To clarify my objection, as someone who in the past bit the bullet and paid for a script from a scripter without free scripts to check how good it was, to end up disappointed, anything that incentivize paid scripters to release free scripts so we can check their quality is a good thing in my opinion.
We shouldn’t be incentivizing users to pollute the free scripts section with low quality content.
The free scripts section is a fine place to advertise paid content. But as the forum takes no money from these scriptors they can “Pay” for their advertisement with good quality free scripts, that’s the bare minimum I feel scriptors owe for the opportunity, which I remind everyone, is optional.
This is a community with little oversight, and I’d like to stay out of it as much as possible, but I also acknowledge we should be trying to prevent abuses like so.
I won’t generally be looking at the quality, but if someone reports, or I notice a post with the free part 1 structure and the heatmap shows almost no action over the course of the video, what does the free script provide to anyone besides the poster?
But no scripter has any incentive to make free low quality content if they want the sales on their paid content.
That’s why I’m asking if this is a real issue.
The free scripts section’s value to a scriptor is that’s where most people go. So they obviously would post there as an ad for their paid content. Again, this is fine, in fact it’s optional, and free to do so. I don’t think it’s asking very much to at a minimum make your ad contain quality content.
You keep ignoring my question about whether that’s a real issue so I’ll stop the discussion here.
Define “real issue”
I thought it was clear:
Thanks in advance for letting me into the discussion a bit late.
This is a very sound catch, not gonna lie. Thank you for pointing that out, that’s something that can easily get lost unless you’re experiencing this issue regularly.
In response to the reply from this topic (Upcoming loli/shota ban and timeline - #603 by VladTheImplier) about the unbanning loli/shota content and failure to follow the rules of the ban that those in charge placed I’d like to put forth the unbanning of celebrity deepfakes. If I remember the final reason for banning it was to avoid legal issues (yes there are moral reasons but the same can be said for loli/shota). sites like Mrdeepfakes are still around and I haven’t heard anything about them being banned or even legally challenged on a federal level for years (yes they may be banned on a local level in some places but we’ve seemed to ignore local level laws so far on many other issues).
From what I can understand so long as its not tried to be passed off as them in reality its legally a go hence why most videos of its type are named “not XXXX” and/or have a disclaimer saying its fake. If we follow the same rules I dont see why they shouldn’t be allowed (again I’m ignoring moral reasoning due to the many morally gray things we DO allow). I can agree to no revenge porn things like an ex but I think celebs should be accepted.
If you want to put forth suggestions for the site you should use the Site Feedback category, not this topic.
The topic is about discussing rules, seems appropriate.
This topic is about rules regarding Free Scripts category. Your proposal would be better in its own thread.
Where we are planning to migrate to deepfake porn is still illegal.
Nonetheless we still dont want to support content that hurts real people.
STOP HIDDING OLD FREE SCRIPS PLZ
Just tried to find more parts of a sence, and suddenly can’t find anything. All previous link are died.
Rules are fine but plz make it start from now, instead of all past works.
I’m not aware of any of us retroactively hiding links.
It might be the original posters, which they can do so if they choose.
which makes complete sense, deepfakes shouldnt be illegal for personal use, but i totally get distribution of such content as that could have very real world effects on people who dont deserve that hassle, with the other topic of concern [cartoon characters which despite looking like their 12 are usually 1200) that risk only happens with a mentally unstable individual who cannot separate reality from fantasy, i can respect if both stay banned though, its important this site protects itself as it is basically the hub for all the efforts of the scripting community.
for those still wanting the cartoon stuff their are other sites located outside the legal areas where they can get hit for such content,and the same is probably true for deepfakes, will it suck not having it all in one place, sure, but its better that, then yall get hit with something that shuts ya down and puts ya in legal hot waters. i do hope the puritans that keep making stuff more and more restricted get their just desserts
Could you give an example? Because links to videos die all the time for any number of reasons. Just ask in the thread for an updated link (assuming it doesn’t go against the new rules obv).
For Exp this one. https://discuss.eroscripts.com/t/cjvr-038-part-1-vr-1mm-no-1/217061
There is no way to find the post detail or an updated link.
If you only hide a topic it won’t turn up in search or in latest or when browsing. However, if you have the link you can still reach the post despite it being hidden.
I don’t think anyone except mods and admins can truly delete posts/topics, only edit. I can’t delete my own topics. When hovering the mouse pointer over the trash bin icon the tooltip tells me that I don’t have the access right.
Really?
I think I need to overhaul the permissions.
Will have to setup an alt to test things.
Hmm, I can delete the post I just made above, but if I check it on the How to script guide I’ve written in the howto section, or my personal page with links to all my script releases, I can’t. Maybe it’s related to how old a topic is or the category where the topic is? Sorry for causing confusion.
