and here's where I gotta point a thing out.
Okay, so yeah we came here to avoid people saying 'you can't post that' but we're our own community right now so we gotta respect each other and listen to input. if somethings bothering most of the community(which this hasn't gotten to that level yet) then we need to change it.

Also, panda image does not represent the Abyss and should be changed to something that does.

Well, I will turn it off, and look for an NSFW warning later.

Look, guys, I voted for no change, but got overridden. Democracy happened, and we need to admin talk about it for a bit.

Sorry I wasn't around, I've been a bit busy latey.

So the idea of the Abyss was one that we were unsure of from the start, specifically I was unsure since I first suggested the idea to the other staff, so technically it's my fault. However to compromise we decided we would put up a poll on it, and the majority vote at the time agreed to having a separate 'safe' area, which is what The Pit is intended to be and then The Abyss, where we would relax the rules, would allow NSFW stuff to be a little more direct.

The idea of hiding it away from newcomers is the best idea, in my opinion, since the idea I had for The Abyss originally was for it to be as rule free as possible, to allow people to express themselves in ways even the somewhat already relaxed rules didn't allow, but that was going to inevitably end up with 'questionable' stuff being posted there. When Lurker appeared it gave the perfect reason for us to need something like The Abyss, since gore is, honestly, an artistic expression, yet it's one that is unpleasant to most people, so we need somewhere to allow people to put that and keep it away from everyone else. I did attempt to make a post giving warning of what's in The Abyss, maybe it's not clear enough or I need to write the warning a bit better?

Sure, you're allowed to disagree with it, and by all means, express your opinions of it, that's exactly what we want. We want to make sure we're doing things right and keeping as much of the community happy as possible. We can't make everyone happy all the time and we're aware of that, but the unhappy part of the community definitely should let us know exactly why they're unhappy with things. And if you did read the original poll post on the topic, I stated that we may decide The Abyss was a bad idea and remove it, but my personal opinion is that it has its place, maybe we should just alter it a little bit.

I don't think this has really been in danger of becoming a shitstorm, Forrest raised an issue with the forum, as we want the community to do when they have one, and it's been discussed pretty politely so far, and we've come up with what I consider to be at least a partial solution to the problem.



With the whole rule issue, if anyone has any suggestions on things they'd like to see change then feel free to let us know, from what I'm gathering people want a change to us allowing gore in The Pit, which technically we don't now that we have The Abyss but I think we just sort of didn't think about it, so that should be changed.

Just got to say, I have no time to keep reading this, only read the first page, but I completely agree with Forrest and Hibou. Like, I could not express it better.

Love and peace, art and cats.

Okay, how about this, since this is an issue that makes no sense.
PUT UP A DAMN POLL AND LET PEOPLE VOTE!
Easy, annonymous for hte people involved, and it lets the community decide. sounds like the best option.

I am wholeheartedly against the gore, especially when it's kids that is just screwed up. I can stomach it unlike Peri it's just... wrong. I don't believe gore is really art it's just morbid.

Pr0n though who cares? I know not a good idea for newcomers but a considerable few users have posted in it. Hell I posted the Doge porn, mostly as a joke, but I did it. Pr0n is art, just of a more sexualized nature, but as with all art it has bad art pr0n is the same but just more crappily made ones than good ones.
