Unwritten (implied) rules still apply, as they are common sense

I think "common sense" isn't the same across the board.

It would be nice to see some more specific guidelines, as I can't seem to find any.
Wasn't there a few rules put in place after there was a wave of p101ers posting things that were really borderline CP?

If they are written, and I"m just stupid, link?

The rule about shirtless/revealing photos is here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=54398). We should probably add that to the main rules at some point.

Sorry about the confusion in the photo album earlier, if that's what sparked this; it's been taken care of.

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I've never fully heard what (if) there was a final decision about pictures containing underage drinking and/or drug use was. Is that still allowed or is it finally prohibited?

That, and some of the pics that just seem like they're trying to look down someone's shirt (i haven't seen as many as there have been though)

thnks. I was sure there was a rule about that at some point... Just no one really reads old announcements, as most of them are time-dependant (survery, downtime, staff retirement (once they're gone, a few months no one who didn't know them cares), new features, ect)

I don't know, it's one of those discussions that never seems to end.

That announcement definitely should be morphed into the rules and will be done soon.

Alex summed it up perfectly here http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showpost.php?p=566718&postcount=17 and that is the model we are going to follow.

Oh dear, I feel bad about this, I had no intention of stirring up anything. However, now that the question has been asked it does seem to me that there is a difference between what is tolerated in the VT Photo Album thread and what is tolerated in profile albums. This seems illogical to me and its not surprising if newcomers get confused as a result.

We don't always see everything in the profile albums that's why you can report them.

No, actually nick, this has been bugging me for awhile.

No, there shouldn't be.

Well its a new rule and a bit sketchy one. We'll work on being more consistent and hopefully we can find middle ground.
