It's time to vote for the Ponyville Administrative Consistency and Transparency Act
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSed_roMl3WnLxtrr4la803lMe52rz8WXRd0BDUSs8qy4ejxsg/viewform?usp=sf_linkhttps://tinyurl.com/y8cgzqrxWe'll leave this up for a week. At the end of the week, we shall count the votes, and implement the proposals that have received majority approval.
If you are looking for more regulations, or changes, don't worry: as you can see, rules aren't set in stone. The rules will still be tuned, as time goes on, if the rules require tuning.
Thank you all for voting!

I made a Sweetie Belle thread on Canterlot.

>>2679>>834728fuck, you deleted my posts and their replies :-(
No.2681
>>2680Technically I deleted it, on request. OP basically has the right to delete a thread but LeAnon cycles through ip and cookies I guess, so things like delete and edit functions probably don't work for him.
There's arguments to be made that an op shouldn't be able to wipe a thread entirely from the board, but that's how it works for now, so that's how I handled it.

Why is Rule 11 "Don't post illegal content" even up for a vote? It's not like you'd let users post illegal shit even if a majority doesn't like the rule.

>>2688To me it seems like a silly rule.
I think I'm breaking it right now by posting something that is illegal in the United States?
No.2690
>>2688>>2689Oh, right. It says content.
Guess I agree then.
But what content is illegal?

>>2690>But what content is illegal?Well, the big one is CP, but that's already covered by two other rules (the "no porn" rule and the "no sexualizing children" rule). So-called """obscene""" porn (under
Miller) is also theoretically illegal, but again already covered by the "no porn" rule.
Hmm, so maybe Rule 11 doesn't actually ban anything that isn't already banned by other rules. Maybe it's just a CYA for the site. Anyone posting illegal shit already knows they're liable to be b& and v& regardless of site rules.

>>2689Actually, owning a Kinder Egg in the US is not illegal. Selling them as a food product is simply because of a FDA regulation that states no inedible substance shall be fully encased within an edible substance and sold as a food product.
This is probably the main reason that Fortune Cookies are not sealed but instead simply folded.

"The FDA’s rule was challenged by Nestle, a Swiss company, in 1997 when it introduced Nestle Magic Balls. The balls consisted of a toy inside a plastic shell inside a chocolate shell, the same as Kinder Eggs. This did not sit well with the FDA, which declared that selling Nestle Magic Balls violated the 1938 act. Nestle then tried to lobby the U.S. government with no success. Within two months of first being sold, the candy was pulled from the stores. A couple of years later, Nestle rolled out a tweaked version of the balls called Nestle Wonder Balls. Except this time, the chocolate shells were filled with candy, making it legal." No.2699

>>2700Those are actually Kinder Surprise style candy, which are different from Kinder Eggs. Kinder
Eggs are still banned in the US, however there is an offshoot called Kinder
Surprise where half the egg is chocolate and the other half is a plastic shell with a toy inside. Since the chocolate doesn't fully cover the toy they are perfectly legal in the US.

>>2444I voted.
Yes to banning obscenity while risque is ok,
No to ALL victim-punishing (goaded users)
No to ALL rules distinguishing "fetishistic" or "sexual fixation" from mainstream views on obscenity as same are ALL egregious violations of equality
NO emphatically! On ALL statutory mandatory sentencing
Yes on no sexualizing minors as it is clearly the true motivating vehemence behind this proposed rules reformation.
Yes on rules board and hoofbook.
I hope any who still have not voted, defining an "undecided" class, will consider following my voting guidelines.
Remember you may vote the issues you care about and abstain on those you do not.
a lost pony loves you all (so run!)
No.2708
>>2706>No to ALL rules distinguishing "fetishistic" or "sexual fixation" from mainstream views on obscenity as same are ALL egregious violations of equalityOh for crying out loud, not this again. The adult content rules could have been stated more concisely (but also more vaguely) as "don't post adult content that would disturb/offend/annoy a typical person viewing it". The fetish rule is just a elaboration that fetishistic content disturbs/offends/annoys people more than vanilla. And yes, it's an artifact of our culture (e.g., if this was a Middle Eastern website, bare ankles might fall under the adult content rules), but that's just way that human beings work.
(And just to dispel some false assumptions that might be made from what I said above, let me say that I voted no for all but the two most lenient of the fetish rules.)
No.2709
>>2708In which case the additional wording to treat fetishistic content differently is at best redundant so needless and prejudicial.
It's not this "again" i'm expressing my view on it and only telling me that my opinion is wrong makes it "this again" so, have fun with that.
>>2707In which case a separate codification only confuses the intent/enforceability of the rule
