RE: Should this @steemhunt be classified as NSFW or not ?
But it isn't a 'progressive' position. It is simply non-biased standpoint thus it is neither progressive nor regressive.
Yes, I rather dramatised this but the point is important, that by disallowing (better word than banned?) this product, you demonise it and the use of it as being an act that is 'wrong'.
I do understand the need for your guidelines, but classifying the words 'g-spot' and 'clitoris' as NSFW as your mod did is absolutely ridiculous beyond words and whatever way you dress this up. It is censorship.
I do understand this is not personal, and as I said in the post, I did post it as much out of interest of the reaction as to the benefit of the product.
It's a shame it was delisted.
As a mod I would prefer those products to be allowed but at the same time I am also aware of local regulations in several countries and the cost of delisting them is lower than integrating compliance with those regulations.
As such I think that's a reasonable decision to have the posting guidelines in that topic to be what they are. Sometimes we have to make decisions we would rather not but it does make sense to make them.
PS: it is not censorship. You can not censor on the Steem blockchain. That's a fact. To censor it would require the witness to agree on rolling back the blockchain to the block before your post was made. The hunt was delisted from Steemhunt yet the post is still visible everywhere else. By which I mean on every Steem interface which doesn't limit to showing only posts made through its interface. And on every block explorer.
Yes. I do understand and you are right ..again! ;-) Perhaps it was the mods explanation that slightly rankled but still interesting to hear the views and opinions, and my Christmas present list is almost sorted so not all bad news :-)
You have a great weekend!
