Hey it's yall's server.

<<
2.) We have a number of young people that visit this server. Because
    of this we ask that you keep this in mind before posting messages
    or images of an explicit sexual nature. While nudity is commonly
    used as a form of artistic expression we ask that you present it
    as tastefully as possible if you post images of this type. Use good
    judgment where this is concerned and be aware that children may
    be watching as their parents download images posted on this server.

    You might consider uploading images of a controversial nature to
    your personal web page and provide a link to it from a message
    posted here. This gives people the opportunity to decide if they
    wish to view material of this type at their own discretion.>>


There is however an inherent contradiction within section 2.   If there is
free rein to post links to images of an explicit sexual nature,  this raises
a few problems:

i) the site is not a place for young people by virtue of the links
themselves.

ii) the site is not a place for young people by virtue of the discussion of
the explicit sexual content:  ah, the finish on that <body part> is wrong,
the pose is insufficiently amorous 'cuz of <this or that>.

Would this stuff be happening on a site for Rhino or Moray?
