I'm not sure if Invisionfree is still relevant here, sorry. But I thought I 'd ask anyways. I am aware that you as a company want's to keep your reputation as clean as possible. So this suggestion may be falling on deaf ears. To increase the number and diversity of users that are interested in creating and using these forums, I want to suggest being a bit more lenient on your content policies. Now, before you wave me off, I'm not saying to allow it for /everyone/ You could implement a system where users creating a forum can have a 'toggle adult content warning' or something, so when you enter the site, a window pops up saying that there may be 18+ content - that by proceeding to the forums, you acknowledge you are 18 or older and that zetaboards is not responsible for the content posted thereafter. And that by toggling the adult content warning, you can also check to make sure all registering users are over 18 before accepting them. A lot of us on Zetaboards seem to be roleplayers ( I assume.) And unfortunately, the hobby is losing interest. So roleplayers as a whole are getting older, and I think we could benefit from being allowed post a bigger variety of content. |

While we host your board, the boards are hosted on servers and we pay that host. That also means we sign a contract to abide by their rules and regulations. This is the main obstacle to your proposal. There are several reasons why the Adult Content rule is present, but even if we relaxed those rules, we would then need to find another provider and that is a costly move. Therefore it comes down to choosing to agree to these rules and lose a small group of customers or to move, potentially have less reliable or more costly hosting and only the group really benefits. As our main goal is always to provide a reliable and free service, we cannot afford to change the terms regarding Adult Content. |

I like @dragonpriestess idea as there's content that's not simply X-Rated adults only but mature content that's for those over 18. I mean there's a wide range of that. Video games from games like God of war, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Duke Nukem, GTAV. Movies & television shows like DeadPool, Hitman, WestWorld, Game of thrones. Even comics that aren't explicit but are still suitable for people 18 & over. And artwork, digital illustrations, fanfiction. Imagine the increase from users creating fanfiction. And understand what you're saying @Stephen but i think the host needs to update that rule cause it kinda doesn't give room for followers interested in that type of content. |

What part of Deadpool isn't already covered as ok? Marvel already censors him, but we allow profanity already on boards. The violence and content shown for the R rating of the movie which is generally what we allow RPG boards to have. Anything stronger than R is what is not allowed. Now Westworld, aside from the nudity, just about anything seen in Westworld is fair game for discussion. So I don't see exactly how we are prohibiting anything with the current rules outside of not allowing more explicit and detailed content in rpgs or allowing nude photos from the tv series. What exactly is stopping you from having these discussions within the confines of the current rules? |

There's nothing stopping us just there's some rather go full WestWorld not partial. There should be an option for either. As i said i understand & see your point, have no problem with it, i do however get where dragonpriestess is coming from but if we get what we get. |
