Thread: Content clarification

I'd like to clarify something about content restrictions.

I recently set up a new forum called "Soulmate" for spiritual single people to discuss issues about finding ones soulmate. Its attracted a small group of really good people who are enjoying discussing all sorts of things.

The majority of the forum is member only, in so far as most of the discussion areas cannot be read by anyone who has not registered, and registration is authorised by myself before anyone can login. If they are not known, they dont get access.

Now in the last day or so, several members have been getting a little more frisky on the forum, and I'm guessing its possible that someone may post a nude pic at some stage in fun.

Now I guess the question is, within a closed forum thats fully password protected (so not available to content robots), not viewable by casual readers, where pics are not stored on my server, would this still be a content violation within vodahost terms ?

If there are any lines there between acceptable and not acceptable, can you spell them out for me ? I'd rather know in advance so I can moderate accordingly. I get porn spam posted every now and then accross my forums, but I always delete them anyway. But this situation is different.

Hi apricot...This your website... you are the publisher... I do believe that as publisher... you are responsible for the content published on your website... D

Responsible yes. Thats why I want to know where the line is as far as Vodahost is concerned. I distinctly remember some sort of nudity prohibition in the site rules and regulations, but I dont recall if links are part of it not. Obviously I cant put any on my site space, but is it an offense for a forum to be be displaying any ? Trying to find where the line is. Last thing I need is being suspended without warning when it could ahve been avoided just by knowing for sure :)

your ok.
