Planet Furry isn't quite what I expected.

Sinlock I really hope you dont let the board there become like the secret board in order to satisfy a few Outposters. Moderation is needed. I will search for pron and nude pics on my own. I dont like to post in a forum that allows too much.

Well, you're right. We have been "looser" there in the past and this is our general temperament - we don't meltdown over occasional T&A.

However, as I said over there - maybe, if this is something that is really desired, the best compromise would be an Outpost NSFW forum. Even Sin Systems had a separate NSFW area. It's not a bad idea!

You do realize that many Outposters post during the day from work. The form needs to be work safe or they will get into trouble. Also Planet Fury needs to be such a site that wont be blocked by corporate firewalls

These are good points.

I do want to keep moderation as light as possible, and so far this isn't a problem (no one is really posting such material). I'll have to cross the bridge when we get to it.

NSFW boards are always irrelevant. What happens is: a few posters will take advantage of it in the first few weeks by posting all sorts of nasty/gross-out stuff in there and then it'll never be used again.

Sinlock I would think you wouldn't want to go off the deep end. The site is for reviews after all so it can bring in any kind of traffic.

We actually have reviewed porn before.

This was an experiment though and not something we've done regularly (this might be the only HC review we have, actually).

And yes - besides text, the link is work safe. I do like to keep article images "clean".

Annnnnd - you are right. That's actually exactly what happened at Sin Forums.


Alright alright, I'm thinking the general rules should be pretty much what they are here. However, if nips or bare butts show up once in awhile, we're not going to freak out and ban anyone, either.

Sin's Forum has basically degenerated into the most depressing leper colony ever. The board goes kaput at least once a year, losing more and more people in the process.

Personally I think the stricter the moderation the more creative you have to get. Figuring out a way to say "Fuck you" without saying "fuck you" is a lot funner than simply saying "fuck you."
