Been banned form that other ("omo") website

[vincp40]

Just in case someone starts missing me there, LOL... same avatar, slightly different nick

The site owner is quite active at the moment with cleansing his site... I knew something was brewing, he already made statements about any postings about material that was clearly not made for fetish purposes. He was about to delete certain topics completely, even very popular ones... that's what I saw coming. But banning me was not what I saw coming
99% of my postings were reactions. If I liked something I said so. Only once in a while started a topic myself.
Been a little too enthousiastic there bout Jessica Hull maybe... stopped posting about her there.
One other thing that I can think of was further back, a topic about sightings that I had of women wearing incontinence products under their pants.

Ah well. It's not the end of the world. And there are other webites

But it makes me wonder if it's "legal" to ban someone completely, not leaving the option of still visiting the site as an anonymous lurking guest.
I thought the Internet was free...

Anyway,
greetings Vincent

Omo.org has gone off the hinges, in my opinion. I understand the desire to have a strickt moderation, keep it polite, free of insults. I get it. There is a ridiculously long list of rules. It's also OK, I guess, but what really crosses a red line. If you read the newly updated rules. It says they reward members for reporting posts. That is a step too far. That is outright totalitarian!

You realize what freedom of speech is, once someone takes it away from you.

Just curious... to those who are still in there, is there anything left to be seen from this user, vincp44? Messages, profile... or it this "Drenched Member" totally erased from existance?
One thread where I always reacted was the infamous "Waiste Band Thread"

The profile still exists, but all content has been removed.

That means it is almost certainly still on their server, or in a backup file created for legal purposes.

I've had an account at omoorg for years, but I don't think I have ever contributed anything. I certainly never uploaded any images or videos, and I don't think I have ever started a thread. I may have participated in a couple threads several years ago. And I think maybe once I exchanged private messages with another user.

They have some really good classic videos from the golden age, particularly Wet in Public and Public Pissgirl.

Unfortunately, when it comes to websites and forums like omo org and WetSet, the site owner can do almost anything they want. The terms of service are what govern. You don't have much legal protection beyond that. Did they block your IP, so you can't even visit the site, even without logging in? You could try using a VPN.

I agree that they seem to have gone off the rails with some pretty extreme restrictions.

Recent legal affairs involving PornHub and the Telegram case in France have spooked a lot of adult sites. They are potentially under attack on three fronts: (1) Government agencies taking direct action if they find evidence of underage content or material that is obscene under local laws; (2) copyright takedown notices and lawsuits, including cases involving revenge porn, which can create substantial liability in some countries; and (3) financial institutions shutting down their payment processing if their compliance team finds anything that they think might be illegal.

Adult sites and their payment processors are in a risk-off mode right now.

In most western countries, the concept of freedom of speech refers to freedom from excessive government regulation on speech. On a privately owned website or forum, there is no freedom of speech. The owner gets to decide what's allowed.

Public Pissgirl? LOL... Exciting as those 3 sites may have been, they violated a lot of rules of decency and imposing. I can't imagine kyuu allowing that kind of content nowadays

Anyway, thanks for the update

Did they block your IP, so you can't even visit the site, even without logging in?

I guess so, yes. No entrance even at the home page.

You could try using a VPN.

Not sure how that works, I only know VPN from the connection that I have to the server of the company where I work.
I need to create my own VPN account, I guess?

Maybe not Public Pissgirl. They definitely still have a good collection from Wet in Public. And Snuppa, too.

Proton offers a free VPN and also a paid version. Both versions allow you to choose from a list of countries, including the USA, and they assign an IP address from that country. Another option is the TOR browser, which has a similar function built in. But TOR is less user friendly, and browsing is incredibly slow. Tor is built on Mozilla/Firefox, so the browser itself will be familiar, but the VPN function is a bit clumsy. I have not used it in a while. I use the free version of Proton from time to time.

Doesn't work for all sites. Apps like Proton have a finite pool of IP addresses that they can assign, even with the paid version. Some very aggressive website managers will block all the IP addresses used by the most popular VPN apps.

But I was able to log into the omo site while using Proton, and browse the site without logging in. But you need an account if you want to download anything.

Bonus: If you sign up for Proton, you also get a free Proton e-mail account.

Proton VPN is an application that you have to download and install on your PC. It is very safe and very respected in the IT community, including among hackers of both flavors. It does have some settings that you will want to control, like whether it launches on startup. You don't have to be a hacker or an IT professional to use it, but you do have to have some idea of what you are doing LOL

A VPN gives you a layer of anonymity. Some would call it IP spoofing. There's a little bit more to it than that. But it does indeed allow you to use a different IP address, so it makes it look like you are connecting to a website from somewhere else. So when I use an IP address in the Netherlands, for example, and I go to Google, the homepage is displayed in Dutch.

Some people use this to watch videos that are "not available in your country."

Damn, only just now I read the email I got from k prior to my banning. It's on my "adult" email address, that I don't check everyday... the email mentioned in what topic I said something wrong, and it looks like the whole thing was a warning... with I link I had to click "acknowledge this warning" before being able to post again.
Clicked the link, now let's see what happens.

Well, that's cool, I guess... Maybe she/he/they/it are being somewhat kinda almost maybe reasonable about the implementation of their completely ridiclous new rules

[aneike]

Yeah, that place is getting worse and worse. I tried to link to a tiktok recently, but my post didn't get approved. Next time I logged in there was the new rule you mentioned about content not made for fetish purposes. Luckily I didn't get banned, I probably posted just before they got the rule into writing.

Anyway, I think it's a bit upside down over there where the whole backlog of pirated videos from content creators is fine, but content publicly available are off limits. And don't even think about telling what your own eyes have seen as long as it involves any strangers.

I've also reported stuff before, but not after they went full cold war KGB and it almost feels like I'm the good guy by not reporting.

[vincp40]

So far, no good. Still banned after a week, zero reaction from the powers that be. Not by the "acknowledge" link, not by my reply email.
