all bark and no bite. Ignore any grudges they may have. |
