Don’t worry about our finances.

@Background Pony #EDE7
Kickstarter can’t be used for anything related to porn content. Yes, there are “NSFW” KS projects that offer NSFW content, that they describe as “erotic”; that doesn’t fly with a fair amount of content here that’s just outright porn.

@The Smiling Pony
Oh.

Why don’t BPs get to start threads?

@Background Pony #B1E8
Registered users can start threads anonymously.

Unregistered users can’t. Because spambots.

@The Smiling Pony
Fuck spambots.

@Background Pony #B1E8
Agreed
Fuck em out of here!

I just saw there was a thing deleted for “Rule #3: Obligatory pony ship support”. Does this mean any of those images that are just no effort things with two images from the show/comic with a heart put between them?

Cause if that’s deletable I mightbe interested, those things are so no effort.

@Toastypk
That’s a good question. I see that shipping dominos have been sporadically deleted while a lot of them still exist (even in between ones that were deleted). Is there actually a policy about them? Is it just a case of only acting on specific ones that somebody happens to report, instead of tracking them all down?

That said, unlike some other types of low quality pollution, they are easily identifiable and have one dedicated tag, so they’re also easy to filter.

@Background Pony #699F
That is actually interesting
I didn’t know they actually did that

On a scale from you never know what the future has in store to never again, that was a mistake the first time, how likely is it that there will ever be another upload-a-thon? I have a decent cache (100+, but probably less with the duplicates, blurries, and direct faces removed) of Trot Con photos from the past 3 years and am calibrating how motivated I should be to upload them or if they’d be more valuable later [or if I ought to make a dedicated TrotCon photo posting account].

@Background Pony #8B18
I thought it was a lot of fun. I would love to see another one.

@Ciaran
Then I’ll keep ’em in reserve, like aging bourbon, for a while (probably best not to spend Thanksgiving break focused on rapid-fire uploading). Not sure what my 2025 con schedule will look like—may need to skip out on Trot to make budgetary room for EFNW, Gen Con, or Mare Fair.

Please don’t put it during January, as I’ll likely be highly offline that month.

I’ve heard of that and I say “Good Fucking Luck”, you’d be surprised how much Right Wing Voters love their porn, (Even if they won’t admit it), so you can imagine loads of them pressuring their GOP Reps to oppose any sort of restriction or ban.

If there’s one thing folks are Bipartisan on, ITS PORN BEING GUD.

In any case, it’s something to keep an eye on.

@CaptainXtra
It would be nice if all the politics that doesn’t affect this site or that has nothing to do with moderation could be kept in Tartarus

@CaptainXtra
Agreed
they can take our rights!
But THEY CAN NEVER TAKE OUR PORNOGRAPHY!
YAAAAAAAAA
