Bare Naked Ladies
Sorry to all the men that enjoyed glancing at my avatar as they browsed the forum, but the "powers" that be have censored me, hence my new avatar.

Apparently a female rear-end is deemed unacceptable by Canadians. Bummer, pardon the pun.

I think people are aware it is a public forum. I've seen worse avatars on the forum that haven't been censored.

Paul,

I think technically, censorship is something governments do. It sounds like GT affected change (compliance) through their terms of use and other legal obligations you accepted by using the GT website.

You have raised a separate question about whether or not the rule is being applied fairly and consistently, but have failed to affirmatively demonstrate this was/is happening.

If there is an avatar on the GT forums which you find offensive, your responsibility is to notify GT of the potential infraction and include reasons why it is offensive. Once you have done this, you would have some basis by which to determine if the "standards" are being applied fairly and impartially, or if some bias exists.

The forum guidelines:

Quote:
Offensive, obscene or illegal posts or links is also not allowed.

Is a naked ass obscene or offensive? (it's not illegal certainly).

If you say it's offensive then I could argue that most of anup's posts about the west are offensive...does that mean he should get banned or his posts deleted?

Alex himself pointed out that the word "paki" has landed someone in jail and yet he let's anup use the word paki in his posts.

I don't find it offensive, I'm just pointing out that there are worse ones than mine...luckily I have an open mind.

Bottoms, breasts etc. Thats why these softcore adult sites have to have a disclaimer.

I'm not refering to what Paul said, but more the fact that you seem happy to object to anything :) (I'm the same...especially with Paul....lol)

Re: [Paul] Bare Naked Ladies In reply to
Paul,

As Jack told you, we received more then one complaint about it and asked you to change it to something else. Changing it to a giant FCUK is no better (and no I don't care that it's a company logo -- the intent is clear). I've turned off your icons and am locking this thread. If you wish to discuss this, move it to email.

Alex.
