Just to clarify, as per IF's COC, posting explicit/po*nographic content is strictly not allowed on the forum.
Posting messages that display or link to po*nographic or sexually offensive material. Posting sexually suggestive materials or graphic intimate details of sexual nature whether in story form or while discussing an episode will not be allowed. Debates on subjects which are sensitive and adult will be closely monitored for content. Any topic containing videos, pictures, articles or individual postings by members on Nudity, discussions or postings related to any kind of nudity or po*n, and not deemed fit for an universal audience will be closed and trashed and warnings given. It also applies to published articles. Whether any such topic is appropriate in a section will be decided by the Dev Team and the decision of the Dev Team on any such kind of topic shall be final.
IMPORTANT: India-Forums Code of Conduct
This includes posting sexually explicit FFs and OSs with a writting warning for 18+ years. At this time there is no way to enforce the 18+ years rule and while we would all like to believe that members are sensible and restrained enough to make the right decision, it is also unfair to assume that they always will. At the end of the day the responsibility falls on US instead of on THEM to do what is right. WE need to make sure that WE don't make explicit content available on the forum so that no one would have to be tempted otherwise.
Also, just as an additional reminder, the site admins absolutely do not tolerate po*nographic/explicit content on the IF website. Therefore if anyone in the forum (or on the site) comes across any content that they feel is sexually explicit (pictures or written content), PLEASE make use of the Report button and bring it to our attention. We can't be everywhere all at once and so sometimes we miss explicit posts - especially when they are FF chapters buried with in 30-40 pages of comments. 😳 At that point we ask that members bring such content to our attention so that we can have it removed appropriately.
Once again, explicit content is absolutely NOT allowed on IF - with or without the "above 18 only" warning. At this point there is no way to enforce the "above 18" warning and therefore it serves no purpose.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I hope this clarifies the confusion.

BALH Dev. Team
