My comic was banned on WEBTOON!

[ZatchZ]

Wait, so I can get banned for this?!

Thank you! I'll check it out!

I don't think you'll get banned, but bare butts, etc, might get your page temporarily removed due to Webtoons updating their policy on nudity. They changed part of their policy to this now: "Content that contains nudity or intended to be sexually gratifying is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, full and partial nudity, as well as graphic depictions of sexual acts."

Some of the pages they removed two weeks ago had partial nudity(not sexual, just transform scene) that WAS accepted under their old rules, but not the new ones. I censored them and they were allowed back. The pages that were removed last night had NO nudity at all, so I think they were the target of a user clicking the 'report' button.

I think the "sexually gratifying" is the key here. Take a look at "The sound of your heart" or "10th dimension boys". They are from South Korea, and there are Lot of naked, uncensored butts in there. But they are sexually ungratifying because in context, they are either pooping, farting, or caught in some pretty peculiar situation.

Also I don't get the rule for cursing. "Moon you" for whatever reason, has "fuck" uncensored right in the prologue.

BISH WHAT, HAVE you seen their featured poop? IF THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH CURSING EVERY PAGE-

Sorry about your comic, man. Hopefully you can get in contact with webtoon and upload your stuff to another site. Or at least censor the stuff deemed inappropriate

You can always utilize a platform like Patreon, Twitter, or DA to post more questionable pages, and just link your more nsfw Tapas pages offsite. I also like Smackjeeves as they allow for more nsfw content, and creative freedom so long as the comic isn't entirely hentai or sum'n like that. I do know Tapas is cracking down on their nsfw content, as they have a mobile app, and anything on mobile has to be sfw cause apple and AT&T are the monopolies that own everything and they don't allow nsfw. I know I'm not dampening my comic for a platform's arbitrary rules. Bring on the sex and gore, down with censorship! You do you!

PS: Also there's a comic hosting site called 'the Duck' that allows nsfw comics, though I have not personally used that one.

Now I'm worried XD
There were also many times when I applied for Ad revenue but kept being rejected for some unknown reason until I emailed them and they said there's nudity in my prologue.
It was partial nudity with a censor on the front (guy), but I guess visible butt dimples are a no no for them lol
I got approved after I edited it lol

In my new chapter tho, partial nudity too (girl). Tho the boob shape is visible but with something to cover the nips. But still worried it might get reported or something

[gempompadour]

Oh no, I have jokes about eating shit and am planning on using the word f*ck. Should I censor it? How hard does Webtoon come down on violence and blood? While there will be some human blood in in my comic, it's gonna have lots of demon blood. It's purple in color, so I wonder if that will help?

[BobbyjoeX]

my one character swears like a truck driver and it hasnt nailed me yet XD... but then again, i dont actually have ad rev going there

[sadghost]

Damn, that makes me worry for my series then.

Not that is available to ad revenue (the 40k monthy views seems impossible to me), mine does have some ecchi stuff, but i try to censor or all the sex stuff to be censored or only show on patreon.

[Hinata]

I think LW is more strict on webtoons that are included for ad revenue program. Based on what I've read in some forums, some comics with sex stuff (as long as censored properly) are still doing fine XD (just as long as it's not being reported by anyone)
