I noticed tonight that either I can't find them or we don't have any guidelines for our fourm. So looking for standards on this, I went over to the Australian Government Classification Website and found the following summary;
Any material that would fall under (a) needs to be placed with care. It should not be direct posted, but provided as a link with a stern content warning. An example of this is the link I put in the non related bike thread to the Newtown Yoga article depicting nude yoga.Under the Code, classification decisions are to give effect, as far as possible, to the following
principles:
(a) adults should be able to read, hear and see what they want;
(b) minors should be protected from material likely to harm or disturb them;
(c) everyone should be protected from exposure to unsolicited material that they find
offensive;
(d) the need to take account of community concerns about:
(i) depictions that condone or incite violence, particularly sexual violence; and
(ii) the portrayal of persons in a demeaning manner.
(b), (c), (d-i) and (d-ii) should be avoided. When posting think about whether your post could be interpreted differently to what you mean.
When someone makes a post that you feel contravenes the above, first PM the poster expressing the concerns as to how the post may be interpreted. This will allow the poster to correct their error without public embarrassment, aka a win win situation.
If you do not get a response from the PM, or the material needs immediate attention, then bring it to the attention of the moderators to deal with.
