| (How To) NSFW_List |

| |
| It's not secret info. |
| It's not late breaking news. |
| It's arguably Fubar.com's most discussed topic. |
|
NSFW Pictures |
| I'm pretty sure you've gotten that message in your inbox... the nasty letter from Fubar_Shop informing you that your favorite picture of you wearing a speedo, bra or thong has been flagged as containing adult content (commonly referred as NSFW). I'm also sure you've looked at that photo and said, "Well, I don't see this as offensive," and stormed into the Support Lounge or sent a shout / private message to a fu-bouncer and stated, "Please,Unmark this image!!" |
| It seems the bigger issue is that the general membership and the bouncers that moderate public photos are not on the same page when it comes to what is considered SFW and what is NSFW. |
This article will serve two purposes:
- To educate the reader on exactly what bouncers are instructed to look for when determining whether or not a picture is either NSFW or SFW.
- To give the reader a general background as well as inform the reader of the process and why bouncers use it.
|
| This article is not intended to be "The Letter of the Law", nor is it to be used to find out how to circumvent the rules. All final rulings on how NSFW is interpreted belongs to site staff (level 150 and above). |
| As of January 01, 2009; (Blog Updated as Necessary) the guidelines listed below are what bouncers are expected to follow. Keep in mind that most of these criteria will depend on what folder the picture is in. Pictures in "The Default Album" or set as a "Primary Image" will be moderated with stricter guidelines than ones that are in Regular Folders. |
| What Is NSFW |
|---|
-
Sexually suggestive pictures
- Blatant nudity, including exposed genitals, breasts, buttocks
- Pictures focusing on just the above, whether covered or not (usually, but not always, there will be no face in the shot)
- Depending on the Focus of the shot. Shots of a member's torso with no head
- Legs spread wide, regardless of whether or not the member is wearing underwear
- Gripping or holding an erogenous zone through one's clothing
- Any depiction of a sexual act
- Sexual Play Toys
-
Primary photos that have swear words in them
- Essentially, George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words." However, words like "hell" & "boobs" show up on prime-time broadcast television and usually won't be moderated. Avoid the major shock words.
-
Improperly displayed weapons
-
Drugs
- Drugs or drug use depicted in "The Default Album" or as a"Primary Image" will be moderated. In any folder other than "The Default Album", bouncers will usually leave them alone.
-
Overly tasteless or violent images
- Excessive gore, blood, or dismembered body parts
- Anything representing extreme violence
- Bodily waste (urine, feces), Persperation / Body Sweat is not considered NSFW.
-
Any image slandering any ethnic group
- You may have images promoting your ethnic group in a positive way ("Full-Blooded Italian," "Kiss me: I'm Irish," etc.). Racist or derogatory images in your album will be moderated.
|
|
| What Is SFW |
|---|
-
Tattoos
- As long as the image would be considered Safe For Work, and as long as the focus of the image is clearly the tattoo and not the breast it's on, then displaying a tattoo is an exception to the "must have a head in the shot" rule.
-
Marijuana pictures
- Seeing as Fubars Servers are based in California and weed is technically legal there Bouncers will now leave Marijuana Pics in default or Primary alone.. (Please don't run up to a Bouncers and ask him or her to unflag your entire farm if they have already been flagged.)
-
Cusswords
- As long as it is not in "The Default Album" or set as a "Primary Photo", a picture with a swear word is not necessarily NSFW.
-
Legs
- As long as the focus is on your legs and you aren't including your buttocks, legs are not NSFW. Yes, you are allowed to set a shot of your legs as your primary photo.

