Picture moderation

I recently received this email:

We have reviewed content you have recently submitted on your profile pictures and have determined that you have breached the Obscene Content rule on our Social Guidelines to a Questionable extent.

This is a verbal warning, no negative marks have been added to your account this time.

Please carefully read our Social Guidelines found within the Rules section to avoid warnings or bans in the future. Thank you.

Is this just a wind up or a genuine message? If so, can i ask who exactly finds one of the most iconic sculptures in the world obscene? Maybe because a masterpiece has been defaced with some added fat?! Or does a stone cock and balls really upset someone?! This feels like someones having me on but just in case someone is genuinely moderating these things, then well um i guess that person has my sympathies.

To be fair it does say 'to a questionable extent'

Um ..so? School children see this every day, it is one of the most famous of Michelangelo's work. if you find it offensive in any way you should probable get yourself a job in the trump administration.

wooo, I never said I found it offensive.Where it was made by Michelangelo or God himself, there is absolutely no denying that it still can fall into the category of nudity which happens to fall under the Obscene contact rule. Yes, it may be art but some argue that porn movies are a form of art too, don't mean they get a pass on the rule.

To dispute this, you would need to file a player report I believe. They don't discuss this sort of thing here.

Regardless, I think it's pretty clear it was removed under the "Obscene Content" rule (questionably), regardless of what it is.

This is absurd. In the classical sense of the word. Any warning against this player should be struck from the record and everyone involved in the warning given a mud pie to the face. My balls have more sense.

This civilization is absurd.

Nakedness / human form is some kind of evil that must be shunned and censored.

Weapons / violence is an ok thing to see regularly.

The person who gave you the warning is but a pawn of these beliefs.

It's a crime game, we can scam people, perma bounty, moderately flame and troll, embargo, horses heads and sed's in the mail, but a stone penis on some randoms profile page crosses the line?

lol

Chedburn wrote the social guidelines to disallow any full frontal nudity.

The picture on that warning shows just that, I do not see what your issue is there. It is a pretty clear cut rule.

Even on the statue of David??

Are you serious Ched?

I am in the car, not driving lol, returning from a NT property that contained many statues with full frontal nudity in its grounds. Grounds which had young people of all ages. No one was offended and NT properties are visited by some of the biggest prudes in British society.

Ched. You meant actual full frontal of living humans surely, not classical works of art?
