Hello everyone,
I received a private message from ProBoards yesterday indicating the forum has adult content. The example they provided was an image of Conan with a bare breasted warrior woman someone posted.
ProBoards wants all adult content removed within 48 hours from the PM.
I went back in and deleted the image per their request.
To be on the safe side don't post any bare breasts.
If you have posted some, do me a favor and get those deleted.
I'm not sure what would happen to the board if we were found to be violating the policy, but it is what it is.
Thanks
PS The Image was posted at 4:01 and I received the PM at 4:35....
So either someone reported it, or ProBoards has an automated system of some kind.
-Jason

Thanks Jason
Social media seems to be getting more and more difficult to use. I just had an FB post removed that went against "community guidelines." It was on my own private group and was a direct link to an MP3 download.
I'm getting tired of this, and the fact I have a group with 1600 members with an average post reach of 25!

Am sorry, maybe it was because of my "The Cimmerian : Xuthal of the Dusk" post as it features a topless Natala but not in an explicit matter, I will be more carefull.
NOTE The pictures on my post were already deleted, not sure if proboard made it or if it was you, but again, am sorry.

Yeah it's a shame but it's Proboards server and they seem to consider bare breasts as adult content.
I appreciate everyone keeping an eye out and messaging me about where some are.

I presume that the issue is one of legal compliance, either actual or prospective. Unfortunately, the only free-speech-respecting platforms I know of don't have forum capabilities, tend to be rather political in content, and are susceptible to the same potential legal pressures. Depending on the amount of traffic, it may be possible to host this site on a private server, just a tiny plug computer. In that case, it might also be beneficial to make it a Tor service, though that, too, presents its own hurdles (in as much as most people find it inconvenient and/or suspicious to utilize that network). I know that the FreedomBox Foundation offers a free-software suite and for hosting, though whether their recommended open-source hardware solutions would be up to the scripting challenges of the forum, I don't know.

Ah good old censorship, on a Robert E Howard forum no less.

This has apparently always been ProBoards policy we just weren't aware of it before and I get the impression they were just sending us a friendly reminder. It is a bit of a limitation compared with the old forum but they do offer a fantastic service to us essentially for free apart from a little advertising.

All right. Violence, bloody scenes and severed heads are allowed, but bare breasts no...  |

Ah good old censorship, on a Robert E Howard forum no less. I don't make the rules, it's a free board so we have to play by their rules. All right. Violence, bloody scenes and severed heads are allowed, but bare breasts no... Yep, violence is okay, but show one bare breast and you've crossed the line apparently. |

Also colorful language. While not surprised by, nor offended by, the content itself, colorful language has been used in some threads without any censoring or warnings of said behavior. So, violence, swear words but no 'biological art.' I mean, come on — Savage Sword of Conan, and all of its fabulously scantily-clad women, is *art*!
