So, to kick this off right:
The Acceptable Upload Policy (AUP) has been updated. You can find a list of changes/updates can be found here.
Somebody hasn't chugged their Mountain Dew Amp'd for the morning. You can click through can find this:
Brief run-down of changes:
Aww, Sean, you
read us, do you? Of course you do.
Anyway, it seems like he tried to address a lot of the criticisms leveled by yours truly in the previous thread. Dunno if any FAF users pointed any of the same stuff out.
What's new:
- The photography policy was yet further restricted. Pictures of, e.g. DVD collections are prohibited. Pictures of animals eating are no longer allowed. This seems to (sensibly) prohibit, say, a wild animal feeding on a carcass but is it necessary to ban a picture of, say, your Lab eating Purina Dog Chow?
- Body part photographs are not allowed. The example given suggests that this is aimed at foot fetish photographs, though I am not aware of any specific incidents that might've prompted such a ban.
- Music is further restricted to prevent uploads of trivial remixes.
- Memes are permitted, as long as they're not memes, apparently.
- A new policy requires all contributors to a work to be cited.
I am not aware of any incidents that led to any of this, most of it seems to be clarification. He says in the introduction that he contacted 60 to 70 people to get feedback on this, which seems excessive. I don't know how many responded, I can't imagine it was anywhere near that number.
So. Nothing particularly comical this time around.
