Ok Every Body All these rules stand so Please for the groups sake
Peacefully oblige with them!

Quote by shinsengumiDear members of the Yuri Lovers group,

Groups are free to exercise some degree of autonomy when it comes to their subject and their day to day administration. However, the General Policy of the community still applies in all parts of Minitokyo, groups included. Note, in particular, the following passage:

It is forbidden to submit any material that is unlawful, false, misleading, harmful, insulting, threatening, abusive, invasive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, hateful, racially or otherwise objectionable, including without limitation material of any kind or nature that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, provincial, national, or international law or regulation. (emphasis added)

As such, members are to stop posting material that does not meet this criteria, even in guestbooks. There is certainly a good amount of material that has been submitted recently that is certainly pornographic in nature. Please remove them as soon as possible, and refrain from posting similar material in the future.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

Sincerely,
shinsengumi

As I am the founder of the Anti-Ecchi Club, I can understand how you may think this. I have always tried to be as fair as possible in my arbitration, and so I take your concerns seriously. However, the rules regarding explicit and pornographic material have been in effect since before I even joined Minitokyo.

Note that the General Policy (which applies to all areas of the site including groups), though it forbids pornography, it does not explicitly forbid nudity. Nudity is not tolerated in the galleries because it is deemed inappropriate for the galleries, but as groups are free to exercise autonomy in action as long as they abide by the general policy, it is acceptable to post nude images that would otherwise be unacceptable for the galleries in group guestbooks as long as they are not vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise in violation of the General Policy.

The Yuri-Lovers group, however, is in a difficult position. Yuri, as I understand it, specifically refers to lesbian pornography, as opposed to shoujo-ai, which refers to lesbian romance. As such, yuri is by definition not permitted on Minitokyo.

I hope this clarifies things, and I hope that I do not come off as being someone who is abusing power or unfairly interpreting or applying the stated Policy that governs this community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will see what I can do to be of assistance.

Aahhhh....Ok. I accept and agree the new rules.

so does this mean we can't show explict pic on the page or we can't show them at all. like we can't have a link to them. also with this rule does it mean they are going to take the explict pic that are in our group or does it mean from now on we can't show them
