Can I drop the occasional 'that's what she said.' or does it have to be overtly pornographic? Not that I come on here for sexual jokes, but I don't really see how sexual jokes connect with someone posting naked children on here.... I mean what about linking to a Louis CK bit or another comedian routine that's sexual in nature?
Overtly sexual. "That's what she said" is fine. Comedy routines that are sexual in nature should be posted in Area 69.
The prohibition of sexual jokes has nothing to do with the posting of naked children; it's to keep us in line with the advertisement platform policies.
As for the swearing, as long as it's not prolific (which would likely violate our no flaming rule anyway), that is allowed. I use the term "family friend" very loosely. I'm trying to keep the site within the advertising policy guidelines without being too harsh. Swearing is encountered in society increasingly often; pornography is not.
Is there advertising on Atheist forums? Can't we just all donate a little more money? I mean it's not really a big deal for me personally, because I doubt I ever violate the rule anyway. It's not what I'm here for. I just like to avoid that slippery slope. Just like it's the nature of government to add laws and never repeal them, so too is it the nature of internet forums to add more rules and never get rid of any of the old ones.
