PLEASE NOTE:
All sexually explicit content posted from this point on will be deleted. This includes images (profile pics, drawings, photos, etc) and writing (RP, stories, "cybersex," and such, regardless of writing skill level). The mods have made this decision due to the fact that allowing sexually explicit content on a website with such a young userbase has the potential to get GTQ into legal trouble (it is illegal for minors to produce, share, and view/read/purchase sexually explicit content). Keep in mind that "fading to black" or implying sexual scenes is allowed, but that writing out sexual content and posting it here is not allowed.
Thank you, and if you find anything being posted, feel free to email me at pineconical[@]gmail.com or contact any of the other mods. This will be completely anonymous.Moderator -

Was gtq guy involved and can you link to your legal sources?

Le1F Novice"The currupt mods have made this decision" by themselvs

Obviously a Tumblr blog is not a legal source, but this person explains the different points that go into children not contributing to or being part of sexual situations of any kind, and cites several legal sources to go along with it.
GTQ Guy was not involved in this particular decision. He did, however, set forth the groundworks by creating the original "no sexual content" rule. Since there is somehow still some kind of debate going on as to whether some sexual content is okay, we are putting our foot down on all of it, quite publicly. Any and all sexual content will be deleted, regardless of any "but technically.." bullsht any of you cheeky smartses out there may have for us. We will not be humoring anyone that tries to wriggle around this statement.
Furthermore, because I'm sure it'll be brought up later, I'm well aware that one of the mods has been involved in sexually explicit RPs here on Gotoquiz in the past. That will not be happening anymore and is no longer relevant. That mod stands with us on this. -
Since all sexual content is being removed when will all the past smut get deleted?
-
We're leaving old things alone so no one will be penalized without warning. From here on, however, we will be taking action against any new content.
-
Legal action can be taken on old content just as much as new content.
-
I have to go to work. One of the other mods will answer any further questions on their own time.

Do some good shenanigans

when gtq is unfortunately going all pc

If you have a problem with no sexual content being on the site, then please, by all means, delete it.
Unfortunately, Geeky, Walmart insists on retaining an air of professionalism which prevents most of the shenanigans I got away with at KFC.
Since another mod hasn't come along and answered that last statement, while all of the content is actionable, there has been spotty to no clear consequences for it up until now, giving everyone the idea that it's fine. I understand that it's risky to keep it, but I don't believe we can punish those who wrote the questionable content under the pretense that it was allowed here. If there was a way for us to delete it without penalizing the users responsible, we'd do it. -
This was my break, so if I am needed here again, I'll have to respond in a couple hours. Have a lovely day, sunflowers.

The pretense that it was allowed despite rules saying it isn't?
This thread is locked, therefore no new posts can be made.
