PROBOARDS KNOWS WE EXIST.

And they're cracking down on content. =/

When I signed up to create this forum, I agreed to the site rules, one of which was No Adult Content. I sort of forgot about this rule. ProBoards sent me a PM last night to remind me about it.

This is a copy of the PM they sent me:

ProBoards does not permit the posting of adult material. Your forum appears to be in violation of this policy. We ask that you please remove all offending content from your forum within 48 hours.

I've already taken down the content on the three threads they mentioned. Swearing seems to be kosher, but pr0n is not. (Not even of the crack variety.) If you've posted anything that could be considered NC-17, it might be best if you host it off-site and link it to us instead. From now on the new rule shall be as thus:

If posting NC-17 fic/art, host it off-site and link it. Make sure no links/file names include any words that would imply pr0n. As always, the rules for warning for NC-17 content apply to links as well, but spoilers obviously will no longer be necessary.

Thanks for your understanding, guys. I know it's a bummer. I willingly take responsibility for the hassle, considering I should have asked from the start for you to host NC-17 content off-site.

WITH MANY MANLY TEARS OF APOLOGY,
Sister Pahzullah

...I love how most of that was my fault. XD

This sucks.

[PuzzleChick]

Aww, Tara, we love you. ;~; You didn't mean any harm. *hugs* Really it's my fault for being all "lol who cares~" about the rules in the first place. xD

[taranova]

I sorry.

It just occurred to me...does this mean that they have someone reading every bit of our threads? o.o

^ I'm pretty sure it was a bot or a random sweep - there's no way they have enough staff to appoint a designated Big Brother for every forum. Maybe it's review time, and we were randomly selected due to shit luck? ANYWAY NO WORRIES, NO ONE IS AT FAULT HERE EXCEPT THE THOUGHT POLICE. FUCKING FUTURE. WILL SMITH WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU?!?!?!?

At any rate, @proboards: BOO YOU DEVIL WHORE /Mean Girls, please don't smite me oh Unholy Dictators on High

[PuzzleChick]

GODDAMNIT, FUTURE. I THOUGHT WE WERE ON GOOD TERMS AGAIN. SOMEONE SUMMON WILL SMITH.

No, really, I'm 99% sure it was a bot. Because it picked up on keywords either in text or in the link to a picture, but pictures with normal filenames weren't noted, despite possibly being NSFW. So yeah, friggin' bots. B|
