sex! Sex! SEX!

Okaaaaayyy...

So we're all adults, near as we can figure. So we all are legally entitled to read/write whateverwhatever. So we all play gods, freaky as they come (oh, no pun intended--wait. I can't lie.).

But uh.

Yeaaah.

In the past, a few of you have been all, "What's allowed?" and all that. The standard answer is, basically, fade to black ( Read more... )

Wow, this is kind of funny ( ... )

Thank you, everyone, for your perspectives. I appreciate hearing what you have to say.

I'll be doing some replies to this a little later on in the day, but for now, I'd like to offer a universal invitation to a YIM chat tonight, at 8 CST. I'd love to see, in particular, everyone who's commented here.

I'm not sure if Mod#2 will be coming or not, but I think she and I have discussed this long enough for me to be pretty well aware of her viewpoint, so if she's not able to make it tonight, I'll make sure to do my best to represent her perspective as well.

Everyone who's commented knows my YIM, so just drop me a message to be invited to the chat, if you'd like, around 8 CST (6 Pacific, 9 EST). For those who don't know my YIM, its: Rayne_Kenyon

I look forward to talking to you all personally about this. Again, replies are forthcoming for this post. I'll have them up later on in the day.

With Great Love and Affection,
Nephy

I've gotta say that I'm really ashamed and disappointed in what's going on here.

It's a really simple matter. You tag it, you put a warning. The fucking end.

We didn't say no sex. We just said FUCKING PUT A WARNING ON IT.

You know what? There's always been sex here. There's always been violence, but it's always been in moderation. It's always had something to do with something, be it somebody getting into trouble for it later, or relationships budding. Whatever. It's never been willy nilly sex.

I don't want this to turn into a sex community. If that's what you want, go somewhere else. You don't agree with our rules? Go somewhere else.

DDC started off with NO rules at all. They grew and came into effect as the place grew and we saw the need for them. And that's what we're seeing now. A need for a rule. And that rule is:

PUT A WARNING ON YOUR SEX If that's too hard for you to do? Get out ( ... )

Anger makes my grammar wrong.

And makes me mis-spell crap.

I'm not changing it. But I'm aware of it. So don't bring it up.

I would like to propose that the two-hour rule change just a bit?

Now, I am not sure what privileges a moderator has, but in the even that:

Ex:
I post before bed
They post soon after (hinting at either violence or sexual content)
They go to work
I wake up to see…post is gone

Is it possible to (in worst case scenario where it just has to be deleted), can the mod that does the deleting please copy and paste the post and all comments?

Nothing fancy but saved to a .txt file, players can sort it out when the issue arises and they realize the post has disappeared.

This is not me agreeing or disagreeing with the rule but just me, a player, who is trying to adjust to them.

Thank you

Let's make the two hour rule for during the day. If it's like... after 5, when people are normally home from the types of jobs they'd be looking at pr0n at.

But during 8am-5pm, I think the two hour rule is reasonable. Or, you can even leave a note on your last post in an OOC comment that it *will* be changed. And we'll leave it alone.

Is it wrong that I looked purely because this post SAID sex a lot?

*Looks both ways, grins*

I'm for the rule, personally in any other community I have been, and am in, we always had to warn anyway, or go to a private place/chat/whathaveyou.

Like, if it's a CHAT post (Say Hera and Zues did one in AIM)

It'd get labled before the LJ Cut

Characters: Queen Mun, and King Mun
Where: in the backseat of a chevy!
When: omg leik yesterday
Rating: NC-17 FOR OMIGOSH FORNICATION!

(insert cut here)

It made it simple, and I loved it.

So yes. Yes Yes Yes. *thumbs up*

Lethe: I never get sex anyway.. *mutter*

Okay, sorry about not getting back to these replies. Had a lot of thinking to do, generated by a lot of conversation in the afore-mentioned chat held on Tuesday night.

First, thank you everyone for giving different perspectives. It's greatly appreciated, and taken to heart.

Second, the idea was floated that it would be a good idea to do summaries for tagged posts, as a rule. You who were there for that conversation thought that was reasonable. We do too. So there's that.

Third, there was a lot of confusion about whether or not these posts are being censored for content. That's exactly what they're not being, to the chagrine of some and the joy of others. Hey, can't please everyone.

Fourth, plot. You guys use common sense. The disclaimer was just that - a 'just in case', which had to be said, even though I doubt it was necessary. Think about the "Caution: the beverage you are about to enjoy is hot" comments on your coffee cups. It's like that.

Again, thanks for your participation. It's greatly appreciated.
