SoulCast's tags:
SoulCast reads (2):
All posts containing adult content or sex related content must be tagged with 'sex', 'adult', or 'erotica' or they will be deleted. This should not effect the vast majority of you, as most users already effectively tag their posts. This course is unfortunately necessary because Google's terms of service do not allow us to show their ads on pages with pornographic or sexually explicit content. In the near future, Soulcast will no longer show the ads on posts tagged with 'sex', 'adult', 'erotica', or other related tags.

    No problem Soulcast!  I owe my readers a part 2 to an erotica post I've written and will be sure to tag it CORRECTLY!   I should have posted this awhile ago, but didn't due to lack of reads on the first part, so I said, 'screw it!" (pun intended)

    Anyway, isn't that just so prim and proper of Google?  I mean really it is so wrong to place ads on these type of posts, but not so wrong to 'screw' Soulcast members out of funds! haha!?

    this makes sense, although i urge you to consider standardizing on a single tag for simplicity.

    Hi Daily!

    I'm not bad, NOW!  How are you doing?

    I'm glad you find me so humorous! :)

    Scewed ONCE?  What the hell have you been doing with the rest of your life?  LOL   I couldn't even begin to tell you how to write about that, but knowing you, you will find a comical way of telling the story.

    No, Ad(little)Sense does NOT matter at all! :)

    Does this go for comments as well?
  • paidinblood said on Dec 28, 2006....
    i most probably post erotica in comments. lol

    but seriously if you're hell bent on doing that then why not?
  • Jenna said on Dec 28, 2006....
    I think I know what prompted this.....or at least why it came about... I am not into the adsense at all...I do want to say thanks to soulcast if you are doing this why I think you are doing this.
  • paidinblood said on Dec 28, 2006....
    whoops i meant most probably not. lol

    Good to know. I will soon a write a blog so sexually explicit that you'd have to wear a condom while reading it.

    hypothicize with the rest of us..perhaps..child activities would
    be my guess..cant say much about prorn..cause porn is
    the burden of the community on which it is imposed..EXCEPT
    child stuff..which is universal...but..then..what do I know...
  • dailyachesandpains said on Dec 28, 2006....
    That was my guess, cops! 
  • Lioness said on Dec 28, 2006....
    Noted! 
  • ALIENated said on Dec 28, 2006....
    Can you define adult content or sex related content. And could you define what the word is means. You know, what is is. I guess if we are wondering then it should be tagged. So we should probably just tag everything with sex.
  • CreativeWoman said on Dec 28, 2006....
    Does this mean we are now censored?
  • kelly said on Dec 28, 2006....
    CreativeWoman, I was wondering if someone would bring that up. No, it's not censorship. You are still free to write whatever you like. This is simply categorization. Posts will still be readable. I mean, they'll still be available for people to read. Being readable goes on a case by case basis. :-)
  • silverwhisper said on Dec 29, 2006....
    kelly's right, this isn't censorship: it's an obligation that everyone who uses adsense already agreed to. if you joined adsense, you read the terms of service and they very clearly asked that their ads do not appear where sex-related content also appears.

  • xerendipity said on Dec 29, 2006....

    Ok, fine with me! It's just a tag away anyway!

     

  • paidinblood said on Dec 29, 2006....
    It's just a case of using common sense, really.  You don't put adult content and tag it as "happy thoughts"; even if there may be happy thoughts in it.
  • aguynflorida said on Dec 29, 2006....
    hey everyone...new here..who else is on line now?
  • GumpyJumptooth said on Dec 29, 2006....
    Great move.

    I assume this would also include the sexually explict remarks contained in people's long personal anecdotes?

    Can you say "copsunited"?  LOTS of pornographic content there.
  • Zayda said on Dec 29, 2006....
    So, what's to prevent people who comment from tagging a post with "sex" or "adult" even if the post has no sexual contet.  I realize we can click the x's beside tags as bag tags, but doesn't it take so many of those clicks by X number of users to remove a bad tag?
  • Alyss said on Dec 30, 2006....
    I understand why and will try to remember and apply the rule but how does this apply to comments made against each post?

