Are the following type of images allowed on ShuuShuu? I was quite sure they aren't, but then I've seen some pictures involving them that weren't removed, so I ended up being rather confused. As the chat is always empty and I didn't find an exhaustive answer in the FAQs, I came here.

- Traps (if allowed, in which kind of pictures?)
- Blood/Injuries/Scratches/Scars (if allowed, in what amount?)
- Pantyshots (if allowed, from what angle are they considered not perverted?)
- Micro bikinis (if allowed, what makes one acceptable and the other not?)
Also, two or more characters who share the same pic and are extremely close to each other, when do they stop being acceptable?

Could one of the mods clarify this to me? It would be of much help desu~

traps are always allowed, as long as they really ARE traps
blood, injuries & the likes - small amounts. for instance - images like Yume Nikki, where Madotsuki carries a bloody knife are okay. Images where she stabs Masada - not okay. injuries - patches, bandaids are okay. if they have a liiiiiiitle amount of blood here and there on them - it's fine. if the character seems pretty injured and there's lots of blood, it's not okay to post it ;u;
panty shots are not allowed. if panties are visible here & there it's fine, as long as it's not too much. but if you know what a panty shot really is, then you should know when it's not okay XD
all in all, panties shouldn't be the main focus in an image, or it might be disabled :}

micro...bikinis...iiiiiiiiii have no idea XD

Pretty much what she said. We are less strict on swimsuits than panties, but they shouldn't be in your face. Panty creases are not okay. Over time we've gotten less strict. ;; Things are essentially judged on a case by case basis. If it makes us uncomfortable it's going down.

Thanks for the replies, RockRabbit & Yatchen.

Okay, reasonable, that's pretty much what I thought. Traps are love, very little blood, no violent pictures, no pantsu in your face, etc.
To make sure I got it, here's an example:
Okay:

I have two more questions.
1- Images where the female is wearing a super short skirt that leaves the legs completely bare but in which no panties are seen are fine, right? Such as these:

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1084210/
2- How about those pictures in which it's not clear if the girl is wearing panties or not? For instance, in case of babydolls or exotic clothes:

And regarding blood, what about this one? O_o

P.S: Sorry for the long post, but since there isn't a way to pass a picture through the mods' review before uploading it, this way I won't bother you again later on with the same old doubts.

yes, those are good examples
yes, those kind of images should be fine at least most of the time
about the exotic clothing and babydolls, can't say much about the first one, but as far as i know, babydolls are a type of lingerie, which is not allowed on shuu :}
and that's not blood on the cat~ xD
at least i don't think it is
Iso-kun knows what (not) to upload

They look like wings on that cat to me.

And yeah, to all of your questions, those images you posted are fine.

If you are worried about images not being okay before you post them you are free to PM a mod at any time. :)

Wait a minute. Lingerie is not allowed on ShuuShuu? Then why there are several pictures involving girls wearing frilly bras and panties, I wonder? They might be tagged as "bikini", but surely look like underwear, especially being under the clothes, with lots of ribbons, on the bed and with no beach or pool near them.

Noticing how the fabric looks different from a swimsuit's, it's quite obvious that she's not wearing a bikini.
It's much more difficult to be certain about a girl wearing a bikini or lingerie in such pics:

I've also randomly seen a girl wearing a striped grey undershirt and panties, but I failed at finding it again.

I've even encountered a naked apron picture.
http://e-shuushuu.net/image/162698/
If nudity is forbidden why is a ecchi panties-free image around?

As for sending PMs to the mods before posting a pic, I don't want to be the first ShuuShuu member who molests the mods, lol.

Naked aprons are not allowed. Disabled that.

Kiri may be wearing underwear; she may not. It certainly has enough frills and dressings to look like a bikini instead. Really, no one wears underwear with that kind of frilliness going on. And ribbons? That doesn't fit comfortably under clothing at all.
As for the other girl, it's not really clear what she is wearing. I wouldn't say it's either underwear or a bikini.

You would not be the first to PM the mods when you are unsure. We recommend it to all users. I field PMs about appropriate images often.

Yeah, thought that naked aprons were too much.

...I honestly have no idea of what bizarre bikinis and underwear you have seen in your life. XD In the world where I live it's absolutely normal to wear frilly underwear full of ribbons, it's one of the many types of the so-called "sexy lingerie" (a soft kind, yes, but still). It's not supposed to be comfortable. I have never seen, not once in my life, a female wearing a bikini with ribbons and frills at the beach or at the swimming pool. Such things happens only in anime and eroge, as far as I know. Therefore, when I see so many cute extras on bra and panties, I am logically certain that its purpose is not to be wore in public.

As for the PMs, well, if it's okay I might do it sometimes.

I have seen some pretty weird bikinis in my lifetime. Regardless, the image is remaining. It doesn't look like lingerie to me. Even the material looks thick like a bikini.

lol, that sounds somewhat creepy. Bikinis from another world~

In my universe the common bikini has this form:

I've never seen types like the Kiri one in any shop because, well, bikinis like that do not exist, at least where I live. I've only seen them wore by animanga characters. In fact, I've always wondered why they make swimsuits looking like lingerie. I mean, swimsuits with a few frills do exist and I've seen plenty of them, but that much... Really? Well, I guess they're only available in Japan.

Anyway, back on topic, as I said before, it is pretty hard to be certain of the nature of what a character is wearing, especially with the super girly costumes, so I can understand why the image is remaining.

...This really turned out as a discussion about underwear at the end.

Don't they all?

Still a newb, so..

Why is just girl images allowed? I saw some pictures of guys while on the random page. The timestamp was way back when, but why no more? Not that I mind.

Gah...
The "stealing". People do that on ZC and most of us don't mind. I respect you're site and understand it's far different from ZC, but I was just curious, yes.

Sorry. Please don't kill me.

Well it's just girls because the owner wants it to be so. He doesn't need to listen to the mass since it's not the mass who pays for Shuu, but Anony. You see any ads around? I don't see any.
At least that's my theory. I may be wrong.

Almost 7 years of Shuu huh...
