Who is this getting censored for btw?
I never got reasons for forums censoring stuff. I mean I can imagine forums like disney or other stuff like that, but come on, what is it accomplishing here?
If a person doesn't want to click a link, that's fine. If he/she wants to, that's cool, at his/her own risk. Nobody is guiding anyone's hand to click the links...
Or is it about instilling the website's moral values and/or upholding the decency of the site?
Not criticizing here, just want to know why.
Generally, NMA is supposed to be a PG-13 board. It caters to all audiences and all ages...of course, there are a lot of things on here of an adult nature (ie - cursing, the "Who do you think is more sexy?" thread, a lot of the debates, themes of threads in general), but we do like to keep it as clean as we can when we can.
Sites like Rotten, Goatse, Tubgirl, and the like, are meant to offend, and are meant to be disgusting. There's no need to have them on our board...we're not here to promote offensive material, after all. I'd hate to lose even one NMAer because they didn't know what Goatse was, clicked on it, threw up, then never came up because they felt NMA was becoming a cesspool of filth. It's just not worth it.
Yes, sometimes we moderators do go a bit overboard, but we try to do what we think is right, and best for NMA (and in my case, The Order).
If you ever have a problem or complaint, PM Rosh about it.
Besides, it's gone now, anyway.
