Pornography has been discussed frequently on Drivetribe since our launch. Inspired by a very popular post by Stephen Hodge and a campaign by Patricia Pedrosa of Girl Power we have decided to review our policy. To get an understanding of the Drivetribe community perspectives on this subject please read Stephen's article and check out Patricia's tribe and video.

The Drivetribe Porn Policy

Pornography is not welcome on Drivetribe.

More Details

There are many definitions of "what is pornographic" so rather than getting into detailed descriptions of what body parts are acceptable to show on Drivetribe we are going to enforce this policy with this phrase:

"Pornography is content that is clearly adult content or exploitative, misogynistic, sexually explicit, or demeaning to either men or women."

- Any tribe or post that is pornographic based on the above definition will be deleted.

- The author of the post or Tribe Leader will be warned that this content is unwelcome on Drivetribe. Mistakes can be made so we will deal with issues on a case-by-case basis and with due discussion with the author and tribe leader but persistent porn posters will be banned from Drivetribe.

Grace Period

Today is the 23 August 2017. We ask anyone who is likely to fall foul of this policy to remove tribes and content before midday on Friday 25 August 2017.

But this is censorship!

Yes, I suppose that it is. And the word "ban" will not go down well with everyone. However, we are not averse to banning something when we think it is really wrong - free speech includes the ability to legislate for moral ends.

There is no reason why the automotive community should not follow other sectors and take a stand against the exploitation of women and men.

We want Drivetribe to be fun, edgy and engaging for everyone but that does not mean that the use of crude adult-only appeal to drive up bumps and views is acceptable. There are plenty of places on the Internet for this sort of content ... honestly, it's just not us.

Comments welcome

Very happy to discuss this below.
