Adult Content - Forbidden on BigFooty

[Chief]

Is censoring **** infringing on our cultural heritage though? Its making looking for an alternative become increasingly appealing.

You can always go to Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, whatever. Whatever suits you. The world is your oyster.

Interesting. I'm all for curbing certain discussions however we should also be aware that this may be the safe space a young person feels comfortable discussing a difficult topic that could potentially breach the rules. Be careful with that one.

Of course we wouldn’t try to hurt anyone like that. But people have to be sensible about what is and isn’t allowed.

Absolutely. Just following the discussion and some of the responses to legitimate questions were quite puzzling. I get that were a footy site but we're also a community and there's a fine line between keeping things clean and encouraging people to discuss things that they might not feel comfortable discussing in the real world. I appreciate the response.

The rules are definitely ambiguous, sometimes applied arbitrarily. We just have to deal with it as it comes.

Oh im well aware. Seems like you need some revenue diversification away from said company if they just impose themselves with a one size fits all method.

Indeed.

Anything to keep Big Footy alive, I guess.

Does this mean that South Park image can’t be shared on here now?

If so - I, for one, welcome our new AdSense overlords.

Will this also affect religion as well.
With the Falou issue, this could also lead to racism. Which would mean its gone then?

Interesting dilemma.

 

[quotemokc]

Are we allowed to slag off Google?

Also this reminds of old Counter-Strike servers that would ban people for swearing despite it being an MA15+ game.

So, looks like we can’t write anything about One Nation and its truly excellent fellows.

 

[DapperJong]

Well poo

What about discussion re the church and their history of child sexual abuse and the covering up and tacit approval of it eg. George Pell?

 

[Art Corvelay]

All hail our Google overlords.

While trying to work out why a particular page was being flagged, I censored every conceivable “rude” word. Results back in soon.

BigFooty runs on money from advertisers including - mainly from Google.

We have our rules on pictures of people in states of undress: http://bit.ly/Puritanical

Posting those images in your posts or in your avatar will see them removed and your privileges curtailed. Pictures of nudity and sex acts will see your account banned.

We have always had rules against adult content, but this is starting to seep back in to some threads and boards.

Please be warned!

Adult content like the following should not be posted on BigFooty. Not even ironically. You may lose your account.

TLDR, the main stuff we see around the site:

* Nudity, near nudity, strategically covered nudity - including cartoons.
* Discussions about sex lives and performance, sexually transmitted disease and so on.
* Derogatory use of sexual words for people, players etc.
* Racist and hateful posts.

These are already part of the BigFooty rules, but some members have been posting it anyway.

A fetish may be an obsession or sexual desire in which gratification is dependent upon specific objects (diapers, food items, etc.), materials (leather, latex, etc), parts of a body (feet, toes, ears, etc.), or situations. Examples of types of fetishes and fetishistic practices may include, but are not limited to:

• bestiality, necrophilia, incest, and voyeurism

Google may consider something to be a sexual aid, device, or enhancement tool if it is used for sexual pleasure and/or to improve sexual experiences. This includes, but is not limited to:

• sexual toys such as vibrators, dildos, personal lubricants
• penis and breast enlargement tools and/or medications
  Note: Certain medications used to treat conditions like erectile dysfunction fall under our prescription drug policy.

Is this what's causing site-lag for me?

No - start a new thread with the issue and we can look into it.

Roger.

Even roger could be suggestive, or is it just American type slang?

Not sure I’d ever breach these rules, but it does seem a bit rich that we are ruled by advertising, which is one of the most warped industries going.

Sccroll to the bottom of any page and see what comes up, saucy bigfooty threads from years ago


A quick look at the bulldog players thread would easily flout the rules yet it’s the new layout which is laying temptation, and tempting you to bump threads which is also anti social. A good trade off would be to reduce the advertising which can be way over 50% per page

 

[OffTheBit]

Does this mean the ads that make me look like a peterfile or swinger for anyone looking over my shoulder will be removed as well?

We might be onto something here. We tolerated this for a long time and now there’s ‘morals’ in advertising?

Do something guys
