New Blogger Policy On March 23rd, Blogger will no longer allow certain sexually explicit content.

Rather than try to explain things, I'll just copy the e-mail here that I got.

///////////////////////////////////////////////

Dear Blogger User,

We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.

In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.

The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content we've made private.

Our records indicate that your account may be affected by this policy change. Please refrain from creating new content that would violate this policy. Also, we ask that you make any necessary changes to your existing blog to comply as soon as possible, so that you won't experience any interruptions in service. You may also choose to create an archive of your content via Google Takeout (https://www.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/blogger).

For more information, please read here (https://support.google.com/blogger?p=policy_update).

Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

I'll start removing screenshots that would be considered questionable soon, but not sure If this blog will be affected. If not, I'll be fine with letting it go. Updates on my mods can still be found by regularly checking the neverwinter vault page.

  1. If you remove the pics, you should be fine. Unless they already decided to take it down. (There is a lot of blogs for them to go through)

  2. OK I've looked around and removed any screenshots with nudity.

  3. Question on the ending of the game (avoiding spoilers here). You beat the thing that does the thing to your thing then the game just... ends abruptly? Is this correct or just unfinished?

    1. Yes, the end is the end currently. I know it's terrible and I plan to make more endings in time.

  4. I still don't understand why they want to ban nudity. If there were graphic violent pictures being posted, would they get taken down too? Just don't get the hubbub over seeing some nudity. Especially since you are WARNED in the first place that adult content might be in the blog. Oh well.

    I liked the new additions to your mod. Thanks for pointing out the cobbler and the guy in the red suit at the secret hideout. Would have missed both of them otherwise. Do you intend on making the Red Smoke thing available in the game later? I know the addicts in the slums are asking me about it. Or is it around now and I just haven't found it yet?

    Looking around..I also saw a "Mysterious Figure". Is he going to be developed further? Right now I can't get him to talk to me.

    Thanks again for continuing to work on this! Really do enjoy what I've played so far.

    1. There's no way to acquire Red Smoke currently, but that doesn't mean it won't be in the future.
