Topic: Relaxing some DNP content

Posted under General

I'm not sure how common this is, but I like cartoon furry stuff, but also real stuff. And this site has the best tagging around, like it's unbelievable, and for me, its such a shame that a whole lot of stuff is just banned such as:
*Real Porn
*Non-furry content in general (obvs exceptions but still)

I understand that this is because most people on this site do not want this content, but perhaps this content could be 'tagged' and then made not visible on e621 but only on another site, like how there is e926.

I'm not sure how many people on this site give a crap about real porn, but searching for real stuff, is the worst thing in the world since the only meta data is some shitty title like "blah does blah blah with blah" and most of the title data is disenginous and not accurate. Also no aliasing ect...

So I was thinking why not allow a lot of content that is currently on the DNP (Nothing illegal obvs), but making it 'seperate' like it has to be enabled. So that people could tag/upload/watch real stuff, real stuff that is photoshopped, cartoon stuff that is not furry at all ect...

I doubt this will happen just curious on thoughts

Ummmm.... Do I really need to explain this?

Absolutely not. Allowing IRL(real) porn to be hosted as a sister site(such as e926) will open up a whole plethora of problems and posibble legal issues for the owner hosting said site.

We are lucky enough to have a dedicated team of staff and fanbase to be constantly contributing new content and diligently tagging them. Even if you have a seperate site, I'm not sure about the amount of people who are willing to find, tag and approve the possible millions of IRL porn available out there.

yeah no. that would create horrible amounts of unnecessary extra work and problems.

You could create your own site that's a fork of e621. Like how Gelbooru is a fork of Danbooru.

Some good points have been raised, again I'd reiterate, I don't expect this too work, even in theory, but it really seems odd to me that something like what I've said doesn't exist.

To get around all the legal specific to 'real' stuff, the content could simply contain links to the source website, and not have the video hosted on e621's servers or even embedded. And by restricting sources to legit sites, it would "Take the burden off e621". Additionally when we're talking about real stuff, it's usually going to be a video or a set of photos or exceed 100MB, so not very inconvenient to view.

Even if people were to upload content that they liked, and only put a dozen or so tags when they uploaded it, of extremely basic crude tags. It would be leagues ahead of anything I've ever seen, and people would be encouraged to find a tag they like, and then tag works that have it, simply so that they can search by it later (Like alot of people do on e621)

The goal isn't to make an all encompassing tag database, it would have the tiniest fraction of what's out there, and it does have may miss many tags, but even that is a lot, and if someone thinks it's missing something they'll just have to add it.

And whilst this does seem entirely seperate from e621 (which it is in many ways), I think there are enough people who do both, and would like it even if just to have them in the same place, and then there is the tagging, 90% of tags relating to e621 would relate to this, and then there are cosplays, with associated character tags.

Also aren't the current limits of what is DSP somewhat arbitrary, all that would really need to be implemented is a checkbox that says "Is this standard content" (Or something more descriptive) , and if you want to see that stuff, you just tick a checkbox or modify your search query to include it (Which could filter out by default)

Whilst the 'non standard content' part of the site, would be underdeveloped and lacking, I really can't think of anything that would compete. We have so many boorus with so much overlap, and yet not one for this stuff.

I suppose most of this hinges upon how many e621 users would be remoetly interested in this, which I have no idea.

If you really want real porn, can't you just look that shit up on tumblr or some other website? I mean it's not hard to find stuff that you want specifically.

What matters is not if users are interested in not_furry stuff, it's if the taggers are interested. They're the ones who make the system work. Personally I will not spend time tagging irrelevant stuff. It is because e6 has a niche that it is such a thing of beauty. If someone wants to take the tagging idea and run with it that's fine. Make another site. But don't expect the same kind of success.

Nah. There are literally hundreds of sites for RL porn. Whilst, I can only name like 10 furry sites that are decent or safe to visit.
