It only takes one soccer mom seeing the wrong parts of someone posting that horrible woody fanfic on the server before she calls her friend the lawyer in a fit of rage, and suddenly our server owner's life becomes more complicated than we'd like it to be.
And yeah I agree that 'creepy' is a really unuseful word for what we're trying to communicate, but given that this is the fourth page of the thread so far without a solution, I don't feel dumb that I wasn't able to come up with a better one.
yeah but i'm pretty sure anyone who'd call a lawyer about woody's got wood would probably end up calling them after they wander into the bar and see 2 naked dudes beating each other to death with severed arms and then eating the loser
I'd say the creepy rule should just be changed to "no sex stuff" because 99% of the time that's what it actually means
