That's pretty Explicit

I'm not trying to argue with you. I think the image is mostly harmless, and am just looking for a second opinion.

We had a "tits or gtfo' avatar in =10 for over a month. (also harmless)

I also happen to think that an image depicting a stick figure fapping with any stick figure naughty parts covered thats 3 clicks away from someone in a pg forum is somewhat less harmful than the alcohol glorification avatars which pass muster.

Accepted.

That's cool. If nothing else I want to thank you for taking the time to PM me on the subject.

An idea for PG/PG13 images: allow people to set their image bank to private, similar to journals. (R and X should still get banned)

Or, instead of greenlight/redlight, certain images can be flagged as postable in one forum but not another.

but who posts here that's honestly under 13? i think they'd get spotted and told to leave right quick

I just wanted a second opinion. I got told in a second and third opinion to GFM and shut up about it. I think a lot of us are still trying to navigate the gray area, that's all.

Karma whining is retarded because it usually doesn't make any difference. It's retarded for other reasons as well but that's good enough to heap scorn on it.

Images are still tricky. If it disappears, you don't know if it was because of an admin or a Report clicker. If it was part of your post, you don't know if you can restore it or even if it will be restored. And images seem to be more closely monitored than text or even avatars. So it's easy enough to put up an image, get it yanked by an admin and be totally in the dark about why. My classic example being the Mindel X-Ray Specs ad. If I had written a post and included the word "Zionist", I'd be floored to see an admin edit my post to remove the word. So I certainly didn't expect to see an image removed because it had the same word in it.

Basically, it's still unclear exactly what the rules are. I doubt the admins themselves know yet in any crystal manner and are playing it on the side of caution rather than let someone post offensive material and say "But you let THIS one go!"

that's true, i guess but still, kids are gonna get exposed to it at school anyway



me too.... O.o

i posted that wierd, thinking that we were discussing swearing again, allow me to alter my answer:

they're gonna see it if they watch tv(what kid doesn't) there is no protecting kids from it, not in this day and age, maybe little kids, but they're to young to grasp the concept or be really bothered by it.

i was a little kid not to long ago, you can't tell someone who's seen it through personal experience that it's not true, because you know, most kids know what sex is by the time their 8-9(i know i did...)

i understand the need to be respectable, sure, but still, it shouldn't be for the reason of "some posters may have kids that see the pictures" because that's just stupid, end of story.
