i left the discord so my opinion doesn't matter anymore, i did vote -1 so just remove that -1 from the current votes

No real reason to leave just yet. Hopefully, the two sides can agree that 99% of the problems on the Discord come from porn and other suggestive material being posted in #shitposting. If we can agree to no longer make #shitposting a no-mans-land and lay down a rule or two, then we should be fine having an NSFW meme channel. The only people who really lose anything of substance in this compromise would be the children who get their fetish fap material from there.

Because it's server staff arguing

Yeah im asking why they argue, does discord even require staff of servers to remove things that go against the tos, cause if not, you guys should be telling staff not to argue and only care about server rules instead

I mean we're arguing about whether something is against discord TOS or not and whether it should be removed, plus #shitposting is TOS rules only. We only remove stuff from #shitposting if it's against discord TOS

I personally believe it should stay as its one of the few places on the discord where people can express themselves in any way (that isn't against TOS), and I'm all for people having the freedom to express themselves and their opinions, even if they are "controversial" or "weird". Taking away this privilege limits people and what they can do, making the community feel more closed, or possibly more like a dictatorship ?

One compromise would be to simply split the channels again. Yes, the Porn channel was taken down for too much anti-TOS content, but by simply being more vigilant, there would be less problems. The racist or edgy memes could go in #shitposting and the pornographic content can go in its own channel. It would take work and dedication, but we have discord staff, and they should be willing to put in the effort if it improves the community, which I believe a porn channel can do.

In my experiences through 50+ discord servers, the best ones had 3 or more NSFW channels (One for standard porn and hentai, one for fetishes [Furry, Pony, Feet, BDSM, Etc.] and one for stupid fun memes), or no Fetish material whatsoever. In the servers that allowed porn, often there would be another channel for gay porn or some other subcategory of porn, and this led to people being able to avoid and mute the channels they had no interest in to filter the content they as a member wished to view. In these servers people were happy and never felt forced to view content that they found disgusting while others could view all the content to their hearts content. 

The reverse has happened too. I've been in servers that outright ban all fetish material (Furry, Pony, Feet, BDSM, Etc.) whether they are SFW or not. These communities are small but also happy and have been great places to hang out. I believe that this is not the right route for xG however due to the large population of fetishists. By restricting forcibly restricting the content one can view we shun a large portion of the community and tell them they are not welcome, or that their interests are not welcome, thus  this is counter productive for xG.

To summarize, Just add some other NSFW channels and let people mute the ones they don't care about.

SO after talking with some people in-game, it seems this is a member only vote.

 

11/10 best way to gauge whether or not people want the channel to stay its not like there's a bunch of non-member regulars or anything haha

I mean theres nothing stopping them from coming on here and commenting their opinion

Anyways I'd rather keep the #shitposting channel rather than deleting it because we could just make no porn rule because it makes everything SUPER easy to moderate so we don't have arguments like ''hurr durr does tos allow this?/ uhhhhh it doesn't go against tos?!''

Just rename the channel "#repressedsexualdesires" because it doesn't seem like a lot of shitposting is happening based on all of the complaints ?

Alternatively, as previously suggested by multiple people, just enforce a rule that prohibits any pornographic or otherwise sexually suggestive material. Don't see why that kind of stuff even needs a place here to be perfectly honest.

Or y'know, just cut your losses and get rid of it :coffee:

The focus isn't just porn it's other things that have come into question like infected and gory toes with skin peeling off them ree

I mean I think 90% of xG doesn't wanna see constant furry porn and ponies with giant dicks in their mouth, but hey.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather see questionable things. And don't lie, most of you get curious and take a look. I don't know anyone who isn't a furry and has done the same for furry porn

inb4 -50 rep from the furry members ?

Aren't you a admin of the tf2 division? Doesn't that make you a furry by association?
