Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-5199231-20190803222750

Hello fellow Fandom users! I just wanted to introduce a new discussion topic in the hope that some of the Wikia decision-makers will be able to see my points and take them into consideration. I am aware that Fandom is going through some technical changes, so I figured now might also be a good time to propose some content changes.

As the founder and main editor of a website partially devoted to the GTA universe and other organized crime-related content, it is quite obvious that some of my articles or images will have to include some touchy content. FANDOM Bot has occasionally been quite intrusive and not understanding of this, so I have recently decided to use a censoring website to blur out any potentially-controversial content. Even with the censor pixels, FANDOM Bot still sees fit to delete the images. These images are not of a graphic nature, as they do not depict sex, gore, or full-on nudity; some of them are of NPCs who may be partially uncovered or are scantily clad. When appropriate, I apply censorship to ensure that there is no disputable sexual content, while also adequately representing a significant number of video game characters and NPCs on my website.

Essentially, I propose that FANDOM should allow for the censoring/blurring-out of disputable images in order to end any debate about their compliance with the Terms of Use. Ironically, the Terms of Use allows a "small amount of video game nudity", and my images are somehow deleted for violating the Terms of Use when the "small amount" is actually fully censored! I hope that any other users who are facing the same problem and any administrators interested in examining the situation will take interest in this discussion and consider changing the methods under which FANDOM Bot operates. Simply put, we should look at the context under which images are uploaded, and consider the users' efforts to make them appropriate for Wiki. Thanks for your time, and I hope that the FANDOM leadership will consider amending or re-evaluating this policy.
