I think this is not in the policies of nationstates.

Discussion about the ethics and law regarding pornography doesn't break the PG-13 rule. Now, if they were going into excessive and/or descriptive details about pornography itself, that might be another story.

A question actually since it's been brought up. We were discussing specific porn sites in the above thread and we decided it best to censor the exact names of said sites.
Would using them be grounds for a smack on the wrist, so to speak?

Linking to said sites will get you smacked (severely).

Mentioning, I am not sure. Another mod can chime in there.

Anyone who wants to know the names of porn sites can Google them easily. I'm not seeing a reason to promote them here. This is equally true for bad porn sites / sites to avoid, as we really don't want to encourage visitation. The question is too hypothetical for a fuller answer.

... plus, we don't want anyone reading this to be able to say "Well, Fris said we couldn't mention [xxx] or [yyy], but he didn't say anything about [zzz]. So that's okay, right?" That's the inherent problem with list solutions, and why we avoid them wherever possible.

Yeah, that you can just google "porn" and come up with an endless list of sites was pointed out.
To be more specific, the comments were along the lines of "[porn site] had a good list of videos, but the content is poor". I don't think that's particularly bad myself, but I, and others, decided to err on the side of caution anyway.

It was just something that came up in the thread and I thought here would be a good place to ask, out of curiosity. Thanks for your time.

Hmm
