Posting obscene content could cost us our forum.

We don't need no steenkin' rules. But our free hosting service has a few you should know about.

Posting obscene content could cost us our forum.

You folks take a look at this link when you get a chance.

Porn prohibited link

This is a link to the freeforums.org support page into a thread dealing with porn being posted.

One of the providers' prohibitions is against "Adult content/obscene content"

Now, as we all know, not even the US Supreme Court has successfully defined what "obscene" means, and "Adult content" suffers from similar definitional infirmity. Look through that link I provided, and see what you think. Discretion might be the better part of valor if you have doubts about whether something is acceptable or not. It could cause us to lose our whole forum if you push things too far. And they will simply delete our forum without notice if they consider us to have violated their posting rules.

Your judgment's as good as mine on this; I'm not going to censor anything unless I get a courtesy notice from freeforums on it. On another forum, a nice rack was considered by a mod to be "soft porn." I don't agree. Cosmopolitan puts worse stuff on their covers. But I don't think, from what I read, that freeforums would agree with her either.
