Yes - We should ban these

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.

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

Advertising, in my opinion, goes against the spirit of gone wild. I have no problem with OF as a platform, but I’d like to think gone wild is more spontaneous. Just my two cents. If people are that interested, they’ll click into the profile and find plenty an OF link.

Probably ban links in posts/comments, but not on profiles. I think that's a good in between stance that will keep this comm's vibe while not driving away literally all the 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.

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!.

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.

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.

Confine that garbage to an onlyfansgirls channel and keep the real girls here.

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.

Would probably kill off a good 50% of posts. So no.

If there is a full ban then I think we relegate ourselves to either just getting reposts from other sites or having a tiny amount of posts. I’d like to see some restriction, but I think a full ban is too much.

Allowing links in comments but not posts sounds about right to me. But I’m open to other proposals.

If OF subscribers and mods decide they want advertising, they should remove Rule 7. Until then, it should be banned, as that's the consensus. No one seems to have a problem with links in profiles, however.

It's generally fine with me if some of our posters are able to sell elsewhere what they share here for free. What I'd ask is that content be presented non-commercially, as if trying to appeal primarily to viewers who aren't potential customers.

I vote for strict enforcement against advertising in titles, post texts, and unsolicited comments. Allowable in user profile.

Allow in comments (?)

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.

Not sure why it matters. Ignore the links and don't click them if you don't want to. They're still posting content, why did it actually matter other than some moral high ground for "pure" content or whatever you want to tell yourself.

As long as it isn't copy pasted from some professional site and is at least the person posting their own stuff, I don't care what their reasoning behind posting is.

The spirit of the original GW rules was to limit the sub to true amateur exhibitionists, so the community knew that anyone posting there was doing it for the fun of showing off. Allowing anyone who does it for money creates ambiguity if the post is for fun or advertising, and I feel that’s a negative.

I generally feel people who share good quality content and engage with communities are welcome, just not in gonewild or nofans which is by nature a seller-free space.

Reddit is basically just an OF Advert posting board now, so I guess we should have some controls on it if you don't want that happening here.

There are some awesome creators on here who have been great for the community, they regularly engage with users, post great original content, and I think it's fair that they want to sell their services and support themselves. I'm not opposed at all to links in their bios.

The last week or so has had a deluge of low quality posters and frankly it does not spark joy to browse my feed. I don't even trust that these posters are who they say they are -- the titles and bios are basically all the exact same format with the same emojis in the same places, and sentence the structure that's filled in with a basic form/script, and their post titles feel optimized to shit and lifted from other platforms.

I think additional verification for promoted content is required.

Hell yes please. Keep it in the profiles.

Ban them.

No - they should be allowed in post description/body

Yes ban, having it on your profile is good enough

They can put the promo on their profile, I say ban em

Links in profiles should be fine, but not directly in posts. If a user likes the content and clicks through to the profile to see more, they can find the link there. But keep subscription links out of peoples’ Home feeds.

Yes, please. This community is unuasble in its current state. Alternatively requiring onlyfans type posts to disclose that in the title would make it easier to avoid/filter those posts for users that dont want them.

You already barely have any content.

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

Would they still be able to ask for private messages?

Yes
