Pornography should be allowed on DDO

I hope my final round answers the last questions about stance. I apologize for being slow in response and a generally lacking last round, due to time limits and Christmas time. I will just skim through the last round, and sum up my responses. Now DDO will not have unlimited access to pornography, it would be limited to clearly marked links, that can only be seen by active adult members, and would most likely be limited to adding to a conversation in a productive way. An example of how 'pornography' could be used productively. [1] There is not embedded images on DDO. My stance has always been about links. In round two I even specified "The system I am arguing for allows clearly marked links, not picture albums and profile pictures of pornography. I also would not support embedding pornography on the threads. " Arguing against me clarifying that in round two should not be handled in round four. Because DDO is so unknown, and because when checking out a site, parents and educators rarely make an account, I do not believe what they would see wold pose a threat to the community. If you intend to kill someone it does not make them any more dead then if you did not intentionally kill them. "Even though one can easily look for links on Google that show illegal material, cause viruses defame, threaten, and harm others, she does not advocate having these links on DDO, showing her logic is inconsistence. " I would like to point out the issue is whether it is against the ToS or not. Pornography being allowed =/= illegal material, virus causing material , defaming material, threatening material, or harmful material being allowed. I would also like to point out that being able to access pornographic links would not cause trolling in most cases, especially since if the website is blocked its blocked. If its not blocked, they can just go there anyway. Again it is very unlikely that members would come here just for porn, because again it would only be links, and if they an be accessed they can be accessed without DDO, so it is unlikely anyone would come here just for the porn. "Lovelife does not think this will happen since this is a debate site. The mere fact that the forums features has become more popular than the debating features demonstrates this. This is why the "this is a debate site" will not be sufficient to improve DDO's reputation. It's like defending MTV's show "Jersey Shore" by claiming MTV it is a "music station" and will not degrade to "showing crappy reality TV shows". At least mafia games are seen as harmless fun. Pornography is more controversial. " And this brings me to another point, my point that many debates occur in the forums was completely ignored. [2] is an example of productive conversation from nothing basically. Just a few comments made in a mafia thread. [3] [4] are examples of debatse in the forums. The forums=/=unproductive, the forums have many debates that occur. Many members do not like formal debates, and the reasons are numerous, time limits, for example, almost had me forfeiting this round. Other reasons include, character limits, vote-bombing, limited rounds, and maybe just a general dislike of the format. The user known as jharry [5] for example does not like formal debates such as this. Perhaps youtube does ban porn, however not all respected websites have a rule against it. Skype for example, not a website but it is a program that is highly respected, among youth and elderly, parents and children, friends and lovers, allows for members to do and post anything so long as it is not illegal and doesn't go against the room mod's wishes. That would allow not only porn sites, but for video chatting in a pornographic way, even with that it is still highly respected, as is yahoo which generally does not care so long as there is no child porn (illegal content). [6] [7] Notice how no where in the rules did it say pornography, or adult content was disallowed. The closest being in the yahoo ToS "Please be aware that Yahoo! has created certain areas on the Yahoo! Services that contain adult or mature content. You must be at least 18 years of age to access and view such areas. " Which is pretty close to what I am arguing for. I apologize I had much more to add but it is time to eat now and I cannot come back in time to finish writing my round.
