The gist of it is that if a picture has bare nipples, bare genitals, etc. then take a moment to censor those things before posting.
Nipples poking through a shirt, camel toe poking through leggings, etc. are ok. Bare skin of nipples, genitals, is not.
Examples of acceptable content under this policy:

Hilarious.
No posting tits or pussy pics. Yet the entire page is now bloated with stupid ads showing all kinds of ass. Granted, they're nice asses. But i think it's fucking hilarious that our content can't show tits or pussy, but the ads can show all kinds of ass. Plus there's a recurring "Male Enhancement" ad that shows a large close up pic of a finger with gel on it. The photo clearly resembles the head of a penis, that's the intent.
The ads here are deliberately constructed to grab your attention and for shock value. We have advertisements with ass pics all over the place; plus a simulated dickhead pic, ON MY FUCKING OFFICE COMPUTER, and we can't post titties or coochie.
Um. OK.

Honestly, I didn't give a shit because @redpillschool needs to recover his costs somehow, and the advertising service said "no nudity".
But yeah, the hypocrisy is jarring and annoying.
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
First off, I am equally annoyed with the finger+gel thing. It looks terrible.
Secondly, the content policy here allows for anything you've seen in the ads to also be in your content. The nice asses in our ads are fair game for your posts.
And finally, if it bothers you that much, for a limited time only, I'll permanently disable ads for anybody who joins the "Alpha Bro" tier of our patreon for at least one month. Send me a PM.

Nice, just what we need more censorship... [/sarcasm]

I knew this day would come. This is the first new rule of many more to come.
I have yet to find a forum that did not go the route of censorship. And it always starts with something seemingly understandable like this.
But nipples? Really?
This is the beginning of the end. You heard it here first.
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
The nudity thing was already a soft rule we were enforcing and my lawyer agrees the benefit from having porn doesn't really offset the liability and many risks (revenge porn, copyright, underage / age verification). Even big sites like pornhub got caught with child porn and the easiest way to prevent it with little capital is simply don't allow porn at all rather than dig into whether tiny tits look 17 or 18. We don't have a legal defense fund. Send me $500,000 and you can post all the nipples you want. Otherwise, this is the best way to prevent liability.
Given my track record and, frankly, the sheer cost of this platform to me- both monetarily and time consumption, I think I've proven myself as a trustworthy partner in preventing censorship.
Our ad agency asked us to cement the no-porn rule, and I believed it to be a good decision. I told the mods here, and I've been quite public about this, we won't be sacrificing editorial control to ad agencies. I'd rather pay for this out of pocket for the rest of my life than do that. But porn just doesn't have a place here.

I never said I disagree. it is just that the same justifications you just gave (which are completely reasonable) will be used when the next issue comes up.
That's just how this works. I have seen entire platforms go down over being too lax (Voat.co) and too strict (Answerology.com) Both great places when they existed - but the overall pattern seems to be Reddit. Slowly choke off the early content creators and demonize them in the name of preventing CP or whatever.
This is not a direct attack on you. Honestly I don't think you have much of a choice. And you will soon find out, if you don't know already, who makes these decisions (hint - it is not you)
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
I have one ace up my sleeve that I believe will maintain operations. I will pull ads if they ever try to make editorial calls. I have enough money to run this indefinitely without an additional stream of income. Of course, seeing as the budget is increasing, I do want to get ahead of it if I can as it grows, but at the end of the day, the buck stops with me.
deeplydisturbed FDS Dinner Donor 2y ago
Thank you for taking the time to respond. You should know from previous communication that I am a supporter.
I am just fed up with the never ending splintering and diaspora of men's online spaces. I wish you well.

If @redpillschool gets enough donors, he won't need advertisers.
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
Thanks. I don't think this rule change will affect much that happens here but I want the rules to be clear.
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
Just saw my flair. Thanks guys.
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2y ago
I did that like a month ago.
Are you losing your eyesight already?
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
There's a bug that doesn't show the flair when you post the comment until you refresh and view it later. I'm like a cool guy walking away from an explosion. I post, close the tab, and never look back.

Ok. What is the policy about boobs like @typo-magashiv?
redpillschool Everybody tag him 2y ago
He must keep himself covered in shame at all times.
moorekom Urban Hoe Guerrilla 2y ago
He knows no shame.
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2y ago
I'm ashamed of you both.
@redpillschool - vcards on forum comments - when?!
moorekom Urban Hoe Guerrilla 2y ago
I am going to tag @goodmansaysfuckyou, @deeplydisturbed so we can properly mock you, you coin-slinging ape.
goodmansaysfuckyou Big Dick Energy Misogynist 2y ago
@typo-magashiv spends more coin than my ex wife. Which is saying something since I was starting to consider that she was banging the UPS guy.
deeplydisturbed FDS Dinner Donor 2y ago
Okay, who summoned me!
All I have to say is Leeerroyy Jeeeenkins!
Wait. Wrong thread. Never mind.
What was I saying?
Oh yeah. @Typo-MAGAshiv has an unusually high number of virgin coins to dispense. Make you wonder...
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2y ago
When I publicly bragged that I thought I had the most Chad Coins, @redpillschool dumped 100 Virgin Coins on me.
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2y ago
I have given you a downvote.
FAQ:
what does this mean?
Nothing. It's pretend internet points.
why did you do this?
It seemed like a good idea at the time, and petty vengeance.
why are you such an ASSHOLE?!
Because fuck you, that's why!

That's about 30 seconds I'm not going to get back.
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2y ago
Here goes another 30
moorekom Urban Hoe Guerrilla 2y ago
Oh yeah, I'm also going to tag @redpillschool so he can update your flair as "Coin-slinging ape" or "Coin-slinging gorilla".
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2y ago
I like it
goodmansaysfuckyou Big Dick Energy Misogynist 2y ago
I see examples of what is acceptable but can you and @redpillschool provide examples of what is unacceptable?
Asking for a friend.

You have no friends

Not fucking with @typo-magashiv.
