Concerns Over Inactive !Reports by Coyote-Solitarius

I totally understand staff is busy, and I've spoke to a staff member directly about this issue in the past with some success, but I'm really really concerned that Weasyl only prohibits child porn in writing, but not in action. Several pieces I reported a considerable time ago have not been removed. These pieces are XXX and tagged with things like "shota", so there really isn't room for debate whether or not they break the rules.

Weasyl's AUP Includes the following:
C. Prohibited Upload Material
Minors in Sexual Situations: Submissions and other uploaded content must not contain characters who are, or are depicted as being, under the age of eighteen engaged in sexual or sexually suggestive situations. Links directing to material of minors engaged in sexual situations are also prohibited on the site. "Depicted as being under the age of eighteen" can mean one of two things:
-The character is referred to or implied as being under 18, whether in a visual or written piece, or;
-The character in question has small child- or infant-like proportions (excepting stylized depictions of adults that incorporate childlike proportions, e.g. “chibi”). Canon is taken into consideration; however, if the character has the appearance of being under 18 or is not depicted “aged up”, the submission may still be removed.

I'm very very not okay with child porn and I don't want to use a site that condones it.
If there's a way to streamline the process of keeping this rubbish off Weasyl and if there's more I can do to help, let me know.

    Well that's disconcerting.

    Yikes. That's not okay. What is this, Furaffinity?

      God I hope not. If they take that route, I'm out. I left FA when they had kiddie porn, and I'll leave Weasyl just the same.

        luckily FA banned kiddy porn a few years back though. now all the wannabe/active pedos are on InkBunny. :I

          Like Weasyl, it's against the TOS, but not enforced 100%. On FA if you're popular enough, they'll let it slide.

            i've not seen much kiddy porn get posted and only seen the pedo-kin folks jump ship going batshit about it all thankfully. but i totally understand what ya mean with the pop-folks getting special treatments to feed their established egomania. :/

    So what does that leave? Sofurry?

      I recall them allowing cub, but that may not still be the case. :/

        I'd just get over it. Live an let live.

          I don't condone child porn, and I don't feel comfortable using a site that allows it. Simple as that.

          • Link

            Porn policing doesn't sound like a very fulfilling hobby.

            Also, nobody gives a fuck about what you feel comfortable with. Well the staff don't anyways.

              People who respect me, respect my comfort levels, and won't expect me to put myself in an uncomfortable situation because it suits them.

    Not 100% sure if I am reading this correctly. So if I report image A and the character is CLEARLY underaged but the artist SAYS NOTHING about age then they will not take it down?
    But if I report image B where they either say or hint that the character IS underaged they WILL take it down?

    I have reported ALOT of underaged art since I have been on here and alot of them never said a thing, it was just obvious and they were all removed.

      The artist tags the image "shota", character is obvious under age, I report it, nothing happens.
