if we're not allowed to mention certain sites

It's not clearly marked 18+ at all and it's instantly there when you type in the website name, whereas you gave the example of Deviant art, you have to go into Photography, then portrait, then fetishes - you would have to be looking for it to find it really, whereas on the homepage of the site we are discussing it quite clearly highlights a list of 18+ topics.

I rest my case They're marked.

EDIT: WAIT A SECOND. I just clicked "Sexy Beautiful Women" and got a warning message :S

Yeah porn sites have that too, some porn sites don't even have any images on the first page, just a warning like that.

Well as mentioned by everyone here, you do not get any images come up on the main page nor titles of threads in the Popular Threads/Latest Posts sections, just marked sections of the website under Adult (18+). So what's the dispute? You're given a warning when about to view 18+ content. It's a no-brainer, this discussion is pointless and blocking/banning the website is a waste of time as it's already got systems in place to cover this. And the website isn't even a porn site :S

The difference between any chan site and porn sites is that chan sites have plenty of other uses which literally thousands of people use it for every day. RealRapTalk which happens to be the largest hip-hop forum on the net and is a fantastic source of not just news but also album downloads and plenty of other discussion features has a "Candy Shop" section with adult content, but you would never be able to compare RRT to a porn site and look like you know what you're talking about.

Like been said, a porn site has nothing but porn on it, 4 jackie chan has so much more. Obviously linking has to be careful, but simply saying 4 jackie chan should be fine.

The problem is that the images can be on the front page - it is random. Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not but in any event the rules do say not to link to anything 18+ with sexual content so that's that really. It is a Habbo Fansite after all.

I'm the only Forum Manager last time I checked Generally, Habbox Management have similar views therefore there'd be no need for them to post echoing what I've already said. It's my job to respond to feedback about the forum, so I'm doing so.

Only if they've been posted incorrectly into the wrong sections (which is against their rules and wins you an instant ban), and going by such logic one could assume that no site with public posting access ought to be mentioned at all just in case someone puts the wrong sort of content on it against the will of the owners
