Vote for changes to the forum. 
 

Adding an NSFW section is about moving threads that are already NSFW out of the public parts of the forum and into a location that at a minimum can’t be seen unless the person logs in. We have some very adult threads that can be seen by kids in public web searches. 

I added clarification about what adding an NSFW section means. If anyone didn’t understand the context, it looks like you have the option to change your vote. 

Can't threads with certain tags be made log-in only (or just anything using spoiler tags)? Otherwise I foresee many threads that have [NSFW] in the title with naked doll body or one or two risqué photos getting moved...

I understand the concern about NSFW being index-able, but I also don't want a subsection for it because I feel like it could encourage more of that content, and frankly the sparseness of NSFW is why I choose to be here rather than on social media. I would rather that NSFW spoiler filters are maybe not able to be removed unless you're logged in.

Doesn't that make it easier to avoid if it's separate? I don't think adding a section would really encourage NSFW content to that extent. It's already a really niche part of the hobby. Unless you mean off-topic NSFW, but I also don't see that being a big thing on a doll forum.

I think it would bring it more 'front and center' if anything unfortunately.

The idea is to put it where folks who don’t want to see it don’t, and folks that do can. 
 

one option is to use the clubs feature so it’s only there if you want it, and it doesn’t show in streams if you aren’t in that club. Ideally for users who don’t want nsfw, it might as well not exist.

Initially though, we should put it behind a login requirement. 

There is a difference between a sales post that is nsfw, and the AP thread. 

The forum feature for nsfw isn’t very robust, it’s either all on or all off. It’s not a feature in the current version either.

And I'm behind that idea 100%, some way to make it harder to see that stuff is great, better filtering, privacy options for threads, etc. I'm just a little concerned that a dedicated section for it may attract, frankly, very weird people to the forums.

I feel I'm not seeing the concern. 😅 Doll people are considered "weird people". Anywhere that adults have hobby spaces there is likely to be NSFW content. If you don't like it, you curate it out, and that's pretty much all that needs to be done. People don't flock to forums in general anymore, it's not the same as social media. So I'm not really sure what "very weird people" would appear just because of a boundary being established.

We’re limited by the forum’s features, and that’s limited to a NSFW filter that you can only disable site wide, and clubs.

The example I read about on the forum software forum was a leather working site that had NSFW content and also drew priests and den mothers looking to create keychains for youth groups. She put it in its own clearly labeled section and reasoned that if a priest went in and then complained, it was on him and not her.

And we are legit weirdos already.

I haven’t seen anyone on discord that is saying things that set off alarm bells. We did have someone join and post an image of an adult sex doll that was dressed, but looked like a nine year old and they were banned instantly. We’re already going to attract people like that, and we’re about serious hobbyists.

DOA is filled with suggestive images of boy dolls with their shirts off, so there is no shortage of people who post that. I let that wash right off me, but not everyone wants to see it. 

"We're all weird here" is a really poor generalization of what I'm concerned about. There are legit creeps in this hobby, and I'm not interested in seeing things catered to them, but it looks like I'm going to get out-voted so I rest my case here.

The point being there are legit creeps everywhere. Totally respectable people engage with NSFW content and enjoy that type of expression within the hobby. It is not catering to creeps to allow people a place to share NSFW in a designated section. It's still being moderated just like the rest of the site.

Sure, as I mentioned before, when one popped up they were banned immediately. I’m not thinking we will allow anything more than we already allow, I’m thinking of seeing what is currently allowed moved someplace where people who don’t want to see it won’t.

This could involve moving more suggestive content to its own area, but that’s a separate question. The suggestive content doesn’t bend the rules to their limits the way other content does, and it’s not going to expose a child to something their brain isn’t ready to process.

The voting is open for a month, and that one could go either way.

Sorry, it’s just that I keep hearing people within the hobby refer to weirdos in the hobby, and it just gets me that so called “normal” people would mostly cut contact with any of us if they knew that this is a hobby we enjoy. I feel like we have no business calling anyone weirder. I was responding to @control and acknowledging that yup by the standards of society we are weird and I’m just embracing the identity at this point. I can’t look down on other weird people. 

@sunlightandtea I think I understand where you're coming from, but I think what the others are trying to explain is that: even if these "legit creeps" come into the forum, they will be limited to only posting their content in a specific section and they will still have rules they must abide by. (Which if they are "legit creeps" they'll likely break those rules and get banned anyway as baldy has mentioned) But mainly they will have to post in a section that you fully do not have to engage with as it seems you prefer not to in general. If they come into your posts and act creepy, you should report them (and block, but I'm unsure if that's a feature on this forum). It won't "attract" them anymore than any other site does. The only way it actually would is if the forum just allowed everything to be freely public (hence less hoops for them to jump through). The option of the section being Opt-in rather than Opt-out already means that nothing should really change. The environment here is already curated to disallow certain kind of content/behavior, and that will be enforced throughout including inside the new section. Therefore they wouldn't be flocking here in droves because it doesn't and will not cater to them.

