Hey Guys,

I am working on making an adult community forum. Yeh I know, people have advised me not too but I am gonna try it out. This will be a surfer community forum so people will be able to interact and submit content. Now my question is the about the content being submitted. I am getting some ideas from an already established community forum and they operate this way and it is very popular. But one of their rules on submitted content is that it cannot have sponsor/cash links with the content. They do not allow link logos on the images either. They request that you have all content on an image host provider. So I am thinking, isn't this a fine line of being illegal (unless the content is owned by the poster)? I mean this forum is all about the law and rules but I don't get why they do not allow sponsor/cash site links on the submitted content. You know that all this content is not owned by these posters so I am trying to figure out why they have this rule.

I spoke with a couple of my sponsors and they simply said that if the submitted content is linked back to their site then it is perfectly fine by them. So I ask, is there or what is the guidelines when submitting content on a community forum like this? In no shape or form do I want to be allowing illegal content. I have mods that will be on my forum to request specific information before content can be submitted but I just need to know the guidelines.

thx in advance
