   Idol Complex, a version of Sankaku Channel specifically for idol and cosplay related content, is nearing launch.

   However, prior to making the site public the issue of what content to allow and how to structure the rating system must be tackled.

   Given the already liberal nature of the site and an explicit desire for lots of visitors, the current inclination is to allow sexually explicit material, not just chaste idols and cosplay.

   Allowing nudes would practically be a given if the site were to include "unsafe" content. Whether to allow sex or "mild" fetish material (such as shibari or pregnancy) is a more nuanced issue however.

   There are of course also strict legal and ethical limits when dealing with photographic material which are not open to discussion - underage material or extreme fetish material is most definitely out, whatever the specific legality of such material.

   This is one draft under consideration:

   Definitely acceptable:

   1. Idols

   2. Quality cosplay of all kinds

   3. Non-Asian cosplay, or non-Asian “idol” or “gravure” material

   Pictures of males are acceptable if they fit the spirit of the above categories.

   Possibly acceptable:

   1. Mild or incidental fetish material
   2. “Quality” cosplay
   3. Photoshopped “fakes” (high quality and clearly marked only)

   Definitely unacceptable:

   1. Underage material:
   This includes “junior idols” or similar. Cosplaying minors are acceptable. When in doubt – NO.

   2. “Obscene” material:
   This includes extreme fetishes such as bestiality, coprophagia, etc.

   3. Low quality images:
   Heavily compressed images
   Images which are of decidedly little merit with no redeeming qualities
   Deliberately small images or “amateur” images taken with low quality cameras are acceptable

   4. Images watermarked by a third party or subjected to a “macro” or otherwise

   Ratings:

   Safe:
   Anything fully clothed and decent

   Questionable:
   Nudity
   Highly revealing clothing or suggestive posing
   Topless posing
   “Hair nudes”

   Explicit:
   Sex
   Fetishes
   Genitalia in detail (whether censored or not)

   Comments are invited.

   The site is now open in what we'll call beta mode (it is wholly feature complete), and has been mass populated to prime the pump:

   Please feel free to take a look around and upload images.

   Wondering, would the site allow cosplayers themselves to register? Or would it be completely third person? Won't there be issues with image theft etc.? And asking for permission from the cosplayers themselves?

   The complications are endless.

   The content is entirely user submitted, just as on Sankaku Channel or any other "image board" style site. If a copyright holder submits a complaint about something a user has uploaded, then it would be removed.

   ''weird German fetishes!''

   Tyvm, made my day.

   I'd go for idols + nudes, and cosplay safe. But since that isn't an option, I won't really care for a ''nude'' cosplay now and then. If nude cosplay would still be cosplay of course.

   I think ero-cosplay is pretty much essential...

   When I saw the title of the thread, I was under the impression that this was a regular forum user's initiative to create a thread full of cosplay images. But now that I've read through the OP and realize it's not, I have to say I'm quite excited about this.

   Hmm... The poll is a difficult one... I voted "safe", although I think mild fetish material is probably okay, too. I'm a little confused as to what "nude" cosplay is, though. If the cosplayer is naked, would it still be considered cosplay? I'm not too interested in images in which the costume is simply in a puddle on the floor or hung over a fence. I can really appreciate high quality cosplay which is modelled nicely, but it loses all of its appeal to me when the costume gets next to no attention anymore.

   Another thing I'm a little unsure about is what is meant by "quality" cosplay and why it's categorized as "possibly acceptable". Especially since "quality cosplay of all kinds" is listed under definitely acceptable. A little clarification would be useful.

   Otherwise, I'm very impressed and enthusiastic about Idol Complex! I'm really eagerly anticipating its launch.

   I like the idea of nude pictures, sex would dumb it down and I'm not a huge fan of BDSM so I voted for the second option.

   So I'm with Artefact when I say Ero-cosplay is essential.

   So, nude cosplay = ero-cosplay =). It's still somewhat vague for me, but the only thing left is to patiently wait for the launch.
   Who knows in due time, I might come too like the ero-cosplay. Depending on the ''art'' of the individual pictures. But that's where the /quality/ part comes smiling around the corner. Fingers crossed.

    I hastily voted for mild fetishes, but after rereading that it would include pregnancy, I'm a little regretful...

    The line ,I think, should be drawn at mild fetishes. It doesn't seem appropriate to have pictures of cosplay idols mixed in with pictures of JAV idols imho.

    Now, I'm going to think about changing my vote.

    I was tempted to vote for the last one. I wouldn't mind the weird german fetishes but I don't want any trashy american porn.

    Also, when you say "photoshopped fakes" are you talking about the types of pics that have one person's face shopped onto another person's body? If that's the case then I don't think those should be allowed.

    Girls with excessive makeup/eyeliner is where I draw the proverbial line. I tend to like German fetishes and such though.

    All fetish material OK for me :D (and no normalfag american porn, ugh! ;P). Very excited to see moar 3D cosplay pics instead of boring 2ch goddesses. What I don't want to see is muscular hairy men.

    I say keep nudes out. Soon it'll get flooded with ladyboy porn.

    Gravure cosplaying should be fine though.

    @Darkmind - But what if he's cosplaying Solid Snake? And it's WIN?

    Well if you take an epic character then "everyone is gay for"-rule comes into effect, so yes, maybe.
    But only if he is oiled enough!
    And yes traps indeed would be nice, but you could have their own section for them.

    Heh. Alas, I guess it will be mild fetish. The draft Artefact posted seems sound.

    BTW, what is considered mild fetish? Bondage? Sadomaso with whips and candles? Where is the cut?
