I googled that Ashcroft vs. Free Speach Coalition thingie...
http://www.law.duke.edu/journals/dltr/articles/2002dltr0019.html

I think >>195 is right.

"Virual CP" as in a Digital Representation of an underage
_HUMAN_ person (like if some guy were to make a Photoshop
or a CGI porn image with a _REAL_ kid's face as reference)
which could then be visually associated with a _REAL LIFE_
living breathing person existing in THIS world. And since
Tails, Klonoa, and any OTHER cub type _FURRY_ chars can't
possibly be visually linked to people in REAL LIFE, I don't
see how any of this affects us at all. HUMAN CHILDREN need
protection from being sexually exploited, FURRIES do not.

I suppose that was the point that was passed on to me (see >>175 for details), and given how the interpretation came from someone with nothing less than over a dozen of years on the legal practice, it made quite some sense to me.

All the much now given that document.

I think the maintaining point that could be pressed against "cubs" were them human looking characters with just some animal ears/tails. If it could potentially be the abuse of the rights of a human child, then it could be striked down.
;3 In short, the ruling change should state that, for law-safety sake, no Nekomimi/Usagimimi/Etc is allowed should it portray a character of underage aspect, rather than cub anthropomorphic animal art.


(Ind the end while all this is a lovely, even if a bit drama filled debate, I wonder how much effect this will have on Fchan itself )

Again, it's hard to make a consistent argument unless we know exactly what new legislation is being referred to in >>1. I refuse to add any new points until more details are added in that regard, since it is already clear that cub porn was allowed in the past.

To the moderators, could we have links to said legislation?

I love this board for the mods and the readers in the first line, how come? Well Fchan generaly became unable to show any kind of quality in what it does. Xeno goes on all the time like he would do nothing but reading laws and law extension from BTK to momentaly suggested paragraphes, but hell for what?
I mean lols if this site would actually sponsor and show QUALITY with the pictures, carefuly choosed and "everyone would be happy to see this" kind of stuff then hell its only understandable that you have to take coverage for your readers and artists, but dear god all this crap for "art" like donald duck porn drawn with a stick by a 8 year old?
Also its awesome and epic how whenever Xenofur starts off anything about the rules it has more paradoxes within than religion could ever keep up with.

1.1
"Due to its host having increasing concerns about such art and additionally due to several federal states of the USA having passed as-of-yet unappealed legislations that forbid such art, Fchan sees itself forced to act to protect both users and the site itself by banning cub art."
- Starts off with the old story about anthro art, animal molestation is against the laws too and the so called as-of-yet legislations, its against the law to distribute and/or show pictures with animal sex, but hell you draw two breasts on it and make it slightly stand on two legs then its ok, congratulations, but this is not even the problem part, what i luaghed at was the
"Fchan sees itself forced to act to protect both users and the site"
lol Xeno, please dear god, PROTECT!? If you want to tell me you would like to protect the board thats one thing, BUT THE USERS? Are you suggesting that there are underage people on the board who need to be protected, or is it rather that those who (excuse me the choice of words) fap to animals having sex would be mentaly damaged after seeing such a picture. K LOL
1.2
All you said basicaly equals the hidden picture between 1.1
What the moderators dont like will be deleted. Notice please its all about the liking not the rules.
1.3
Exactly the same as 1.2
1.4
Another hail the paradox string, creating sub groups inside cathegorized porn. Watch Xeno kids, he will teach you how to make science out of a simple porn picture.
1.5
Same as 1.4
1.6
Congratulations, an actual addition to the site to protect the users unlike the lols in 1.1
1.7
Same as 1.2

SO all the fun rule stuff and epics of 7 points can be sumed up like this:
- What the moderators dont like will be deleted even if its not against the rules.
- If the moderators dont like you, you will be deleted even if its not against the rules
- If the moderators dont like something they will say its against the government and the not yet released laws.
- Its not porn, its science
- If you cant cathegorize exactly a 10 foot shemale godzilla being tied up by a cartoon character, your post will be deleted.
- If you dont know Fchan science you will be eventualy banned shortly.
- If you dont agree with the moderators or think they are mentaly handicaped, you will be eventualy banned shortly.
- If you dont agree with the majority you will be eventualy banned shortly.
- If you think some of the moderators have mental problems for making rocket science out of a bunch of "mating" disney characters you will be eventualy banned shortly.
- You will be eventualy banned shortly

Welcome to NaziChan, thank you for your care and work Xeno, we will surely find an another board where the mods are still sane.

