Viewing loli and shota posts has required either trusted-user status or a donation for a very long time. Note that the forum post doesn't say why they're locked, which I take as an indication that the matter is not open to debate.

Personally, I support that policy on the grounds that although loli/shota content isn't completely unwelcome here, this site is not meant to be a lolibooru. If they allowed unrestricted loli/shota posts, the place would be overrun by lolicons. Gatekeeping loli/shota content helps ensure that the lolicon community around here is at least somewhat accountable.

Being an ethical lolicon requires walking a very narrow line - I don't believe that perusing and appreciating artistic depictions of that sort is unethical, but never forget they're depictions of something that would be grossly unethical and highly illegal if real children were involved in any way. Never forget the difference between fiction and reality, because that is the difference between enjoying yourself and a well-deserved ride in the party van.

And here I'm, with my platinum account just because I wanted to search images with more than 3 (?) tags also to support this amazing website, but I really like the way you're putting the use of a "paywall", Mithiwithi.

Gold gives you 4 tags to search for.
