Id guess because the Video feature came out. I know *I* dont want to see porn, so if someone COULD flag their video as "sex" or whatever it was called, they be justified in posting it. See what I mean? I could be completely wrong though...so who knows.
Puritans don't have sex? How do they procreate? I mean, sheesh, I'm fairly conservative but I still have sex... Clearly, when see how many children I have...
Another article by a Gather guide just posted one of these new rules:
"The first pertains to sexually explicit visual content. Content intended for mature audiences, or adult themed content is permitted on Gather. However, pornography and sexually explicit images and video are not permitted on Gather. Articles containing erotica are permitted providing the "Adult Themed" setting is used during the publishing process.
Erotica is still safe - just put it under "Adult Themed" (I thought that was dropping LSD - oh well)
I can see why they made the change, now, - they don't want porno put up in the new videos - that would make this site super yucky in a heartbeat!!!!!
Peter, where have you been? The Puritans have been taking over the U.S. for 30 years! It's okay, though. They can't stop us from being naked under our clothes.
Maybe they had to change the rules because some people kept pushing the envelope a little too far...I believe they are the ones who ruined for those of you who like that kind of stuff.
Well, there goes the article I was going to publish later today. Maybe I should just publsih it free of flags and see which one the "community" deems appropriate.
This new rule reminds me of the movie "Farenheit 451"...why don't they just start removing everything that provocative or too intense as well?? The censorship alone will make me leave this Gather in a quickness.
And NO Bradley, I don't want to see your "nekkid booty)...lol!
Censorship in America! Who knew? The First Amendment doesn't exist except in theory. Try to use it for your own good and see how quick you bankrupt yourself trying to get a day in Court.
These things can't 'legally' be removed; BUT WAKE UP - they can be banned in the name of 'political correctness' and renaming bad things. So now the "N" word is up there in realm of words we have to pretend we don't know. Naked photos have to be removed to protect children's innocence. Sex is only for the procreation of the species and all is well in Darwin's world.
The President can get a little face from an ugly girl and deny he cheated on his wife. We can go to war that was justified and then later find out we were lied to with the explanation 'Mistakes Were Made'. I love that term - you can lie and then admit it without having consequences.
If sex were just for procreation, I would be signed off in a heartbeat. I mean have you ever tried giving birth. It ain't a trip to Disneyland! Without the big O, we'd all be doomed. lol

I could not care less if I can't post pictures of a sexual nature and I don't have a vid camera to make any racy vids.
I would like to know what happened to my Icon and half of the pictures I posted. Ya think that picture of an Eagle was too sexy?
ha haha hee hee

PEACE.

Meanwhile, Peter -- put some clothes on under your clothes! Sheesh!
