<~~~~~~~ had all her stuff web site etc on Yahoo closed down by them a while back :o

I know as a rule they don't bother the adult groups, but we, at least those of us in the Incredimail sharing groups, are being notified of a new crackdown. I own one adult group of my own and have not had any notification from Yahoo. So, who's to say if they really are or not. I know a lot of the time these panic alerts go out and make the rounds and turn out to be nothing but smoke. But better safe than sorry, so we're all making sure we have an over 18 age listed on our profiles.

It will be very interesting to see how it all pans out.

I was talking to a friend of mine,and his brother was elected to congress recently,to repesent this district..He said the right wing is out to do as much as it can,while it still can..The thing is..Bush can't run again,but,a lot of other people still can,and they want to get re-elected..Voting is more important than ever..I've emailed every representive I can and voiced my displeasure with this law.People need to get registered,and vote..Bush's own party will turn against him,if we let them know they'll get voted out.Doesn't seem like just that will do anything,but at this particular time of the year,these idiots tend to listen to what people want..True,we're stuck with this for a while,but it can get worse if people just take it,and don't say anything about it..
Here,in Western NY,we just had our County Exec.spend millions of dollars on his friends and family,giving them all jobs..Governor was going to do nothing because they were both Republicans..Gov got flooded with mail,email,and phone calls..This week he installed a control board to oversee the asshole.See,the Gov,is up for re-election..Slam these people with email with return reciept requested,they will listen,at some point..

jseal - you weren't paying attention. :) This wasn't a Q A thread - it was a Political/Rant thread! Your analytical and rational posts were out of place - just count the number of questions and answers and the number of "lets' slam the government" posts.

Palace Guard...this thread was started with the intent of giving me a place to answer member's questions as to how the new site policy will be carried out and what is permissible under our current guidelines. Did you have a question or did you just feel the need to "slam" someone yourself?

:D

The thing that scares me is this part. Think about it, by the very way that this law is set up, the government is trying to "protect" us by getting into all aspects of our life. So I wouldn't be surprised if somebody comes in here with the purpose of finding pictures that violate the guidelines to fine or shut the site down. At this point, both the owners and Lilith (and the other mods) need to play this safe. Good luck, this is not an easy road that we'll be traveling.

I do have a question, do they have a definition of "soft nudity"? Either in the statutes themselves or an accepted one from the legal point of view?

Thanks

not that I've read in any of the statutes...for here it means nudity that does not include explicit sex, masturbation or extreme genital closeups.

But wasnt that because a disgruntled member got all pissy and reported you to yahoo??

Lil--Would the owners be willing to move the site to another host country? Thus by-passing the US laws and protecting themselves for prosecution. and thus allowing those of us who want to post pics of us playing with our partner or ourselves in a more explicit manner may do so.

such as pixies-place.co.uk??? or another country that is more lienient with their adult citizens?

WOW and DAMN!!!

I'm sorry to hear about this and my feelings go out to all you Mods that have to deal with the headache of this.

*trying very hard to go off on a rant myself*
so I guess my brain is in a spin and i dont know what else to say, lol

*big hugs to all the Mods*

I think so...they don't tell you they just pull the plug :D

Pixies used to be located in the UK and had a very similar address. I have no idea idea about relocation. I would not be surprised at all to see a business pop up that caters to US webmasters in this situation.

PalaceGuard,

Looking back at the thread, I can see your point. :o Still, at the time, with a thread heading of “New Picture Posting Q & A”, it seemed like a reasonable thing to do. I didn’t realize that I was causing a problem by doing so.

I’ll have to be more sensitive/selective in the future.
