Over the last 3 months, the quality of jakparty.soy has dropped greatly, primarily due to an influx of pedophillic posts, but also because of Administration's overreach due to the non-clarity of certain rules. To remedy this, I have a rule rewrite proposal:
0. Content Illegal under United States law is banned.
1. Loli, shota, cub, jailbait, and child abuse content is banned. Posts advocating for pedophillia or its normalization are banned. Posts lusting over or sexualizing children are banned.
Of note, an update to the "Rules for jannies" section will prescribe the American Miller Test be used to judge if a post violates rule 1 (or 0 in regards to CP) or not. This effectively means that lewdness and provocativeness will be measured for if something is banned.
Users may be unhappy with this change, but there are plenty of places on the internet for this kind of content. https://8ch.moe exists, I would suggest you go there.
Of note, this is not an outright ban on soylita or any other child character, the lusting and sexualization posts around those characters however is. If you want to draw fan art of this character that isn't in any way sexual or lewd, then your posts are permissible.
I am trying my hardest with these changes to constrain the actual problem posts and users without stepping into being the coal police on site culture itself.
2. Creating posts that come with any type of signature or avatar is banned. Avatars are non-OC files (and file names) that can be linked back to a singular poster and the poster is using the file as a form of self-identification. Style of writing in posts generally will not be used to decide rather someone is or isn't using a signature or avatar.
This rule will be completely removed from the global rule set and will be moved to being a /soy/ specific rule