Soz but it really has no point to argue or try to discuss something.

In the history of Fchan it was allways what the mods want, never the users, hell in this board the user is just an animal, a trophy xeno can show off with how many ppl browse it.
What if i say point by point why i disagree with him, will that change anything? No, disagree = ban thats the only thing i learned around here, it doesnt matters at all how you present it, sarcastic, trolling, well pharsed, point by point, its just a disagree with the mods and you can check what that means in 1.2
"What we dont like gets deleted"

Wait wait, it just occurs to me...

You're worried about fchan getting into trouble for cub porn? Have you people even heard of SoftPaw magazine? It's a cub porn mag that you have to PAY for. If that's legal (and it is), then how is free cub porn not?

C'mon, mods. Step up and explain yourselves now. If you want to expunge cub porn because you don't like it, then just step up and say it. At least we can accept a truthful statement like that. If the only problem really is the server, then I'll e-mail the Softpaws myself and ask them about the legalities of the situation. I'm sure this can be cleared up pretty easily if everyone drops the furry drama and just wants to work together to everyone's mutual gain.

Right, except that's not the reason they've cited as to why it's banned. So until the come out and say that, we're functioning under the assumption that the server provider has a problem with questionable content. We're in the process of determining whether or not it is legal, and when that determination happens, the admins will have one of two choices: #1. accept that cub art is perfectly legal and re-allow it to be posted, or #2. accept that cub art is perfectly legal but continue to disallow its posting.

Your pointless antagonism isn't helpful or informative and just serves to rile up already over-dramatic people.

What jono said.

The administration provided as a problem some potential legal restrictions, which is what some people here were trying to discuss.

From multiple points came out certain conclusions, that the administration took no step about (either to welcome them, or provide more detail about the given problem).


So, if the administration indeed wished to prohibit something given on their own desire, they're quite free to say so. It would put everyone to a much more calm state (after all, how much more flak could they get?).

Missed the point of your post little troll... go back to your starting zone and level up...

Beyond that you are right, its their SITE, the menu, site design and the ftp storage space is the only things on this board that ever belonged to the mods. The pictures drawn by other artists they dont even know surely not, so get it straight when you say protecting the site and the users cause even if you make rocket science out of sorting porn pictures, this is just a board amongst the many that never did anything on its own.
Nothing, no originals, no featured artists it can call its own, no pictures that truly belong to the site, not even information on culture or anything at all.

The rules on the other hand are so well made that even a fukken lawyer could become emo from its beautyes. Its a golden locker case for nothing. Other than the fact that i dont know how a person can get on sexaulity so high that he actually starts to sort out bondage pictures by "low, mid, high" sure, i can only say things would be easyer if they would say the truth directly.
Take just cub porn for instance. Sorry to say but there are no laws against it, just as there are no laws against anthro pornography and/or art, thus it directly means that Cub porn is not dised and deleted cause they have to do it, its cause they choosed to do this, and this is the point and how the site works since its beginning.
Beyond all the fuss there was never anything just the same old "the mods like it or not". Face it or run away i dont care, but the fact is that this board would fit the NaziChan title just perfectly. A group of people who feed on other artists pictures and their users hoarded together galeryes do like they would lead the worlds bigest company of anthro art or the hell knows what.

Imo (and you can take that as a suggestion) you could replace the whole rules section with 1 word: EGO
The mods choose about everything anyway, there are no written rules that couldnt be done otherwise by them. Thus even if you havent done anything against the rules, moderators can kick you the hell out just on their personal likes/dislikes.
Congratulations
Why all the rules then?

