If the story is good, things can change and even be hidden
Garbage, no matter how you prepare or season it, is still garbage. Also it seems all we are doing is throwing aphorisms at each other.

NTR is a wide variety of things that can happen. It could be used in organized crime stories. Spy stories, etc etcGarbage, no matter how you prepare or season it, is still garbage. Also it seems all we are doing is throwing aphorisms at each other.
Let's face it; former owner Zoe's attempt to provide a space where we can all post milk-toast erotic content was a failure long before she "left", and now it's just sad. There has been a grand total of two works of erotic fiction posted (one in 2019, and another in 2020), one recruitment thread for an RP that never went anywhere, and a couple of image threads who's combined contents would barely fill half an issue of Playboy (setting aside that most of the images contained therein would have probably been rejected as submissions for simply being too tame). All in all, the only thing people use it for is that one thread where we complain about other forums.
I think we need to have a serious discussion as to what the NSFW subforum is even for; because as it stands, it's just being used as a place where we can hide interforum drama. Personally I think we either need to dramatically loosen restrictions on what content can be posted (basically emulating QQ), or abandon the conceit that the NSFW subforum is primarily for pornographic content altogether, and just say that it's for marginally more offensive content than what is appropriate to post elsewhere on the forum in general. Either may encourage more people to post there, though the latter would also probably require rebranding.
Not paywalled, you just have to request access to it. As you say, not a whole lot happens there though, mostly posting slightly racy memes.There is another forum on here? I am logged in and can't see it. I presume its behind a paywall or something?
Ah, now I see it at the bottom. This thread suggests it isn't very interesting though.
So does storytelling, and all of its mechanics. And I fail to see how story can actually redeem something that bad, it is like polishing a turd. Or putting a beautiful façade on a depilated structure, which as I have heard is what has happened in St. Petersburg.
Pretty much. I can recall a couple times back in college where I wanted to fast forward the smut to get to the story in some stuff.Orson Welles said it best on the Dick Cavett show. You can make a porno with Oscar caliber cinematography but it can't have Oscar caliber writing because it would distract from the smut and the smut would defeat the purpose of such story telling.

It's possible for something X-rated to have both. It's just really rare and the script is usually derived from something that was highly lauded.Orson Welles said it best on the Dick Cavett show.

Because someday the law might change so that eg. any ASoIaF fic that handles the Targeryns, Lannister twins, or uses the book ages for certain young women may have to be moved behind a "the user asserts they are at least 18," checkbox.
Underage is yesPretty sure anything like that is already banned by ToS here, even in the NSFW forum?
Surely that's only graphic descriptions. Is it actually against the forum rules to eg. construct an AH scenario around Mohammed's second wife?Underage is yes
In what way?Surely that's only graphic descriptions. Is it actually against the forum rules to eg. construct an AH scenario around Mohammed's second wife?
Generally yes, the focus for that is on graphic description, though there is also the "creeper" leeway too. You write up a harem fic where all the girls are underage but don't actually post any graphic sex descriptions but its clear they're interested in that and are consistently described in revealing outfits... we'd take that down due to the squick factor.Surely that's only graphic descriptions.
Better than what you'd get over on Spacebattles, but still too restrictive for my liking. Then again, even many pornographic websites have rules against posting anything resembling underaged content; either out of fear of legal trouble, or personal disgust on the part of the staff.Generally speaking so long as you aren't so blatant and descriptive that it slips the line from 'literary' to 'pornography'. I wish I could give a clear bright line, but I'll stick with the obscenity standard, 'I'll know it when I see it'. That being said, neither of the examples you gave would be against our rules. Romeo & Juliet doesn't involve us watching the pair engaged in sex, it just implies it and moves on, likewise the story described wouldn't come near the rules, because we don't make judgements based on implications that happened off screen.
