: The question of whether the guild should support sites containing avatars with full frontal nudity,
: has been around for a while now. The new notice board seems the perfect place to start this discussion
: with an aim to come up with several options for a full guild vote. Non-members are welcome to add to
: this and any of the other discussions !
: So should we support sites with FFN ?
: Should we place disclaimers before a visitor is sent to one of these sites ?
: Should we set up a separate guild/section to handle these sites ?
: Your views please
My opinion is that we should NOT let sites in with av's containing full frontal nudity. My reasoning is two-fold. One, kids do visit these sites. Two, most page building sites explicitly restrict the use of nudity and warn these pages will be removed. I don't think it is a good organizational profile to support sites that are here one day then removed by server the next. It would lessen our credibility. It should be our mission to support quality work without having to post restrictions or age advisories.
