Adult-talk channel on Discord
So discord now has a new feature to mark channels as NSFW, which requires users to click an "I'm 18 or older" button to enter. (It also has some auto-censoring features, but I wouldn't activate those).
This is kind of convenient because sometimes talk in #general_discussion scratches the edge of adult talk. To be able to have this kind of talk without having to watch out for youth protection, creation of an adult channel was proposed.
I propose the following:
- We create a channel #adult_talk which is meant for exactly that.
- It will not be meant for porn.
- The "I'm 18 or older" button is a legal gray area. To make sure everybody in the channel is old enough, we would have to check everybody's wikidot profile, public information and ask other branch members.
- We then could either make a "not-18" user role for people found not to be 18 that is not allowed in the adult channel.
- We also could make a "18-or-older" user role for people allowed there, though this would take more effort. (People who enter the NSFW channel without being in that role could be set to be unable to read messages)
- Wether images/links are to be allowed was a matter of heated discussion in the staff chat.
- We could forbid all nudity.
- We could allow nudity but forbid nude selfies (also to preserve personality rights of people involved).
- To ease enforcement of this we could disable uploads and only allow links.
- We also could reverse search suspicious images: No result = ban for time X.
- We could allow nudity without genitalia (would not count as illegal for underaged at least in DE)
- Or something not yet mentioned.
As this is a delicate topic I suggest deciding both, the creation of such channel itself, and the image/links topic separately.
Also as this is a topic regarding legality, Grym who is the chat owner can overrule all voices in this decision.
