Exactly what is in the new forum guidelines. The wording was copied from the law.

I have very biased views about this new law and I'm trying to find answers without subjecting you to my personal beliefs so if I'm curt, it's me trying not to

Lil, from the little bit of research I've done since reading the post(s), I guess what most members (at least, in my opinion) are concerned about is a) what does it mean for past posts here, and b) what about the future of picture posts? From what I read in the forum guidelines, it appears that a good deal of the pictures already here at Pixies are no longer allowed. (Unless I'm totally reading things wrong, and it's entirely possible.)

<---is looking for answers as well.

Yes you are correct that as of now pics (this includes avatars as well) can only be posted that meet the US legal guidelines (which fucking sucks a big one) OOPS! If you read the guidelines carefully you will see that we must remediate problems with any REPORTED posts. I am seeking information as to how old pic posts should be handled to protect both the site and our owners. As for now, I'm not doing anything until I have a clear understanding of what the owners need me to do.

Keeping in mind that the pics are a minor portion of a text based erotica forum, I feel there are still plenty of opportunities for us to share ourselves with eachother in an intimate albeit digital way.

Oh sure I just find my way back to posting and I see this:

"- Legally, we can allow soft nudity, but under current United States law, photographs (does not apply to non-photographic images) posted on this site may not contain "sexually explicit conduct", which the government defines as:

- Actual or simulated:
(A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(B) bestiality;
(C) masturbation;
(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person."

Well breaking 3 out of 5 ain't a bad personal accomplishment, with plans on hitting that (A) category soon, as close to bestiality as I get is doing it doggy style.

Well I'll just keep providing the pics, if I break the law you can handcuff me, spank me, and post pictures of THAT. muahahaha

Any new post that break the forum guidelines are subject to deletion.

If I understood correctly ...

no penises
no vaginas
no real or simlulated sex

okay rear ends
okay side views that don't show genitals
okay breasts/chests
okay artwork (not photos) that we have the right to publish (even if it violates the "no's" above

Does that sound like a fairly close summary???

Does anybody know the schedule for when this government will start the book burning and ‘relocation programs’?




(no appropriate smilies available for puking nausea, total disgust, total shame or genuine fear for a populous.)

LOL...ummmmmm until the first legal challenges we won't know the definitions for sure but follow the guidelines as written. My understanding is genitals as part of nudity ok but not in close up masturbatory or "sexually explicit". I read a post in a webmaster forum that said, "don't touch nothin' "

LOL. Thanks, Lil!

PF ... What if they promise to relocate you to a panty factory??

DB I think you naked in the park is still legal so long as you are only frolicking with the flowers.

it's only illegal if there are no records kept? did i read that right? (ty for that link IAKG)so obviously on a site(s) that guarantees/allows/understands peoples’ need for anonymity, this is this sticking point? this is why it’s no longer possible to post pictures containing the specified no-no’s?
