Thread: Posting because of 'Principle'

So......We either have to remind eveyone, or no-one? Seems like it could get pretty redundant having a warning under almost every picture in that thread.

Guyver gave a friendly reminder after that top pic was posted because it comes pretty close to being over "the line". Mere centimeters away from showing clam (not Guyver, the pic :) ). Nothing more than a friendly reminder. Enu's pic isn't showing anything that I can see, or any more than a JC Penney catalog would show. If nipple is to be seen, you would have to zoom WAY the Hell in, and for all we know, it could be the edge of a freckle. Nothing there that would get us flagged as a porn site.

The occasional reminder is just fine. If a pic gets posted that anyone feels is over the line, report it, and we will discuss it in the Site Mod forum.

But that's the point Dex. Scion's photo doesn't show anything. It comes close to showing vagina by mere centimeters, but all the same there is no foul. The same can be said about Enumae's photo. It may not show anything, but comes close by centimeters. Guyver found issue enough with Scion's for a friendly reminder and then calls "no issue" on Enamue's? There is nothing showing in either photo! (I see a speck of nip, but that's me.)

I didn't make an issue of anything. I posted common sense and instead get treated as if I'm arguing with a mod. And that is where principle comes in. If I'm going to be made feel like an idiot, because I said there was no foul and then have a High come in and support Guyver in his stance that a photo was "close" to showing vagina, but doesn't show anything at all, and then another photo comes along that comes "close" to showing nudity and Guyver then posts "No issue", I'm going to take offense to that. It's not right in my opinion and not consistent moderating on his part. Both of these photos show the same amount of nudity (None, but come close) but they are treated completely differently. One "close" and one "no issue".

If TPG is going to say Scion's photo is close, then I would hope they agree that Enamue's photo is close also.

Tag, I'm it I guess. I rarely, if ever, visit this topic because I like my women three dimensional, so I missed all of this. Here are my 2 cents. Did Guyver need to warn anyone? Probably not because as has been mentioned pretty much every picture in the topic is as close to the line as possible. We have even seen some instances where the line has been crossed, and images have been removed. Why did Guyver choose that one pic to issue the reminder? I have no idea as he could have chosen any of them, but just like on the servers if 4 people are not following the call then a general reminder is issued, and I feel that is what Guyver was doing for the first picture you linked. Then on the second you pointed out a possible trip across the line, he reviewed it, and said it was safe. Could he have issued a warning that it was close to the line again? Sure, but he could also issue that warning after every post I would bet.

To me this is much ado about nothing, but I guess we could just lock the topic to prevent the drama all together?

It's actually pretty simple. Guyver issued an appropriate 'heads up' type warning. That warning was sitting there when Enu posted so he and everyone else was reminded of the rules. Enu posted a pic that arguably is equivalent to Scion's, neither of which crossed the line. Making an additional post to Enu would be overkill. Have we done it before - sure, the moderators are there to manage the threads and Guyver took the action that was appropriate.

If Guyver, or another mod, had followed Enu's post with an additional warning - that too would have been appropriate, as appropriate as issuing no additional warning. The fact that the 2nd 'heads up' warning wasn't issued doesn't mean that the rules are being applied inconsistently.

We done here?

Thank you for the responses. I understand this is petty bullshit and really doesn't matter, but I felt the need to speak my mind. If you want to think it was to show my dick is larger then Guyvers or that I want to see him get spanked you couldn't be farther from the truth. I saw inconsistent moderating, even if it was in the smallest way possible.

The first photo was flagged by Guyver in which he posted a friendly reminder. I flag the most recent photo which reveals just as much as the past photo and all Guyver responds is "No issue". Maybe he didn't want to be repetitive, I don't know. Either way he is correct that there is "no issue" with Enamue's photo just as I said there is "No foul" with Scion's. My issue probably stems from Alundil calling me out for "arguing" when that is not what I was doing at all. Then I see a chance to be a stickler on a photo, just as Guyver was, and it's "Not an issue", period. Just didn't seem fair in my opinion.

I got the responses I wanted. Thank you.

Done
