...and it smells

That's putting it, er, mildly!

This mysterious new 'moderator' who had suddenly appeared from nowhere and not even introduced themselves with a post won't even let Tom change the title of his own thread!

Steve did post his opinions on the subject, after which you started a childish "war on censorship". I think you might find that when you were joining the forum there were a few rules you were supposed to read, and these included "no pornographic/erotic images" or something similar. Why didn't you decide to leave then? This is a moderated forum, privately owned and hosted, for which you are not paying, unless I have been misinformed. And so if the moderator says something, you may think it's silly, but it's their decision and if you don't like it... well there's always some other forums around. Myself I'm not offended with nudity ("I don't see what's so shocking about a breast" (c) Angelina Jolie) but that doesn't mean it has to be *everywhere*.

And I agree with Hmmm: this is NOT a gay chat forum.

Erm, no try again. Perhaps the clue is in the name Moderator?

that's not the issue.
No erotic/pornographic photos, if those are the rules, then those are the rules, that's fine.
But photos of women "begging for it" are ok, with open mouths, airbrushed nipples and whatnot, while that should also fall under the "no pornographic/erotic images" category.

I don't care for Steve's opinion. I asked for an explanation and the definition of 'pornography' as used on this forum... but of course you'd have to read the other thread to understand that.

I never knew that pornographic was the same as erotic though o.O

Perhaps Mr 'Moderator' could post in this thread and explain why he refuses to let the thread originator Tom rename this thread as he sees fit.

This is a split topic from the main board.

Please do not interfere with the title of the topic. The title has been tampered with three times already.

Regards,

Moderator

Oh. Which other thread? I seem to be missing something

I don't think I said it was, did I? I said "pornographic/erotic" because I can't remember which word was used.

But could you kindly tell us what is so wrong with renaming this thread 'Moderating Double Standards?' ?

Then maybe you should name it something more appropiate? It's not really about an avatar as you may but more likely not have noticed.

Yes, you really seem to be missing something.
Try the thread entitled 'Definition of 'pornographic'?'

Maybe you should read the rules again?
Just a thought....

*yawn*

Maybe it's just that I don't have to come here to check other people's dicks that makes me unable to really become *ahem* aroused with this subject. Anyway, I've got a naked avatar here showing off his tits, and so far nobody's moderated it.

*goes out*

Like how he hasn't even noticed the new Mr Moderator?
