There is a mistaken belief that because we're covering ''[[Doctor Who]]'', we are therefore, of necessity, a "safe for work" or "family friendly" site. However, we make no guarantee that the images and articles on this site will be 100% "safe for work". This is because the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] is not a 100% "safe for work" creation. People have sex in the DWU, which has been filmed somewhat graphically on occasion. People curse in the DWU — especially within the [[Virgin New Adventures]] series. We absolutely will not sweep this under the rug in the name of "family friendliness". | There is a mistaken belief that because we're covering ''[[Doctor Who]]'', we are therefore, of necessity, a "safe for work" or "family friendly" site.

Importantly, it is not possible to completely delete vandalism which occurs on this site. Many page histories contain objectionable language. The software underpinning this site really only allows us to ''hide'' vandalism. All users can find vandalism on pages that still exist, if they dig a bit. And deleting a page really only hides the page from users; it still exists in a way that's easily viewable by admin. And if the title itself contained "bad" language. it's possible for users to stumble across it in publicly viewable deletion logs. | |||
Thus we both cannot and will not ever be an ''abdolutely'' "safe for work", family-friendly website. In the words of former ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[script editor]], [[Douglas Adams]], we are at best "''mostly'' harmless". | |||

That said, we will not allow sexual or violent imagery which has nothing to do with the DWU. Not only are we not a free web host, we are definitely not a free web host ''for porn''. | That said, we will not allow sexual or violent imagery which has nothing to do with the DWU.
