ATRL: Changes to ATRL policy - Page 6

RomanNavy

Omg I'm gonna be like Nicole from now on. Perched in SYG for the rest of my time on ATRL. Who would've thought.

But like make at least ONE blog with a warning before entering where we can do whatever we want

like this diary thing sounds lame and boring.

The blogs were a mess so this is probably a good idea. And I'm glad about the new avatar rule, I've been tired of looking at some certain people's avi's.

I think considering the fact a lot of people on this site are still in high school these changes were probably necessary.

I guess I just don't get why there can't be an age requirement for viewing the more "adult" posts. Now there's essentially nowhere to discuss adult topics and, considering roughly 60% of this site is LGBT and a lot of LGBT people have don't have outlets to discuss this stuff IRL, this leaves nowhere to discuss more mature topics unique to the LGBT community here. I mean, sure, you could always join another, more permissive site, but I guess I just don't see why that should be necessary.

Some of the blogs certainly were getting out of hand, but I didn't really think it was any of the "dirty" blogs that were the problem.

There was a time when it wasn't about leaking nudes and using dumbass racial slurs.

I hate the people who say such disgusting things in there.

V3$$3L.

The fact that this site was built on both characters on pop stars willing to shock and push the envelope...that later gave way to stan wars and the messy queens that partake in them, like...what are you even doing?

Whose resume is ATRL going on? I've said enough; let me not get a two-pointer for disagreeing.

Mainstream sources (album covers, music videos, etc) are not excluded from this rule.

Time to get rid of those disgusting DWYW avatars.

There have always been rules against explicit content, but the violations have gotten out of hand. We're trying to get ATRL back to its core function: a pop music forum that is appropriate and enjoyable for all of our members.

I think we need a good server to do that

What's next? SYG because you don't want to corrupt the minds of the innocent children?

Exactly, SYG is viewable to guests and is not appropriate and is just a place to drag with no discussion so might as well get rid of it as well

And since you are here for once when is this update to the server coming?

Weren't you the one who came in the Dirty Talk blog and started making fun of everyone in there for not having sex in the real world? Why do you care about what happens to that blog?

The only people who used Blogs for that are the people who think Your Top Ten and Games are a cool thing to be involved with. Get real, Blogs is for drags, leaking nudes and using dumbass racial slurs. Always was and always will be.

Wait that's a valid point, how can y'all be getting strict with the rules on being suggestive + nudity (in a members only section of the forum) yet have a thread open (SYG) where people can openly insult and tell celebrities to kill themselves. (which is accessible to guests and non-members). Where is the justice? Close SYG!

Bish don't even try it. SYG is one of the few things good about this site.

I'm glad that the blogs are being more closely moderated(although I don't like how you can't even have sexually explicit content if it's wrapped in warning tags. That does literally nothing at all but piss people off.)for the fact that people can get really unnecessarily mean towards other members in there.

Also, would avi's like Devil's now be against the rules? Or if it's more or less just from a sexy music video, is it still ok?

I think it is. Would a mod please remove it and warn him for offending me.

Puritan much?
