As the ShinyPorn community continues to grow we are receiving more reporting, along with users contacting the Mods directly, due to their frustration that a post title has identified a type of shiny material that doesn’t feature in the submitted content.

For example a title of “My favourite latex dress” with an image of a dress made from PVC.

People will always incorrectly identify shiny materials. These accidents have perhaps been exacerbated recently by huge international fashion brands calling clothing latex, when it is not made from that material.

However, it is not practical to try and moderate every submitted post to precisely identify each shiny material.

This is also Shinyporn, not specifically Shinylatex, so as long as the content is shiny (and follows the rest of our rules) the post will be allowed.

If you see a post that has frustrated you because of mislabeled material, you are welcome to try and educate that individual yourself with a nice, informative and polite comment about difference between the types of shiny material.

Mods also keep an eye on individual users who consistently post irrelevant content, and if it becomes clear to us somebody is frequently and wilfully mislabeling posts, then we may step in privately to educate and warn them.

TLDR: Shiny materials can sometimes be incorrectly identified. This is not against our rules.
