View Full Version : Should we ban Adult Content on Ozhonda



wynode

Hi all,

There's been some concern raised lately about the appropriateness of adult content on Ozhonda.

It is not allowed anywhere except for the lounge where such threads must have an R18+ icon (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26463) in order to warn users of possible adult content.

So I put the question to you..........should we ban all adult content from Ozhonda? Or should we just leave things as it is and allow it only in the lounge.

This includes, nude images (such as the hot chicks thread), any discussions to do with sex or pornography and anything else that might be sexually offensive.

If you're not sure then post here and don't vote just yet.



DO NOT vote for the last option (it is a place holder).
Votes are not public


Thanks

being a fan and a heavy editer of the hot chkz threads - at max it should be jsut those (2) threads. everything else removed is a step in the right direction.

I think it is important to know what you want this site to be?

Something that appeals to a broad audience, females included? Or something else? I am sure some females would find those threads offensive.

More importantly, many people would access Ozhonda in work places. The R18 threads is one of the reasons why I would never open Ozhonda at work. Even with the R18+ tag the fact that the site has those threads would be contrary to my work IT policy. Most big corporates would have similar policies to where i work.

Btw - putting this question to a vote is not going to achieve anything. Removing such content would never be a popular decision.

yoram, why dont u just not click on the only two 18+ threads that last for more than a min at the top of the lounge?

or just avoid the lounge all together??

i browse ozhonda at work and at uni all the time as well as at home

i just dont click those threads when im not at home

dont be such kill joys....

they are harmless threads that are well moderated

i think it's fine how it is. the adult content we allow on the site is quite lame compared to even a google search on anything with the safesearch feature turned off.

as long as the threads are clearly lableled and have the R18+ i dont see the problem. if anyone enters the threads it is at their own discression.

also if you shouldn't be looking at naughty things at work don't enter the threads. even going by the thread titles there is no surprise what's in them!

From what I can take it, probably 99% of users are over 18. Any content which is for over 18ers is marked as such. So I know not to click on anything with an 18+ icon at work. Simple. Sorted.

Why change it? If a minority dont want to see it, they can not click on it?

the R18+ warning is sufficient.
any pics showing more nudity then what is allowed should be atleast infracted.


so am i allowed to talk dirty in these threads? or will i get a 10 point infraction and get banned.
if a member posts 'vulgar' comments in large font without some sort of prior warning (like the R18+ icon), the member should be infracted.

i dont think its just limited to just the hot chicks and asian girl threads. There are other threads there that have R18+ across them. I just think so long as there is correct labelling of the thread or sufficient warning of what the thread contains, then there shouldnt be a problem.!

i think an easy way to fix this is to have the provision of a filter in your user CP that can filter out all R rated stuff then as a user u should have no way to be offended at all...

and if there is anything offencive its up to the modds to apply the correct filter to the post or thread

there fixed both ways !!

its not just the images. what if a female coworker walks past and he happens to see the thread title "hot chicks"? she could get offended by it and make a formal complaint. if the member has the option to hide any thread with the R18 icon it would be better.

I Vote for the return of the "reccomend a good Brothel" Thread, to this date it has been the most informative/popular adult thread that provided a good service to all the honda motoring community & was also a place were memebers could feel comfortable talking with one another about their different experiances & encounters with the opposite sex. there were never any racy photos posted within the brothel thread and language was kept pretty clean.

Or another suggestion would be to have an all pupose SMUT thread where members can post anything got to do with anything Adult. it can be called SMUT & have the r18+ incon attached so as co-workers walking past your screen wont know what SMUT is and their will be a central location for all the members pornographic needs, think of this new thread to be kinda like the /b/ folder for OZ Honda!

I think the forum has alot more potential, we need to push to limits to find oput exactly how much potential, best case scenario, have a few new threads pop up, alot of new members join becuase of the wide variety of content, mods charge more for advertising so that keeps them happy and everyone gets on happily ever after. worst case scenario it backfires, we loose a few newcomers but the bulk of members are still around!~

AHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH ****ING DARREN LAWL

nah but even saying "only have 2 R18+ threads" is ridiculous, how bout the lambo and the girls! That shit should be NWS, but because of this new rule must it be deleted?

