Spankart himself now comments on WR:
QUOTE
Well, I see that it may look like we've given in to a bunch of outside critics who don't like our open discussion of topics such as spanking art, child spanking or spanking fetishism (or who don't like wikis, Wikipedia or Wikia in general), and who just rant, troll and make ridiculous and absurd accusations. From a strictly legal point of view, the new restrictive rule was not necessary. I never ever saw a single page in this wiki on which pedophilia, violence or child abuse was condoned or encouraged. Likewise, I never ever saw a page in this wiki on which the personality rights of a child were violated - though I'm not a lawyer, and you never know how a court would decide.
Anyway, as you may know, people who did not like our wiki have appealed to Wikia to shut it down completely, and I was privately contacted by Wikia staff the next day after they had discussed the issue in the team. Our modified image use policy is a compromize that will allow us to continue the wiki. For me, the solution is acceptable because I think the contemporary child photos were not of such great importance to this wiki - they can be replaced by drawings, paintings and vintage photos. If there is a particular photo you'd like me to restore, I can pixelate the face with Photoshop. We still have 1,184 images after the deletion of 74 contemporary child photos. And of course, the wiki is still and will always be "anybody can edit". Spankart 17:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

1. Having researched the issue, there is a big grey area around 'child erotica' i.e. stuff that is not explicent but obviously 'prurient'. This is why Yahoo and others shut down their previous website.
2. Still misses the point that large corporate advertisers have banners appearing on a 'child erotica' site.

I believe that IRS Form 1023‎ is engaging in behavior disruptive to this site and is becoming a serious problem. Aside from being clearly hostile to the basic premise of the Spanking Art Wikia, GFDL and Wikia in general he has attacked and insulted Roguebfl‎ on at least two occasions. I'd like to suggest an immediate and permanent block on this user to avoid an escalation of the present situation. Ciao, Blackshade9 03:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC).
I am generally not a friend of blocking disruptive users, but I agree in this case a block may be right, for the reasons you give. However I limited the block to two weeks. Spankart 12:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Blackshade is the 'artist' who produced the drawings on the 'panty shot' page
http://spankingart.wikia.com/wiki/Panty_shotThis is a page devoted to pictures of little girls with their skirts blown in the air, showing their panties.
His user page is here:
http://spankingart.wikia.com/wiki/User:Blackshade9which proudly displays a 10-year old girl showing her well-and-truly spanked bottom. Right. This is the 'open discussion of issues related to spanking' bit, is it?
