<Snipped quote by Dagger>

Thank you so very much for your reply.  I was worried that I might have gone too far.

Luckily, I got a reply via PM from one of the Moderators and was told that while I was at the edge, I didn't step over it.

However, in the future, I think I am going to tone down the erotica even farther.  I may even go back and tone down the already-posted replies and ask my writing partner to do the same.  

Again, thanks!!

The guys here covered it pretty well with the AdSense stuff, but most of the time it does come down to us evaluating the context of the images/writing and seeing how it may trigger AdSense. For example an image of a woman in a bikini shouldn't trigger it, or a nude male who's in a bed with a sheet lightly covering his lower body, and to be truthful there are probably some images that could be posted that wouldn't necessarily trigger it either, but we just usually take a step of, [i]"If it may trigger, we'll just be safe and remove it"[/i] (Yes I've had to remove images of Sonic the Hedgehog hermaphrodite smut). We also do have to keep in mind that there are minors who view the site and they may come across these images.

Words can be a bit different as certain combinations of phrases could trigger the AdSense, so it's why we ask that any smut would be taken to the PMs as the PM system is hidden away from AdSense. That also means that you are free to do what you want in the PMs with images, phrases, etc. They're [i]your[/i] private domain and not even the mods/Google have access to view them so you can do what you want in there.

In regards to the rules, they are written fairly harshly and firm so that they portray the view that we want the site to have. "[i]Staff do reserve the right to remove any smut which may appear on the public forum"[/i] just means that if we see something it's gonna disappear before we tell you about it, and mentions of bans are there as a deterrent to prevent something really bad from happening. In the 4 years that I've modded there's only been two bans that I've seen with both being around the topic of minors.