I think R18+ content should be kept a minimum, but should be allowed. What's a better combination then good looking girls and cars?
Would this ban mean no more pics that made you lol thread, as that too can become NWS?

I say keep it how the system is currently, a forum that is based on cars with some offtopic things to keep the community happy :) I like grims suggestion where you can select an option to not be able to view R18+ threads if you are in a situation at like work. If that's not feasible then our current system is totally fine, don't want to look at it, don't click it.

If you remove those two it will be the final step, this place will become JDMST by default and things will go down hill from there.

My comments are not in relation to JDMST however the lounge isn't the main focus of this site. The main focus is the cars and sharing car related info. So I don't think that by removing two threads in the OT area the site will go down hill (if anything it might help flush out the people who spend all their time in the OT area.

If you were being sarcastic....then my bad for not turning on my sarcasm detector :p


lol come on, are you serious? is this really something the forum should be concerned about???? surely this scenario has never occured anywhere in the world, because I would be VERY shocked, if anybody could be offended by a title...

03-08-2009, 02:44 PM
Well it IS OzHONDA after all, the main focus of the site is to be about cars and information pertaining to cars.

I don't know about Wyn, but I'd rather keep this as a CAR forum and not try to use adult-content threads to draw in new members.
I think the Hot Chicks thread + the Asian girls thread are more than enough, but trying to promote anything more would just be against what this forum is actually intended for and would certainly draw the wrong kinds of people here.

When I first joined this forum, it was all about Hondas. There was no off topic section, there was no need for the 18+ icon and there was no need to scan through tons of posts to look for posts against the T&C, because it was all about Honda. Now that the forum has somewhat "diversified", it is much more difficult to look after, while keeping all the content within T&C and also not breach any laws on the material posted up here. We are set up to run this place well as a Honda forum, but not as good as an offtopic forum.

just make your decision and deal with the backlash ffs.

if you continually pander to what people want you'll end up with more of an uncontrollable monster and everyone will end up pissed off anyway.

i mean i find it stupid that there's 18+ on threads and you can't see vagina but seeing breasts and back pussy's is ok?

either you say, yeah sure its ok for pics of naked chicks or not - if its ok for naked chicks then its ok for vag.

if it's not ok, then there's no vag and no back pussy's and no ****.

just make the decision and stick to it.

relying on the community to make an enlightened decision is going to be counter-intuitive because people always want decisions that suit their self interests.

it's like how in california they've effectively bankrupted their government because the govt in CA cannot raise taxes or fees yet are also expected to provide more services.

I won't say but they've been infracted.

yf, reason for creating this poll is because there were some complaints that we should be consistent and ban all adult content. It came up before with the brothel thread where we almost got rid of the hot chicks threads and were planing on stopping any adult content.

Before making the decission though we wanted to check with the members, hence the poll.

Results seem quite clear but I'll leave this open for a bit longer.

Guys please only reply back if you have constructive comments.

Think about it females always talk about their or someone else ****, its a woman thing so i wouldnt ban it casue its not hurting anyone.. but i will say ban full porn pics with the ladies hole :)

to tell u the truth, it wouldn't affect my browsing habits of ozhonda if all adult content was banned, so win u can act USA style(unanimously/dictatorially, sorry couldnt help but be political) or be democratic

i'll be the first to say though, keep it strictly to those two threads, any other explicit content must be scrapped

and if people continue to ignore this rule and adult content spirals out of control, then go right ahead and delete all adult content, though i will save prob save both threads before they are deleted, lol

Yes, mods can see it and will consider it as abuse of the system if you are chronic repeat offenders. So I'll close both eyes for this round, but any more that pop up will get the usual spam infraction. :)

its not just the images. what if a female coworker walks past and he happens to see the thread title "hot chicks"? she could get offended by it and make a formal complaint. if the member has the option to hide any thread with the R18 icon it would be better.


lol come on, are you serious? is this really something the forum should be concerned about???? surely this scenario has never occured anywhere in the world, because I would be VERY shocked, if anybody could be offended by a title...

