Modest anime, presumably, involves characters that are clothed. Not all of it is porn, you know. Alorael is excused from the firing squad for reasons of conscience. Now, up to the wall, thread.

The geocities/freewebs problem was on my end. Turns out I had a couple of duds in my DNS list, and one of them redirected me to that weird page. By the way, the portal was completed months ago. Here.

It's shortly after midnight here. Walking outside would be weird (not that I don't go for walks at the strangest hours). :P I keep a definite list of my names since about April 2005, and it reaches back a few months as far as I can remember. Cookies for anyone who recognizes the last one (Frank H. Pabodie). On an unrelated note, I was checking my old geocities page and noticed that the site appears to have vanished. http://www.geocities.com now loads a page that tries to sell me Cialis. Has Yahoo now been bought out by the spammers, like AOL was years ago?

I knew, as soon as I started hosting people, that I would someday be in a situation where I got in trouble for user-created content. Although the "trouble" so far is just controversy, it is probably best to nip it in the bud. ADoS: If your advice involves deleting forums for containing a topic, I don't need it. That's the kind of logic that had Spiderweb at the brink of oblivion six weeks ago. OM did not start the forum in order to troll. It is possible that the thread had that purpose, but anything beyond that is ridiculous. OM: I am hosting your board, and what is more, I am doing it for free. I knew when I agreed to host a Spiderweb satellite that there would be things one would avoid reading while a boss or mother is looking over one's shoulder. Still, I ask that you show some consideration in using this service I provide you with. --- Conclusion: Censorship pains us all. To some of us, freedom of speech is so important that we would rather post on a forum where most discussions involve genitals than have it be censored. I would like to think that I oppose censorship, as well. I would also like to think that I am not providing yet another online source of racism - even when it is done only as flamebait -, and a reason to equate antisemitism with criticism of Israel's foreign policy. As a compromise, I will close the thread and move it to a non-public forum, just like we do with questionable topics here on Spiderweb. Pending further input, it can be deleted entirely or returned to public view (but remain closed). I hope this incident will not repeat itself. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Spiderweb being the breeding pit of one-upmanship that it is, it would not be too surprising to see Drakey seeking to outdo Stareye. Consider: Custom titles are Drakey's domain, traditionally. Stareye just gave new titles to most of the board.

Net policing works in a hierarchical structure. There is no need to alert the police or Homeland Security - if there is questionable content, it should be reported to the mods, admins, owner and host in that order. As in law, issues are only taken to the next higher instance if one authority fails to resolve it. If these levels are bypassed, the result is controversy. Assuming that the lower instances have already failed to deal with the matter (when in reality they were not even alerted yet), the authority that is reported to will be heavy-handed. Topics are deleted, admins or moderators fired, hosting accounts suspended or homes raided. Edit: As for the manpower, moderators and admins are recruited from the active community. If a board grows too large to handle for the current number of admins or mods, more are appointed. If there are not enough members to appoint as moderators, there are probably not enough members to cause trouble either. Regarding the legal aspect, the law (in Germany; but it seems likely this goes for the US too) assumes that the owner of a community is able to manage it by himself or otherwise find members to appoint as moderators. From memory: In a recent case involving the forum of the German publisher heise, the publisher was forced to guarantee that questionable content would be removed without delay. Objections about the logistics were overruled, because a forum owner is always responsible for policing the community. If the community is too large to manage, it has to be trimmed - impossible as that is in practice - or closed.
