As some of you probably have noticed, member "kiddo" likes the hentai.  :P

I know some of us would be sensitive to have a half naked Nanami glaring at us every post... and some of us wouldn't.  (I personally don't care.)

Now it's up to you.  I hacked in an option to your Profile to allow disabling of such images.  If you don't explicitedly check the box allowing yourself to see them, they'll be masked by:

(http://www.el-hazardonline.net/El-Hazard/public_html/YaBBImages/naughty.gif)

The only thing I'm going to enforce on this is that if you DO use an image that may cause someone to twitch, you better check the box right below the avatar URL specifying the image to have adult content.  If you don't, an admin will.

That is all...

I need to make a habit of coming here more regularly...... I miss out on everything. ^^;

kiddo, where is that pic from anyway? Looks more "authentic" than most hentai fanart.

BTW Rob, I noticed you can't right-click/save people's avatars? I keep trying to steal...... uf, I mean I really admire bakasama's aniimated You're Under Arrest GIF... ^^;

*shrug* Dunno, there's nothing non-standard about them.  (Script generates regular ol' <img src> tags and everything.)

http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/bokuto/images/miyukichase.gif

Does that help?

;p  My um onsite-not-linked collection directory actually.  I collect everything El-Hazard, after all... although at this time I think hentai oversteps the general theme limit of the site.  (So I'd only ever give out links on a personal request.)

For the record, it was Neil who found most of what's in there, and was also the first one to use (a crop of) one as an avatar.

Yes it does actually! Strange, I never usually have a problem with that on boards using the YaBB code? ???

There are quite a few links for El-Hazard hentai. I got most of what I found myself at www.e-hentai.net but there's also places Neil found like http://skyhent.curvedspaces.com/elhazard/ that could also be of use. :O

How odd that a topic that was meant about censoring material like that to a younger or sensitive audience... and you post links on more of this kind of stuff.  The irony... *thunk*

... I'm not telling you that use there, Rob. :P

And Tim: well, when you put optional censorship over the more "mandatory" all-pr0n-is-teh-bad censorship in many other communities... :P

Well, besides the obvious most general, I suppose.  ;p

Mm... yes, I'm not one to hold heavy censoring policies, simply because I dislike them.  As long as someone has an interest that does not cause damage to humanity as a whole (child molestation, racial/other target hatred, etc.), I really would like people to be free to express whatever makes them tick.

Of course, as a public servant, I also have to offer a comfort zone... so this whole thread is about a comprimise position.  ;)  Also not being strictly a "hentai" zone, and a general carrier of more older people (20+), I don't really want to have "touchy" imagery just blantantly displayed to those who might be married and/or have [innocent] children about the place.  (Or anyone else who would throw them out for a shot of nudity on the computer screen even if they're not responsible for it  ::))

Plus, I also didn't develop a lot of policies besides the basics that we all take for granted involving the internet.  So I have no idea what I really should be enforcing for or against.  ;p  I'm kind of winging it at the moment... I also admit this has probably been the largest, most stable community I have ever been the head of.  It's not a LOT to speak of... but it's gratifying anyway.  ;)

Actually I am hoping to get some fame one way or another... at least go down in history as an El-Hazard record... but I lack much direction.  Hmm.  (Actually, if people were more in general familiar with El-Hazard, someone might note that my Saturn project was a big thing for an anime community to create.  ;))

Hmm, this new event is certaintly one to think about. I usually get most of my screen time while at school, in the library (right now, I'm in US History) I was just wondering what the consequences would be if I checked the little box or whatever and a teacher happened to see the proudly naked anime character on the screen. It's too bad that I can't just set it for my home computer, since I have no objections to seeing a few boobies now and then  ;) .

Yeah, that would require it to be a cookie option as opposed to a profile option.

At best, you can use the mid-ground; if you click on said user's name (which brings up their profile), where the picture WOULD be is a link to the questionable image (no matter what your setting is).

Well, it was a great ide ahaving the avatar censor thingy put on, because you might get some kids on here that arent allowed to see things like kiddo's Avatar.

However, one could argue that if a poster wasn't allowed to see a pair of cartoon breasts, they really shouldn't be watching El-Hazard (which contains breasts by the barrelful in the hot springs episode) in the first instance.

I haven't seen that one, but my mum walked into the room when I was watching EH2 ep.2 when Fatora and Alielle were in the pool, and she was like, 'When did I give you permission to watch this sort of thing?' but when I told her that Fatora and Alielle were lesbians she said, 'When did I give you permission to what this sort of thing?'