Spastic you are naive. Work in HR for 5 minutes and you will see that sexual harrasment complaints are made for exactly what joyride is talking about. And those cases HAVE been won by complainants and the employer has paid $$$ as they are vicariously liable. Look for cases relating to a sexually charged - or intimidating workplace and you will see what I mean.

If your looking at a forum at work, its your own fault. Yes you might be able to get done for sexual harassment but whats stopping someone from posting goatse and you opening it before a mod deletes it?

I don't really see the problem with the current system, keep the stuff to the two current threads (and the funny pics thread to a lesser extent) and delete anything that breaks the rules. The off topic sections are always going to require more moderation but if the level of moderation required is becoming too much just add a few more mods.

The one thing I don't agree with is the people myspace/facebook stalking and posting pics. Obviously its impossible to police but I think anyone caught doing it should get hit pretty hard with the ban hammer....

y am I naive? is it supposed to be NORMAL for someone to get offended by 2 words which say "hot chicks"? if the 2 words whre "fvck ni99ers" and a black guy walked past then yeh, but wtf?

in relation 2 people getting annoyed over pics, then hell yeh, i'd get annoyed if i walked past and had 2 c goatse on a workers PC i would defntly complain, so i wont argue with the pics side of things, but for words? lol the justice system has lost the plot, to many people looking for desperate ways to make money, remind me of eddie murphy in raw "No, I didn't actually fight, but I was there watchin and it was a discotheque and a strobe light fell off the ceiling creating a weird effect with the mirror and I saw this and my eyes were sprained, it sprained the eyes, and I need 12 million for my sprained eyes."

If you dont like the nudity, dont go in the thread.
to those who think a car forum should only be about cars you are right, but this is a community of honda owners, it is much bigger and more diverse and lets all car owners (honda owners and non honda owners) share their knowledge and experiences with other owners while letting you interact and enjoy each others "company". yes some people like looking at B(.)(.)bies but thats a decision they make for themselves, and not others to decide for them. (within tasteful disgression)

You mean a dedicated babes thread like we do? Easy. Acurazine.com. They have some threads with pics of girls in there, but they are from autoshows or car photoshoots. They are not dedicated threads like the ones here. Oh and they have:

This comment takes me back to my point i made some time ago about the only people that care about this are a minority in the great scheme of things, it seems to me that only 1 in every 15 OH members is against adult threads, which also brings me to say why is the minority getting their way??

The minority is not getting anything , all they are getting is a thread asking for the majorities thoughts on the subject.

well those minority shouldnt look at that section in the forums. isnt the lounge section there for anything goes chit chat?

in all honesty, its not hurting anyone unless it goes way overboard and that he or she isnt going the restricted threads during work. all comes down to common sense

to me, it's all fine and dandy until it becomes sexually explicit, such as when genitalia is exposed.

to me the acid test is if it's something that can't be shown during watershed hours on the tele, then it can't be on the forum.

geezz.. its not like people on the forum are posting gif's or porn or anything its just topless babes.

i dont see anything wrong with boobies.. if ur a sook and you dont wanna see this kinda material , simple dont click on the fricken link!

and if u get busted viewing these threads at work etc,well its your own fault for lacking common sense.

there's an 18+ icon for a reason...

if people are stupid enough to visit a thread with this icon knowing that they get offended by such content then they have NO GROUNDS TO COMPLAIN!

the icon is there as a warning and an advisory. life is full of choice... make your choice and DEAL WITH IT!!

Nicely put terryansimon.

Like kraie said that is why we have the R18+ icon for use in the lounge. Just a reminder that this is mentioned in the T&C under clause 8.


8. Posting of any adult content (eg adult jokes) is only allowed in “The Lounge” and where such a thread is made, you must use the 18+ ‘Post Icon’. Details on how to attach this icon are found within a sticky thread in “The Lounge” forum.

Some good comments. Seems the result is clear but I will keep this opened as said in the first post.
