WursWaldo Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The only barrier to removing LL from the banlist now is the flagrant use of actual pornographic advertisements that link to XXX sites. They're not even behind an age gateway of any kind. I just went back there again to check and I was greeted by a large banner showing women giving blowjobs...animated too. The lack of any sort of age gateway/confirmation is the major problem, not the ads themselves e.g. there are XXX ads on the front page of the site without the user having to login and say "I'm over 18". Yes, it's really easy for kids to access content like this if they want to online, but a bare minimum age gateway of that type goes a long way to show you, as the site admin, have washed your hands of the situation by ensuring you've made it very clear, from the get-go, that the content on the site is for people aged 18 or over and if the user accepts that, they gain entry under that proviso. It also ensures people who've come to the site "innocently", without knowing anything about LL, don't go blind/their heads don't explode/they don't have an aneurysm and whatever else looking at porn does to people. LL now has an age gate. The previous lack of one was the "only barrier" stopping LL from being removed from the Nexus banlist. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Just a note that the age gate, like many others, requires javascript enabled. (I have noscript installed so didn't see it at first, but without noscript it shows up just fine). Another note if you want to browse the non-adult section: adblock works really well! Ya'll should use it! But there may still be pornographic images in users' signatures and such.

Dark0ne Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 So it does. I'll let SirSalami, the community manager know, who can let the moderators know, and we can remove the block. I do enjoy proving Kendo wrong, time and again :smile: Edit: Removed the block from the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokerine Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I wonder how many people expected Dark0ne to just weasel his way away from his previous statements. Ah, the delicious drama we could've had! I'm disappointed :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WursWaldo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I admit this didn't go the way I expected. LL has content that is too abrasive and the internet being how it is, there will be a short wait before links to bestiality mods and other types of extreme LL content make their way to Nexus mod pages. I predict things will not go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrivener07 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I can only speak for myself. I dont like to see content that personally offends me, whatever that might be. I like the nexus because there is a very low amount of things I dont want to see. I hope everything works out so the nexus continues to be that way.

Oubliette Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just because LL isn't on the block list doesn't mean this place will become anything like it. It just means that now when a mod requires a file from there a direct link can be given or when someone asks about a mod they see from there the same will be possible.

I predict things will not go well. It's been removed from the filter, but that doesn't mean that we will allow linking to anything that is still in violation of our site regulations. "If you can't upload it, we don't want you linking to it" is the basic idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WursWaldo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm going to type this out but it is not a challenge to the staff here: I think removing LL from the blocklist is a bad idea and nothing good for Nexus will come from it. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
