Limitations on NSFW pictures

[RapeU]

@AdmiralPiet Honest answer: I had a rule change prepared but then gave up ownership over the forum so it was no longer for me to decide. And adjusting those rules was then lost during the transfer. The funny thing is: Just today we talked again about your request and @praetor3d's request from his thread. There will likely be an adjustment soon. As far as I'm concerned, you'd be fine showing off your art. @RapeU What do you think?

I'm on board with changing the rules. The biggest concerns are CSM (Child Sexual Material) along with any content our host says is forbidden. Cloudflare has a scanner for CSM and as long as we have someone actively moderating image usage we'll be fine.

We need to also include an addendum to this that images typically shouldn't be used for story contests since that could easily turn into a "who can find or generate the best picture" contest. Once in a while would be ok if you wanted to present an image of a character, but a story in a story contest shouldn't have multiple images in it.

Yeah having someone moderate images would be nice, also if we were to be hosting images (I still think that is a bad idea with how limited our hosting plan is) I wonder if that would be possible to do with images not showing up until approved, that way we can prevent abuse risks.

Just to be clear:
I did not think of my own art when I made this thread. I know I used that feature, but in Story-Threads it is already covered by the rules and I don't intend to make a gallery here.
I can just point over to Hentai Foundry or Newgrounds.

The motivation to ask came because of the exclusion of discussion threads. For example:
1. Dofantasy Comics overlap in themes with this forum. In discussing stories and authors/artists a promo pic from a comic could ilustrate a point

2. Same in discussing rape scenes from movies. Not everyone has seen every movie so a screenshot might help a lot

3. Bondage/BDSM themes. Better to show a certain position than explaining it.

I also agree with @RapeU that pictures should be excluded or limited from contests
