Question on specifics of NSFW and ToU "obscenity"

Related: [url]http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76127831[/url] After the locking of the above thread, Foman encouraged us to make a new thread that called to question the specifics on what we should and should not consider objectionable content under NSFW. While such matters will always have a gray area, the rules are largely useless in aiding those who are confused as to what content would be considered obscene in the workplace. Obscenity itself can mean many things, it is a matter of ethics and is often backed by law, and in certain countries it can related to speech, adult films, or even the dress of certain people (ie: Burqas). It is too much to ask for every single objectionable content to be listed; however, a guideline on another side or perhaps the laws and court rulings of a specific state or region may be helpful. Much is questionable, because in certain areas adult films may be obscene, and in others they are perfectly legal. Recently, the rules and even the Code of Conduct have been heavily simplified in a move to make them more readable. However, this move ultimately made it much more difficult for users who wish to post questionable material and are unsure whether it would be in accordance with the rules. While adult pictures and films are specified by the moderation team as unfit, I am confused as to what standard, or perhaps what workplace in NSFW, this stems from. I conclude this a layover question for Atomic Tea, sorry to waste space, but the previous thread was locked.[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Atomic Tea 2: Nudity (exposed skin, since you want me to be ultra-specific) falls under the "What is safe, and not safe for work" category. It doesn't matter what your place of employment is. Bungie.net has members that are under the age of 18, and thus you cannot post that kind of material, even if it is considered "safe" in your line of work. Why? Because it violates U.S. law and thus the Bungie Code of Conduct.[/quote] We're talking about adult materials, not nudity in the workplace, right? I am unfamiliar with a law that prohibits viewing adult film in the workplace, or the viewing of adult films by someone under the age of 18 (not to be confused with adult films depicting someone under the age of 18). Could you tell me which federal laws these are? I would like to know. [Edited on 12.02.2012 6:43 PM PST]
