The Place for Purging Porn and Pedo-Pandering (AKA P5 flag evaluations)

And would lead to issues if a generically titled porn work shares it's name with a legitamate work. Some naive soul, for example that actually made a straight documentary about Caligula.

It would still close off their most obvious/easy option, though.

Nobody said that you'd have to employ suggestions in their entirety without applying fixes to address issues with them.

EDIT: Gah. Stupid accidental doubleposting.

This post was thumped by the Eldritch Flyswatter of Horror

I've Cutlisted and blanked VideoGame/RapeLay. Please report if someone tries to save it.

Hey guys, I think I found another possibly porn MUD: Flexible Survival.
Page talks about NSFW, passage from it's own wiki:

However, I'm not putting it into reports until I can check out the game myself and that'll be several hours away yet.

Edit: okay, after some wiki browsing it really looks like a multiplayer Corruption of Champtions

Daum, just look at that NPC list and all the sex. (link is safe, following from it is not)

I received back the message from the troper that restored Rape Lay. They didn't know of the Content Policy and say that now that they know, the game wouldn't pass the policy.

One more reason why I advocate for implementing a mass-PM function, if only limited in usage to staff members (or heck, only accessible by Eddie himself), so that when a policy (or amendment) has been set in stone (or its wording, at least), we can just send a site-wide PM to inform every currently registered troper so that we can avoid "I didn't know!" incidents like this one. I mean, it's been what... almost a whole year since the Content Policy has been set down?

That would message a lot of uninterested people as well, and likely increase any fighting.

One thing that would be good were to lay off the vague edit reasons like "Not up for discussion" - the troper cited that as an issue.

Anyone who joins AFTER the PM gets sent out wouldn't know about the Content Policy, though?

Exactly

There was a separate suggestion elsewhere that entailed making it so that any new accounts automatically get a welcome PM that includes links to what we feel to be the most important/essential Administrivia pages, including Content Policy.

I agree with the paedophilia prohibition, so i won't complain about the deletion of =Rape Lay=, but what if the NP Cs were all adults? Would it be acceptable?

It'd probably come under our 'no porn' rule, right?

Yep. This should be explained in no uncertain terms on the Content Policy page.

There have been plenty works with a high sex content that were judged to be not porn. It really comes down to being a judgement call based on the individual work. Not knowing anything about it, I can't guess how the that game would be be classified if the "Pedopandering" rule were not applied.

Rape Lay, even if it did not have the 13 year old and thus fall afoul of the Pedopandering rule, is a game based around a storyline involving a molester turning into a rapist for the sole reason of getting revenge and going around raping an entire family. Having played the game (A friend thought it was hilarious and sent it to me) I can safely say it is a porn work with only the barest plotline.

Let's not talk about Rapelay any further, the damn title is enough to tell you what it's about.

And not everyone got the PM, I've been here for years and never got a PM about it to my knowledge.

That's because there wasn't one? We were talking hypotheticals. I think.

Discussion on messages on notifications goes into the policy topic, folks. Also, I took care of the tagging.

Also, Flexible Survival was flagged. Some links I've found:

• http://web.flexiblesurvival.com/

*points up*

It's got some convoluted interface so yesterday I was mostly figuring stuff up. (I did get assaulted by two hundreds of "latex foxes" at once. The game spent a looong time dumping the copypasta'd paragraphs for each and every one of them on me. Although to be fair there IS an option to opt out of 'defeat messages'.)

What about World Of Warcraft and Second Life? Both allow the player to have sex with other players. Explicit sex. Are they exempt for being mainstream? (Second Life isn't a game, but i made my point)

A work must be primarily be composed of porn, not just some sex scenes, in order of it to be under consideration.

You can cyber in any communicative medium, World Of Warcraft doesn't have anything more than that (probably could get you banned, even).

It is when the game has explicit sex quests and sexual scenes with NPC - that's when we're having a problem. Flexible Survival indubitably has them, the question is how much focus the game has on them.

More info found here, here, and here.

Far as I can tell, the sexual content is somewhat integral to the gameplay, so probably over the line of acceptability.