    And as Z has said what's to stop the misapplication of the tags? TBH it really doesn't affect me as I'm not signed up for adsense but I can see that if abused it might be a pain for others.
  • CreativeWoman said on Jan 01, 2007....
    I always have tagged my sexual writings as such.  When I asked about censorship, I was wondering if SoulCast was indirectly asking for those types of posts to cease.  I guess I was reading between the lines.  My apologies.

  • copsunited said on Jan 01, 2007....
    Dummy No Tooth: Your are dangerously close here so write  very carefully now.
     
    Pornographic: Obscene literature. Little of no artistic value. Writings about
    harlots.
     
    None of the above are applicable here since the readership is hungry to read and agree with the deffinitions. You are the only odd person out here.
    If and IF you disagree I am going to ask you how you know it to be Pornographic if you have not read it. How do you make the comparisons?
     
    Now when i tell you to be careful here, I really mean that because the Supreme Court has held that Pornographic standards are set by the
    community in which it occurs and has previously SET the standard. Should
    my artistic talents do not violate any standard so far set here then you are
    making a groundless accusation for which you may be held accountable.
     
    I hope I have made myself abundantly clear here. You can take all the time
    you need or desire to digest, chew on, diagram, break down to the lowest intelligible syllable you understand or comprehend but you will find that if you continue on that/this path you are biting off MUCH more than your pea brain can handle. Do you understand? Have someone explain it to you. You have now made it a public issue and cannot now erase said blurb. You are
    perhaps operating with a dimminished capacity?

    Dear Soul Cast,
     
  • anonymous said on Jan 01, 2007....
    I hate to point this out but...

    SoulCast is not a "free speech entity."  Like any other endeavor, commercial or otherwise, they have the right to regulate speech in order to foster greater monetary income or participation in general.  Just like AOL or anybody else.

    I think, but I'm not sure, that the actual verbiage is "without redeeming social importance and appealing to purient interests."  But I could majorly be wrong there.

    If you are publishing a newspaper, yes, as long as you are not participating in crimes and then reporting them, you have all the free speech you want.  Or if you are disemminating a TV show on the internet.

    Much like a TV station has the right to censor speech to conform with the FCC guidelines, and to insure sponsorship, free speech is only allowed in certain instances.

    So, while there are many instances when the Supreme Court's rulings on obscenity and pornography would apply--SoulCast is totally within its rights to deem anything inappropriate. 

    Much like a Christian Coalition site can prohibit Satanic worship recruitment on their site. 

    What we're getting here is free and since we are not paying for a service they have failed to provide, they are on good ground.  And, rest assured, if we were paying, there would be language which gives them the right to edit and censor content totally at their discretion.

    Now, if this were a governmentally-funded blog site, that'd be a whole 'nuther can of worms!
  • copsunited said on Jan 01, 2007....
    Crummy Suck Tooth..you do not need to hide behind Anonymous..we all know who your sad ass is..come right on out and share your glory..
     
    Free speech is something you can't stand..so get over yourself ..you pious little piece of horse shit...
     
    you have made an ass of yourself for over a month. Take the rag off and
    come on out.
     
    Don't fog the issues..I have asked you time and time again for specific answers and all you do is blow smoke..so in stead of blowing smoke..
    BLOW ME  Get it...???
     
    You asshole..get off the anon kick..this is a free blog..catch up here..the world is leaving you behind..on second thought..stay where you are..fuck head.
     
    Your toothless smile appeals to my pruient interests..as you know already.
  • SoulCast said on Jan 01, 2007....
    @cw

    We aren't asking for them to cease. We just need to make sure ads do not appear on sexually explicit posts or we get in trouble with google.
