'Adult' content - is this allowed?

    So I have a website I would like to put in coop. But based on the rules I figured it would be wise to clear up what is considered 'adult' content.

    The site in question is http://makeashorterlink.com/?X2E0625CA

    There is no nudity on the site. Girls and boys in lingerie is the worst it gets.

    Is this allowed in coop? I've purposely masked the url as I don't really want it in the forums. But it is a str1pper website.

    Even though there is no nudity, the site's theme would be classified as adult.

    The line is grey and hazy, I was also wanting to do a lingerie website...would this be considered adult? Even if there were NO pictures at all (of women in the items, just the items themselves).

    There are several lingerie sites in the coop, I guess it would be ok.

    The original suggested site is an adult site and I don't see it being allowed. The suggestive nature might be what makes it adult.

    As far as lingerie, as long as there isn't nudity it will most likely be accepted. I certainly have no problem with it and I believe Summer uses the Coop for her lingerie site.

    Assuming I just put the site in for the editors to decide could this get me banned?

    I'm aware of the rules but they seem blurry/unclear (I suppose it's site to site).

    I don't want to do anything to jepordise my account, I just want what everyone wants :)

    What part of "the site's theme would be classified as adult" don't you understand???

    I have some sites in the network targeted at young people. I don't mind linking to a site with clothes, but I sure don't want any stripper sites near mine.

    Understandably I want a offical line on it :) I'm sure your right but I'm keen to establish which sites I'm wasting my time with.

    If your site was a storefront on Broadway with live girls you would likely have to hang a sign of "Nobody under 18 allowed" at the entrance. Does that make it adult?

    Don'T be silly.

    If it could involve a jar of vaseline and locking the door to keep mom out, it's not appropriate for this network.
