Thank you!

Thanks for the update!

Great idea! 🍑

Reducing posting frequency is a great solution.

I think only once per week is a bit extreme, but something like, once per sub per day, and cannot share the same photo in the same sub again until somewhere between 1-6 months have passed.

There is a huge difference between inconsiderate spammers, and adult performers linking to their work.

We all hate the blatant spam on Reddit, but spam is not a unique problem, and it was not invented during the rise of adult content creation. That's why we have moderation. Know what makes moderation even harder? Abusing the moderation system.

Look, we have an opportunity here to create an active and ethical community of real people who love porn, and SUPPORT the people who create the thing we love.

Even if you never intend to pay for your porn, creators give away TONS of free material, and want to interact and build community here for free.

If you push out creators from every corner of the internet besides behind a paywall, what do you think will be left? I'll tell you: the 1% of people who are not interested in monetizing their content, and a bunch of stolen shit (for as long as it lasts, until LemmyNSFW gets hit with DMCA takedowns left and right.)

If we went that route, and the site becomes swamped with copyright takedowns, admins here could decide ONLY OC is allowed to be posted, and then yall will have that 1% of people who don't monetize to choose from. So, you can say goodbye to variety, and goodbye to finding someone who fulfills your particular fetish.

Is that the community you want to build? Sounds pretty oppressive to me.

I say share it privately, unless the victims have asked it to be shared widely.

You realize a lot of revenge porn out there was coerced, right? Or the people were drunk, underage, in abusive relationships, etc...

Your post is essentially saying "you let yourself get photographed naked, deal with the consequence."

Life is full of nuance, my guy. Instead of victim blaming, let's all agree that none of us want to see/share NC content.

If you find a random professionally shot image or vid, it won't be hard to ID the model or studio, as there's usually a watermark. If the person was working, you can be pretty sure they signed a release for the photo to be put online. Whether that content was stolen from behind a paywall is another question.

If it's an amateur, it becomes more difficult to determine. Here are some ways I think you can tell;

Likely Consensual:

• The person CLEARLY without question is an adult.
• They look like they're having a good time.
• They know they are being photographed/filmed.
• They are sober.
• You have seen them post OC online before.

Iffy:

• They are intoxicated.
• They appear genuinely apprehensive.
• They are a random you've never seen an OC account for.
• Voyeur content (unless you see a studio tag, this very well may be illegally recorded.)

Likely NC:

• Amateur self shots of teens; a TON of this content is underage/illegal, especially pre-Pornhub and smart phone era.

THANK YOU for bringing this up @BabuKitten. The number of mod's with god complexes on Reddit made me grow to dislike using the site.

I want community where everyone is on even ground. I'm not much into begging to participate, or having my ability to ripped away because of honest mistakes (& no chance for discussion.)

I think a problem w/ moderating illustrated content is not everyone necessarily knows the characters being referenced, and what their age is. That's why community self moderating is important, even more so than just having a couple people trying to do it all alone.

Could something like how Mastodon handles verification be implemented here?

I like how that method retains our privacy (and our sanity, from having to take dozens of verification photos in various angles for picky subreddit mods.)

Even without a website to paste html into, something like, adding a user specific verification code into their public profile on an 18+ site where their ID has already been checked (if the user is selling on an adult platform, for example.)

Of course, this would not work for users without these pre-verified profiles, but I think it's a good start.

Thank you!

Hey thanks for all your work and excited to be a part of this experiment.

Question, though.. What did I miss? 😅 Where are these new rules/guidelines posted?
