Shall we bring back the Lurverly Ladies Thread???

Tiger · 05-13-2006, 08:53 PM

Is this site already on some "obscene" list? Because the only way I can get access at college is going via a proxy server. Would this site have been listed when the previous ladies thread was alive, or is it just my college censoring certain forums that may be view as "chat" forums?

I agree.

Then we would be filtered from many places because someone considered a hooters girl to be obscene. The key is that people are able to access the historical and factual info on this site. There are many other places to go to look at pinup girls. This WW2aircraft.net, not bikinibimbobabes.net.

Well said.

Count one more against.

There is no way to know what your school's policy is on their content filters. As far as I know, we dodged a bullet last time with it.

our school filtered the pages where CC posted all them pics of himself and the unfortunate cream incident

Okay... Looks like a senior member should play the Devil's lawyer... And looks like it fell on me.

I agree with Les. We should bring it back, but with very clear rules. If you break the rules, you get banned.

Personnally (and may be it's only because of my 12% of French origins), I think that there is not really a big difference between the picture of a "real" girl in bikini and the picture of a bomber's nose art. Does enyone here ever saw the nose art of the B-25 called the "Apache Princess" ? That nose art could be judged more "offensive" than 10 pictures of girls in bikinis.

If I had a little more guts, I would post a picture of a girl in bikini I have here and one of the "Apache Princess" and ask you which one you think is more offensive.

If I remember well, the reason why the last thread was closed down was because some members who didn't understand English very well like Sunny (he said it himself) posted some pictures that were more... nude. But if we have clear rules (no pubic hairs, no camel toes, no boobs) written in bold in the first post, I think there won't be any problem.

if it is bought back the warnings about what you can/can't post and punishments should either be made the first post on each page, or somewhere at the top of the page.......

lesofprimus · 05-14-2006, 04:59 AM

10 : 5 in favor of bringing it back..........

I think the Lanc has a great idea as far as posting at the top of each page the rules and repercussions for posting lady pics....

I would accept the responsibility of editing/policing/Moderating this thread, if we so decide to bring it back.......

That being said, I do share the same feelings as evan and NS on this concerning the content filters, and feel that this thread would/could cause some problems in that department, if it is not diligently overseen....

plan_D · 05-14-2006, 10:48 AM

I don't care. But I see Eric's point more than anyone elses.

syscom3 · 05-14-2006, 10:56 AM

And what happens when one of those idiots does post an obscene picture and before a moderator can remove it?

Just by having a "girl" section could get this site banned on more lists.

And pictures of "noseart" hardly ever falls under a porn catagory, any more than Michaelangelo's artwork.

cheddar cheese · 05-14-2006, 11:06 AM

Well said Eric.

R988 · 05-14-2006, 05:08 PM

TBH if you want to stare at porn or even scantily clad women there really is no shortage of other places on the net in where that sort of thing is readily available. Google search, with safe search turned off and you'll find more than you ever wanted.

Personally I don't really see much reason or need for it, but then I have no particular problem with it, I have no real filter at work and browse with images turned off (all the sig pics and avatars kinda give the game away that I'm not doing work related stuff

) and as long as the thread is clearly labelled so I can avoid it while at work that is fine by me.

lesofprimus · 05-14-2006, 06:38 PM

As it stands now, anyone can post any image, including a porn mpg or avi, and this pron freak right here has posted titty shots in our Moderator forum....

If someone were to post a pic of some chick showin beav, it would get quickly deleted, by either myself, or another mod, not that anyone would do that anyways, cause they havent done it in over a year in the first place....

I think more is being made out of this than is really called for.... Its just chicks in bikinis and thongs, and once its put into effect, it will be watched closely....

evangilder · 05-14-2006, 06:50 PM

I have raised my concern about it. If it is brought back, do not expect me to moderate it. I can, and do, look here from work and for me to be seen looking at even bikini clad women could be grounds for dismissal. They are very careful about that. Also know that if this site does get added to content filters, there will be no recourse for us and there we will likely remain, even if the content deemed inappropriate is removed. It is important that the risk is truly understood.

GermansRGeniuses · 05-15-2006, 01:41 AM

Do it. Can see why people wouldn't want to bring it back, but I'm for it.

11:5?

Tiger · 05-15-2006, 12:46 PM

I believe the board rules say do not post pr0n so if some *** is stupid enough to want to post pictures of some beaver he's going to start his own thread or spam somebody Else's. If people start not doing things because some stupid *** may or may not do certain things we would get no where. Its like not building buildings bigger than one story because somebody may jump off. If they are going to jump they'll just jump off a cliff instead.
