yeah but if you quote someone to say "lookin' good!!!" its an instant ban. because quoting is like holding someones posts, aka holding up a picture of them.

i guess from now on you should quote them and say "I enjoy the creativity of your username and/or choice of words that you chose to accompany the photograph of yourself (of which I have no opinion)"

or even shorter, quote them and say "I am indifferent to you and your appearance"

And don't forget to erase the actual selfie pic in that quote since we have a "don't quote offending material" rule.

Username's a good idea. Maybe we should try saying "Your username looks good" instead? I mean can we even objectify a username?

Apparently any topic involving pictures of people is considered objectifying and thus "hornyposting".

I figured this would be the kase. I was toying with the idea of making a nose topic or some other benign non-sexual shit, but remembering who I am dealing with, I decided against it.

Sounds like maybe their advertisers should be told that ads are being put up against horny content. Since fandom is so concerned about this community and that topic, the least we could do is respond in kind by making sure every piece of horny content across fandom's properties gets reported to the ad agencies so we can help them clean up their sites the way they want.

I don't know anything about the topic TC posted that got deleted, but I do hope the mods at least try to look at the "intention" when it comes to "horny posting". Moderating ones posting women in modest dresses in good faith will only hurt the good will of the CEmen here. What they should be cracking down are the ones posting in bad faith, trying to test the line on what is acceptable and what isn't.

Do it. Mark any topic on the board with images of the character.

Maybe they will change their stance like certain politicians when they realize their poorly designed book ban just banned bibles.

Which is unfortunate because the admins don't actually have any leverage over the mods since it's a volunteer position. The mods could pull a Reddit and all collectively just stop doing their job out of protest and there is literally nothing the admins could do about it because fandom's not about to start paying people to actually enforce the terms of service on this site.

This is exactly the same as what the people who thought the reddit blackout would work said. Mods will get replaced in an instant with bootlickers and then you're stuck with worse mods, congrats you've achieved even less than the reddit blackout.

At this point I'd rather see all of the mods that have been around for decades actually stand up for the community that they've been volunteering to support and get replaced with bootlickers so that everyone finally has an excuse to say fuck it and leave permanently. That's better than this weird slow burn we have now where the writing is on the wall and fandom just slowly turns up the temperature on the pot while telling us that they have grand plans to make this place better and that they care about our feedback to mitigate the inevitable Exodus they themselves created.

so upon further inspection of what constitutes as horny posting....its only hornyposting if the person is CLOTHED??!?

meaning, we can post naked ppl and its okay because its not objectifying them because there is no "dress attire" that can be applauded

Anything allowed in a T rated gamr should fly on any board and anything allowed in a M rated game should be allowed on M rated game boards and private/restricted boards 100%.

I'm not sure if that is true, TC. I can't recall what the text was in your OP, but it does seem like I recall something that could be interpreted as sexualizing-adjacent. I think it was the pic of the two chicks with their bra straps and almost-cleavage level showing that got you modded, though.

As I posted in that thread, a mod on "Ask The Mods" stated that Hornyposting consists of any posts that "sexualize" a real person or fictional character, such as saying "so-and-so is hot/sexy/fine/handsome/gives me a boner", esp. if there are scantily clad pics. Doesn't matter what bodypart you are talking about, either, which is why the foot fetish topic got locked. Yeah, it's completely absurd, and I say this as someone whose sexual orientation is asexual with a touch of heterosexual.
There have been mixed messages from other mods and admins regarding whether or not scantily clad pics of videogame characters are allowed so long as there is no sexualization. My advice is to absolutely avoid taking chances with any pics that are not either screenshots or official art. That means no fanart, cosplay, or AI-generated images unless the character is very conservatively dressed (which FYI basically excludes anything save screenshots and official art of any Marvel or DC character)

There's always been a significant portion of the rules that aren't written anywhere and, if you're lucky, you might get an NWD or NKL if you fall foul of rather than them jumping straight to warnings. These NWDs / NKLs then get treated as an actual history of intentional violations if you make some other minor insignificant violation before they purge, despite that you couldn't have known they were an issue and weren't intentionally breaking rules.

Even having a past moderation overturned for the same thing is no longer a guarantee of anything, even when literally nothing exists to suggest the rule has changed.

my guess is that one of the mods or admins is sick and tired of their current "collection" so they say they're gonna ban "hornyposting"
and what will people do because of that? they will start to "hornypost" in retaliation or to see how "horny" a post can be without being modded.
while all of this is happening, the mod or admin that is tired of their "collection" is swooping into all of the retaliation topics and is increasing the size of their "collection"

basically this is all a ruse to increase the size of their "collection of images" folder.

I don't think you're thinking of the right topic, the first post in mine was a woman in a Hijab, I don't believe there were any pictures in there that involved bra straps showing. As far as I remember, all of the pictures were tasteful and quite chaste.

The last on I posted was a little risqu though, as it was 2 woman in burkas wearing sandals and you could see toes, but they were not the focus of the picture.
