Colosseum Tournament

[Ururu Kyuuei]

SITE PSA

Hey folks! So Luffy just did something in his fight that some players might consider to be scandalous. Due to a few little factors, it SEEMED to be an issue, when in fact it wasn't. The problem at hand was that he did something that some writers might find TOO insulting to their character, and would be actually real-world offended by.

Here's the important part though: Luffy asked permission. He went out of his way, BEFORE POSTING, to ask the other writer if the thing they were planning to do would be ok. And here's the other important part: they said yes. They didn't not reply, they didn't talk around the issue, they gave a definitive "Yes, that is ok."

This site, as in real life, everything you do that's above and beyond the normal, day to day interaction with another person, DEMANDS consent from the other individual involved. If you get clear, express, and ENTHUSIASTIC consent, do whatever you want so long as you slap an [M] tag on the more lewd things. (Luffy's post was not inherently sexual, but involved a "rude" part of his body, which is still far and away something that he needed to ask consent for.)

We're all writers writing on a site that has adult content, and we are all capable of consenting or NOT consenting to whatever the hell we feel like, and, in general, it's ok so long as SUFFICIENT NOTICE is posted for anyone that might stumble onto your post. Included in that warning, please include the disclaimer that your actions were CONSENTED TO, so that the Staff doesn't blow up your post (or your account) from orbit.

However, if after a bit of due investigation, we find that you have written some degrading or sexual content about another character without enthusiastic consent, we will ban you. We will ban you off the face of the planet. I will personally do my best to ensure you never, ever come back.

I hope that clears up why Luffy's post is ok (now that they've added some [M] tags and a note about consent), and certain other posts by now-banned members was not ok. If there are any questions, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE THE STAFF. This is not a topic we want there to be any ambiguity about.

Oh is that all?
