| Posting Threads |
In addition to the other rules of the site:
Please do not start threads about:
- Nothing - That's what the Shoutbox is for
- Random links - Have a topic in mind
- Super mega gigantic threads
- Politics - It belongs in the Politics forum.
- Extreme content, sexual or disgusting - it belongs in Aarkie's Corner
These threads are too hard to moderate and keep track of and/or they tax the server, especially since you can search thread or forum. Threads will be closed if they get too big. If you start a thread and it's closed or moved to the Thread Graveyard, don't take it personally, we probably have good reasons.

| Acceptable Content |
What am I not allowed to post?
Do not link to or post pictures of:
- anything rated X
- penetration by another, by self or by vegetables, animals or inanimate objects
- masturbation
- hardcore porn
- underage porn or underage sexual content, or any pictures of children in a NSFW area
- anything marketing itself as underage, whether it is or not
- acts that are illegal
- animal cruelty
- horribly disgustingly barfingly gross
The administration reserves the right to make the final decisions regarding definitions of the above.
What should be linked as opposed to posted inline?
Links to content of this nature should be clearly marked and bolded as NSFW/NWS, even in Aarkie's Corner. Only link to something that would be considered rated R. Anything that could be seen in Playboy is okay to link to. Anything rated X does not belong on this site.
Not Safe For Work (NSFW/NWS) is defined as:
- Nudity
- A lot of skin, even if naughty bits are technically covered
- Anything that might be mistaken for nudity if seen from across a 12' room (such as a sheer body suit, or the infamous globe ass girl)
- Large fonts of foul language
What is okay to post?
For posting inline, pictures that would be seen in a major media outlet are okay: network television or magazines that you would see in a doctor's office. It should be at most PG-13.
What about emoticons or smilies?
The general rule is if the emoticon falls under the unacceptable content listed above, then it's not allowed on the site.
Q: So what sexual emoticons are considered safe for work and are okay to post?
A: Those which are anatomical and cartoony ( ), or sexual acts that are NOT instantly recognizable as such. ( )
