Is [modedited link] a forbidden website to post/link pictures from?

I am not a mod, but I think it may be deemed obscene, or at least not within the generally accepted PG/PG-13 zone for this game. I would not risk the "wrath of mod" and use it. I try to stay out of their hair; I consider myself lucky that I have not been reported as a troll or as flaming by anyone.

Well, the fact that I just decided to remove the link from your post might be taken as a gentle hint ...

Some of those were funny and repeatable, but collectively (as on the home page) it's a no-no.

For general info: we don't have all that many straight-out forbidden websites. BUT players are expected to exercise discretion, remembering the PG-13 limitation of the site.

Generally, be guided by this:

: Forbidden links: There is not, and will not ever, be a definitive list of forbidden links. Since we don't control the content of other websites, a link which was fine yesterday may be forbidden today. Each link is judged on a case by case basis, and occasionally the Mods will outlaw certain sites.

Any outlawed site is forbidden in the forums, as a signature, as a motto, as a World Factbook entry, or in any other format.
General classes of forbidden links include porn or other sexual imagery, warez (see below), sites promoting other illegal activities, referral links (see below), or sites that have links to such sites as a principal component.
Some generally unacceptable popular sites include ebaumsworld, albinoblacksheep, plasticnipple, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and Fred Phelps' godhates<group> hate-mongering sites.
Don't link to sites where you (or a friend/relative) stand to gain financially. Feel free to contact Jolt for information on paid advertising

Plus the obvious thought that if you're so doubtful you have to ask, it's probably not a good idea.

EDIT: I realise I haven't actually answered what you asked. If you can find a PG-13 pic on that site, and if you can post that one pic, and no other, without infringing copyright, and if you can do so without directing other players to where it came from, then you might get away with posting it -- at least, if you're clobbered, it won't be because it was a forbidden source. It will be for lack of discretion.

Can't get much clearer than that, can I?

Can't get much clearer than that, can I?Nope. Thanks for taking the time to answer it. :)
