Sexy pictures, violent avatars and (ok, far-fetched) stories.

But in all seriousness, there are limits.

This coming from the most sexually minded person in disco (Don't deny it Zapp), this is a Roleplay community, which depicts human and alien life 1000 years in the future, and part of that involves sex and violence, becaus humans like to mate and kill one another. Now, if someone is offended by the stories on the forums or scantily clad, heavily armed anime girls representing our respective characters, they can be so. But we're here to tell stories, about fictional characters, in what is ultimately a game about people killing one another in spaceships.

However, I am in agreement with the current set of rules coverning pr0n and swearing. And even I make a point about never going into graphic detail or linking risque images on the forums or ingame. The rare occasions I do are with mature audiances and done far from the forums or the server. And I agree that should be the case here.

This *is* afterall, a spaceship computer game, not an erotica gallery.

As for Violence, I personally am not into the gory stuff. Action, shootouts, death and destruction are one thing. They make good motivators and plot elements. As for graphic torture, disemboweling and destroying the human body (and Nomads and Gaian Wildlife, poor things), I personally do not like it much. Not that I'm squeamish, but it's just a bit depressing (and cliched at this point).

However, given freelancer is mainly about war and conflict, and we have peopel with as high bodycounts as Mon'star, Salazar, the Phantoms, etc, it is to some degree a necessity. However images with the sort of horrific bloody mess are best gotten rid of. Infact, I'd consider intense and graphic violence a lot worse then sexuality.

At the end of the day, unless we desperately need Disco allowed in China, our current rules regarding "Very Erotic, Very Violent" content are sufficient, As is the general common sense of most of our playerbase.
