As the title says, we’ve got a lot of reports about this, and we have Rule 7 - Should we take a hardline stance of no OF/SC/links etc? Vote in the comments.

    Are people seriously getting mad at women for giving them free content and suggesting you can support them if you like it and want to see more?

    This place will die without sex workers.

      While I agree that this place is too small to survive without them, for me knowing that every post and interaction on here it’s just an ad to make me pay takes out a lot of the fun

        Nobody is asking you to pay or to click on the links. Down vote (if you care so much) or simply move on.

    I don’t think it should be allowed in titles, watermarks, comments etc but I don’t see a problem with it being on someone’s profile so long as it’s not in the community. Just my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ Although, I was banned from reddit gw for having redgifs (which some subs require you to post with) and lemmy linked on my profile. Kind of silly since I asked if it was okay and was told I could continue posting, only for them to change their mind a couple days later.

    I’m 100% OK with OF creators posting but they should keep the links in their profile. The flood of posts with subscription links are annoying.

    The first thing I do anytime a new poster posts OC is check their profile to see what they have there because it affects the nature of the relationship they are looking for here. In my opinion, if you are selling your content in any form then you have not ‘gonewild.’

    The spirit of the original sub was to allow a space for exhibitionism. When you allow it to be used as a vector for advertising then it will unfortunately devolve into the low effort posts that we’ve begun to see with a high amount of frequency lately. I don’t think a full ban on advertising will be healthy for the community with as small as it is at the moment, but there need to be some checks put in place at the least.

    I agree that all links in post titles, descriptions, and comments should not be allowed, but it should be okay for them to be in a users profile if someone chooses to seek that out. I think there should also be a harder stance taken on low effort engagement baits and OC posts where it’s clear the person themselves are not the one managing the accounts.

    If you share quality content here, you should be able to include a link to your OF for those that want more. What I think is not ok is low effort, teaser posts with an OF link. They do not add value to the community. Want to link your OF? Make sure to contribute some OC. No reposts!.

    You already barely have any content.

    Are you stupid enough to try and suffocate the people giving you content?

    No.

    The best content creators here have OF accounts. They need to eat too. Close them off and this place will slow to a crawl.

    This is a self-defeating move.

    Yeah, ban them. I want people to post because they want to, not because they are advertising. Makes the posts more genuine as well.

    For me a definitive yes on banning, as it’s the most interesting aspect of r/gonewild. I really don’t mind people advertising their OF on any other sub (realgirls, etc etc etc), but I do like that gonewild is unique in that respect.

    The only concern would be if the content disappears from this community, as it’s still growing.

      Literally the only reason I follow this community (and the predecessor on reddit) is because it’s supposed to be free of advertisement. Just exhibitionism for the sake of it.
