Alert: PLEASE READ: Important site announcement

Yeah, I don't think any of them have actually been bad, but maybe google's video/pic recognition software(or whatever) knows those are straight out of the beginning of a pron video. :spinny: Or, so they seem...

Many of my music videos are from youtube (baby got ....) which is owned by Google. They are doing it to themselves. Shame on them.

And guarantee that Chris might end up struggling to keep the site free? Is that really the best response?

In all honesty, he has to keep it free or he loses most of the people.
His request shouldnt be a big deal, the the provocative pose part is vague and could mean almost anything that is even PG.

It's clear this thread is nothing but a huge Dogpile

Yeah, I'm out, or as Arnold said in Terminator "Alta Vista, baby".

People make too big of a deal out of the requests to keep the site "family-friendly". It IS nice to be able to browse the forums at work without having to worry about someone seeing my screen at the wrong time and it's insanely easy to go see all that **** somewhere else.

I can't remember what site it is, but one of the forums I look at replaces "Google" with "Google sucks" anytime someone writes it

Fanatics -

Since the inception of this site, keeping CF family-friendly has been very important to us for multiple reasons. The first is this is what we believe in. We want you guys to be able to read CF at work and not have to worry if your kids see what site you're on while at home on the family PC.

It's also important when it comes to us staying in compliance with Google and its Ad Sense (ads) policy.

Last night, we received a warning from Google compliance about their ads running on pages with the following:

Google ads may not be placed on pages with adult or mature content. This includes, but is not limited to, pages with images or videos containing:

• Strategically covered nudity
• Sheer or see-through clothing
• Lewd or provocative poses
• Close-ups of breasts, buttocks, or crotches

Obviously over the years we have done our best to moderate the site to these standards but this is a huge forum. We need you to help police yourselves. This is important in the future free model of CycloneFanatic.com.

What I'm asking today is if you remember posting ANYTHING that is iffy in the past that somehow our moderating team has not gotten to, you find it and delete it right away as we only have three days to clean things up. Chances are, this was a one-time deal and no action will be taken but I'm a "better safe than sorry" type of guy.

Thanks for your help, Fanatics.

Doesn't this cover at least 50% of the music videos on youtube? If so Google needs to warn itself!

Does that mean we have to take down all the pics of Dreamy? His flawless face is more provocative than these scantily clad women.

Exactly my thought as well. Merely mentioning his name in some circles will send women into a frenzy. We're in trouble.

Was not that Hoiberg swagbert dance lewd for Google family? Too much hip action?

Does anyone else get the creeps from a billion-dollar company using the word "crotch"?

 

[2020cy]

Does this mean I have to change my avatar?:frown:

Noooooo!

 

[ISUser]

Kind of stealing this from SB Nation, but to play it safe I think we should remove all pictures of Cy without pants from the site.

if I could have laughed out loud, I would have. That is just terribly perfect.

 

[cowgirl836]

This is unacceptable, I'm never using Google again. Starting right after I Google 'replacement for Google'.

Yahoo search?

 

[erikbj]

Yahoo search?

i prefer Ask Jeeves


for those under 25, you will need to google "what is ask jeeves"

How is HN responding to this pictural crisis? Surely they are on the list too.
