Mosaic Censor and Nudity

[vatiwah]

Hey hey :P I wanted to ask. Nudity is not okay, but a regular bikini (panty + bra) is okay right? But what if its nude but its mosaic/blur censored? Does it still count as nudity where images and videos have to be set to adult?? Technically... the blur covers up more than the bikini a lot of times lol.

What exactly are you asking about? A video you wish to upload? I mod file?

Uploading a video or image onto nexus or mod page, does it have to be set to adult if I use mosaic censor or blur on an NPC/player that is nude.

If you are planning to upload a mod and have nude/NSFW pictures or video it must be marked adult. Mosaic, little hearts, black blocks or whatever do not allow you to avoid this.

This is covered in the Terms of Service, section regarding file uploads (and this would count for the videos and images uploaded as part of a file page)

 

• Insure that any content that would typically be awarded a 15 certificate or higher in the US/UK film and video game industry is properly labelled with the Adult-only option when uploading files and images. Continued failure to adhere to this rule will result in your account being banned.
• If your mod is not tagged as Adult then you may not use adult imagery or content either in your mod Description or in the Images section of your mod page, and you may not accept such images uploaded by users. If you intend to accept such images or use such content on your mod description page then you must re-tag your mod as Adult.

 

 

As far as images uploaded to the image share. Nudity is only permitted in the supporter image share. The following rules apply to the general image share and would include any video you upload to go with the image. As you can read the application of mosaic or butterfly and tulip patches or whatever is not permitted as a tool for this. Now if you find an image or mod that you think is in err of these rules then you need to report it to the moderators. The fact that it exist is not saying it is permitted. The site is so large that it relies heavily on community reports to help with moderation. There is simply not enough time in the day or volunteer moderators to see every item oneself. I have colored the Terms I have quoted for easier viewing. I hope this has help answer your questions.

 

 

Image Share terms and rules
The public image share section is dedicated to sharing screenshots taken in the game featured on the file site that hosts the images, or other images related to that game (e.g. concept drawings of mods being worked on, artistic drawings, etc.).

No unrelated content, no political content, no religious content
The Image Share is not the place to share portraits, family photos, pet images or any other images not related to the featured game. Do not upload images that convey messages related to real world politics or real world religions or include symbols normally associated with active or defunct political parties, religions or movements, in such a way that the image can be interpreted as an attempt to promote their agenda.


No photos of real persons as part of a composition
Unless you have permission or you can prove that it is in the public domain images featuring pictures of living or deceased persons as part of the composition should not be uploaded (e.g. a deck of playing cards with celebrity images).


No nudity
Images showing nudity are absolutely prohibited in the normal image share. This rule is applicable to images showing full frontal/rear nudity and partial nudity (uncovered breasts, genitals, buttocks), pictures showing characters wearing extremely revealing outfits (transparent, semi-transparent dresses, string bikinis, micro-bikinis, clothes that leave sensitive areas or pubic hair visible). Rear-view images of topless female characters are tolerated as long as they are tagged as adult and the pose does not expose a full or partial side view of the breasts. Using patches/pasties/butterflies to cover up non-permissible body parts or images showing characters using their hands to cover up otherwise naked body parts are also not acceptable. Environmental objects (e.g. shrubberies) can be used as long as the 'sensitive' areas are sufficiently covered (the same as the cover a standard bikini would offer).

Non-human/beast races that normally wear clothes or are assumed to wear clothes in the in-game world are considered nude if they are not dressed in the uploaded image the same way that a human would be considered nude or inadequately dressed.

To better describe our idea of what images are acceptable in our public Image Share sections (on all Nexus sites) we have created a mock-up of a humanoid body with clearly defined acceptable and unacceptable skin exposure boundaries that can be found here.


No suggestive content
Images that suggest sexual activity (not including kissing) are not permitted even if the characters are fully clothed or if they are posed in such a way that the 'action' takes place outside the field of view but the sexual activity is clearly discernible.


