Nudity in Avatars....

Your 8 year old son probably should not be on a website, whos major focus is anabolic steroids....I would not allow my 8 old son to go on a site such as this..

If you browse at work or a family home, then you should know that this site may contain pics AND language of a graphic nature and maybe you should not go on when the family or your boss is looking over your shoulder. Just being on this site at most places of work (nudity or not) can get you in some trouble.

Do you think some of the language or a shitty finger should be on this site?? I mean what if I am at work and my boss sees the word "fuck" on the screen...do you think his or her reaction will be any different than a chicks ass or tit?? I doubt it. If we censor the nudity (mostly partial), where does the censorship end?? Should handles be changed so they do not possibly offend someone or topics of a mildly sexual nature be banned? Or should you just continue to make up new rules as we go along depending on how a mod feels that day. People who are offended by anything on this site (nudity, language, roids, etc, etc) are probably not the members you want or the members who will buy G. Spellwin's "How to get Laid" or "Secrets of Buying Steroids" books....Do you get my point.

What is common sense to you is not common sense to everyone else. What you consider offensive, others do not. Some people may let there 8 year old son look at something you may consider inappropraite. So, since George Spellwin owns the site, he should create well thought out, specific rules that everyone must comply with. Some mods do not have a problem with certain types of nudity-others do. You are a mod, you are supposed to monitor the boards by rules G. Spellwin has created for his website. The only problem is that they are not available (if there are any) or hidden from the members. Kinda makes it hard to follow when they change from day to day or mod to mod.

So when a mod PM's you about the inappropraite avatar you have had for three weeks--it kinda is frustrating because there is nothing that specifically states what is allowed and what isn't and the fact that several other mods were ok with the avatar makes it even more confusing. If one mod posts a rule, does that mean all mods now have to follow it?? G. Spellwin should be posting updated rules--not mods. :coffee:

...OWNED... :sulk:

That Comment is directed at shadow in relation to your post.


Now that I have educated myself via the urban dictionary, I understand....I just found out what the word Juan means...thanks for the link...
 
Since we as a group backed off a bit from the OB-GYN stuff, I haven't been bothered. I'm only making this post because I was asked to speak up. I'm not going to try to attach names to comments here, so when I say "You," it's in the sense of "you know who you are."

OUT: Exposed genitalia or excretory orifices, penetration, or ejection of material.
IN: Anything you'd wear (or see) at a competition or on a public beach. That means that toplessness should not be a big deal, but let's see a pic that didn't require a macro lens to focus from six inches away, m'kay?

An avatar's supposed to say something unique about you. What does yours say? If it says "I like naked chicks," well, DUH!

You're right, this isn't a site for eight year olds. But as noted in that sticky, we're not carding people at the door either, and don't want to start.

Some images that would be perfectly fine in Between the Sheets don't work that well in Chat -- and Chat isn't Scatology. (Someone joked about creating a Scat forum. It didn't go over with the owner. I didn't say a word; I didn't have to.) Your av goes everywhere you go. Yes, that does mean it should be acceptable in the most public, least adult forum we have. (That would be Chat, in case you're taking notes.) (Same thing with sigs, by the way.)

No, I don't want to make a hard rule and then watch people try to "game" it. I'd rather see that creativity going into new and interesting threads. Great line from Garrison Keilor: "Comfort makes you stupid." I'm not here to make you comfortable. I'm here to challenge you.

The F-word used to be an automatic "R" in the movies. Using it in a post doesn't strike me as the same as plastering it up in your av in half-inch yellow letters for no damn reason (Hi, FF!). Or having the fickle finger of fate in ASCII art as your sig, for that matter. I like to save my swearing and rude gestures for times when they are particularly appropriate. That's not one of the Ten Commandments; that's an invitation to open up a discussion.

The brown finger av? I had words with Tuc about that. Goes to show you that the mods and admins are not a hive mind; we have differences of opinion too. I hope that we err on the side of "being reasonable," whatever that may mean. "Being reasonable" doesn't mean "anything goes."

There's a difference between "acting like a grownup" and "acting like a 19-year-old who got his hands on his big brother's driver's license."

The guy who pointed out the "Boobs! Butts! Bikinis!" banner ad -- you got us. The boobs and butts ARE wearing bikinis, though.
