Guy getting head cut off with chainsaw = OK

Human nipple = NOT OK


human female nipple.  I haven't opened the HOTD forum but I'm betting that topless is okay in there.  Talk about unequal application of the rules...  


They can't show bare ass in HOTD, it's ok in BOTD.


Aaaaa, I'll take your word on that

Allowing photos of naked women would also add arfcom to yet another category for these category based web filters.And then there's the advertisers, the people who pay to have their name here.

It's really not some conspiracy to deprive everyone of the sweet sweet boobies.

If it is, it fails. Since there are one or two places on the interwebz where you can find titties and stuff.


Hell, Google Titties

Hell, Search Youtube.

They got Meredith Baxter Birney Titties

And a young adult female soccer team doing breast exams on each other  [I've seen almost all of that one.}

That might be it, I honestly don't know about nowadays.

This is for the newbies.

Here is what I do know about how the rule came about and why we have it.

At one time, this site was fairly small revenue wise and GB had to have another job to make ends meet. He also had an understanding with his boss that there would be times when he needed to work on the site at work. Well back then when the rules on this were looser, some jackass would post a pic of a chick in a bikini just out of the blue in almost every thread. It almost never failed. There would pop up almost every time.

That couldn't happen at GB's new job, so the rules were changed, not to eliminate them, but to restrict them to one forum, that you pretty much knew if you opened it there would be a BOTD type pic in there.

this seemed to work well so even after GB left his old job, the rule remains. It helps people who surf at work. I own my place, but I don't surf BOTD forums...really ever, but certainly not at work where anyone might see what I was doing. I don't want my employees thinking that I'm watching porn while they are working. That is just a personal thing for me.  

It isn't the end of the world to not to be able to post picks of chicks in bikinis. Just google image it if you feel the need to look at some. I sure you would NEVER see all of them even if you tried.



Just for experimentation:

Google searched "Bikinis":

About 141,000,000 results

That's a good synopsis.

So what's the official rationale for requiring removal/absence/obliteration/obfuscation of URL and copyright information on any of the photos posted in BOTD?

I have no idea honestly. Probably they don't want ARFCOM to be appearing to promote a porn site. But that is a wild ass guess that I just came up with. I've never looked into it. I saw the rule once, but the chances of me posting BOTD pics are near zero honestly so I never paid much attention to it.



Actually it would've surprised me if you did know because none of the staff or mods that I've previously asked has ever given a reasonable explanation, which leads me to believe there isn't one.

I find it operating in bad faith to allow posting of content but at the same time requiring that visible author/owner attribution information be removed. It's like being able to post a movie as long as I remove the title and credits beforehand.

Again that's some bullshit right there.

I would think it is because ARFCOM doesn't want to be sued for intentionally allowing members to post copyrighted images. If the copyright has been removed the site has plausible deniability should a problem arise. How freaking hard is it to respect the site owners and your fellow members and follow the rules?

OK I went and looked and here is the actual rule.

Do not post pics with watermarks

   No links to, or reference to porn sites. This includes pictures withthe website's watermarks on them. IM them to each other till you'rehearts content. BUT DO NOT POST THEM!


That CLEARLY doesn't mean remove the watermark. It means don't fucking post pics with watermarks. If someone crops a pic to make it CoC compliant, how in the hell would you enforce that?

You are taking that rule and making it read something it doesn't. It means what it says, not what you think it says. just because guys are skirting the rules by removing them, doesn't mean that is what ARFCOM is asking you to do. They are saying don't post them at all, however how would you enforce a rule that said don't crop it out?






The Pontius Pilate routine is great and all but only has that wording been ..let's call it "refined" over the years to it's current state...the facts are
1- that it doesnt say "dont post copyrighted content", it says "don't post images with watermarks" "...this includes pictures with the websites watermarks on them".
2- BOTD forum is promoted as one of the "Premium" features of the site that you have to pay to get access to (or even to see in the forum listing)
3- even the most cursory examination of images (or use of Tineye) indicates that the vast majority of these are professional images from mainstream adult oriented sites.

It's not "me making it read like something it's not", it's looking objectively at all the facts and calling it what it is.

Recently I had a long time out and was not allowed to login to my account here on AR15, Well I don't know if you know it or not but they have commercials that play on this site for non team members to enjoy. One of the ads was for a Hot Tub  and it featured a big tittied model in a skimpy bikini I thought that was kind of odd considering the rules here.


thats come up with staff more than once


That's actually hilarious.


To be sure, I support the no-bikini rules, but it's hilarious that it's somehow OK if it's from an ad.
