TesNexus is based on the free exchange of ideas and materials in support of "The Elderscrolls Community", and as a rule does not censor any uploaded images or materials. The basic premise is this; If we were to remove a file because any individual or group of individuals find something offensive, the site would eventually have no files available for download, as someone will always take offense to whatever is offered.

With the above being stated there will be exceptions, the most inportant is violating the Terms of Service for the site.

The Admin, Staff and Moderators will take whatever immediate action as they deem necessary at the time to preclude a situation becoming disruptive to the operations of the site. This will in most cases result in the file page in question immediately being set hidden from public viewing, to allow the staff to make a determination as to the corrective action that needs to be taken. The owner, admin, staff and moderators reserve the right to remove any comment, image, file or member that we deem necessary to ensure the smooth and stable operations of the site.

These actions are not open for debate and as you may feel you have a right to freedom of speech TesNexus is not required to provide you with an open platform for your oration.

If you find something that you feel is offensive, please do not respond, retaliate or fan the flames. Use the "Report" button so appropriate action can be taken.

Does that mean the removal of game-based pornographic content?

[Firesea]

I would assume that is covered under the "adult content". The report feature is probably there to flag content that is illegal, hateful or would otherwise expose the site to IRL legal action. To a lesser extent it will probably reduce flame wars as well.

Well, to say the truth, "Terms of Service" covers pornography as well, as I understand. But whatever. I would be truly grateful to site administration if separate adult content filters would be made for files and images, though. Please?

You can keep from seeing adult materials/content by changing your preferences by going to your members page, under preferences and selecting the option to block adult content.

That will block the content from viewing if the adult content flag is set, if you find one where the flag is not set, use the report button on the file page or the forum page requesting a moderator enable it.

The same should be said for the internet in general.

Well said.

Was there something in particular that prompted this topic?

I couldn't agree with buddah more. Flaming is a waste of space (and brainpower!), people should be able to create whatever they want and share it with all who think the same way. to sum it up: YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYBODY EVER!

As a point of accuracy, the terms of service only refer to "obscenity" or "sexual content" (the only terms which I could construe to mean pornography). However, as with pornography, these terms are completely relative and thus in this case means in the opinion of the site owners/administrator.

As the they have deemed to allow it (but in the form of an "adult only" section) they have demonstrated that they have no issues with (in an official capacity--I make no statements as to their personal opinions) it else they would have just removed any content outright.

If anything I simply assume the terms of service should be updated as they are obviously no longer accurate (for the better in my opinion).

While there is much that could be labeled pornography on the site I think it is a relatively small percentage as I don't think any of the many many nudity mods are pornographic in nature (most go well beyond in areas such as complete body rebuilding and clothing modifications).

Adult content does not inherently equal "bad", but in my opinion a very helpful tool so that I don't pop open images like that while I'm at work without realizing what they are

Quoted for truth.

I have taken to tagging most of my stuff as adult now, whether it is or not, and I have to say, it seems to be quite an effective tactic. The number of 'omg teh gay' comments on my content has reduced dramatically as a result.

I shall continue to do this as it seems to work well - we girls are just as entitled to enjoy opposite sex eye candy as the lads.
