This is just.........

[Damien]

Alright, let this chill in Completely OT for it to get input then transfer it to Stress Release. I know peepes go there, but ya know....

What the f*ck is going on? And who and how old are these people that are asking to close that thread on the pretty ladies? If you mods see no problem there, why bow down before 2 out of the (I forget how many) at least thousands of people there actually are on AF!?! 13 year-olds I see more than that at school sometimes! The worst pic I saw was that Latino Asian chic (must add that she was just extremely...I'll stop) and that wasn't removed at first but Taz's was? I'm not attacking you Hummer (since you didn't remove it) or "The Professor"(didn't catch s/n 'cause I've never seen them before) but that just shocked me?

Now for repeated questions. Can a mod remove another mods post because, sorry Mr. T, but his post with the naked women playing volleyball with their tits was like 5 times worse than those other pics! And the one Mr. T posted was animated! Also his sig is bad, but I don't care about it. I'm just throwing in comparisons. I just find this so puzzling?

I've read enough anger threads that people always say anonymous things and don't say who they are talking about. As you can see, I have. I'll come from behind the curtain to say, I've seen 10 times worse on here than that thread and the mooning one! I asked questions I now think should be removed if Taz's pic was!

Thank you and mods, do put this where you think best. I wish Completely OT though!

I'm with you on this,Damien,but my sympathies go to Hunmerman.It was never going to be an easy thread to manage,as one persons'glamour is another persons porn.

Sad that the people who are claiming the moral high ground don't have the backbone to stand up in public for what they believe in.

and as regards the animated vollyeyball gif....it's a cartoon for God's sake.I know that you can get some pretty graphic anime without having to look too far,but let's face it,that one's tame.

[DVSNCYNIKL]

This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to allow these threads to exist. But I will hold off on responding till later.

[Damien]

I know Mr. T! Like I said, I didn't care, I was just comparing.

DVS, it seems like you would be the first registered member. Not to diss any other mods, all of you do check "Introductions" and post something to the newbies, but DVS seems to be the one always posting warnings and closing threads for good reasons pretty much. Here I disagreed, but I was just mad at the anonymous people. DVS just seems like the head mod here. Also, I've seen Mr. T stop threads that got outta hand fast.

Just thought that when I read DVS's last post in that thread.

Well, maybe I should be working, but I'm not. So, I use my work computer to access AF. Personally, I'd really rather not have images like that one show up in a thread. I know it's only a cartoon, but my company has this thing about "viewing material unsuitable for the workplace" or some such rubbish. If it's tastefull pics of ladies, no problem, but as soon as any kind of nudity is involved, it could mean my job... (I've asked my HR rep about this).

So, when I see something like that, I immediatly clear my cache, etc., and I think that my chances of "getting busted" or whatever are pretty slim. However, I'd prefer not to download it to my hard-drive in the first place...

Just my two cents, and I'm not asking for any policy change within AF or anything, I just wanted to let my opinion be known.

[Heep]

Well, I was opposed to the whole thread for this reason. I can't stand the week long bitching from all the whiners after the thread has been closed. Hummerman received PM's regarding the content of the thread, you can't keep everybody happy. Also with these threads, one-upmanship is prevalent. One bikini pic turns into a smaller bikini, then a bikini coming off, and so on and so forth. I'm not opposed to nudity, and yes, 13 year olds can see a whole lot more if they really want to...my main concern is this...I don't want AF the be the place they find this nudity. I don't want his parents finding out that this so called "family site" is showing their kid near-porn. I have no opposition to nudity myself, but there is a place for it, and, like it or not, it's not here, so stop bitching before you get everyone pissed.

[replicant_008]

I guess I'm with Heep and Ci5ic on this one... Alternatively, you can have the wild west which is fine. But then you end up with the kind of senseless crap and abuse on other sites that made me wander thru here in the first place... if you want to see what I mean have a look at the email forum on XTRA Motoring off www.xtra.co.nz - that stuff is just nasty...

Alright, I didn't know how long it's been closed first of all. Second of all, nudity? Where is that? You could go to a Christian beach and see the samething, except there is the possibilty of one pieces. I just read another thread about Terminal Velocity and it seems there are a lot of opinions about AF finally revealing. I see you used "" around family site. What's that mean? If that's the representation you are showing, why are you telling a 15 year-old to stop, "female-dogging" about it?

I totally sympathize wfor P-man and the accuasations and PM's sent to him. But it was two people!!!

Heep, thanks for the idea!

These are my feelings exactly (and my situation too).

I don't have a problem with nudity or porn, I just don't think a car forum is the place.

[Heep]

Second of all, nudity? Where is that?

There was none, as it would have been immediatly removed and the offender warned or banned if it was a repeat. I simply used the term nudity when I was saying it doesn't bother me to show that bikini pictures bother me even less. However, when you get a skimpy bottom that's halfway off, one-upmanship demands that the next picture have it fully off....

I see you used "" around family site. What's that mean?

I mean it's supposed to be a family site, although some of the pictures take away from that reputation.

If that's the representation you are showing, why are you telling a 15 year-old to stop, "female-dogging" about it?

I'm sorry, can you rephrase that, I don't quite understand what you mean.

Alright, just for the record, there was no nudity or porno so peepes, stop saying there was. Understand ya Heep, but the main ordeal was the major difference in Taz's pic (removed first time) and that Latino Asian chic(never removed yet far worse).

2nd part, pictures, language and other things take away from it? Alright, understandable.

Last, Webster's defines bitch as a female dog and you tell me to stop "female dogging" it on what seems to be a site trying to be a family site, but isn't excelling due "porno" pics. Understand?

For the record, I understand why the thread was close, if more peole complained. It just bugs me for two people's complaints it was closed!

Now, either this was made up, but I sw a member that was...at least older than 60 maybe even 70! When the complaints were anonymous, this person popped into my head. Just thought I would throw that in.

[primera man]

I go with DVS on this one. I too have said all along that these type of threads should not be allowed here at AF due to what is now happening. If you want to look at porn...go somewhere else to veiw it.
As soon as a thread like this starts it just asks for trouble because what one person things is OK in not for another.
I love porn just as much as the next person, but theres a time and place and AF is not one of them.

- I'm over it now but it did piss me off that the mod that deleted my post did so with NO AUTHORITY to do so.

Hummerman was supposed to be regulating it and that is why I got upset.

I totally agree! But I do believe this is the wrong thread to talk about porn P-man!

*see my last post*

DVS, how long is later?
