It says:
> You may not upload photos that portray pornography, obscenity, or sexually explicit conduct
clearly artistic nudity (a recognized part of the photographic art) does not fall in the caterogies above, yet all the artistic nudity photos that i posted in some tribes have been removed.
that's really sad... very sad...

Re: i cannot believe the tribe now CENSORS artistic nude photos!
Sat, January 21, 2006 - 5:17 AMTribe does not remove these on their own. They allow ANYONE to flag your image for removal. So one person with 5 accounts can come into a gallery & flag one image they don't like 5 times (one time with each account) & your image is removed....
Sounds like the brownshirts to me.... -

Re: i cannot believe the tribe now CENSORS artistic nude photos!
Sat, January 21, 2006 - 6:04 AMthis is pretty ridiculous. the BM forum had many very nice photos with some nudity (but none with pornography, or course, and none was offensive), yet they have all disapeared, including all those that i uploaded.
a good thing the flickr does not (yet) have the same policy - all by BM photos can still be see there through www.playa-dust.com .
yet, i feel (and i'm not the only one) that tribe.net is going down the drain - mostly because they do what they corporate sponsors and advertizer want them to do. un-justified censorship is bad. -

Sat, January 21, 2006 - 8:19 AMStop complaining ! All hail the New Tribe.net Order ! Anything nude may excite the republicans on tribe.net and that may cause breeding, understand human !?

Re: i cannot believe the tribe now CENSORS artistic nude photos!
Sat, January 21, 2006 - 5:10 PMi see... now i understand: tribe.net makes it extremely easy to flag a photo:
each time a photo is posted in a tribe, there is a posting in the tribe discussion - which is not a bad idea - but also, there is a link allowing people to flag the photo without even looking at it!
when a photo is flagged, it would be nice to know who flagged it. i.e. at least censorship should not be anonymous and cowardly!

New place to go
Sat, January 21, 2006 - 4:39 PMThe people that are creating a new home for all of us disgruntled tribe users have made a temporary home at:
omnithoughts.com
Its very basic, but you are free to speak your mind.
AND it is MUCH easier on the eyes.
Foxy!

Courage in the face of authoritarianism will be rewarded
Sat, January 21, 2006 - 8:45 PMWhen I saw the words "The motion U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez vs. Google was a response to Google, who resisted the request as overreaching, burdensome and a violation of trade secrets"... I immediately decided to be loyal to Google. Their courage bought my brand loyalty.
When Tribe gave in to the government's new censorship rules, I started looking for another social networking environment. I'm out there looking for a social network with the guts to stand up for what the Internet is all about.
People ask survivors of concentration camps why they didn't just revolt and overtake the few guards there. Instead, millions gave up their freedom to a few thousand soldiers.
The censorship of artistic nude photos is like giving in to the guards. Resist! -

Re: i cannot believe the tribe now CENSORS artistic nude photos!
Sun, January 27, 2008 - 12:48 AMYeah. Tribe has been a bit of a struggle for me ever since they used the 2257 excuse to bar even things like artistic nude. One thing to note is that Tribe.net is not the only site out there that uses a very broad venacular with the word "obscene" and other monikers that are open. I like to give communities the benefit of the doubt that they use such broadness in order to prevent the site or community's rules from resembling a penal code. However I have also seen this kind of broad, general wording as methods to deem whoever they want as ban-worthy, hiding behind the broadness of the rules set forth.
I agree with tristan that this is a sad state of affairs and has made me seriously reconsider my viewpoint on tribe over and over (amongst the constant downtimes and now this premium service that is trying to be sold to us). Call me someone who just wont listen to authority and what have you, but its kind of hard to follow a rule that seems to be set up out of convenience to image and/or wallet.