(This is meant as a general, clarifying statement, in an attempt to ease your concern. I am autistic and sometimes my tone comes across poorly, so please understand that is in no way meant to be judgemental or dismissive)

I don’t think @baldylox has weighed in yet, but so you can be sure to tell us apart, I still have a few remaining hairs on my head. Fewer each year, but I’m enjoying them while I can. 

I wish the clarification about the NSFW content was there before I voted.  While I see the concerns other users have already posted, having that content relegated to one section of the board would make it easier to avoid all together, so I think ultimately it'll be a good thing if it does get added.  Are the threads being moved going to be based on intent?  It'd be a shame to have the maintenance threads about stain removal or body comparison that feature doll "nudity" removed from the public eye.

This is something that I think should also be better clarified regarding the NSFW section. Would stuff with an NSFW tag be blanket moved to the new section, or just individual threads that are deemed too spicy for the general public?

 

There are plenty of threads regarding maintenance and comparisons that should remain publicly accessible, as otherwise they would be lost as a valuable resource for non-member hobbyists. Regardless, several of those may still benefit from an NSFW warning tag. 

On the other hand, I can understand wanting to move threads that are spicy for the sake of being spicy to a cordoned off section.

What might become an issue are larger aggregate threads (I'm particularly thinking of the Angel Philia Discussion Thread), since there's a good amount of advice and discussion in there that should remain publicly available, but there's certainly some stuff there that better be not publicly visible.

Maybe we can have a soft rule for putting publicly viewable nudity (such as body comparisons, etc.) under a spoiler tag? Personally I don’t have a problem with nudity/posing for educational purposes, but I know some people do, so I’ve been trying to use spoiler tags in my own posts.

I'll add in the caveat of how detailed the dolls are. Like there is a world of dereference between nakedness between dolls. Some are more detailed than others, not that they're inappropriate but just something I'd want a warning for at work.

It's a hard line to walk. We are buying dolls and details matter so it's important we have a place to view the dolls without styling. But if such things are put in the NSFW area people might be skipping important info.

What I'm trying to say is before the separation is made, it should be made pretty clear what the difference is as best we can. Otherwise there is going to be slap fights about "Well this was allowed why not this?".

Many of the threads concerned already have NSFW in the thread title, but the problem is that there are dolls displaying different grades of lewdness in them, ranging from (1) just nude to (2) provocative posing to (3) suggestive dialogues but no sexual imagery to (4) looking suspiciously innocent but actually catering to certain types of fetishes to (5) being blatantly enlaced. If the three first options are deemed NSFW and in need of a move, you loose a lot of actually useful threads including for example Billy's body comparisons, and also many new acquisition threads. The fourth will woosh over most kids' heads, so probably is okay despite the creepy connotations. The fifth probably should go in NSFW.

So where do we draw the line?

Certain swappable optional parts for male dolls are already banned AFAIK, so those pose no problem.

Are they? I don’t think they should be banned (but certainly put in a separate section) if the mods allow an equivalent for female dolls (painted bust and torso pieces, fetish gear, etc.), which they seem to.

I agree, I don't think body comparisons should be marked NSFW and I think that putting them in NSFW would hide a lot of helpful info!

The way things are now we mark things as you said NSFW in the title so people know. But if all NSFW is put in one place a portion of users won't look in those sections, because NSFW is a wide net. Someone who is okay with generic doll nudity may not want to see all the other NSFW things. I don't think body comparisons should be in NSFW, I think doll nudity is inherently part of the hobby.

Maybe something like, if the doll is more anatomically correct the uncensored version is in NSFW and the censored version is in SFW? That way if someone wants to have further details they can look in the designated zone? I'm unsure because I understand wanting a NSFW zone, but deciding what counts and what doesn't can get tricky.

I do think some body comparions should have an NSFW TAG. I do not think body comparions should be in a gated off NSFW area.

And if I were to do a review / comparison, I couldn't be bothered posting both a censored and an uncensored version.

I think the tag system would be good for such things.

It would make no sense to move body comparisons and stuff like that. The difference mostly boils down to sexual vs. non-sexual nudity. Selling a nude doll body doesn’t need an adult sales section, but there is some very spicy stuff that is not appropriate for kids.

That type of body is a good example of NSFW that should move, and it would be up to the poster if they wanted to create two threads.

That thread is something that will be very complex to disentangle, but parts of it need to move.
