Quote:I don't understand. Why is a purple smurf dancing objectionable, but a tattoo of a butterfly on someone's buttocks is acceptable? Good thing my avatar is just a head shot
Let's be clear on something. I have no general objections to either dancing cartoon characters or butterfly tattoos on buttocks. However, if you post an image of bare buttocks on this Forum, you will be politely asked to remove it.
This is a public area on a commercial site. It is open to the underage, the elderly, the religious and those who just plain don't want to look at pictures of someone's nether regions while trying to find out how to use XLookup.
Unlike much of the Internet, this Forum needs to be a civil and safe environment where a wide range of people can come to look up information and ask questions. Opposing ideas, discussions and jokes are welcome. Flamewars, personal attacks, intimidation and vulgarity are not. It's not appropriate to display an image of a butterfly tattoo on someone's buttocks here, any more than it is appropriate to walk into someone's place of work and drop your trousers to show it to them there, regardless of what you do on the beach.
Unfortunately, there is something else I feel I must clarify. Some of you may have noticed that all of Walt's posts have disappeared from the Forum. This was not done by me or anyone else at Lantica, nor was it done at my request. Some of you may also have received messages stating that Walt would now be banned from this Forum. Walt has not been banned from the Forum, nor was he in any way told he would be banned. His account is still active. The only request made of him was to change his avatar.
I would never remove a member's posts, except at their own request, or under very extreme circumstances.
