Changes to ATRL policy
Today we’re announcing some changes to how we handle explicit material. We want to ensure that our viewers are able to consume all the latest and greatest of pop culture at home, work or any public space they may find themselves in. Additionally, we want to establish clearer rules for profile content displayed in the thread view. The following changes will be in effect immediately, so please read through them carefully and update your profile settings and blogs accordingly.
Blogs
Blogs will now be treated like the rest of the forum. No explicit or offensive content allowed (No “NHB” or “Dirty Talk” content). Private blogs have a little more freedom when it comes to celebrity discussion and general arguments, but sexually explicit content is prohibited and blog titles must not contain offensive content (no shading, trolling, etc).
Avatars
Avatars will be reviewed by all moderators on a case by case basis and you will be contacted to have it removed if it does not fall in line with our policy. Mainstream sources (album covers, music videos, etc) are not excluded from this rule.
Details
- No nudity/implied nudity
- No sexual acts/implied sexual acts
- No close-ups of male or female private areas
- No imagery focused solely on scantily clad bodies
You will be allowed a fair amount of time to change your avatar if it has been flagged by a moderator. Failure to change it will result in warning points and a forced removal of the avatar.
General forum content
No sexually suggestive comments, no linking to adult sites or sexual content. Linking to NSFW content is only allowed if it is 1) related to the article and 2) wrapped in warning tags. Derailing the thread with explicit discussion will result in a ban from the thread and warning points. Do not link to Tinychats or similar cam chats if they contain explicit content.
Feel free to discuss and ask any questions you have.
Thanks
