Erotica, Porn, and The Extreme Content Warning

Anonymous said:<< post removed >>

BRA'VO 👏👏

The questions I asked are valid and non aggressive, I wanted to know if things were changing, if they were it made sense to have the conversation in a public forum, then there is no secret recourse for questioning a mod, there is no he said she said it's transparent.

And to me the picture that ahavati posted was grounds for me to be skeptical about an extreme content on writing when an image is on clear display.

Now everything is resolved in a neat bow, I can happily submit erotica.

📦 That's that Sun in Scorpio for ya. . .

As an aside, it seems to me we've lost the art of having a discussion without trying to find a "winner", that every disagreement is an emotionally scaring and traumatic experience and we seem to have lost our ability to play gracefully with ideas.


BRA'F'N'O 👏👏👏

In England it’s called having a sense of humour. Sorry for your loss.

I started to gracefully play with an idea when it whispered ...don't stop....

It's okay, Todski.

We generally quite like you as a human being too.

Especially when you try to have interesting public discussions relevant to DUP that give us all a chance to volunteer alternative opinions.

You are misleading from the front:

Your poem "Cello" was not one of  those poems that had to have an extreme content warning added to it so why include it?

Now you make reference to a couple of poems that slipped under the radar as they were put under the genre of Dark or angry poems. Why did you not report them. Surly everyone has a responsibility for this community.

There is a difference between erotic poetry and poetry of a sensual nature, I think there should go under Love poetry, or the trials of love - erotic means erotic

It has always been the rule you should remember that being a member long standing.

But it is about views I spend more time taking off extreme content warnings off rather that slapping then on as, the number of hits to extreme content is so much higher and those who try to mislead the reader in to reading their work has a temporary effect. All the extreme content is reviewed by mods to see id it is or it isn't

You do have autonomy over you your creative licence within a community. This community has rules for the good of all, it can't be an 'I'm alright Jack' mentality

You haven't witnessed heavy handed moderation, not in the slightest. The torch you are carrying this for is incorrect. This is nothing like the nanny state, several other poetry sites would not allow ay erotic content or cussing and swearing. Quite frankly nothing would entice me to give you a reach around whether you felt you were being spoon fed or not

Now, your question SatinUgals All extreme content warnings are checked as are all that fall into the Erotic Category. They are specifically checked and given and extreme warning or not. Commonsense does not work for some and still erotic poems are left untagged. The extreme content warning it the highest viewed category by a country mile.

This is nothing to do with the offence that people feel. Todski is being melodramatic here so we don't want to hide anything or ban anything or not be offensive, because we are (LOL)

For the second time Todski this is not a new rule it has been active since the beginning. All erotic  poems should have an extreme content warning on it. Sensual poems do not, although I thing that sensual poems should be in the love category. I messaged you and many others. The only complaint I got was yours. Moderators tag as extreme content, those that fall into the erotic apart from sensual poems and you are right, no permission is sought, just a value judgement of the said moderator.

You would love this to be 'Personal Attackish' but nothing could be further from the truth

Well the rules are now the same as they always were. That includes images. Every erotic post is for want of a better term policed. And they should be always were.

Now you and I know fine well that my name was shares with the select few. Questions of who done it are disingenuous
Now the posts you have put on here have been mildly aggressive especially with the back-story chosen and the "heavy handed moderation you witnessed" despite being untrue.

It is true that there are no winners and losers in a mass debate but you have been trying to win this since the thread began. You started this thread when a simple message would have done so that is mildly aggressive too. There is no hornets nest to stir up here, the rules have been hoe the always have been.

This is From the cheap seats. Erotic images and content must all be checked for extreme content warning these will be applied as per the guidelines. The will be removed if the content is extreme. The erotic category will continue to be policed given the failure of those who should be identifying as such. I will admit that my wording of the message was semantically confusing. I say erotic when I mean erotic and when I mean sensual and loving I think it should be in the Love category. This being said there are plenty of poems that are called erotica that are on safer grounds than Fucking. Those do not get the extreme content warning on them

Having been a Mod a year or two back and having written quite a lot of erotic poetry in the past, I was surprised to find an extreme warning put on my poem 'funny, how...' and I'm assuming it was done because i used the word 'cock' once, i.e. it was the last word in the poem.

I considered the poem more suggestive and sensual than erotic.  

In my opinion it doesn't justify an extreme warning.  

No, I haven't lodged a complaint about it, I just thought

'ooh, we have an over zealous Mod who must get offended by the word cock or someone has complained'.

If memory serves me correctly, Kate, we had quite the go-rounds REMOVING ECW's than we did labeling them. . .
