Aywas has updated its Terms of Service to add a new section under "Forbidden Material":
"No user may post any material that is sexually explicit or that is illegal in any way on Aywas.com. Users may not post about, mention, reference, or otherwise discuss the following topics: the desire to commit animal abuse, bestiality, child sexuality or pedophilia, warez or hacked programs, suicide, cult creation, or threatening of, or the killing of another person, both on Aywas and off. "
Aywas is not a place to discuss the desire to commit animal abuse or methods in which to do so. Thank you for your understanding and observance of our new rule.

Oh my God. I'm horrified that it needed to be said, but glad it's been cracked down on.

I get about the TOS change for the animals (though like everyone else I'm shocked this came about) but, what about for the Life Help section? I thought that was made so those that did feel like taking their own life could possibly find support and not do so. Either way I hope those who need support can find it still.

Part of me is curious as to what necessitated this addition in the first place. Though it's incredibly sad that ANY of those have to be specifically forbidden. :(

I agree with most of this update, but have to say that putting a ban on discussing suicide issues is only going to hurt those who are in need of help. It's not a comfortable subject but I'm not sure it isn't doing more harm than good to make it against the rules for those in need of a means to talk to do so with supportive people on the site.

Aywas is not the right site to get help for suicidal thoughts. There are professionals for that and allowing it opens us up to a whole lot of legal liability. We would rather direct people to places that are certified to handle those situations than risk having us shut down.

The fact we had to put it in the ToS is horrible, but thank you for doing so all the same. Hopefully this will be the end of it as a issue here.
