Another quote from their policy team:
Our policy regarding adult or mature content may include any material that is not appropriate for all audiences. While this obviously includes full nudity or sexual activity, it may also include textually explicit sexual content, image or video content containing lewd or provocative poses, strategically covered nudity, see-through or sheer clothing, and close-ups of anatomy that would be inappropriate if shown nude. Additionally, topics such as sexual health and sex tips may be held to a higher standard of professionalism than content that isn't bordering on mature.

Apparently, from what Justin posted re: Google policies, that means this site won't get to see the complete unedited version of Heretic's Sex Tips. :(

So here's the incomplete, edited version.

No, sir. This is the Internet.

Can you not put adsense code in the basement?

I don't know that half-naked women is what drove J.J. to become so popular to begin with. I thought that was what por* and bigbustybabes dot com is for. Although, to be fair, I do remember there being thread on J.J. dedicated entirely to hot women and pictures of them. So, I wonder how the old site circumvented that issue, since J.J. has always featured ads to a certain extent. I am assuming they are operating under a different provider of some sort. I don't know.
^this. people (at least the majority) went to JJ to talk sports and trivia. This placed started up, thanks to justin, after jj got greedy and alienated all the posters. My assumption was the main reason for the site was to talk sports and trivia. It had/has a lot of that, but --also because of the freedom from JJ's posting rules--people could see they could post freely about more provocative material, pics of women, etc. The borders gradually got stretched a bit, and much of the posting on serious business became more adult oriented, and less family oriented. Many of the people I know that came here from jj noticed, and didn't like that take. (many obviously did). But those that didn't went away. and the "family oriented" sports and trivia posters don't come here. Or they come and they leave when the see the material. And there are actually quite a few of those people out there. Personally I think more people would eventually show up and stay if the site were a little more family friendly--realizing that"all this takes away all or our American freedoms" such as being able to insert sexually provocative speech into any and all subjects. I for one will enjoy the site more, though realize i'm probably in the minority of posters here in saying that.

This place has never been family oriented. Nor do I think it was intended to be.

This place might not ever have been intended to be family oriented, but I also don't think it was ever intended to serve as a place to achieve sexual gratification. Let's stick to sports and trivia. The information superhighway is full of naked women.

Am I allowed to post a link to imgur if it contains no adsense and I say don't click on it at work? Because I feel like it would be a crime not to, and it has a monkey, and Katy Perry has a decent voice.

If not, just delete the post, I guess.

Right. I'm not even talking about the sexual stuff. The topics here are and have always been far from family friendly.

Or, I didn't see your post. Currently it is not allowed in the basement. I am still trying to determine if just not having adsense code there is safe or not. Once I get an answer on that I will adjust the rules accordingly.
