[5:13:54 AM] seattle_lite: its more that fic is internally regulated, and get minj to settle down, imo
[5:14:19 AM] Filler: I'm not sure why this needs to be discussed, to be entirely honest
[5:14:36 AM] seattle_lite: also a good point
[5:14:42 AM] Filler: I mean
[5:14:52 AM] Filler: Does anyone know Tamar!Oo8zsomething?
[5:14:57 AM] seattle_lite: nawp
[5:15:07 AM] seattle_lite: but i've seen minj do this before
[5:15:11 AM] Filler: He made a cross-post on /chat/ and /fic/, asking for help on his original fiction
[5:15:16 AM] seattle_lite: and some other new folk
[5:15:35 AM] Filler: His /chat/ thread was like "I'm not posting this in /fic/ because they're scary and rules-heavy"
[5:16:01 AM] seattle_lite: common perception
[5:16:11 AM] Filler: (And then he made a review-my-story thread after being convinced to make a /fic/ thread)
[5:16:13 AM] Filler: But yeah
[5:16:39 AM] seattle_lite: wtf does this have to do with anything?
[5:16:45 AM] seattle_lite: sorry, lost me
[5:37:48 AM] Filler: "So can we just... stop all of this? Not because I don't want it discussed, but because this is trying to make something very simple into something very complicated for personal reasons. It's just silly at this point."
[5:37:52 AM] Filler: --dat thred
[5:37:55 AM] Filler: Anon's got a point
[5:38:33 AM] seattle_lite: he does, so lets just simplify
[5:44:04 AM] dubliodubs: I think he just overreacted though. Didn't seem overly gorey to me. Was just a simple thing.
[5:45:30 AM] seattle_lite: So yeah, we need a statement saying "No Clop. If you have questions, ask the board" or something like that. y/n?
[5:45:39 AM] dubliodubs: I'm not really sure what the difference is. Ponychan didn't allow sexytime stuff or tons of violence and now... it's the same exact thing.
[5:45:55 AM] dubliodubs: Was the issue just the wording?
[5:46:10 AM] Filler: What started this, if I may ask?
[5:46:20 AM] Filler: Minjask stumbled onto a gorefic?
[5:46:29 AM] dubliodubs: Minjask read a line where Pinkie took out a prison guard.
[5:46:46 AM] Filler: That seems very vanilla
[5:46:52 AM] dubliodubs: Aidan's Star Wars crossover fic
[5:47:17 AM] dubliodubs: She killed the guard, basically.
[5:47:19 AM] seattle_lite: minj is very sensitive
[5:48:50 AM] dubliodubs: Trying to find the offending line
[5:49:25 AM] dubliodubs: "Without thinking, the guard opened the cell door and stepped inside. The moment his hoof hit the floor, Pinkie lunged forward with her switchblade and thrust it into the pony’s back. She repeated this action a few times before her victim finally fell to the previously stainless steel floor in a pool of slowly escaping blood. Once the guard was on the ground, Pinkie jammed the knife into his head as hard as she could. Tears began to trickle down her face as she slumped backwards, away from the body."
[5:49:37 AM] seattle_lite: psh
[5:49:52 AM] seattle_lite: nothing wrong with that
[5:50:17 AM] Filler: That last line seems like it'd raise an issue from a character standpoint, but as far as rules go, that's pretty tame
[5:50:18 AM] dubliodubs: Considering this is a Star Wars fic, you'd expect more gorey stuff to appear, but it doesn't
[5:50:33 AM] dubliodubs: Lightsabers = cut through things
[5:50:46 AM] Cameron T: that's not even
[5:50:47 AM] Cameron T: close
[5:50:49 AM] Cameron T: to the line
[5:50:50 AM] seattle_lite: nothing wrong with blood an violence if it stays justified with the story
[5:50:53 AM] dubliodubs: Yea, I mentioned the character thing too but he didn't listen. :3
[5:51:00 AM] seattle_lite: and doesn't become the focus
[5:51:35 AM] dubliodubs: Not like Cheerilee's Garden. Oh god, the memories.
[5:51:37 AM] seattle_lite: So really. "No Clop. Any other content concerns should be brought to the attention of the rest of the board for discussion."
[5:51:40 AM] seattle_lite: some such?
[5:52:08 AM] Filler: "Should you find objectionable content in a story, bring it to a moderator's attention via reporting or email."
[5:52:21 AM] Filler: That's more or less what I've been doing, anyways
[5:52:39 AM] dubliodubs: I can see why that might have shocked Minjask, but the fic was also labeled dark, if that matters.
[5:52:52 AM] seattle_lite: fic is internally regulating. reporting should happen only if it flat out breaks the clop rule, or as a last resort.
[5:53:16 AM] seattle_lite: we should operate by consensus to the last possible point imo
[11:56:01 AM] cassiusreviewer: I don't see why there needs to a mature posting rule. We have threads that accept that via e-mail or outside requests. The allowance of mature to be posted only benefits those who don't read the thread's OP.
[12:40:38 PM] seattle_lite: mostly because minj flipped shit about there being a non-gorey murder scene
[12:42:19 PM] cassiusreviewer: Wouldn't be mature then.
[12:51:47 PM] Pav Feira: [12:40 PM] seattle_lite: <<< mostly because minj flipped shit about there being a non-gorey murder scene>>> not exactly. he's hypersensative over material being bannable ever since he got a 24hr for his own story, so he wanted clarification on the rules
[12:52:59 PM] Cameron T: yeah but...
[12:53:04 PM] Cameron T: he had child rape
[12:53:07 PM] Cameron T: that's like, not even legal
[12:53:47 PM] Cameron T: not even fictional, unless it has demonstrable artistic value
