So, again... what's our policy on Playboy pics? I don't have the guts to remove those pics without asking you first.

Do we really ban Playboy pics all the way?

I have a hard time saying no to those being text linked here considering two things:

1. She is a real model

2. The pics only show boobies.

IMO

We are banning all Playboy pics, but I ran into same dilemma as you the other day. I forget the name of the model but she was only topless, which is not pornographic at all.

This is just rediculous, I thought we are suppose to allow tastefull nudity and disallow everything else. Topless is fine, not all Playboy pics should be immediatly banned just because they are playboy pics.

I am seriously leaning towards getting rid of this rediculous nudity ban, as long as its not sexual (think X rated), there is nothing wrong with it.

The reason they ARE banned is because it's Playboy. Which as we had a huge discussion about that they're softcore porn. Which was the point of having the rule in the first place. Nudity isn't the issue here, because hell half the models on this forum have stripped down to nothing on several occasions. But if we're saying Playboy is okay, then we're opening the door to let other shit in, and sooner or later we're going to have x-rated garbage everywhere but it'll be okay because "you can't see anything".

this is me...walking away before i say something really foul and inappropriate.

A picture would be X-rated because you CAN see too much, not because you cant. Before we had any real enforcement of nudity rules, I dont think the fourm was going in that direction, since most of the content here are real models that wouldnt be in a X-rated picture in the first place. Occationaly you will see a picture that goes to far, and by all means feel free to delete it or the post, but I do not think a topless picture falls anywhere near that point. I think we have just taken this nudity thing way to far, if anything it gives mods major headaches not knowing weather to delete or not, aswell as members not wanting to post content since they dont know if they will be warned/banned for something stupid.

One word: Stupid.

the only headache i'm getting as a mod is having to remind the admins of the rules they set up in the first place.

Text linked nip shots of a real model are not allowed simply because the pic was published in Playboy? :shock:

Playboy = Porn. And we don't post porn.

Jessica Alba is on the cover of Playboy this month and has an exclusive (fully clothed) picture inside. I guess we should post that either since it's published in Playboy.

Well don't post it, who gives a shit? There are such things as fansites.

is right

You know, you're really grating my nerves as of late. Almost everything you say comes out incredibly fucking stupid and I'm tired of it and when I asked about having an admin removed I was talking about you because I don't think you need to be one or rather you don't deserve to be one. At first I thought that hey, you would be a good admin, you would stick to rules, etc. unlike some of the other staff but obviously I was very very wrong. Don't like what I have to say? I don't care, get over it. You suck and I'd like to follow Nicole when she said fuck off because I think it's about time you did.

Oh yeah and because adding smilies at the end seems to "soften the blow" here you go

Exactly. Because Playboy is porn, period. It doesn't matter if they're naked, fully clothed, talking about their dog, or what sexual position they like. It's still porn.

And here's what I think.

1. If everyone has such an issue about enforcing the rules, we should go down the list of each rule in here and decide if we want to use it, add to it, or toss it out and come up with REASONS for each. WHY do you think it should be removed, edited, added onto and then like normal individuals, we discuss it and come up with a set of rules that we can all agree on.

2. We need to make a list of what is a warning offense. Because this whole thing about it breaking out into a fight every other day is really fucking tiring. If someone posts nudity without a warning, we warn them, if someone is an ass, we warn them. WHATEVER it is we all need to know what we can and can't warn about and that would save A LOT of headaches. At least I think so. So when lim whatever his name is, or Barry or Taben or someone else opens their mouth, we don't have to come back here and go "well it wasn't THAT bad" because most of the time? It is. And I'm personally getting fucking sick and tired of it being girls and against guys and the guys are just rolling their eyes and virtually patting the rest of us on the head going "there there" and ignoring everything we say.

3. We need set guidelines about what the mods and admins can do and can't do. And people with the status of mod and admin need to do their fucking jobs instead of sitting by and letting things get bad before they step in with a roll of their eyes to "save the day". Half the time I forget we have people as mods or admins because I never see them doing ANYTHING, and the only way you know they're on the mod team is their little title says so. And we need to be held accountable for our fucking actions. If you fuck up, you get punished for it. Have your status removed or whatever if it comes to that. Because just because you're an admin or a mod doesn't make you God, and a lot of people around here fucking act like it.

Big suprise, you don't like me...but that's not a good enough reason to petition for my removal from admin status. You claim that I break the rules, but you are "very very wrong" indeed. If not, then show me. Sure I talk about the issues in here, and we had one issue in Adrienne Curry's thread which I fessed up to, but the state of your nerves is no justification for your tirade here. Yes, I suck and I surely should fuck off, but I'm not the one that needs to get over it.

1) My wanting you removed has nothing to do with my personal issues with you. I actually liked you before you became admin and I thought you'd make a good one.

2) I never said you broke rules. You misread what I had to say.

3) What issues? The nudity thing? WOW big fucking deal. What else do you discuss here, hm?

4) I got it off my chest so obviously I'm over it. It was me sitting back and not saying anything that had me at the point where I needed to get over it and I did.

I won't be responding back as I won't be able to in a few minutes.

Ok, then someone please explain to me what her problem with me was...besides personal? I mean, why am I not deserving of being an admin? I am open to stepping down if this is a valid issue.

well since Ashley is no longer here I feel that I have to say something. Jimmy, I used to like you better BEFORE you became admin. I am aware that I was the one who recommended that your admin status be official because I too thought you'd be a great admin. Figured you'd get stuff done, but ever sincd you became admin, I have liked you less and less. Certainly on this board. Outside here, I think, oh yes, THIS is why I like talking to Jimmy, Jimmy's cool. But on BZ, I really just want to ring your neck sometimes.

Take the fucking issue with Taben and lim f(x) for example. I have NO fucking idea what made you think your little remark in the Judging area was funny but it wasnt. Moreover, the fact that you can joke about it suggests to me you don't realize just what a huge issue it was for the staff as a whole. I feel that since that moment it's been pretty tense around here. But whatever, I guess I should just "get over it"

edit: didnt see your comment jimmy so this isnt a direct response to it.

Here's what I've been told and observed.

You don't do anything. At least that any of us have noticed. The only thing that comes up in my personal memory is the whole nudity/playboy thing which you're still throwing around as not being a big deal. Then there was when you defended GG and Worshipper when they were basically being assholes and starting fights because they could.

And joking about sexual orientation is uncalled for.

Am I beyond making a stupid comment?..of course not. Am I beyond being misunderstood or not conveying my thoughts correctly?... of course not. My only recourse is to admit that I made a stupid remark and apologize if I offended you guys. I don't understand why anyone didn't say anything at the time though....seems like that would have avoided the build up of "tenseness".
