Question about uploading an underage model? - CraftyMaelyss - 07-30-2018
Hello everyone!
Recently my friends and I ripped some models from a game and we want to upload them here when they're ready but there's one big issue. One of the characters is a 15 year old girl that does not look her age and we want to make sure no one uses her inappropriately and cause a big messy legal mess that could effect this website. I've written up a read.me file called "Legal notice" stating this characters age being 15 years old (a minor) and I want to include it in a preview/screenshot of the model so no one can essentially claim that they didn't see it.
What I want to ask is, how can I do this without violating any rules but make sure that users know that they cannot legally use this model in a sexual/fetish manner?
I've included a screenshot of the character model so you can understand what I mean by how she does not resemble a 15 year old girl.
If this is in the wrong spot, let me know so I can fix it

I think you're really over-thinking this. By including a warning like that, you're sexualizing the character directly. Just drop the warning from both the submission and the icon and submit it as usual.

The problem is, I've seen a lot of people already draw this character inappropriately, some intentionally while some unintentionally and it ended up causing a big mess and a lot of banned accounts, so that's why I thought that if the warning was included, it would avoid that issue P:

We can’t be responsible for other people doing stupid things. We’re pressevong art, not moderating what the internet does with it. I get where you’re coming from but the concern really isn’t needed here. A warning isn’t going to stop someone who has ill intent anyway.

Basically, if someone uses the model inappropriately, it's not your problem nor your issue. You're not the perv, that idiot is.
Don't sweat it!

Thank you
My friend actually uploaded the models in question and I'm going to put it in a comment on that model now, so it's better then nothing
