It always kills me how everyone gets so hot and bothered about personal liberty when it comes to gun ownership, but then get all limp wristed about other personal freedoms.
'Yes' I realize this is a private board and the owner(s) can do whatever they want with it, I have no problems with that and if people don't like it they can vote with their feet (figuratively speaking).
If someone can't handle looking at a scantily clad woman, hey don't click on the fukn thread! Real simple.
This is just the sort of PC ("it's for the children!") crap that everyone here rails against on a daily basis. If you have a problem with specific threads or posters, deal with those threads and posters not some blanket restriction that totally changes the character of the board.
I think Steyr probably jumped the gun a little bit and went overboard with deleting stuff, but was anyone paying attention that the Babe of the Day thread had well over 100,000 views? How many of those were complaining?
Get outraged at the people posting truly obscene stuff (I didn't see any of it, but I can imagine), get their IP (if you're an admin), spend some time and money finding out who they are (could even be pro bono if you have some moderately dedicated legal help on the board),and start aggresively going after them.
I'd love to see someone go to court to defend scat images as not being obscene in their municipality.
I like the general discussion area because of its free wheeling nature, I think everyone does a good job of self-policing without resorting to ridiculous 'zero tolerance' policies.
But what do I know, I'm just an Observer.
