    I have to agree with Mr. Peanut here. A little porn never hurt anybody, but posting it somewhere where it will appear on the front page shows a pretty clear lack of judgement. Some people (like me) might be going to the board from work. That's why I'm voting against pepperlandgirl in the mod election.

    Having spent a fair amount of time clearing up the mess she left outside of Domebo, and having received dead silence instead of an apology or acknowledgement, I'm not voting for her either.

    Strange that.

    Of course you just quoted me out of context. I was specifically replying to someone specifically talking about the West Coast of the US.

    Why "of course"? What are you implying?

    In all fairness, I cannot post here during the day as much as I'd like. I don't have a problem with the gay porn (think it's quite hot actually), but explaining it to my boss may raise a few eyebrows. So while I'd like to contribute more, it's likely I'll only be here in the evening when the drool-worthy pics in chat won't get my pervy butt fired.

    The porn is banned forever from chat. It will only be seen in threads labeled NSFW.

    Actually I did not think there was ever any during the day in chat. Some borderline pics, but not actual porn. That seemed to be at night only. (for Western Hemisphere)

    MarissaW: We are all very sorry about all the gay porn. We promise not to do it anymore.

    (Wait, that sounds sarcastic. Seriously, those of us who are responsible have promised not to post any more porn. We honestly don't want to get anyone in trouble.)

    And only on the weekend. And actually, there was only porn that one night as far as I can tell. And I don't think there's ever been anything NSFW at all in chat on weekdays.

    Apparently, however, approximately 95% of Domebo's userbase was accessing chat from work right then.

    Oh, guys, I don't want to be the catalyst for forcing people to not post what they like. I'm sorry if what I said sounded passive aggressive. I was just trying to explain why I'm mostly in lurker mode.

    Don't sweat it, just letting you know chat is now PG 24x7. It wasn't last week.

    No, not at all. I just wanted to make it clear as one of the perpetrators of this whole kerfuffle that this stuff was not a routine, normal thing and not something we're planning to repeat. Please don't apologize, there shouldn't be porn in chat and just because the people actively chattering that night wanted to post naughty pics doesn't mean everyone who happens by should have to see them.

    I want to thank everyone who has made the promise not to post porn in chat. I have no problem at all with NSFW threads, labeled such, but I think it's best for all concerned if that's where the porn stays. And I don't think it's fair to whatever mod happens along to force them to spend all night deleting pics that shouldn't be there, so on their behalf, I thank you, as well.

    There's an advert on a website called Squidoo maintained by tirial for Domebo. The advert was rated "X" after the gay porn incident, and nearly cost tirial her account there.

    ETA: tirial, I believe I sent you an apology by PM. Did you receive it?

    Yes, she came to chat to explain it. It seems that she rated the site a "G" rating when she set it up. The terms of service for the site state that to be a G rated lens there can't even be vulgar language so it's surprising that there wasn't a problem even before this as there is vulgar language and NSFW images on other parts of the site. I am *in no way* excusing the porn posted in chat the other day, but a G rating (by Squidoo's own standards, not ours) seems like a bad selection.

    I for one appreciate your apology Excalibur and am glad that you have come to realize that some of your impulsive posting behaviors are not appropriate for this board. No hard feelings here.

    What should the rating be? I suggest that NC-17 will not help us on Squidoo. Should it be R-rated? What kinds of ratings do they have at Squidoo?

    From the description of ratings on Squidoo's FAQ:

    G-rated: Any lens content that is safe for all ages and all eyeballs is considered G-rated. 99% of our lenses fall into this category. Please, no swearing, no nudity, no Adult content. It doesn't need to be Snow White and Spongebob, but it can't be four-letter or Playboy! P.S. We do our best to make sure that the Google ads and others that show up on your lens match the content and audience of your page. But imagine how hard it is to decide whether a woman in a swimsuit is considered G or R rated. (I'm sure we can all agree that if she's OUT of the swimsuit, it's X-rated!). So, we'll trust the professional ad systems we use to make their best guesses, and as always, we'll keep tweaking and experimenting for the best results for you.
    R-rated: If it feels like an R-rated movie, it's probably R-rated. R-rated lenses can contain strong language and racier content, just no pornography please.
    X-rated: Yep, explicit Adult content goes here. Nudity, graphic images and language, this is your spot.
    As part of our G, R and X ratings system, we default all "Adult" categorized lenses to an X-rating. If you feel your lens is more R-rated than X, please feel free to change its setting in the righthand sidebar of your Lens Workshop. But remember, if your lens is X-rated and is not appropriately marked, it could a) get "reported" by fellow Squidoo members as inapppropriate b) get locked from view.

    X rated lenses don't earn revenue for lensmasters. If ads are run by Squidoo on X rated lenses, the revenue earned by us will go to our charity fund, to our overhead and, at our discretion, to a bonus pool for selected lenses.
    G-rated requires no swearing, along with the images being kept clean. The images, at least, are now being taken care of.

    Because of the language restrictions we're probably typically closer to R-rated than anything else, the unfortunate pornographic incident aside.

    Aside from X-rated limiting the number of surfers from Squidoo, it also prevents the "lensmaster" from collecting any revenue, though money can still go to charity.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    The point is that a G rating for Domebo was never a good idea, since by Squidoo's standards that would exclude things like "four letter" words. There has never been a restriction on profanity on the index page or in chat so I am at a loss to figure out why tirial thought a G rating would be appropriate. We are not about to start making decisions about what is allowed here based on the idea that if we stop saying fuck we might get some nominal boost from a website no one ever heard of.

    I don't know what the rating system is like on Squidoo but it seems a PG-13 or even an R is more in line with what usually goes on it chat. Of course, everyone agrees that the porn was a mistake and that it should not happen again.

    That's another thing, too. When we were looking at Squidoo last night what we found seems to indicate that it is primarily a way of generating revenue, via ads, to the person who runs the lens, which in this case is tirial.

    I did not know that. So tirial is just doing it to make some money off the board? Any publicity is better than no publicity, but that's a little tacky.

    I don't think this is true. I'm not sure of the whole story, but when she came to explain in chat the other day, she was probably overwhelmed. There were dozens of questions a minute being tossed at her and a lot never got clarified.

    I absolutely would not say that, and I'm sure any money made from a website like us would be extremely minimal anyway (Squidoo also donates some of the proceeds to charity). I think she was excited about Domebo and wanted to share it. But I admit the fact that the lens could potentially generate income, and that the income would not go to Domebo, makes me a little ambivalent about the entire issue.
