As the title says, we’ve got a lot of reports about this, and we have Rule 7 - Should we take a hardline stance of no OF/SC/links etc? Vote in the comments.
If there is a full ban then I think we relegate ourselves to either just getting reposts from other sites or having a tiny amount of posts. I’d like to see some restriction, but I think a full ban is too much.
Allowing links in comments but not posts sounds about right to me. But I’m open to other proposals.
This is a concern of mine, there are a lot of high-voted posts here that contains these “banned” links that I’d be removing if I listened to every content report. I also don’t want the content quality to drop to the point that we’re primarily re-posting OF advertisements.
Start a transition plan, give a timeline and enforce a cutoff date. Keep it in the profiles. I personally downvote every post I see with s link in it.
Youre asking for a content quality drop with that ban, when what few people who do post here abandon the sinking ship
No - they should be allowed in post description/body
Allow in comments (?)
Yes - We should ban these

For me a definitive yes on banning, as it’s the most interesting aspect of r/gonewild. I really don’t mind people advertising their OF on any other sub (realgirls, etc etc etc), but I do like that gonewild is unique in that respect.
The only concern would be if the content disappears from this community, as it’s still growing.

Would they still be able to ask for private messages?
Well, currently the rule is “no pestering for off-site contact” so yes - DM requests should be ok as long as it’s above-board.
Yeah, ban them. I want people to post because they want to, not because they are advertising. Makes the posts more genuine as well.

I don’t see a problem with it if it’s in your bio because if I’m really interested in the person, then I would at least click their profile to see their other posts.
There will be no incentive, it should be limited but not outright banned
I don’t think it should be allowed in titles, watermarks, comments etc but I don’t see a problem with it being on someone’s profile so long as it’s not in the community. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️ Although, I was banned from reddit gw for having redgifs (which some subs require you to post with) and lemmy linked on my profile. Kind of silly since I asked if it was okay and was told I could continue posting, only for them to change their mind a couple days later.
Yeah that’s what I don’t want to happen here, there have been a LOT of reports lately from a few users mentioning Rule 7 being broken for this sub.
I’ve largely ignored them, because I know we’re been quite lenient about that rule in the past.The rule does say that they shouldn’t be allowed at all, so that’s the reasoning, but I don’t want to suddenly remove a ton of content that is otherwise well-accepted. 👍
There is something to say for you being active here though :) - there are other OF users who don’t engage or comment on Lemmy, which becomes a problem when these “bot users” posts their OF adverts across multiple communities at the same time, and doesn’t do anything else (comment, etc).
Reddit GW banned me as well although and I never ever even considered posting there 😅 never mind having an OF account.
Simply because I had uncovered a catfishing account on a previous post years back by pointing out that they weren’t who they claimed to be and linking the OF account as proof.
Reddit is basically just an OF Advert posting board now, so I guess we should have some controls on it if you don’t want that happening here.
They can put the promo on their profile, I say ban em
Advertising, in my opinion, goes against the spirit of gone wild. I have no problem with OF as a platform, but I’d like to think gone wild is more spontaneous. Just my two cents. If people are that interested, they’ll click into the profile and find plenty an OF link.
Ban them.
a verbal plug for your onlyfans in the post title or description should be alright
If you share quality content here, you should be able to include a link to your OF for those that want more. What I think is not ok is low effort, teaser posts with an OF link. They do not add value to the community. Want to link your OF? Make sure to contribute some OC. No reposts!.
And that is what this all turns into if we allow links in posts.
