re 23 Actually, most of us don't. You're thinking of the people who have
regularily posted on the GreX BBS for over three years.

Hmm... You didn't read the information you were given when you ran newuser,
naftee? You should take a look at the grex-limits page mentioned in the motd.
Or just enter
!grex-limits
at the nearest prompt.

re 26 I ran newuser years ago. Even if I did read it, I certainly can't
remember. I also ran into that rule on GreX party several months ago. It
was recounted to me by remmers. Anyhow, I'll try not to bump into the nearest
prompt :-0 .

Pointers to those bits of text from newuser are now in the motd.

A little late, but still important point.
I accidentally killed grex years ago when a text file in my web area got
posted to a high profile place and everyone flocked here to check it
out. Therefore that is a real danger. I don't know how many times that
sort of thing has happened before. At least once.
The policy against no graphics also went like this. Grex prefers not to
censor things based on content. If grex allows graphics, then someone
can set up a porn site here of questionable legality and we have no leg
to stand on if we need/want to take it down until after the board has
gone to jail for hosting something where the question went bad rather
than good. If there is a no graphics policy then we have every right to
take it down. Therefore no graphics allowed policy.

How could that possibly be anything BUT censoring on content and ALSO
censoring on having the same format as censored content?!

I took the text file away.
Let me try with a more specific example.
Someone comes here and opens a porn site bacause we allow graphics.
Some people look at the site and bring up in coop that all the models
look very young. Grex would be required by law to censor such content.
If we don't, then the board goes to jail. If we do, and it turns out
that the site has legal documents certifiying that all models are at
least 5259601 minutes old, then we might be liable to a civil suit
because we violated our own policy without any sort of justification.
In that light it is pretty obvious that the only safe course is to not
allow graphics regardless of content.
With this setup we can still meet our mission. The system will still be
usable. Our exposure to danger is minimized.
