Issue regarding the pornographic rule

Wanga · 2019-04-18T21:10:04+00:00

There seem to be two arguments supporting the rule:

You can get that content elsewhere
It would require policing/age-checking that SaidIt doesn't have the staff to do

#1 is clearly bogus. By that rationale, we shouldn't post music here. #2 is a question for a Californian lawyer.

Source:

"No pornography. Not because we are against it, per se, but it's more about the legal troubles associated with housing this type of content. It's better for the longevity and quality and legal safety of the site not to have it here. There's plenty of porn on reddit and voat and around the rest of the internet, so go there instead if you're interested in that type of content."

Source2:

"No pornography. It's too much trouble to monitor and there's no shortage elsewhere."

People getting their heads chopped off is okay.

Good-looking female bodies are the real threat.

I'm skeptical of arguments that claim everyone who argues against them online is a government agent.

OP is correct in saying that porn subs won't interfere with/affect thought-provoking discussion on other subs.

Why did you link to this weird shit instead of directly to https://file.wikileaks.org/file/

Reddit may have "taken its first step against adult content", but Saidit already went full Tumblr.

Commenting to voice my support for what OP is saying.

What is the community's consensus?

Emperor Haile Selassie I:

That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; That until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.

I mean a total ban on all adult content

I think maybe we need a longer list of social norms/guidelines.

Wikipedia has the strongest, most resilient culture of any major web platform. It gets stronger as everyone else decays. I think part of the reason is that they have a long wiki list of guidelines, so they can say, "You're using weasel words", or whatever specific violation people are using.

The pyramid of debate is fine and dandy, but it's not enough to cover all situations.

Wikipedia is a mashup of majority-democracy, consensus-democracy, monarchy, anarchy

Wanga · 2019-04-18T17:08:26+00:00

I don't think we should 'wait' for the userbase to improve before drawing guidelines.

Guidelines should help the userbase improve.

Wanga · 2019-04-18T17:03:02+00:00

There should be.

I'm not sure there's a process to petition for rule-changes.

They're still far better than us on this front

Wanga · 2019-04-19T02:20:58+00:00

or by a cultural taboo against it, like Voat

Wanga · 2019-04-19T01:48:25+00:00

very few positives

Tittays!

And the way people are chilll with each other in porn comments much moreso than political or even music/art comments

Wanga · 2019-12-26T05:31:58+00:00

Thanks women!

I only recognize the girl in the last photo.

Who are the other 8 and what have they said about their childhoods?

Wanga · 2019-04-19T02:09:31+00:00

I hate the way Reddit deletes posts for capricious reasons, e.g. "The title of your submission to /r/todayilearned did not begin with 'TIL'. Your post has been deleted." Makes me ragequit.
