Stupid fucking politicians. Looks like I'm going to have to resign my position.

Not sure if you have to have to change things drastically, but it's always a good idea to be careful.

An idea we were discussing on IRC: a Safebooru option for Moe Imouto.
It accesses the same server as the main site, but filters out the rating:q and rating:e posts to only show the safe ones.
This means that loli and shota should never be rating:s, and that posts need to have their ratings checked a little more carefully. I used to use Safebooru more often, but since Danbooru is more lenient about what falls into safe, there's not much of a point anymore.

Stupid laws that went overboard. Sad that normal citizen can't do shit except saying fuck you to the govern :/
I hope using blacklists is enough to satisfy UK law.

Resigning my mod position wouldn't change anything. Maybe a bit of an over-reaction on my part...

I really would like it. I already blacklisted rating:e but a lot of questionnable pictures are too much explicit, imo.
Uh...yeah...the thought of police coming after you, that may turn you into Thomas Lancaster Dubois [The Boondocks].

Damn you Blooregardo Q Kazoo.

I'm wondering.....what if this Act happens to change more in order to destroy this place?
"is grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character."
So who gets to decide what is offensive or disgusting?
Ok. Now that was quite mean. Look, I can use Zerochan pretty well, for an example, which allows ecchi pictures, but not explicit ones.

In the worst of the cases, maybe we should try doing the same?...

Of course, let's stick with the site as it is right now. Hunf, politicians.
Hope it doesn't affect the site as it is.

At a guess that would be http://www.cps.gov.uk
Doubt the law changes anything, that law been the case over here since forever, nobody have ever been tried in court for it, it's just there for formalities.

This guy. Always blame him.
I see...

They might as well ban porn.
I suddenly remembered Ned Flanders.
What is their definition of "image"?
illustration != photograph
Please move moe's servers to a country without idiotic moralists... or a corrupt country, whichever is easier.
Hmm isn't it in the USA though? I can't remember where I read that. (Maybe it's wrong) As it appears this is for the UK and since servers need to be moved... But incase it is in the UK what about the USA or Canada? As far as I've read or heard I haven't seen any real harsh rules there about this.
We're hosted in Chicago, Denver, and somewhere in Spain
Ah there we go. Knew I was right somewhere.Thanks admin2! Well my guess is they needn't be moved then mirror. As those places are perfectly fine with it(if my news is correct)

I'm looking into it. Can you give me some more details? Like how much storage, minimum server specs, bandwith per month, amount of server support by staff, etc.

One option may be http://i3d.net/dedicated-servers-root-servers.php specs

Probably better to ask admin2 on IRC
10TB traffic won't do the site good at all :P thats probobly barely one days worth of traffic.

No 10TB is insane for a day. They offer unmetered servers lower on the page too.
2tb a day

at least 500gb of space

cpu/memory not that important....

Wow, I stand corrected. Didn't know moe was that popular. Will look at only unmetered then.
