Bellazon's Nudity Policy

I would like to register a half question/half complaint about the nudity policy.

Just yesterday, I posted this image for which I was admonished for posting nudity without a text link warning:

Exhibit 1

But, there are plenty of examples of similar images being posted without a text link and without the poster being warned. From the "B & W photos: are they sexy or what?" thread:

Exhibit 2 Exhibit 3

It may be argued the lack of butt crack makes them acceptable with no warning. But in the same thread, we find these:

Exhibit 4 Exhibit 5

And perhaps, most confusing of all, this one made it into the "Nice Back!" thread with no warning:

Exhibit 6

Please explain why that last picture (Exhibit 6) is okay, while the one I posted (Exhibit 1) isn't.

I understand nipple and groin stuff is out, but why is some bare bottom stuff allowed, and others aren't?

Warning. Links may or may not contain nudity, based on the consensus from this thread.

maybe no one caught them <_<

I thought maybe its the b*ttcr*ck , but that doesn't seem to be the case either, seeing your other exhibits.... hmm..... I wonder what is the criteria... :lost:

maybe the mods/admins haven't seen those pics when they were posted... but anyways i think the butt nudity thing is stupid because there's not much difference between a naked butt and a butt with a thong

The thing is, pic #6 was posted by a moderator. That's why I'm curious.

For the final time, no buttcracks = not nudity, so that answers Exhibit's 2 and 3.

I think Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5 were posted before the staff decided to clamp down on the posting of nudity.

Exhibit 6 was to be linked but was overlooked. Thanks for pointing it out.

no buttcrack = not nudity sounds silly to me, but now that I know the rules, I'll do my best to follow them.

You of all people should understand that bare bottoms is considered to be nudity in the U.S.

I totally agree ... we're allowed to thumbnail (or wtv else) bare butts as long as the girls are wearing string between their cheeks. Thongs/g-strings are pretty nude if you ask me.... I think it's funny

I do know that. What I think is silly is that if the photographer were standing 5 degrees to his right in the first pic, it wouldn't count as nudity, since it would look more like the second pic. I also think the attitude toward nudity in the US is silly. Butts aren't genitals, and you can show a woman being gang raped on TV, but Janet Jackson's nipple must be abolished. Why can't we be more like Europe?

Ok, I'm done with my rant.

...Why can't we be more like Europe?

because you suck ?

j/k but yeah i'm amazed by how butts are a big deal...

So what's the boob policy? Frontal is a no-no? Or is more than just frontal off limits?

I feel we need to know this stuff.

boobs policy --- > no nipples allowed

So frontal is allright as long as the nips are covered?

nipples must be covered by fingers/hands, hair, flowers, stickers... you name it... make sure both are covered. I think that also happens to be funny too... cleavage is ok as long as the puppies noses aren't peeking.

nt.

Personally, I agree with you but that's our policy and we are sticking to it.

This is a forum based in the US so are following US standards.

yet its not a us name :| i just blew all your minds huh

I love your analogies.

Qball is getting away with it again. He posted a version of Exhibit #1 in the Nice back! thread without text-linking. The very same picture I was warned for! It's been up for 4 days. Think of all the children that could have seen that! The best backside in the world - out in the open for everyone to see! For shame!
