Question Regarding art sharing threads

[DeslotlCL]

First of all, sorry if there are errors on my post, my english isnt good enough.

Regarding this topic, at which point are we allowed to share or stuff there? I mean, if we are not sharing explicit adult themes we shouldn't have a problem with the community. There 8s a reason that subforum exists and is fir people or artists whose would love to share their work and hear other people opinions... isn't gbatemp supposed to support creativity being it related to homebrew/games development or art?

Recently a thread on the Art sharing subforum was closed due to sexualised content being shared or talked... I think there was something mistaken... you are restricting someone' freedom to share his/her art related stuff... I know why it was closed, i tried my best to look for rules breaking stuff, but i didn't find anything. The stuff on the op were no way nsfw and shouldn't be considered like that. Nothing shared was explicit nor implicit, everything was meant to be friendly at least for a +12 audience.

About the stuff being talked on the posts, i mean seriously, we are not able now to make induendos? to talk about who we are? What we like?

Now, regarding the fa stuff... seriously? No links were gave, no username were gave, fa was just mentioned and that's all. Cant we talk now about online galleries? Almost every online gallery has nsfw hosted on it, but it is s natter of the user if he wants to search for that stuff over there. If we apply that logic, even social media shouldnt be allowed to be mentioned, since even twitter is used to share artistic stuff and nsfw material.

What i try to say is, that it was s bit rude to close a thread without talking to the op first and look for a fix for it... We should be able to share our stuff if we are not doing something wrong.

Heck, i have seen a lot if weebs sharing boobs and lolis on the eof, or people talking worse things on other forums, users saying the word "dick" without concerns... but yeah, bevause it is weeb it is ok to do so.

This was it all, thanks for the read. This was mostly aimed to the staff but feel free to comment.

The report you submitted was concerning whether or not you could include a link to your FA account. However, what we reacted to was not only the request itself, but also the sexualised content already within the topic.

Which should have been settled in a pm, like I asked for

Why should it have to be settled in a PM? This is a topic that concerns all forum members, not just you.

So I could remove anything deemed unfit for the rest of the site instead of removing everything and locking the damn page

So what about people who have posted worse stuff on the eof? why now? Seriously, i have access to the pics and i cant see the problem with them, i simply cant...

Oh, the chibi one with the tentacles? oh no, it was not just covering parts of the chibi and even then, the chibi had nothing to show, the body was really kid friendly and the tentacles were also for decoration.

If you see people posting NSFW images, even in the EoF, you can always report them to the staff.
They'll handle it.

Yeah, it's not like i have reported flame war posts before and mods not giving a damn crap about them.

The thing is, I requested someone in the staff clear up some rules for me, then asked for them to pm me so it wouldn't become a public issue. I knew if it did, it would cause another thread to be opened to question the staff. This actually isn't the first time I've reported a thread/post/edit before making it and asking the staff. Previous reports have gotten a PM in order to handle the issue before it became an issue.

I really hate furries TBH, but I don't think this is the right way to do things either.
Not that you can't. Sure you own the site. But it feels somewhat tyrannic.

 

[Kioku]

Not to bash the mods.. But there are a ton of questionable actions. Not just locking threads for no sustainable reason.. But also the lack of action on obviously bait and flame posts. It seems their personal views can and will get in the way of actively helping to keep the forums CLEAN. Like they're supposed to.

 

[The Catboy]

So I am going to quote what was said on another thread regarding NSFW backgrounds

If it's a naked girl/anime girl (no loli stuff pls) as long as you censor the naughty bits, yes it's fine. If it's a sexual act and you just censor the naughty bits, then no, it's still not allowed.
tl;dr As long as the censored pic isn't overly-sexual yes.

Going by the same rules here, my posts did not violate any rules. Nothing was shown and even one picture was cropped because it was a front and back and the back showed a butt. I did not add a link to my FA nor did I even mention the name to the account. I asked and was shutdown for it.

You got them there

Well there were "nude" drawings of an animalperson, in chibi form I guess. Looked a lot like a nude kid. Also a nude picture not explicitly showing genitalia is not "safe for work" in everyone's definition.

Besides, you don't know if the user in question was contacted or not, do you?

Btw the way, I wasn't contacted. And going by the post I quoted from a staff member, no rules were broken. No junk was shown and the two pictures in question were not in any sexual positions. I did nothing wrong
I would also like to mention it was all contained in one thread on the art section. If people don't want to see clean furry art, then they don't have to and I am not making them. I even put them behind spoilers. I went out of my damn way to ensure no one could be upset by this

Yeah the only rule that is being broken is the one regarding publicly discussing staff decisions. But that's fine right?

You guys choose to ignore my simple request and could have settled this with a pm.

They didn't ignore your simple request, you bought the thread to their attention, it was discussed and they acted on it. Bortz also made a very succinct post at the end explaining why he took action so its not like you don't know why it was closed. The staff don't owe personal explanations for their actions to people especially if the make a PUBLIC one.

You should really stop whining now, thnx.

 

[Costello]

the reason we are so strict about nudity/pornography/sex-related is because of the Google Adsense policies.
we have received warnings in the past for allowing those things, they were threatening ban our account if we didnt remove the content
it sucks, but if we dont comply it'll mean trouble for GBAtemp.

Besides, let's face it, there are young people on our community and it wouldnt be fair if we had to enforce a "nobody allowed under 18" policy on the site (as required by law) just for the sake of a few threads. Keep the porn/nudity talk for other circles, simple as that

and of course everything p1ngpong said.

You know, I am done.

dude you're taking it to heart.

Temp has fair staff compared to other forums and communities. no is "targeting" you.



what we do on this forum is on the edge of stuff in general by giving info on hacks, mods and such things. we dont need any more heat. as @Costello said google can be a bitch. even if its pennies, every single little helps.
