New Forum: Mature Gallery (Market PG 4)

[Indie]

Ok, thanks for the info!

[Totem]

curious on any update on the drug use? Edit: drug use or images with a picture of a weed leaf or smth

ALSO HEAR ME OUT. what if it's a dildo or strap on but not used sexually in the art piece? We can have dicks so I'm curious if this is something that can be discussed as well since I was told this isn't something allowed. AKA let me have art which has dildo wars

Like ok I'm asexual and I don't Care really all that much for sexual stuff in the mature boards and stuff and don't really frequent them often but... they're already 18+ and tagged and users have to be screened by staff to get there in the first place, why not just... allow explicit material? for people who want to post it? and just differentiate content with tags like [MATURE] and [ADULT] or [EXPLICIT]??? Idk man you do you and it doesn't really affect me any but for those it does effect I don't see why it's prohibited on an 18+ board where everyone is already adults and means can be implemented where if people don't want to see that they don't have to anyway

I agree with this and I think the different tags can help people as well if they don't want to see sex, drugs, vaginas, etc. I think it would be cool to have a [GORE] tag as well. Although with peoples personal galleries which can range from vaginas, dicks, nipples, gore etc that might be tricky to just have a tag label since it's multiple and that is where the [MATURE] tag can come in.

[MATURE] - nudy judies, drug (if allowed), porno sex (if allowed), nipples, dicks, vaginas
[GORE] - gore
[EXPLICT] - more sexual/intercourse
[ADULT] - drugs

just an idea and all tags aren't needed or necessary but it may help

[Clovette]

[MATURE] is mandatory for all topics. We won't be changing that because we use it to bring out additional notice that the topic is in the mature board for those who can't see due to the dumb forum hiding it or for those who don't think to look. Beyond that you can tag it anything you want, it doesn't matter. [MATURE - GORE], [MATURE - DRUGS], whatevs. I'm not a fan of the other tags and don't think they're necessary because it's simply a way to mark the forum and not the specifics of the content within.

We'll reevaluate how we feel about porn, but I have mixed feelings on it and would prefer not to show it here even though I am a porn artist myself.

As far as drugs go, we are allowing drug references and such. We will not be allowing characters to be shown partaking in drug/illegal substance use; however, your characters may appear high and be presented with drug paraphernalia - just make sure that they are not partaking in the activity. I'll try to get the rules updated soon.

[Totem]

Thank you Heather!! So partaking would be smoking weed in a bong? However if a bong is present but not being smoked that's allowed if I'm understanding correctly?

That makes sense about the topics but good to know we can do the dash in between if we really want.

[Clovette]

Correct

[goth]

this is a cool step forward. i like that you decided to add a market.

thanks you guys for all your hard work,

[Fik]

I’m so sorry about not following up on this. Thanks for clarifying Clove!!

[Scrimshaw]

Yeah I moreso meant only one other tag like just MATURE and EXPLICIT to differentiate between some kinds of content
MATURE would be what we have now, with maybe some other stuff tacked on? Some of the mature here seems to be able to be accessed by minors on other sites, and basically broadly consists of 1. Artistic and nonsexual nudity and 2. Gore. Both I had access to before I turned 18.
EXPLICIT would be porno sex, masturbation, intercourse in general, fetish stuff (though I kind of disagree with this, some would need to be prohibited like non-con, fetishizing trans men and women, fetishizing body types, children, generally nasty fetishes people have that depict something illegal or are derogatory by simply fetishizing a group of people or otherwise)

The MATURE tag is like the general tag for the forum but EXPLICIT would allow people to reconsider a bit more deeply before entering a topic
