Hi Ken and everyone else. So I am a fan of free talk and varied options. What I am not a fan of inappropriate content in public. Yes as Ken said if you can not say it to your Grandma you might not want to say it in a pod cast.
The title of our platform is hacker public radio. There is nothing sexual in the in the title. So it might not be appropriate to talk about sex topics based on our platform name. A talk about sex technology or medicine might be ok and even enjoyable. As we went through last time if you attack something in your podcast or violate laws in your podcast no that does not work either. In May I am going down to the basement a raspberry pi will work with a 1980s serial terminal and do things on the internet. There will be a few podcasts about this. Those podcasts will not have sex or criminal acts or things your Grandma might not like in them. Our community should strive for podcasts like this. Take care and be safe JWP On Sat, 18 Feb 2023, 16:04 Ken Fallon, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > There is the long standing policy on HPR about moderation > <https://hackerpublicradio.org/stuff_you_need_to_know.php#not_moderated> > saying "*We do not vet, edit, moderate or in any way censor any of the > audio you submit**, we trust you to do that*".
