Topic: New Forum Descriptions

[Elvi]

Elliquiy began with Elven Maiden in NCNF... For that reason alone, there it will stay, I think. Not many people get a stick up their butt about pointy ears.

Now it is in 'Human-Freeform Big Games'
Which is, why I say, the term is confusing...

I agree..beastiality is not really extreme..unless of course the beast devours the human after?

As people have been pointing out, to me, when I say anything, which is of course true, that is in your opinion.
To most (if you look at the ons and offs), they feel differently.

I would really like to know who's opinions we are actually using.


(And before everyone jumps at me, I actually believe that there should be no 'extreme' board. If it is allowed on site, then it should be allowed in with the other categories. I find it strange that those who have pushed for the rules change now want to place these fetishes somewhere that dictates that they are in some way abhorant or dirty.)

[Sherona]

I didnt push for a rule change, though I supported it. I think the extreme boards are good simply because some people are completely grossed out by things like Necrophillia, scat and what not..On the same level as some can not stomach non-con.


Your argument about Beastiality belonging in extreme I suppose does hold some water..but I have seen quite a few list beastiality as an On too.. *shrugs* I don't know about percentages of who doesnt and who does.

[Elvi]

I'm not argueing for beastiality to be placed in extreme Sherona. I am discussing the point, that if something is allowed on the site, then it doesn't need to have another place for it.

We already have categories for 'light' 'medium' and 'heavy' and the break downs of those categories, so why add more?

And I have just done a quick search, putting in 'beastiality', there was only one that listed beastiality as an 'on'.

However, please let us not get bogged down with one theme that was given as an example, there are others that could be sited.

Having thought on it, wouldn't it be far better to have a 'tag' on each game.
For example:
In the dungeon ( Elvi and .....) [Caution possible Gore]

[Moondazed]

While I can see where the newly allowed topics fit into the categories of consensual and non-consensual, I can also see the logic of adding at the very least new categories within each of those headings for the new threads to be put in.  The things we're discussing haven't been here before.  That doesn't make them anything more than new in my book, but they weren't allowed before because they're perceived as more than distasteful by so many people.  Separate forum?  It makes sense as another option. I don't think that integrating things like scat and vore in the current categories is a good plan.  Putting a label on a thread would address the issue, but it seems like putting the thread in a place where that's what's expected is easier and less maintenance in the long run.

[Elvi]

As I have said, many things here have been distasteful to many people previously, these are just one or two more to add to that and for people to be aware of.

What more maintenance would there be, the fetishes in question are now 'legal', so they would Be no more moderation than any other thread or game.

[NightBird]

Here is the latest version of brief Board Descriptions. Please note that each description is fewer than 255 characters for their use in SMF functions and the roleplaying forum descriptions were drafted to be as similar as possible to each other for consistency.

Specific suggestions for the content of each board description are welcome, as is comment on whether there should also be a longer description of each board on a separate webpage in the Home section (not the forums). If you want to debate the definition or distribution of the content for each board (like a hermaphrodite being placed in 'Exotic' rather than 'Human'), please raise that discussion on this thread. Thanks!

[updated to adjust board titles and content to new terminology]
