out of all the pics they couldn've picked on out of ALL THE CRAP we have posted, they use a (clothed) pic of two dudes kissing?



Wat.

they still have to review the post, it's not an automatic report -> warning. so a human had to look at the picture and say "Yeah that violates TOS"

Oh yes, I was writing mine before you wrote yours.

I still can't see anything in the link they gave you that would say the Torchwood pictureis 'inappropriate', unless they count kissing as 'sexually explicit'? Surely not. And if they are making an exception for same sex kissing, they are on VERY shaky ground. Are they allowed to do that?

In reality, most of this thread violates TOS. Probably all of us have sailed pretty close to the wind at one point or another. 
Did the picture violate copyright perhaps? I can't see how the content of it could be a problem.

i posted the kiss on the previous page.
Sure, much of the entire forum will violate TOS in some way - language, sexual innuendo, what-have-you, but what is TOS about this?

posting it again to prove a point. clearly the only thing "questionable" is that it's two guys

edit
about copyright...
what images ever posted on this forum have copyright permission? that would clearly have to be a fake claim on their part to hide their homophobic warning

You may violate the Terms of Service if you:

  • Harass,
    threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another player that is
    unwanted, such as repeatedly sending unwanted messages or making
    personal attacks or statements about race, sexual orientation, religion,
    heritage, etc.

If they really are claiming that kissing is OK unless it's between men, then they're coming close to violating their own ToS.

Just thinking it might not be an issue of two guys kissing. The picture itself may be copyright & the TOS mentions copyright issues several times. If this server is in the US Bioware would have to be really careful about copyright infringements, even though the images are only linked here.



I'd be really surprised if this was seen to be objectionable. ESPECIALLY since this is an age restricted forum for an age restricted game.

@CZ - have you asked them to explain WHY you got this? Surely they'd give a reason if you said you wanted to know so you could avoid accidentally doing the same thing again?

I think that would fall under "fair use."

Yup. It's not like he posted an illegal link to the episode or something. :huh:

I repeat my first reaction: what the crap.

Yep, it's most definitely copyright. Anything copyright anywhere in the world is copyright in the US because of the Berne Convention that most countries have signed. The BBC monitors its material very closely and sends out takedown notices all the time. The logo would have had Bioware running scared I think.

I have posted a thread to ask about it:



http://social.biowar...6/index/2619074



i cannot see how copyright can be a claim when there are entire threads where people post funny pictures they find online in the off-topic, or when people post any image at all that's not a picture of their own faces.

Fair Use is a US copyright thing - it doesn't apply to most other countries. Screenshots of copyrighted tv programs are still copyright, no matter which country you are in. A screenshot that also includes a logo is also a trademark violation. 

Just saying ... (because I can't think of any other reason for that image to break TOS)

A pic of two guys kissing can hardly be considered inappropriate for the Dragon Age forum since the game itself has male/male kisses and implied sex.

Yeah, I posted a link to videos of the Captain Jack/Captain Jack kiss on Youtube and a kiss from Brokeback Mountain, plus stills in the past few weeks from Firefly, V, and Stargate. 

Here's another one, too. :P

Yes, it's sad.  On a more cheery note, here's a picture that I can't be reprimanded for because they're *not quite touching* yet:
