At Wolflore, we're proud to host the Morrowind advlt Modding History. Like our sister site, GHF, we're hosting some old gems that some may have forgotten about or others may not have ever known about. If you're looking for advlt mods of years past, take a look at our selection. You'll find a link to our site in my sig. Please note that registration is required to view our advlt content. Also, if you have a mod you would like to share with us, please do. The more we have, the better we feel. :hehe: Thank you.

Q: Can I link to the website for a mod with advlt content, or to the mod itself, as long as that site doesn't have any pictures? What if I include a disclaimer in my post?

A: In all of these cases the answer is no. It's not acceptable to simply include a disclaimer in your post, and even if that site doesn't have pictures you still can't link to it. We don't like this sort of content as it creates problems for us, so you'll have to be a little forgiving when dealing with our rules. If you have a question about what percentage of a site can contain these kinds of mods, there's a good chance you're going to have a problem with it.

If you had bothered to look at the link in my signature, you would have noticed that I did include the disclaimer page. So far, no moderator or member of Bethesda's staff has contacted me about linking to Wolflore so I fail to see why you're bothering me with something I already know about. Unless you have something useful to add to the discussion, I suggest you go elsewhere and take your notions of morality with you.

I think pointing out that your thread and signature are breaking the rules is useful. Just because a moderator hasn't contacted you about it doesn't mean it's okay; they likely haven't seen it. The rule that Sslaxx quoted specifically says that including a disclaimer does not make it acceptable, yet you use the disclaimer in your defense, which is a little confusing.

As far as I'm concerned, unless someone in authority points out that I am breaking the rules, I'm not concerned about it. As I said, you cannot view any advlt content at Wolflore unless you register so this is a non-issue unless someone wants to make it one.

I have an idea, instead of everyone playing hall monitor, why not make a report to an actual site administrator and let them make the decision??? I know, I'll do it myself.

Let me repeat for clarity, though: REFERENCING advlt mods has never been a problem on these forums. REFERENCING advlt modding sites has never been a problem on these forums. Unless you are registered, you CANNOT access advlt material on Wolflore, even if you click past the Bethesda disclaimer and see Wolflore's portal page.

(sigh)
Well, my two cents on this, for what it's worth...
1. Anyone in the Community may post anything they think may be of interest to one, two, dozens, or hundreds of other Community
Members, as long as they follow the accepted Community Rules. The idea is, "If you don't like it, don't play/download/look at/discuss it";

2. The Threadspinner's initial post is no different than any other of the many "Mod List" posts to be found on these Forums. It talks about
hosting some older mods that may not be otherwise available elsewhere, and directs only INTERESTED people where to go. It's just rather
specialized...

3. The Forum Moderators are very active on these Forums, and if they found anything to object to, they would doubtless have said something
by now. They have not. Most likely because they actually TRIED the links involved, and decided they were "safe" - And -- trust me--
WolfLore will not let anyone anywhere NEAR anything that might offend the average nine-year-old's innocence, without making them jump
through a bunch of hoops, all of which have disclaimers. If you have tried it, you will know...But, of course, people will lie...

4. Reading, and comprehending, the entirety of the "advlt/Mature Content" sticky above on these Forums (rather than just picking out one
section to quote -- although that's how lawyers make the big bucks in RL, by the way -- ) reveals that there is nothing inherently wrong with
this thread.

5. You have been sufficiently answered by Jac.
Want to discuss "advlt Content Links" further?

Suggest you start your own thread, and attract other like-minded Community Members to it.

One person's opinion (and, as a Forum Member, I'm entitled to it).

We don't have a problem with this approach. Firstly the site linked to is behind a disclaimer. Secondly, the site behind the disclaimer does not show any nudity upon opening. Which, if it did, might have indeed posed a problem. And, thirdly, merely mentioning the existence of an advlt mod or advlt mod library has never been an offense. Discussion is fine, just don't take it too far and spill the details. :)

I'm sure if I tried real hard I could come up with a fourthly and a fively..are those even words??

Anyway, if 'general you' thinks a thread might need the attention of a moderator, we'd appreciate it if 'general you' would use the report function instead of trying to take matters into your own hands at the risk of derailing a thread. Thanks. :)
