: 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
A tough subject to tackle to say the least.
I have no problem with adults using avatars with
FFN, and I have no problem with sites being members of
the GUILD either.
The problem lies in how to splinter the GUILD
in this direction and make it an adult only
area with access to adults exclusively.
Do we password protect it? How do we verify the users age?
Do we suffer the slings and arrows of the anti-porn forces?
Is it worth the bother? Do we require the sites to
have "adult check" or "cyber nanny" type walls?
Frankly, we're probably best off leaving it off
the GUILD and saving the trouble, but if it is to be
included, I think those are legitimate stumbling
blocks to overcome, and I find no simple solution
coming to mind.
