Proposed rules update, 8 July 2023
Hi all! As promised, here is the proposed text of the newest version of the rules. The staff has gone through like eight drafts and literally thousands and thousands of matrix posts to get here, so please be kind. You can see @limeey's comment on the transparency post if you want more insight into how this sausage was made.
We are opening these rules to commentary from the community before they go into effect. To be clear, this isn't a vote, but we will take all community feedback into account and answer whatever questions we can before finalizing anything.
Please keep in mind that we are not Reddit, we do not have Reddit's resources, and safety and consent are our priorities.
I'll post the draft in two parts in two comments: The new sidebar, and the FAQ/clarifications page.
You're viewing a single thread.
Couple questions:
- There was back and forth of "aged up" r34 characters being banned. What is the final decision on this? Should we expect admins to strike down any content of cartoon, comic book, manga, anime, and video game characters that don't have a current canonical age matching the age they are currently being depicted as?
(Annoyingly, 99% of the content that comes out of Japan is about teens and has to be aged up. Even if they don't even look or act like highschoolers! Exhibit A: Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Part 3-5)
- Is a slime considered a fantasy animal?
(I'm partially asking this because I think this rule/question is fucking hilarious, but also because it would basically nuke a fairly active community on here.)
-
I think this falls under "We'll know it when we see it", subjective judgement call. Again, I'm not a hentai guy, so if it were up to me I'd probably get rid of like 80% of it, but we have to start trusting our mods to make those calls.

Is it a humanoid slime?
-
Understandable.
-
I think what I have seen mostly posted was humanoid slimes.
I think humanoid slimes are fine. They're basically like furries, but for amoebas not wolves and badgers and shit.
Lol I love this comment! Mwah! 👄

Not the original asker, but to clarify the first question: should I take this to mean that aged up are possibly acceptable in this revision as opposed to a complete ban?
I'm not asking this to start posting "oppai loli" content or w/e, but moreso content that provide better context clues for the characters being older:
- Easy Case - Characters sharing a night together after a long day of college classes
- Hard Case - Characters that are physically older and have anatomical proportions resembling an adult
I'm mostly asking this as a moderator since I've taken care to ensure characters depicted in my posts are either canonically 18 and up or at least appear sufficiently old enough (if no canonical age is available) to make it easy on myself, but I'd like to have a better idea of where to draw the line when moderating posts from others, if possible, in a way that suits this instance. (Thanks!)
