Rule 7 and YOU!

[Yuki]

Reposting from an old thread where Amethyst outline Rule 7, the ever-infamous and ever-broken rule against overt sexual content!

I see very often that people are confused as to what this rule entails, so here it is!:

(We typically mute for anything over category 3-- that's 4-9)

5. Vulgar Joke

6. Using a Vulgar Name

7. Graphic/vulgar Discussion

~~--############--~~

1. Light Sexual Discussion-

Brief mention of sexual conduct, either in passing or skitting across details.

"I'd so do her"

"We get done "Doing things" then I whisper to him "Kitchen now"~<3"

*** EFG hides his whips. ***

Things that could sorta be Rule 7 if you read it that way but don't necessarily have to be.

"EFG's Tactic Handbook Rule # 253: Don't put it in if you're not sure"

2. Explicit Innuendo-

Regardless of how explicit it may or may not actually be, Your Mom/In Bed jokes fall here. 'Course, it's easy for those to just get annoying if used more than once or twice, don't be afraid to mute on that regard.

Inoffensive/non-vulgar puns

"Roadside ass-istance"

Minor allusions to kinks, etc

"(perhaps refering to the ladder) Alright, I'm finally rising to the top!" "Oh, really? I thought you were total sub."

3. Mature Discussion-

Although it's often far from mature, it is more contained, so let's consider games a la Truth or Dare part of this.

Legitimate discussion seeking advice/etc on sexual affairs

Discussions regarding individual tastes/preference in sex (assuming it's kept relatively clean). Not including things as simple as "Psh, blondes are so much better." Even if we are. Rather, preferences about the act itself.

A border-line case: "This guy was like "Does being a whore help you sleep at night?" I replied saying "Hell yeah, after sex you can helppp goooood"" While not exactly mature, persay, it's neither light nor vulgar.

Also included in this category are songs and images that you wouldn't want say, an 10-11 year old to see/hear but would normally be enjoyed by teenagers.

4. Inappropriate Imagery

This is pretty simple. Posting pointless things such as:

"8========D~~~~"

" / /(())\ \ "

So on. Regretablly it didn't comfortably fit into any of the other categories.

5. Vulgar Joke-

Sexually-oriented humor at another's expense.

"People who ___ are fags/sissies" etc. This may also fall under disrespect, but this covers in case it's not aimed at a specific person.

Creating inappropriate anagrams from words. Neku used to be a fan of this, but has calmed down a litte lately. For instance,

"Hmmmm U.S.A = Under-Sexed Assholes"

Also included are songs that are overly sexual/inappropriate... Like... Khia, My neck/My back.

6. Using A Vulgar Name-

"DJ Kirby Big Cock"

"i raep u all"

"NIGGERTITS"

"Penisploded"

"gaycox"

Good rule of thumb? Suppose you met a person on a street, shook their hand as they said, "Hello, my name is _____"

"My name is Niggertits, nice to meet you."

If the name at this point would want to make you remove your hand, slowly back away and then run, then it is inappropriate.

7. Vulgar/Graphic discussion

Uncontrolled/immature and/or excessive sexual discussion

"My cock is so fucking huge and hard"

"can i get pussy on this server?"

"It's all I can do to not touch myself right now"

Those are borderline examples. I don't think I have to elaborate on more direct cases.

Also included is posting lightly or tastefully pornographic material. This clause is mainly here to make distinct the punishment between something like this (such as Kajj's wanting to share PokePorn with everyone because he thought they would enjoy it) versus a case of level 9 offense.

8. Offensive "discussion"

Note discussion is in quotes because the closest this usually gets to discussion as is is a person saying it and then getting banned. A la DJ Kirby.

Alternatively, Invasive "discussion"

"EFG loves my cock in his anus every night"

*** EFG shoves penis in everyone's faces ***

Also included is sexual harassment. Be it in PMs or otherwise

"will you be my feet mistress?"

Asking for nudes, etc

All that stuff you learned in 4th grade to tell a trusted adult if someone does to you.

9. Posting Vulgar/Pornographic Material

A la 2girls, tubgirl, meatspin. Things intentionally spammed/trick-posted to make people click and say, "OH MY GOD. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT. MY EYESSSSSSSS." The exception to this rule is Saya posting pictures of me, because although they are not anything close to the aforementioned sites/videos, they tend to elicit the same reaction. QQ

And to clarify, we generally ask that category-3 things be taken to a PM or back channel if they want to continue for long.
