squee (Jun 10, 2005)
The little stunt with the Nazi symbol got me thinking. We need some kind of filter that filters out sexism, discrimination, racist, or any kind of that bullshit. Or at least more mods to keep it clean on the site.

Stunts like that nazi one infuriates many of the fellow 2drawers, and I'm just keeping an eye out for some of their emotions. You don't want many people ranting, pissed off, and flaming up the ass do you?

Well, it's just a suggestion.. if it's not a good one just iggy it.

I'm just saying we do have a part of the site that is mainly young children. Don't you think those catagories are bad influences on them?

sincity (edited Jun 10, 2005)
That is why we have display settings. So you can manage who should see the work. Yet, you can view these picks when they tell you to " Click here" This is a goof, because all ages can click on this and view 18+ art. I know Marcello meant this in good faith, Knowing that people should view these works maturely and in a artist way, but not everyone views it that way and starts screaming for heads to roll. HuH Huh...I said Head.. Huh huh. :}

squee (Jun 10, 2005)
hmm... I guess you're right. But, I still think we need more mods to keep 2draw flowing better.
 
Shanghai (edited Jun 10, 2005)
I don't really see what the 5th amendment has to do with it this, and freedom of speech (which we ALL know is the 1st one *edits first comment* <_<) doesn't apply here either because, to my knowledge, it's a privately owned site. Just like you can't walk into a restaurant and start soliciting or preaching or whatever, if they don't want you to.
  icon
Ceido (edited Jun 10, 2005)
There's not really any way you can stop kids from viewing 18+ pictures on here without everyone sending they're birth certificates to Marcello. lol
I'm sure the Mods do their best.

Hitler was a nice artist! http://hitler.org/art/nudes/
I look at all the nude girls he drew and get aroused. >;)
He should have made a career as an artist instead of a racist genocidal country leader. But I guess that in this world it is mostly the second kind of people that become succesful.

Whatever then. Xod, I learned about the Holocaust at the end of the school year, yes, I know Hitler was an artist, but he was also a heartless murderer. That was just my suggestion..Plus I added that if you didn't want to see the suggestion just to ignore it.. OH well.. can't win for losing..

This is the first site I've seen that lets you choose what setting you could place it on.. eh.. whatever...

What's the point of cussing people out in a language they don't understand? >_o
they just wouldn't understand or get insulted by it. I frankly don't see the point.

Monoplyguy> I meant FLUENTLY, how are you going to have a conversation
if you only know how to say cuss words and "one beer please" (and come on, you're 13, why would you NEED beer?)

Underage drinking = not cool

he's only a 13 year old little kid XD and he still thinks drinking is cool, one day he's gonna die from drunk driving :O!!!

Maiko (Jun 10, 2005)
I think artists have a responsiblitity. People CAN draw crude and discriminating picture, but I think that if you're an artist
you won't do things that will make people think you're stupid. If you truly value the skills as an artist you have been given
it's really uneccesary for you to draw crude pictures, unless you're trying to make a statement. I think if you go out and draw
the Nazi symbol and say something like "that's so cool" or something, it's pointless and makes people angry at you. If you
draw a nazi symbol and say something like "stop the hate" maybe people won't be so angry at you. what I'm trying to say
is, if you're going to draw something that will have a deep impact on the people around you, think before you do it.
  icon
Maiko (Jun 10, 2005)
PLEASE stop getting off topic.
  icon
squee (Jun 10, 2005)
Perfectly said there Mai. Sure you can love being in the KKK but if you'd rather do art with the KKK stuff in it. Think before you draw. Don't do it if you know people won't agree with you or even give you good criticizm. You could draw the most beautiful people but let it all go downhill because it's of something of that origin. It happens to a lot of people. I agree totally with Maiko there.

fluffylover (edited Jun 10, 2005)
well, that was retarded of you now wasnt it? if the first one got deleted, wha makes you think you can get away with drawing it again? americas youth needs to learn to mature and act their age. dont just draw something because "it looks cool" the nazi organization is an extremely controversial subject and shouldnt be tossed around like a joke.
  icon
Zack (Jun 10, 2005)
the simple fact that we even allow an "extreme" rating should imply the fact that we aren't inclined to delete controversial pictures. a shitty drawing is a shitty drawing. the fact that it was a swastika has little to do with the fact that it was deleted.