| The What and The Why |
|---|
| The Goal |
|---|
| This Section still being Updated. It will be active before Next Blog Review (10/01/2009).. |
| The general mindset used here is: keep the public areas clean. If it can be accessed by someone who is not logged in, it is considered a public area and therefore should not contain anything NSFW. |
|
Stash: This section will be filled before next update (10/01/2009)
|
|
Blogs: This section will be filled before next update (10/01/2009)
|
|
Profile: This section will be filled before next update (10/01/2009)
|
|
Mumms: This section will be filled before next update (10/01/2009)
|
|
Comments: This section will be filled before next update (10/01/2009)
|
|
| Community Moderation |
|---|
| Fubar.com is a community-moderated site. Fubar Bouncers cannot be everywhere, as much as they try to be. By responsibly and appropriately flagging your own NSFW (whether it be Blogs, Mumms, Pics, etc...), you make their jobs a little easier. By reporting NSFW content you come across, you do your part. |
| Be aware that everything that gets reported is reviewed by a Fubar_Bouncer. It is not flagged NSFW until a bouncer sets it as such. |
| Also: be aware that while the person you flag has no reliable way of knowing it was you who reported the item, bouncers are able to determine this with 100% accuracy. Bouncers will not rat anyone out, but if they find you are flagging someone's pictures purely out of spite, envy or malice, you risk losing your Fubar.com account, irrevocably. Your VIP status, level, and rank does not factor into this equation. |
|
| What happens when a picture is marked NSFW? |
|---|
| From a technical standpoint, NSFW content you own is invisible to people who aren't on your friend list. It also will not show up for people who are level 0 (Freshmeat), or people who have the "Show NSFW content" flag in their settings turned off (set to "No"). NSFW Folders can only be seen by those who are on your friends list. |
| Content marked NSFW will also not show up in the "recent" pages on the site (pictures will not appear in "Recent Photos," global MuMMs will not appear in the "Recent MuMMs" list, etc.). |
| In addition, photos marked NSFW cannot be ripped, submitted as a salute or set as a profile background image. This is why it is important to mark your NSFW pictures, even if those pictures are in private folders. Someone on your friends list with access to the photo can rip it and use it as his or her primary picture. When that happens and that picture gets marked NSFW, you will also receive a notification that your picture was marked NSFW (in fact, any copies of that picture on Fubar that were ripped from you will also be marked). |
| We do this to keep that picture you took for your girlfriend on that special night from floating across the scrolling marquee at the top of the screen (referred as the Online Members Bar), which shows the primary pictures of people who are currently online. |
|
| What if I have something that I believe is sfw? What should I do?? |
|---|
-
If you believe you have somthing you think is sfw, the correct procedure is as follows
- Go to the Help Page to contact a bouncer.
- When Choosing this open you can either send a Fubar Bouncer a shout or a private message.
- Please send the Bouncer you chose a fully detailed message (include links if applicable)
- This option should be first on your agenda to get something reviewed
- The next step if a Bouncer does not reply is to go to the Fubar_Support_Lounge.
- Most Bouncer's will be busy helping Members in the Support Lounge.
- Politely wait your turn (a bouncer may be busy helping someone else), when it is your turn as that bouncer if they will review the nsfw item in question
(Their Reply will most likely be: "?whoever?: Please Send me a Friends_Request and link me to the NSFW Item you want reviewed. Thank You").
- Please Do Not Post Links in the "Support_Lounge", It will most likely get you Ejected or Banned.
- For both options listed above Please allow the bouncer some time to fully review the photo (sometimes they may be asking someone for a second opnion. If it deemed SFW you will receive an automatically generated private message from Fubar_Support stating the particular item was unmarked. If the bouncer deems that the item is actually NSFW (a valid flag), that bouncer will explain in their best knowledge why it is NSFW.
- Please Be Advised: Bouncers are not obligated to unmark anything set as NSFW, even if you believe it is safe for work. Also, bouncers will not go searching through any folder to clear flags from. You must provide them with the link.

| What are the rules About Lounges & Lounge Cams? |
|---|
| So its been a strong debate on what a lounge can and can't do. |
-
Lounge Cam Rules:
- No Children under the age of 18
- No Pornographic Material (i.e. Special Adult Film on T.V.)
- No Sexual Innuendo
- No Sexual Intercourse (of any form)
- No Sexual Play (ie. foreplay, etc...
- As long as lounge is {(NSFW)} a Lounges Cam can show any part of the body.
|
-
Lounge Room Rules:
- Some of the rules given for lounges is located on the Lounge Creation Page or in the Fubar Bible. If you are still wanting to know more about any of these rule please send a private message to Fubar Support, a Fubar Bouncer or the owner of this blog. Until more is given it will not be posted..
|
|
| Conclusion |
|---|
| This blog is not to be used as a way t go around the Rules by any means. If you have any questions about whether something is SFW or whether something is NSFW feel free to private message a Fubar Bouncer. You will find that communication is the best way to resolve many problems. |
