To put this in more sensible terms: what is the line and how did it move? I don't really care much about girlie pics or mod decisions but it seems as if something has changed and it'd be nice if we could know about it.
Otherwise, this is just going to escalate further. Someone's going to get banned, more people are going to get ticked and all over something silly and miniscule. It all could be avoided with some transparency and clarity. SI

You really don't get the point. The problem is with inconsistent modding for no apparent reason. No one is complaining that we can't post naked women. |

There's never been a defined line (aside from the obvious no pornography rule, which has been around forever). It's been made very clear there never WILL be a defined line (which I actually concur with Ben on that point). Last couple of days, it's just been entirely random and inexplicable, with things being mysteriously deleted that aren't even close to borderline. And the predictable uproar occurs.

Like I said, if they violate the terms of service, I have no problems with them getting deleted. If they are violating someones internal morals, they can go suck a dick while flying a kite in an electrical storm.

CW, That's definitely an excellent point (about the defined line). I'm not even looking for that, really- do I care what gets girlie pics deleted? No. But if we're going to be more stringent about it, just let people know.
I just want to avoid the inevitable boxing, banning, hurt feelings, and people leaving FOFC that could be easily avoided. SI

Meh, we haven't had a good boxing in awhile. These things need to happen every so often to get rid of the bad blood. Someone takes a long vacation, nobody knows where, and we deal with the heat.

This. It is the thread for cool images, not "hawt chix." And it's not up for debate.

Two suspensions: KSyrup for the kiddie feces post, and Dangarion for continual douchebaggery in posting over and over and over and over.

WTF? There are many posters who post nothing but shit all day long and they don't get put in the box...
Now I can't PM Ksyrup about softball. This place sucks.

All of this will only make sense if they delete all of the spider pictures.

My question is, WTF caused all of this BS to happen? This thread has been fine for a long time and then a mod decides to start deleting shit without any explanation like a flaming asshole.
What gives?

If so, then it's apparent that whatever mod is deleting the pictures, is wielding his/her delete button like how the Greatest American Hero lost the manual on how to properly use his suit.

Well I thought Ksyrup at least had a large amount of non-lady pictures deleted, I could have been mistaken.

One day everything is fine and your walking down the street doing what you have always done the next minute someone trips you. You get up and complain about it, and are promptly arrested for causing problems. Thats pretty fucked up.

No, everyday you walk down the street flicking everyone who walks by in the ear, but it's just a little flick so you think it's ok, then one day someone gets tired of it and punches you in the face and you piss yourself and sit on the sidewalk throwing a temper tantrum.

Have you not been laid lately or something, Suicane? You're one of the last dudes I thought would be acting like a frigid schoolmarm about this ish.

I'm not frigid. I love vaginas and buttholes and things being put into them, all sorts of things. I also have a sense of decorum and respect for other people. I know there aren't a lot of women on here, I know there are a lot less than there used to be. At some point this place became overrun with dick waving and general vulgarity that doesn't offend my senses in the slightest, but does seem like it doesn't take posters who may not wanna be bombarded with that shit into consideration.
But more than all that, I hate when people bitch about shit but don't do a fucking thing about it. And maybe I just have sand in my vagina. |

You all are reading way more into this than is really there. But I guess that is why tinfoil hats exist.
1. Most of the mods rarely visit this thread. One of the times we do is when a post is reported. We may take action on that post. If we are randomly viewing the thread, and we see something that catches our eyes, we may take action. 2. The Board has long had a general standard of not behaving like an asshat. Pretty easy judgment to make of when an asshat alarm goes off. 3. If this leads to inconsistent modding, oh well. Sometimes you get a speeding ticket for going 8 mph over the limit and sometimes you don't for going 95 in a 55. We're mostly adults here (maybe all), and if you can't behave yourself on your own, you're probably not going to get much sympathy from any of the mods. 4 Finally, we're talking about pictures grabbed from other sites on the internet. Hard for me (speaking personally and not for other mods) to grasp the emotional attachment some seem to have in defending their "right" to post those. 5. What Suicane said. |

But this quote is silly. So it's not the images that are in question, but rather that the photos do not fit with someone's definition of the thread's theme. You are saying that the photos you deleted would be OK in a Hot or Not poll, but are not OK in the Cool Images thread. Correct? That is a brand new rule that we have not been made aware. This makes it sound like one of two things happened: (1) someone got busted for perusing the thread at work or at home and complained to a mod for their troubles; or (2) the person that got busted was a mod and they decided to exorcise the demons by blaming the crowd. This forum ceased long ago being being a FOF board and became a general interest board. It's merely for fun. There's really no use in complaining because without the arbitrary, whimsical and oversensitive moderation, there's probably no board at all. |

With Suicane here. Perhaps this is unfair and what not, but it sounds like many people in this thread are whining just to whine.
This is not a big deal, get over it. |