I'm not sure whether or not an obviously pro-nazi picture would be deleted if it had geniune artistic merits. to my knowledge no pictures have been deleted for being too controversial. however, it might be reasonable to say we draw the line at hateful pictures. I will consult with Marcello on the subject.
  icon
kejoco (Jun 10, 2005)
I was the one who originally requested it be deleted.
I wasn't offended, i just thought it was a stupid attempt to offend others with no thought or effort put into the drawing.
It was crap, and as such it should have and was deleted.
  icon
Xodiak (Jun 10, 2005)
We should make another forum post asking if anyone here on 2draw is pro-nazi or racist. But not for banning them afterwards, but for loving them and becoming friends with them! Only the power of love can make people good. It is true, I saw it in the movie "Little Nicky" starring Adam Sandler. <:)
|XOD|
  icon
mazi (Jun 10, 2005)
i dont see the big deal really. like zack said, theres an extreme rating for a reason; to block out offensive drawings. we cant decide which points of views are less appropriate, really. im sure for tons of drawings certain people would be offended. the swastika isnt even a completely nazi thing.
The swastika is a very old symbol with use widespread throughout the world. Sometimes referred to as a “Gammadion" "Hakenkreuz” or a "Flyfot,” it traditionally had been a sign of good fortune and well being The word “swastika” is derived from the Sanskrit “su” meaning “well” and “asti” meaning “being.” It also is considered to be a representation of the sun and is associated with the worship of Aryan sun gods. It is a symbol in both Jainism and Buddhism, as well as a Nordic runic emblem and a Navajo sign.

to get rid of a religious symbol interferes with freedom of speech and in itself is kinda like nazism, isnt it? kinda like when the nazis mistreated jewish people?
  icon
kejoco (Jun 10, 2005)
I'm not sure if you saw the drawing in question or not, but it was without thought or effort, it deserved to be deleted.
I do agree that the site should not be censored for content, just effort and quality
  icon
Zack (Jun 10, 2005)
erm, she was just saying that how controversial a picture is has little to do with whether or not it's deleted. she wasn't defending the picture itself. you'll notice she didn't even mention the words "quality" or "effort."
  icon
Cordelia_Pink (Jun 10, 2005)
I still think the site should be censored for content rather than effort and quality. I know there are some 18+ drawings that you can't even tell that they're 18+ sometimes 'cause it's just so badly drawn but like it's been said before, people visit the site in schools. lol I think it's just good the way it is, there's no need to make some changes to anything here. People just need to be more responsible when they rate their pictures and some people need to be more cautious too.

to get rid of a religious symbol interferes with freedom of speech and in itself is kinda like nazism, isnt it? kinda like when the nazis mistreated jewish people?

Not unless if it's offending people. What you might not find offending, might be offending to someone else. To me, it's not offending but that doesn't mean it's being insensitive (and I'm not saying you are). I think it's just safer if it's not visible anywhere at all. "Better safe than sorry".

Zack (Jun 11, 2005)
Removing any potentially offensive content would be a great way to make this site extremely boring.

If it's your goal to straighten out the morals of netizens, do so in memos and comments, not through stringent administration.
  icon
Xodiak (Jun 11, 2005)
Most 18+ drawings (with the exception of my silly drawings) are usually the best pictures in terms of effort and artistic quality. If everyone would try not to offend anyone, by anyone's offense standard, then there would be no drawing, just like the movie Pleasantville. >:)
|XOD|
  icon
Kloxboy (Jun 11, 2005)
Everything is just fine, don't change a thing, 2Draw is the best site, particularly because you can draw whatever you want. If you want a fascist oekaki site, look up Fearsome Oekaki. If you want clean and happy oekaki, just Google oekaki and you'll find plenty of clean sites.
  icon
method3 (Jun 11, 2005)
Just to make clear, images should and will be set to whatever is the appropriate rating that will allow someone to filter it out with their own configuration settings. Basically if you don't want to see it, change your view rating settings and the mods will work to make sure that the ratings are enforced properly.

Mods have not and will not discriminate against discriminating images on terms other than quality/lack of effort. =P

Niether did I, marc. I have a cousin who's jewish and I'm not sure if he was in the halocost, but I know his family remebers it. I also saw the halocost musium this week while in D.C and I'm not particually happy that people on here think it's 'cool' to draw the Nazi symbol. and if any of you are ever in Washington D.C., I'd advise you to see the Holocost place you'l learn alot.
  icon
Knockoff (Jun 19, 2005)
Well, you see, the bad thing about the internet is, that you can't hide anything from anyone. People are still going to click on the image and look at it even if it says 18+. You can't do much about it. I think if you don't want to see it, just ignore the pictures that you don't like.

then the 13+ thing will be just be an imagination. *sigh*
  icon
method3 (Jun 20, 2005)
The "13+ thing" is not "imaginary". If absolutely necessary 2draw will ban/remove accounts that are under the age of 13. Read more about the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Personal information such as name, date of birth, email, etc. is provided optionally by the user and is displayed under the assumption that it is legal for us to do so. Email which may be explicitely required for user registration is not displayed automatically and is kept in a private database used only for the internal runnings of this website.

So if you're under the age of 13, don't be an idiot. It may be that in the future 2draw will have to somehow do some age verification or get parental consent of some sort.
  icon
voodoobunny (Jun 20, 2005)
so 2draw is going to remove those accounts? what if someone's got good drawings and stuff here...and her/his work will just disappear? Maybe we could leave those ones, who's been here at least a month out of this and delete the newbies, and don't let in anymore of those children. (who are under 13). but of course then, they will cheat about their ages.

method3 (Jun 20, 2005)
If absolutely necessary, in other words if 2draw is legally threatened for this reason.
