Are pornographic sprays an offense? I've seen posts indicating they are not, however this seems counter to the rules (and law):

Rules indicate:

"Sprays that are illegal as per the laws in the country where the server is located."

TF2 2Fort NY1 and NY2 are located in New Jersey, per new Jersey code:

Code: 
2C:34-3. Obscenity for persons under 18

From other thread:
"(2) A person who knowingly shows an obscene film to a person under 18 years of age with the knowledge or purpose to arouse, gratify or stimulate himself or another is guilty of a crime of the third degree if the person showing the obscene film is at least four years older than the person under 18 years of age viewing the film."
This is what you're looking for to have some point.
But it's invalid anyway because it's not knowingly being show to a minor.
 
Nice necro bump btw, but last I checked tf2 was an M rated game. And there's a law or something that says no company or third party group is responible of online interactions if people who are playing a game are younger than it's esrb rating.
Parents buy their six year old GTA, kid sees boobs, parents are responsible for it, not the company or in that matter a game server host. Can't really think of a better way to explain it.
 
What Styx said. We don't ask you for your age. Game is rated M anyways. Also, online interactions aren't rated by ESRB and we're not liable. It would be a different story if we made a website like skialforkids.com and have ponies on the front, but then when you enter, boobs, but it's not, so don't just copy and paste something you didn't even fully read because you can't take porn sprays.

Also, notice the rules we even say country, not state laws.
 
The game is rated M for mature. 18+. its not our problem if kids get on. porn sprays are allowed
 
As a further note this, in terms of internet porn none of the existing federal laws apply since COPA is for commercial distribution, CIPA is for libraries, and the 18 U.S.C. 2257 code just relates to child porn (actors being at least 18), which we do enforce.
