"Political Influence of Adult Sites" and "Free Speech Coalition" pressure.

If I can point out this announcement:
http://greenguysboard.com/board/showthread.php?t=28708

Sex Reloaded are linking to an instructional page from their paysites. The page uses graphics and simple directions to point out how to block content using your browser.

I think this is a great idea and a good one to throw into the mix here. We've discussed tags and encouraging use of nanny software but I forgot about the browser stuff.

As a paysite owner I think it's a cool idea. We already have a link to Netnanny on our front page, perhaps a link to similar instructions would also be good.

I also had a few brief negative thoughts about putting up a page like that:
1. Will such a page interfere with SE rankings (it's another "out" link)?
2. Will it distract the surfer and ruin a sale?
3. Would a link to such a page belong on the index splash page?
4. Is a paysite the best place to put this kind of info?
These may be the kinds of questions that paysite owners ask about this idea.

I realise this isn't necessarily a new idea - plenty of other paysites have put similar info on their warning pages. Although I suspect that's always been a link elsewhere (like Netnanny) rather than a set of specific instructions.

Would paysite owners be better off doing their own individual pages or linking to a standard one? The latter would save time. Perhaps it can be on the site where we host our "official statement".

And again, publicity is important, so it would help to say that "This page is a public service brought to you by the Adult Industry".

Just a few more brainstormy thoughts... Thanks to Sex Reloaded for their idea.

Personally, I'm a big believer in the KISS principle. We already have a valid html tag to use in "meta rating = "ADULT". Combined with providing linkage to a page like Sex Reloaded is using, those are definitely signs of making an effort.

Love Grandma's idea of 'Provided as a public service by the adult industry'...that's the kind of PR we could use

Getting the FSC to get the word out that we are taking action to assist certainly couldn't hurt either.
