Forums / Maintenance / Suggest Ideas

Inspired by some posts in this thread and I've been waiting to talk about this for a long time. I really get sick of the endless porn that gets uploaded and the fact that some users pretty much just upload porn and find more to fap to. If that's all they want, what the hell are they doing on KYM and not on a porn site? All KYM can offer is softcore stuff, and bombing galleries with porn doesn't really contribute much. Not only that, but the userbase encourages it and puts these images in the trending box ALL THE TIME. Some times I even try to complain about it a bit but I just get laughed at and downvote-bombed. Another reason why it bugs me is more of a personal reason than a real one, but a lot of it happens to be R34 of stuff I really like and it kind of ruins some stuff for me.

Anyways, I just really wanted to get this out there and I know just a few other users have this same issue and I'm not alone, so I'd like to get some opinions on this. Maybe porn should be monitored stricter so it isn't as borderline actual porn as it is sometimes or it can be kept out of the trending box, or nothing done at all. Ideas? Opinions?

I think you're overreacting. It's just softcore and there's nothing wrong with that. There are far more disturbing things on this site.

I'm going to camp and wait for Melonlord to get here
The mindset here is that this site provides something Paheal doesn't is better organization. I would much rather have softcore of something I would like then normal porn with futa surrounded all over the page.

I've more or less stated my opinion in the other thread, but I'll restate it here.

We're a resource for information. As such, the image galleries are there for us to upload images that are relevant and give an example of the article in question. Personally, I think our obsession with uploading borderline r34 is getting ridiculous. And the sad thing is users won't stop anytime soon because we all know that posting some tits is a quick road to multiple thumbs up.

New Flannery design for Pokemon ORAS in the Pokemon gallery? Yeah, that's good to include, pretty relevant. Hot squishy tits of Flannery? Not so much.

Perhaps what gets me is that for me, it just provides clutter in the Trending page. I come here to laugh and learn, not to get erections from stuff I could just as easily Google.

Don't we have something along the lines of a less ponies filter? Would it be possible to adapt it into a less porn filter?

As much as I'd love that, there's no good way to implement it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pony filter doesn't prevent pony-related images to reach the Trending page, it just prevents images from the MLP gallery from reaching the Trending page. Since you can upload borderline r34 to pretty much ANY gallery, the filter would have to filter based on the tags instead of the articles, and good luck getting users to tag their images accordingly.

TL;DR: I personally would love to see some of the softcore/bordlerline porn gone and/or uploaded less, but don't see it happening. If you see images that you think break rules, please report them. Feel free to ask mods about images that you are unsure about as well. However, in terms of trying to change the "culture of uploads", good luck. One way I personally deal with it is to upload SFW examples (with tags and source) to try and create a better balance with the suggestive ones. They never get nearly as many votes as the others, but it makes me feel better.

I haven't been as active in media as I want to be, but I agree with Jacob's take.

The most complete fix is to implement a good tagging system that can be enforced and then to create a filtering system for each individual user. We don't have the manpower to enforce such tags, we don't have the consistent system of tags and aliases to actually filter consistently, and the filtering system would be something else entirely beyond mod power.

As it stands, as long as it's not NC/Explicit, then it can be on the site. If it's more risque than SFW but not as explicit as NC, then it can still be on the site.

There's really no way to change it. I don't understand why people just don't use other sites with better favoriting and filtering systems, but I just play and moderate by the rules.

@Thread title: Tell me where you've found this porn. I've been needing to get off for a while and so far this site has been disappointing.

Here's the real test. Would you classify THIS as porn?

Well, it's not like every other picture is a porn picture or something. (Plus I wouldn't really call it porn but that's not the point here.)

And most questionable/sexy/porny pictures don't add anything relevant to the galleries, but that goes for the majority of pictures. Some are funny and irrelevant, some are porny and irrelevant, I don't see why the porny ones are a problem. Unless it's the actual content, which is allowed, and not very objectionable, and usally it's behing the NSFW box.
It's not like it clutters the gallery either.

Plus, none of it has any obscene parts visible.

So yeah, I don't see the problem.

Perhaps what gets me is that for me, it just provides clutter in the Trending page. I come here to laugh and learn, not to get erections from stuff I could just as easily Google.

People have different reasons to visit a site, and yours is not a privelege. As long as it's allowed within the site rules, it should be fine to be present in the galleries.

If you see the NSFW tag, chances are what you see below it will be ecchi. We don't force people to click the NSFW tag, it's there for a reason.

I don't think it's so bad personally.

I mean it's nothing like the sexy image reposting sprees that the pony gallery used to see. (and that was before we even had NSFW tags).

I also think the presence of sexy images here within the rules kinda does contribute something in a way, because a site about internet phenomenon really wouldn't be as comprehensive as it could be imo without a sexy image here and there and a sterile article about rule 34.

its not that bad, i mean just ignore the nsfw, i do it with images i don't like all the time