No extreme content
Although it is covered implicitly by the prohibition of sexually suggestive images, for the sake of clarity, content that portrays extreme violence or sexual fetishes, even if no nudity is shown (including, among other things, bondage, whipping and other extreme fetishes) is also forbidden in the normal image share.

Supporters' Image Share
If you would like to share images that are forbidden from being uploaded to the normal Image Share with other Nexus members you will need to upload your images to the Supporters Image Share section. This section has more relaxed rules, especially in regards to nudity. In order to access the Supporters Image Share section you will need to either be a Supporter or Premium Member.


Mature content other than nudity
Images showing gore, extreme violence, skimpy outfits and any other subjects that would be frowned upon in a conservative working environment or on a family friendly beach should be tagged as Adult. You should note that tagging an image as Adult does not exempt you from the no-nudity rule on Nexus, the term adult means: content, other than nudity, that is not safe for work/not safe for minors.


No illegal content
Images showing copyrighted content, content owned by other persons/entities and obtained/produced without their permission or content that is considered illegal according to the laws of the United Kingdom (e.g. images featuring pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, etc.) should not be uploaded either to public Image Share or Supporters' Image Share.

Please share your own work! Do not take other peoples creations and parade them as your own. It is not only unfair, but a bannable offense. We take stealing content from others seriously. You have been warned.


Images showing private mods and mods from other sites
As a rule of thumb images showing content from mods not hosted on a Nexus site, including unreleased private mods or mods obtained from sites other than Nexus, that would not be permissible on the Nexus file servers may not be uploaded to public and supporters' image share. If you create a private mod for your own enjoyment using content from other modders without permission then do not upload images of that mod. Simply put; if any mods shown in your image could not be hosted on the Nexus because of our rules then do not upload the image to our Image Share.


Links and images embedded into image descriptions
Content embedded into or linked in the image descriptions should also comply with the above rules. Please note that if you have a personal gallery on an image hosting site (Flickr, Imageshack, Photobucket, Imgur, etc.) you may only embed links to it into image descriptions if the images on your gallery comply with our Image Share rules. This means that if you have an adult oriented image gallery you may only hotlink to individual images (i.e. the embedded image should not work as a clickable link to your external gallery).

You are allowed adult content galleries on other sites you just arent allowed to link to them in the Image Share section.

As well as not linking to adult content or files you may not link to sites or files where you can download files that do not adhere to copyright laws. Examples include sites that include files with rips from other games and stolen work from other mod authors without the authors permission. Ignorance is not an excuse. Before you link to a site YOU should ensure that it is safe to link to. A simple search of the site should tell you very quickly whether its acceptable or not. You may link to individual pages that do not contain nudity, even if some other parts of the site youre linking to contain nudity, so long as the page itself thats being linked contains NO nudity.


Image comments
Comments posted on images are considered file comments and fall under the same strict rules that are applicable to comments made on other uploaded files. There is no excuse for posting disparaging or insulting remarks. Violations will be handled according to the file commenting rules posted in the Terms of Service.


Retrospective moderation
Our Image Share section has been running for many years and as such there are hundreds of thousands of images available across the various Nexus sites. When we update our rules we do not go back through the archives and retrospectively moderate old images based on our new rules. As such there will be plenty of old images in our database that do not adhere to our new rules. Their existence is not an excuse to upload images that are similar in nature.


Judgement of acceptable content
There is no plausible way to write a set of rules that cannot be interpreted in different ways by different people. In all cases of moderation it is the moderators judgement that is the only important factor and the moderator’s decision is always final. As a rule of thumb, if there is any doubt in your mind that your image might be found objectionable (if you have to ask yourself will this be allowed? and can this image be interpreted differently? or might this get me in trouble?) then it probably will be. If you skate the edges of what is and isn't acceptable (e.g. by uploading pictures of scantily clad men or women) then its very possible your images might be interpreted differently by a moderator to how you intend and much more possible that action will be taken against you. As a result you only have yourself to blame. The final judgement falls squarely in the moderators opinion and if youre concerned that an image you would like to upload might get you in trouble then your choices are very simple: upload the image and accept whatever decision a moderator makes on the matter or, preferably, just dont upload the image.
