Obscene Content (1, 3, 6, or 12 points)
Obscene content is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to:
1. Providing images, videos, or verbal descriptions of nudity. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Any figure whose genitals, pubic hair, buttocks, or (if female) nipples or areolas are exposed, partially or totally; or are not exposed, but it's clear that this is only because of the angle of the shot or incidental intervening objects (e.g., hands, hair, bits of cloth).
- Visible outlines of genitals or female nipples through clothing.
- Anything that falls narrowly outside the previous provisions, at the discretion of the moderators.
- Verbally describing or providing image, video, or audio files that represent or hint at sexual acts. Passing references may be acceptable, but descriptions that are graphic or include any details are not permitted.
This applies to photographs, drawings, or any other representation of humanoid figures. It may also apply to non-humanoid figures such as animals, at the discretion of the moderators. Nudity may be permitted for serious and non-titillating purposes, such as the exhibition of recognized art or historical models in modifications, at the discretion of the moderators.
2. Providing images, videos, or verbal descriptions of an unreasonably disgusting nature. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Excrement and other obscene example of bodily functions.
- Real-world violence and extreme gore, including executions and the dead or wounded of armed conflict.
- Extreme virtual or imagined violence.
Links may not be posted for the purpose of providing obscene content. If a website incidentally includes some reasonably obscene content, it's acceptable to link to it for some other purpose as long as a clear warning is given. Similarly, if content incidentally includes some reasonably obscene content, it's acceptable to include it in a post for some other purpose, as long as a clear warning is given and the reader must actively click a button to view it (e.g., spoiler boxes or YouTube videos).
Excessively obscene content, particularly porn and extreme gore, is still not allowed to be posted or linked to in any fashion. The distinction between acceptable and excessive obscenity is at the discretion of the moderators. As always, if you are not sure, ask a moderator. |