"The users are allowed to post stuff here, it's not their god-given right"
Looking at the fact that this board is only alive because the users post pictures on it, your claim is a prety thought. Actually shows the core of the problem just fine.
People look for stuff and request stuff, if they get it, the site is sucsessful if not they go and look for it elsewhere
Its this god damn simple

I should feel HONORED cause Fchan allows me to fill in their needs? No offense pal but if you find it statisfactory that you do the work for someone and then he kicks your ass for it then you are either a mazochist or the bigest constitution of a brown noser i have seen during my life.

Sorry to say, but in my world, if i help someone to get something and with that i bolster the site's visitor number, i get a "thanks" and not a million of rules and a group of ego moderators who think they shited the spain mello, and ban me for it in the end.

The sad reality is that Xeno should kiss the ass of everyone on this board who has completed a request of others even once. Cause thats the only reason he has a site he can make shitty rules on and play around like he would be god along with his team.

People here surely have intresting logic. For real.

Why exactly should Xeno kiss everybody's ass again? The more people who come here, the more people posting content, the more people fulfilling requests and the more people arguing here on the /dis/ boards on this very subject, the MORE BANDWIDTH is being used that HE has to pay for. (Or whomever is paying for it, if Xeno doesn't.)

So let's recap.

You're not paying a dime for this site.
You're costing the site money by coming here and arguing.
And yet, you're getting free access to pictures, flash files, and a forum board.

Then I guess we're right back to the Tails / Klonoa loophole? They don't exist in real life. But they _ARE_ 'Visually Childlike cartoon images. It doesn't matter what their cannon ages are or what the ARTIST says their ages are, only how they LOOK to a judge. So therefore they and all other "Visually Childlike" furry characters should be removed in order to _FULLY COMPLY_ with this law.

You do realize that the Jan 2nd 2006 is just a simple "check, make sure it's still there, continue". The date I've provided is when that legislation was added, and far as I know, there has been no changes to it. There has been court cases after Apr. 30, 2003 which would protect such imagery from being persecuted upon. If you really think this is the legislation being noted here, I'll search them up for you. Otherwise, I'll wait until an actual moderator posts here stating such.

If Fchan bans cubs based on the "Visually Childlike" rule,
then they should also ban Tails and other characters who
visually appear childlike (Arthur, Kit Cloudkicker etc.)

[And yeah, sometimes they're drawn adult or teen,
but I mean the standard common depictions of them.]

Get with the program. We're not saying what the mods can and cannot do. We're calling them out on the REASON for doing it and the inconsistencies and double standards that are going on right now on the site (Sonic, etc.). If they're doing it because of a law which doesn't pertain to cub porn (hence the LEGAL production and distribution of the Softpaw magazine), then that's just stupid and cub porn should be allowed at once if it's just an inapplicable law that's the problem.

If, however, it's a moderator decision (as many of us suspect), then they should come out and be truthful about the reasons for their decision (ie. we don't like it; ergo, it may not be posted). That's all we're looking for here.

I'm not sure what's with all the fetishist enmity here. What's the point of everyone going at each others' throats for their sexual preferences? Why are all the scat/vore/guro people being all like "Ha ha, your fetish got kicked off fchan"? Talk about childish...

LLz, this was his Yahoo instant messenger. I doubt one, someone would of hacked onto his YIM. Two, would have a legislature involving what we were discussing on hand, to give me.

I did offer alternatives to him. The law states a person can have 3 at a time, without having consequences, if they're willing to be deleted at a moments notice. A limit of such images could be posted. But that would be, as Xeno stated, difficult to monitor.

Also, censoring could be done (As it states, and I quote, from Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 71, Section 1466A, subsection f3 "(3) the term “graphic”, when used with respect to a depiction of sexually explicit conduct, means that a viewer can observe any part of the genitals or pubic area of any depicted person or animal during any part of the time that the sexually explicit conduct is being depicted"

This means we could censor all cub-porn. Then again, that would mean editting original pictures, without permission. However, according to the law, any artist-censored cub-porn images, are fine to post. So go at it.
