As you may or may not be aware of the Giant Bomb moderation team and myself have been embarking on a policy of removing all images on this site which contain act of sex, rape, molestation, and general nudity. This policy in particular has been directed towards Japanese hentai and eroge games. So far we have been ambiguous as to how this policy is being implemented and have not been disclosed the new official new rules to the users of this site. This will be remedied soon. Not only that but due to the surprisingly comprehensive nature of pornographic images on adult games we will soon be asking for the Giant Bomb Community's help in seeking out inappropriate images.

Now on the issue as to why we are doing this some of you may be aware of the new "No Hentai" rule on our sister site Anime Vice. After being contacted by Ethan to spread this rule to the public so is that more users would be aware of it I asked him if such a rule could be implemented on Giant Bomb. Perplexed he informed me that such a rule should have always existed. After directing him to the old Help and Forum Rules of this site which permitted many of the images we of the mod team are now deleting he realized that the former rules were accidentally copied and pasted from Anime Vice when they had hosts that felt comfortable covering hentai on their site. From this he indicated that Giant Bomb was never envisioned covering these games or hosting pornographic images in the first place. His exact word in a thread about questionable fan art was:

I feel I need to take some responsibility for this.  The rule about hentai above [old Forum Rules/Help] is actually a mistake.  That text was written specifically for the Anime Vice help page and accidentally got merged into the GB help page.  There is no hentai allowed on GB.  Also, Hentai images are no longer allowed on Anime Vice.   The text of our help page will be updated next code deploy.

But where am I suppose to find porn on the internet other than on GiantBomb?

I am very happy about this. I feel this is the way it should have always been, so if I see anything I will delete it.

" But where am I suppose to find porn on the internet other than on GiantBomb? "

No skin off my back.

I agree, this is how it always should have been.

Awesome.  One thing I can't stand is the random deviant art hentai, yaoi, yuri pics that get added to the site. 

You know, I could have sworn that early on a "no porn" rule existed and always wondered why the help text didn't match.

I always wondered what purpose it served to allow pornographic game images on the Bomb, as they are not strictly necessary for documentation purposes and people who really want to see them can find them plenty of other places. It's funny to think that it was all just because of a mistaken bit of text in the FAQ that the staff wasn't aware of. At any rate, I'd like to thank everyone who's currently working hard to clean up the site, and I hope no one who has uploaded these images takes it personally in any way.

I hope you won't censor genuine video game nudity, meaning nudity as part of a game which is not a "sex-game". I totally agree that random hentai or porn pictures do not belong here, but as long as it is game-related, it should stay on the site.

You should also crack down on the "users" who do nothing but spam links to that sort of stuff (like not real users). Back when I was trying to find new people to complete quests with, I found a LOT of accounts like that.

As much as I like to joke about this being the last straw that makes me finally leave the site, yeah this is probably for the best

I am 10% for this... even though it means my lists arent as funny

This website just got a lot less sexy. So if I find any image with nudity should I delete it?

What about all the Naked Cartoon Pussy!?
(Someone had to, right?)

I know now of a game called The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno. Thanks Porn Policy! You're the best!

Does this mean MattyFTM has to change his avatar?  I mean... it has testicles for a mouth.

I'll be sure to help out :)

As long as that includes any Dragon Age  broodmother pics.

Fuck you guys!!! "

So, if it gives me a boner, mark it for deletion?

Here's an update on what we've done on Anime Vice.  We deleted as many porny pics as we could find in user profile galleries and in the wiki galleries.   Only unavoidable boxart attached as the main image of a wiki article can have nudity in it now, because like here on GB, we still want to catalog some titles.  
You can do a search on google like this "site:animevice.com hentai" with safe search off and the results you will get are cached and lead to dead links.   We're requesting Google reindex AV asap.  Also, for any anime/manga wiki pages and it's characters that have the "Adult" theme set ( ya know, genre and theme fields) we put a NOINDEX meta tag in the source code that tells Google to ignore the page and not add to their search.  

The goal of all this besides being less creepy is to get our Google search traffic back.  A month back Google put AV in the penalty box for having to much NSFW content, which is a real shame because if you go check out the wiki, the kids over there have made some real strides in turning the quality of the content around this year.  Check out Fairy Tail the series and it's characters for example.

Well that's the update.  Thank you.