So, I have no idea what I'm allowed to watch any more. I'm nearly thirteen for crying out loud!

Heh I know you don't want to hear this...but you ARE only 13... and I can understand why you mom is worried about you...

MY mom wouldn't let me near that when I was 13... There are stories my dad STILL won't tell me becuase he says I'm "not old enough" ^_^; Always eludes to them to get me interested then says... "nope... you'll never be old enough for that one!"

Your mom just wants to make sure you grow up "right" whatever "right" is... and I agree that some situations are too complicated for younger viewers to understand. She is probably concerned that what you were watching is one of those situations. El-Hazard touches on some topics that are very touchy in today's society... you just need to keep that in mind... it is bound to offend some people.

I think you're doing just fine Rob. There was this one kid at the AN forums who was just obsessed with Sakura from CCS. He even had a Sakura hentai avatar and "Sakura's ecchi lover" as his title. That's just sick! Sakura is a grade school girl! He even tried to justify it! And, people backed him up! It's a sick world, man.

Well, that's somewhat disturbing... mind you, one could equally argue that anime isn't at all realistic in terms of character design. Alielle, who is aged 15-16, looks about 13 at the start of the series and about 8 at the end of it. Conversely, the girls from Tokyo Mew Mew are allegedly 11, but look older than Alielle. Odd.

Just a word about the avatar censor thing- 'tis a good idea. I have no problem with hentai, but alas my net access is limited to university computers. Gawd knows, I abuse my priveleges enough as it is without some professor clocking me looking at Nanami's airbags. Just remember that hentai has a place, kids... under your bed where your parents can't find it ^_^

Curious that you should mention Fatora and Alielle's frolicking in OAV2... far from being unsuitable for kids, OAV2 in its entirety was rated PG in Britain (where the scale goes U, PG, 12, 15, 18), meaning there were no age restrictions on buying it. The highest rating went to the tape containing the first two OAV1 episodes. That got a 15, despite having no nudity... the second tape only got a 12. I suspect Alielle's nocturnal antics were the main factor contributing to this.

Alternative World never got licensed in Britain, but Pioneer rate it as 13 and up- even the notorious Arliman rehash episode. That episode is probably the only one I would consider 'unsuitable' for anyone under 13. Oh well. Age restrictions aren't really enforced in America, and even if they were people would get round them (Britain is proof of that). Now, any one for Hen? ^_~

Note: On the offchance that anyone here knows what Hen is, then let me reassure you that I'm joking. But as a biologist, it is kind of intriguing from an anatomical perspective...

I always love how my situations have a two-sided issue solved that I didn't even think much about.  :P  I must be a genius... of course, I don't know what "Hen" is, and at first just assumed it shorthand for the 6 letter word.  Or the female chicken.  Which makes it really akward.

you rule Rob Jinnai !!!  8)

this is the first forum I've ever been that has such option. I've been to a lot of anime  & games forum; tenchi, bebop, final fantasy etc etc and none of them ever has that option.
Whenever such problem arise, usually it only stops after tons of flaming messages among members, a lot of bitterness, and a locked topic

Yeah, I stumbled onto those awhile back, myself.  Those pictures are too explicit for my tastes-- at least, for anime characters.  I like an onsen episode as much as the next guy, and some of the hentai doujinshi are fun, but please, leave something to the imagination.

I still can't believe that someone did two Kiriya pictures.  And I thought I was obsessive.  She couldn't have had more than five minutes on-screen?

In the spirit of reviving old threads, I am here to ask a semi-legitimate question.

What would be considered as an "explicit" image? Something merely sexual, or anything that has the capacity to offend someone? I'm asking because I am thinking of putting in a sig pic which has Jinnai... um,showing his appreciation to the audience with his middle finger. Now, this doesn't offend me at all (on the contrary; I find it extremely funny) but it might offend someone else. Can I put it up?
Title: Re: Avatar Censor Option
Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on July 22, 2003, 08:54:40 pm
... y'know, I'm not sure.  That's totally borderline.  I know a few around here look at these forums at the workplace or where there may be children or something.  But actually, if you really mean a picture in your signature, there's no actual censorship option on that as of now.  If it's your avatar, you may want to concider doing the lock, but if it's going in your sig, I guess you don't need to worry about it.

Is that the infamous image from the Wanderers, btw?
Title: Re: Avatar Censor Option
Post by: Lord God Jinnai on July 22, 2003, 09:28:38 pm
Actually, it was something I made myself.

I also made a pic of Jinnai brutally disemboweling that swine Makoto, but I thought it best to leave it in my private collection.
