I recommend a network level ad-blocker. There are many solution for this, I can recommend a few if you'd like. That way you don't need to install on each device, your home network is already running an ad blocker
I wouldn't have recommended getting involved in that conversation with your main account; as you've probably noticed, they're very sensitive and get passive-aggressive at the slightest criticism.
That said, there's no way to refer to the site without putting your account at risk. The safest way I can think of so far is to send a simple JPG to the PMs of the unhappy users, like the one in blue text in my signature.
As I've said before, yes, it's inevitable for several reasons, and that thread made me wonder what Jack is doing about the hosting issues. If the site's growth means it has to shut down, then I'd rather it stay as it is.
That's actually something I've had in mind for a long time, to make a game that literally has a message like the LonaRPG intro but with F95 and LC, or where you have to reach a certain point to see the reference so it goes under the rug without getting banned.
That thread made me realize something I didn't want to believe, that, to them, pixels are equivalent to CSAM. They're the kind of people who can't tell reality from fiction, which is why they accuse LC of containing CSAM. It's sad and regrettable that F95 is being run by people like that, it really doesn't deserve the traffic it gets.
I also noticed some inconsistencies and incoherencies that I could point out, and I haven’t even read half the thread yet. It’s hard for me to do so because reading such arrogant people is unnerving, and it makes me want to pay them a visit to see if they can really maintain the same attitude when faced with the element lead on the periodic table (this is not a death threat or anything like that) or if they’re just keyboard warriors, but if I were to point out every ridiculous thing said there, I’d be writing for half the day, and I don’t think it’s worth it either, considering we all already know who they are and how they act.
If you're thinking, “That's going too far,” I'm sorry, but I'm a passionate person and I can be harsh toward those who think they're better than others.
Nah the site here is going to switzerland, because of the age verificagtion is coming (in order to avoid age verification on this site in the future)...nothing is changed, the censorship on this site is also in the future verv very low...

Me too, but the energy and time it takes me to debate in english is just not worth it, knowing it's not going to change anything, except bring more bad faith into the pot.
Creating and promoting positive stuff will always be more profitable to everyone and lighten up contradictions much more. Not saying you should never get your hands dirty, but if you have to spend too much time cleaning them and not have time for headpats anymore, it would be sad : .
I don't like toddlercon, but isn't the point of this site that "Fiction is NOT reality"? And even if it weren't, I will never agree with censorship under any circumstances, much less if it is moral. I will defend both what I like and what I don't because those on the other side have the same right as me to consume any type of fiction that does not harm anyone. I don't like GTA, but I'll defend your right to steal and kill 3D models for as long as you want.
Spanish speaker here. I have a reasonable command of English, but I still rely on Google Translate and DeepL at all times because I tend to confuse terms. Writing here isn't a challenge for me, and in fact, I take the advantage of it to brush up on my English in the meantime; on the other hand, having a sensible discussion on F95 is a whole other story.

Don't worry about it. I also don't like getting my hands dirty, and a fleeting violent feeling won't make me leave my house to look for some random person on the internet. It's just a way of saying that I can't stand arrogant people; they bring out the worst in me.
They sure have a lot of those "if you don't like it, leave" sorts. Anyone with that attitude should NEVER be allowed to be a mod or admin anywhere. Unless like N Korea or the Taliban have a website.

I'm glad theres a thread like this where there is always something being talked about and people just being nice, makes needing to post alot less threatening

As long as it feeds creativity about how doing things right ^^ but too much bitching is a dangerous slope
Its been so long since I've been actually active, active.
How are things?
I wish my splatoon and vermin/rodent threads had more people posting.
Question, is there a proper thread to promote a adult fic here? I have my own thread where I ment to act as a acrhive/diary of the progress but I kinda just forgot. But I am trying to change that.
Anyway, I hope every one's day is going good. Its 2:48 am....I should have been asleep hours ago. I probably will be asleep soon.
Alright I am hitting post before I get to worried about asking the question.

New here, but just wanted to give my 2 cents based on what I've read so far
In my countries criminal legal code there is a very specific exception to the CSAM law that allows viewing and creating sexual images of minors if they are "...drawn, painted or in any other similar artistic way produced." Now that's pretty shut and dry, but I know that morally it's still quite questionable to some and I'm sure some countries are more strict. But if you are here and reading this you probably agree that making illegal a drawn image of something because the real act is heinous and illegal is kind of dumb. Might as well ban all books that feature those acts. People are weird, sometimes we imagine and are aroused by weird taboo shit, and that's ok.
Now obviously the f95zone team doesn't share the views of whoever wrote that law. I do not know if that's because they have to adhere to stricter laws, or they/their server providers morally object to such content because of its perceived adjacency/catering to (imo) some of the most despicable people to walk this earth: people who watch, share and create CSAM. Anyway, as big as the site is nowadays I do sorta understand where their moderation team is coming from, but they are also clearly airing on the safe side to the point where I (and I guess a lot of you), got a bit frustrated and curious what is behind the censorship-wall.
Whatever the case, the arguments I've read so far from them ring a bit hollow, but I've never had to manage a forum of that size so idk.

I mean they'd have to ban all games like GTA and similar in that case. Also anything involving robbery. Or hacking. Basically you'd be left with sports games and ones for kids.
