In recent months, with the expansion of the wiki and the increase in RPing groups, each with their own individual styles, there has also been a noticeable increase in erotic and even pornographic content in this wiki's RPs.

Right from the start the Sandbox wiki has deleted several erotic/pornographic RPs made in our forum space as we didn't really wish to attract that kind of attention to the wiki. However, when several users began to make scenes of a sexual nature more graphic in regular RPs, the wiki found itself at a loss as the RPs were not primarily pornographic and therefore there was no real policy area on what to do with it.

Recently it has been discussed among staff members and we came to the conclusion that the pornographic nature of some scenes just can't continue to be as graphic as they currently are.

The problem is that the rules have become inconsistant as RPs like an 'Erotic Slave RP' aren't allowed but regular RPs with blatant pornographic content are. As you can probably tell, this makes enforcing such a rule near impossible and it leaves the staff members with the choice of allowing all forms of pornography or not allowing any at all.

Considering where pornographic content can take a mind or a story and considering what kind of people it can attract to the wiki (I mean, it could eventually lead to things such as scat, underaged pornography, unconsented pornography and strange hentai stuff), it's just safer to come to the conclusion that this wiki was not designed to host pornographic content and that it shoud defintely stay that way.

As a result we're adding new policies that forbid any errotic or pornographic content that is over a PG-13 rating. Any post that breaks this rule will be edited/delted without warning and the poster will recieve a warning. If the poster continues to post, then they may face a ban.

To clarify, you can still have romances in RPs but intercourse can no longer be described, it needs to be timeskipped, like in most video games and movies. Of course, anything such as kissing and grooming will not count as pornographic content.

Thank you for your attention and I hope that this won't affect your creative freedom too much.
