New site rules please read chaps.

Supermods Statement

In consultation with the owner ..... Brb & Minxy have stated

• Mods need to remove any porn / nudity posts & links from their boards
• We will ask that mods carry out this request on their individual boards.
• If you don’t know how – ask
• If there are lots – we can permanently delete whole threads if asked
• Failure to do so, then we will
• If mods do not wish to carry out these duties, they need to resign & new mods will need to be appointed
• Any members that decide they wish to break the new forum rules will be banned for a minimum of 72 hours, increasing with each ban.
• Members that decide they want to throw abuse in the direction of the administration team will also be removed
• Mods please put a warning notice on your boards about the new changes – including the ban warning

Just to clarify the owner's position on this;

The problem with porn is not an ethical thing (for me anyway) - Google keeps punishing us in search rankings, the ads that pay the server bills keep getting suspended, a mobile phone network consortium has threatened to block us on 3 of the biggest mobile networks (unless users specifically opt in to porn) and the British Board of Film Classification have been sending threatening emails about content saying they are going to rate us an adult site. It's just more effort than it's worth at the minute. I'll create password protected boards for those who haven't already got one and want one (although some of the more severe content in some of these boards will probably need addressed at some point!).

I've already been trying to clean up General Chat (which is some bloody job) but it needs to be done, as me trying to introduce technical solutions (such as hiding images to guests) ends up breaking the site because the code and cache system is that convoluted. Maltese Mick
