NSFW / Highly Suggestive Content in Gallery

[Michael]

I've been thinking lately about whether to continue allowing NSFW / highly suggestive content in the gallery (partly because of this topic). Currently we don't allow outright nudity, but we do tolerate some NSFW content and highly suggestive content, and by continuing to allow this, a certain percentage of our users feel like going on the gallery can at times make them uncomfortable. Furthermore, it's often the case that uploading pictures to the gallery is likely to increase instances of predatory behaviour, especially if the pictures are suggestive. Sometimes I click on the gallery, and see some cute girl half naked with her tits bursting out or something, so naturally I click on to her profile (curiosity...?), and notice that a whole bunch of other daddies visited her profile before me, and you know for sure they've all sent friend requests. Maybe they're all friendly and nice, but I can see how that sort of stuff might bring bad attention and make drama more likely.

 

When I look at other places that people in the DD/lg community hang out, it's like almost all of them are highly sexualized in one way or another, and full of NSFW content (Fetlife, Tumblr, subreddits on Reddit, etc), so I think there's already enough places one can go to express themselves in that way. I want this place to feel "different" from other DD/lg/BDSM communities. I think too many communities are so caught up in the sexual side of this, when that's only such a small part of DD/lg. For example, go on Tumblr right now, and type in "ddlg" into the search box; instead of getting useful knowledge and a variety of posts, all you will see are a whole bunch of NSFW gifs and pictures. It's fine to express that, but surely it shouldn't be such a huge focus?

 

Therefore from now on, I've decided that any NSFW or suggestive content is banned from the gallery, and from the entire site. Linking to NSFW or suggestive content is OK, however you have to put a "NSFW" notice on it before you link to it. It's up to the moderators to define what constitutes suggestive content, but probably it'll be limited to content that seems deliberately designed to turn people on. Ultimately if it seems like you're only on here to post half naked pictures of yourself, and to just turn people on, then you'll quickly get yourself banned. This is a forum and community, so please take that elsewhere. If you have any advice or feedback about this, feel free to send me a PM. I'm all ears.

As per above the moderating and administration will begin to clear out the related content.

 

Due to the high volume of images this may take a few days.

 

Also due to the high volume members will not be notified individually that their photos are being removed.
