Inappropriate Content Violation

Hello All,

I just wanted to post this as we have decided to make a new Inappropriate Content Violation. Given the recent AdSense violations the site has received, and that lucid is in the process of appealing this violation as well as possibly looking into alternative sources of ad revenue, we need to clean up the site as a whole and strictly enforce their guidelines.

This rule has been rolled out to serve an immediate need as we make through this transition. Mods have been instructed to be lenient in the coming days and weeks as this new rule gains awareness and as the paradigm shift begins. That being said, any community and moderator input on the language of this rule would be greatly appreciated.

We'll be giving out mostly verbal warnings, notes for now (especially to those who are unaware, of course), but moving forward we will start enforcing the violations more strictly.

I'd like to give shout outs to gistofeverything for the language of the ruling, and Giga for drafting up the disciplinary scheme.

  • Posting content to any part of the site that could be considered derogatory, vulgar, or slanderous anywhere on the site, including but not limited to the forums, comments and games. This includes, but is not limited to: swearing, off-site links, and inappropriate images. Inappropriate content that is found on the site will be deleted with or without prior notice. Please review this topic for more information about what is considered inappropriate: https://epicmafia.com/topic/61808

Can we get rid of this now since there's no ads in the forums or user pages anymore? Christ.

Hey I got an update from Lucid. We still have a possibility of getting our ad revenue back from Google. Let's please try and keep the site as clean as possible.

riddler, we only have one more day until we know if we get AdSense back or not. can't you just hold off until then and they'll restructure the rules accordingly after


They've made it clear that they're not going to restructure the rules.

And in the event we get adsense back, because of their inability to interpret the rules and understand that Google focuses on excessive, adult, and context, we're going to remain in this police state regardless.

It's not challenging. It's having a conversation. It's talking logically and realistically.

If I knew you were going to be such a [redacted] I'd never have supported you. Blindly following orders is bad, particularly with someone as reactant as lucid. He's scared of losing the site, I get that. He's over-reacting and someone needs to make him realize that.

YOU'RE the one in the position to do that, along with Nikki. You're not trying. You're letting this happen.

"I'm in a position with a line of communication and have the ability to try to talk about it logically, but instead I'm going to just tuck my tail between my legs and just go with it."

Lucid needs someone to talk to him realistically. No one in the position to do that is even trying. That's what's most infuriating about all of this. You're not even trying. You're simply allowing this to happen.


I'm not going to challenge him here because the site is facing possibly going down as a result of this. If this is what we need to do to keep the site at all, it's worth it. Sorry Riddler.

time to rename site to "better safe than sorry" tbh since that's the new policy.
