General Discussion

Welcome back Boss Man. All has been quiet on the home-front.

Got this PM, anybody have any idea ?

^ I got the same PM too!
 
This person has 2 banned accounts: not90 and modrica88. Looking into the 2 banned accounts and warnings I definitely think this member is playing dumb & oblivious

^Hmmm so I guess ban again then? 

^Got one of those too, was just about to copy and paste it in here as I couldn't make head nor tail of it either.

 

^ So sorry to hear your sister wasn't feeling well But glad she is doing better and recovering Please let us know if there is anything we could do to further support you Take care!

Thanks Pinky! She's well and truly on the mend now. Most of my visits here are still having to be flying ones at the moment, but it shouldn't be too long before things start getting back to normal.

Good to have you back Michael.

Welcome back, Maddog!

^Hmmm so I guess ban again then? 

I would think so but I am open to hearing other options or suggestions   If we do ban him/her again we should PM the member reiterating the reason behind the banishment, so it wouldn't seem like we didn't take the request of unbanning under consideration.

BTW, a report from Matute about the member:

This member "Pret_a_Porter" is the former banned member

"Black_Couture" and "not90" from Bosnia Herzegovina.

He simply open new accounts with new user names.

So I guess somebody banned them already? 

Good to hear Michael  

^ I think Joe banned the member. That resolves that! (Y) I am hoping this member is just young and his/her brain hasn't fully developed yet b/c if you are going to troll at least try to keep it on the down low and not be so obvious *double facepalm & smh*

^ Sadly they'll be back. Apparently they got banned from TFS for trolling as well

I'm glad we banned the posting of the leaked videos themselves, but should we allow discussions about them?

To me it falls somewhere in the gray area.

e.g. the current discussion in Emily Didonato's thread. No one is linking to anything, but they are telling each how to find the pictures.

I'd suggest a new policy where if people want to discuss that kind of stuff, they should do it in PMs? Or is that going too far?

^ If the conversations are cluttering the thread or veering way off the focus on Emily's career and projects she is involved in then maybe we should move the posts into General Gossip for members to continue their discussions, or ask them to resume their discussions via PM. They are not doing anything wrong in talking about it but you are right about her thread may not be the best place to hold these discussions since it could downgrade the thread 
 
What do the rest of you think?

Lovely set BTW Pinky! Love me some Dioni.

My main issue with discussing the "fappening" or whatever it is called in their own threads: however the posters themselves might feel about the leaked pictures, they are still content which was procured through a criminal act. Not sure what message it sends about BZ itself if we serve as a platform to discuss such content. It certainly degrades the models topics to a certain extent, as you say.

I agree, I mean there is grey areas where I think its okay to acknowledge the pics exist, etc...but posting links and openly disucssing the content of the pics and where to find them I think should be moved to PM.

I think it would be a better look for the forum if we asked them to resume their conversation via PM. I know exchanges like the ones posted above are the norm on countless other sites, but those places tend to be extremely male-dominated and I’ve always thought of BZ as, if not an antidote to that, then certainly an alternative. I'm in agreement too that it's detrimental to the models’ topics, doubly so since we have several models as members here.

Good to have you back Michael.

Good to hear Michael

Thanks guys, good to be back!

Although I do agree with him about Doutzen's good, but the way he phrased his posts crossed the line on appropriateness and acceptability.

I hope you edited his posts.

Thank you!

I guess it depends on the extent the topic is being discussed and what exactly are members posting. If it is anything similar or even close to what Hollander posted, then yes members should discuss it via PM.

I hear you and I agree (Y)
