I'm not actually sure if this violates TOS or not, since the pic is only hotlinked, not imagetagged, and not particularly graphic, but I figured I'd drop it here just to make sure. Wouldn't want any nasty moralistic crusaders to start suing NS, after all.

First paragraph.

It shows up as a text link for me, not as an image. But clicking it does take me there. However, as it is just text I don't see the issue.

On the actual image itself. I would have to say, a warning on the part of the author may be in order. I'll leave it to another mod to determine if it should be removed.

It is a text link, that's why I quoted the post. :P Sorry I wasn't clearer in the OP. But yeah, the fact it was a text link was why I was unsure if it actually violated the TOS or not.

I would say that I would leave it for now. It appears to serve a purpose as being part of the actual RP.

What, the picture? Okay. I just know Naggeroth was once deleted for linking to a site which happened to have a javascript advertisement for pr0nz that he didn't know about, so wasn't sure on the policy.

Thanks for checking.

It is just an image with no scripts on the page. I have "noscripts" and when I checked it, I had no scripts I had to enable or disable.

Well, yeah. It was the image I was unsure about, what with the fact it could be interpreted as anthropomorphic pornography, but I don't know what the TOS's stance on tasteful nudity vs pornographic imagry is.

Aha. That explains away the question I had.
