What are the board rules for this board?
« on: April 30, 2008, 01:26:55 AM »
I'm assuming no overt pornography, but is swearing allowed?  I rated my show 'explicit' because I swear occasionally as well as describing forensic autopsies etc.

Good question! 

Basically:
  • No overt porn and nothing illegal.
  • Keep it about games
  • Keep the stuff that pushes the limit here

For more detail, I like the description that ESRB Rating uses: 

MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language.

If it seems rules need to be added, we'll look at them, but for now, our golden rule stands here as well as everywhere-- Don't be a Douche.  And when someone else is a Douche, fight with the post, not the person.

Thank you Meg.  I'm hoping for a reply to the e-mail I sent you.

I have a small question.  I actually run a "mature" tabletop game, and some images on the website for it might be considered "overt porn" (full nudity).

I guess my question is... our of curiosity, is linking to a site that might contain such content (but is not primarily dedicated to such imagery) okay?  Or would linking to my campaign forum get me in trouble?

Linking, when in context is fine.  Our hosting site doesn't allow overt porn to be directly on the site.  And though the chance of them finding a random picture or two is rare, I don't want to chance it.

So don't put in your post, but linking to it is fine.  But it must be in context. 

I'm also ok with a mature pbp game too, fyi.
