Jose, you really need to stop referring to her as "Plumsie." It's obvious it's not a term of endearment, and it only solidifies your reputation as a smug, superiority-complexed little man.

so, in the future if I have an avatar that I'd like to use and I'm not sure if it is appropriate or not, could I then run it by you first to check? that's all I ask... perhaps I should ask Rob instead...

Many of the most vocal about their desire to post shirtless icons and pictures are the same ones who would abuse the parameters. They have proven that already, and they have demonstrated their desire to press limits.

Basically, you're saying "if we make a rule, people will break it." How the heck does that justify not making a rule in the first place? All it does is confuse those of us who don't want to get deleted. And how can people be pressing the "limits" of something that doesn't exist?

No Plum, that's not what I'm saying.

I don't know if you were around at a time when the barechested icons and suggestive pics became excessive. BWW recieved a number of complaints from members about the appearance of the boards. BWW decided that all shirtless icons, and anything else it deemed inappropriate, would go. Barechested men in sexually suggestive poses; men with bulging crotches, and erections; bare asses; exposed pubic hairlines--these are just some examples of the pics favored as icons in the past, or posted in threads.

That being said, there are some barechested pics are not inappropriate. CABARET's Emcee, for example. A theatre costume last time I checked. Someone else's bareched Taye Diggs, is non suggestive and not inappropriate.

We had a poster, some of you are aware of this, who, to his great delight and glee, announced how he wanted to test limits and posted male nudes in a thread. (Purposefully, in the wee hours of the moring, after he knew I was off line. Sad, pathetic, but true.) This, I'm sorry to say is someone who chronologically is an adult, but who continues to demonstrates otherwise.

Thus, the simplier solution for BWW management is to NOT allow any icons or pics, or posts themselves for that matter, which BWW deems inappropriate.

It's like a dress code, I suppose. We've all encountered that at some point in life.

If you find yourself asking, "is this pic appropriate," then it probably isn't. If you're questioning yourself then it probably doesn't belong. If you don't want to risk having it deleted, don't post it. If you want to take the risk, post it, but if it gets deleted, accept the fact that BWW found it inappropriate.

Oye.

I don't really find much of a problem with the "no shirtless icons" policy and do not, for the most part, fault Jose' for deleting certain ones.
I just find fault with his need to segregate and discriminate against those younger than he.

But, still, he is a Moderator of this site, and however much I may disagree with him on (and very strongly in some cases), and even if he denies me the respect I also deserve, I do respect his job and his position.

Jose', I've said it before and I'll say it again, I find you to be the most "inappropriate" thing around here. And please stop referring to me indirectly. The only thing that's sad and pathetic is the way that you continually misuse and abuse your authority and provoke discord. You're a classic example of someone who's been given an inch, and as a result, fancy's them self a ruler.

I was there, and I understood why the first "muy angry" and the "Speedos" thread, among others, ended up being deleted. However, I completely didn't understand why the second "muy angry" was deleted, since we were careful to include only photos that had stayed up for months in the first thread.

Thus, the simplier solution for BWW management is to NOT allow any icons or pics, or posts themselves for that matter, which BWW deems inappropriate.

It's like a dress code, I suppose. We've all encountered that at some point in life.

Obviously there's a lot of miscommunication going on here- I'm asking for a dress code. I don't want the right to post porn here. But when we tried to keep the second "muy angry" thread safe by relying on precedent, it got deleted anyway. That's why I'm frustrated here.

Right. So, what do you all think of this "adult-only board" thing?

I think if people want it, give it to them.

(So my vote is NO, I would not pay a nominal fee nor want to participate - and I hardly think Jose' will be losing sleep over that

, but YES, if people want another board and are willing to pay, then who are we to stop them? At least they're given a "choice" around here.)

Tiff, I don't share you "vote," but I salute your very objective outlook to the question at hand.

Thank you for your objectivity.

BEKA, that's only if you're actually looking for a scientifically valid poll. That's obviously not the case here, and would be pretty impossible, anyway. We'd need to have anonymous votes, for starters, and that's not happening.

If I remember correctly, Liam, it was never said that the Adult board wouldn't have regulations - just that the guidelines for discussions and avatars would be more liberal there.

Actually, if having an "Adults Only" board means that Jose' will be spending most, if not all, of his time there, it may not be such a bad idea after all.

However, please don't count that as a "yes" vote. I still vote "NAY".

I think I just don't understand why we're discussing this.

It's OBVIOUS that the Adults Board is going to happen, in the near future, if Jose' wants it that way. Most of us will sign up for it, some won't, for whatever reason. Why can't we just leave it there?
