Group Sexy: Rules for Establishing R-Rated Groups

[XLFD]

A member has recently respectfully asked about setting up a group for the display of beautiful images of gals.  I see nothing inherently wrong with the request as long as we can remain within the Terms of Service and keep it private, so that those who may not wish to view such, do not have to.  This is my initial draft of how I think we can make this work, if someone wants to start one.  These standards, slightly adjusted, would also figure in if the gals want one with guys.  Poetry and prose with adult themes could also be considered with these guidelines.   

 

Here is the three terms of service that may apply to the type of content you may not use in the group proposed:

- any content containing child pornography ;
- any content that depicts or contains rape, extreme violence, murder, bestiality, incest, or other similar content;
- any content that constitutes pornography, contains nudity, or is adult in nature.

 

Presuming the models are of age (18) and not engaging in any sexual or extremely violent act (both being a must for this group to continue), we really need only to define what 'nudity' entails.  State law defines "public nudity" as knowingly or intentionally displaying in a public place any individual's genitals or anus with less than a fully opaque covering or a female individual's breast with less than a fully opaque covering of the nipple and areola. 

 

Strictly speaking, any woman displayed shall not have her genitals, anus, or nipples uncovered, and visible to the camera's view.  Skimpy bathing suits, lingerie, and suitably photographed 'nudity' which follows the above guidelines will be acceptable. Artwork, animation, anime, and sculpture may be given some further leeway.

 

Likewise this might also apply:  do not post in a manner that is libelous or defamatory, or in a way that is otherwise threatening, abusive, violent, harassing, malicious or harmful to any person or entity, or invasive of another's privacy.

 

Make sure you have the model's permission to display any pictures, and not doing any of the above.  This may not be applicable if we are talking about another site's model, who presumably has already given such consent.  The group leader or administrators may eliminate content which violates any of the above or if it is brought to our attention that some content is copyrighted or goes beyond the rules.  Have a disclaimer in the groups application that reminds those who would join that by applying they confirm they are at least 18 and will comply with any or all rules in the group, if affirmed.  Throw out those who don't play by the rules.  Have fun.

Instead of having the photos directly on this forum couldn't a link be set up to a Flikr account or some other site? I have to agree with the ladies on this one. If this was a "men only forum" it would be a good idea.

[XLFD]

Outsourcing to a subcontractor? Leave our megabytes and searchbots without jobs? That's what's wrong with America today. LOL.

Your proposal isn't without merit, RJE. If someone can arrange such a quick link that may be the way to go. Perhaps a link to one of those free Ning-like platforms-- I know one that isn't seeing much action lately.

Please by all means post some porn - hell I'll do it for you! LOL
READ the TOS of Ning - NO PORN IS ALLOWED ( morons(or dear - I'll be banned for posting porn - gee - will the cops ever find me through an IP ? impossible - that is what Proxies are for you mental midgets
So this is the demise of the Tiki Torch? the males want porn to make their site better? Wow you all have grown so much

[XLFD]

Demise, no. Porn, definitely not; which you would have noticed was already stated in the original post. You may have noticed that if you read anything other than your own blather.

Keep thinking your defenses are invincible, AV. As it is you are creating more evidence of your lawlessness and insanity each day.

DONT. FEED. THE. TROLLS.

[charlemagnetism]

to feed or not to feed that is the question.

to quote the immortle bard once again as regards the loco troll.

he comes here and makes much ado about nothing. out damn spot.

[charlemagnetism]

i welcome one and all into the 2nd yr of the ludington torch and the openning of my new group.  the torch lounge.  this is a gentlemenses group that may feature racy images and tales that may offend those in the regular area and so is a closed group whos applicants need to declare they are 18 or older and understand this simple concept.  this is for entertainment only and will try to adheer to all tos issues and what the govner has oultined above.  apply now.

[XLFD]

This group will be tolerated if used in the manner as described above in the thread head.  Charlemagnetism has convinced me of his restraint and patience, and hopefully those who join his private group will do the same.  Otherwise, you'll have to deal with the bouncers.

[AQUAMAN]

I thought this idea and group died 3 months ago. Really, I must agree with the gals and say, go elsewhere, this is not a place for 400# crossdressers that love Zebra Javas to suck down. Get your blt & gray poopon jollies elsewhere, imho.

[Mary A.]

Thank you, Aqua. I for one appreciate a true gentleman.

Isn't there some sort of bandwidth issue or something you have to be concerned with, X?  If it catches on and you have a lot of images saved on to there, don't you have to worry about crowding out the rest of what people actually come here for now?

We women should start one with hunky (or chunky) guys that you have to monitor.  I understand the reason why we shouldn't prohibit this, but this could easily get out of control.
