skategreen Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 That works. See, I didn't even notice the kid in the original... I believe it is an all or none type of concept. You can either look at the site or you can't. At least, that is how it is with all of the filters I have dealt with. Then you run in to the question, at what age do you consider someone a child? This site is set up like a regular 'chat/forum' which a join age of 13. Is that not a child. If a person is between 13 and 17, my guess is that he/she would not consider him/herself a child and therefore see nothing wrong with viewing elicit material. I agree that parents should know what their children are doing and that is the parent Quote The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit.

Ruse Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Seriously, I think it's tacky, superfluous to a debate site, and just plain dumb. That's just for myself. I think if someone wants to post it, that's up to the admins. Porn doesn't belong on a debate forum, if I am correct. Now, people can do whatever they want, and this is a mature site, so I would assume the members would handle it maturely. I don't think it should be there, but for the sake of self-moderation, if people can handle themselves correctly then there should be the freedom to do so. "It ain't right...." Quote Invictus maneo.

phreakwars Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 This was one of the key reasons for the PISS POT. I personally didn't wanna see a bunch of crap spewing into our other forums, but I knew damn well the people that this site draws just by it's suggestive name alone, would be more of the wilder type bunch. My reasoning is, that letting them flame someone in a totally separate forum any way they like, will prevent people from taking it into the more serious topics. Personally, I agree with Tori, but then I'm not one to let my personal feelings dictate how the site is run. That is why I created this poll/topic, so that ALL MEMBERS could openly discuss it. The position I take on it, is the same as Bob's. I know how it will affect our site host, but as long as they're not complaining, I ain't gonna tell anybody otherwise. But yes, we DO need to tame it down a bit here people, and it's NOT because of how any of the ADMIN/MOD team feel, it's just for the sake of keeping the site AT LEAST at a level where schools are not blocking us because of suggestive pictures containing nudity. I'm sure almost all of you know how to use a photo editor, and you can always do like I do, and instead of linking to another site, upload your pic to one of the free pic hosting sites like photobucket , edit your image content with a black bar or pixelation, then link to it so that it can be seen . Less then a minute of your time, and nobody is gonna bitch about it being blocked out. . You can see by the photo I posted here, that the pixel job still keeps it kid friendly, but we as adults still get the idea of what the picture is showing. I'm all for the fun and carnage of the piss pot, I'd just hate to see the site get a bad rep and be known as an adult site, when truly, that is NOT what we push for here. So keep the slamming up, but try to think of others who may view the site, and who it may affect. I know I am guilty of it too, so I won't bitch at ANYBODY in general, nor will I openly say YOU CAN'T DO THIS, or you HAVE TO pixelate/black box your pictures, but I do ask sincerely that people use a bit of discretion and not let things get TOOO far out of hand.. And, as a side note, since Tori feels I am running the board into the ground the way I moderate it, I no longer wish to moderate this board, and have sent a request to Bob to De-Mod me. Best wishes to the other 5 Mods we now have. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars

You brought it out here to get sympathy from the members. Guess it is working. Does it make you feel good to imply that I don't want you on here just so you can see who on the forum does want you to stay. Is this some kind of ego trip for you or are you trying to make this a pissing contest? You have done a lot of good things on this thread, but I am allowed to disagree with some of them. Sorry, this poll didn't go the way you expected. Apparently the animals are not as wild as you thought. If you leave as a mod over this then, to use CES's term, you are a pussy.

tizz Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I personally think a GF without phreak would NOT be GF (at least not for me) I mean i have been getting abused by phreak wince the day I first signed up (why do you think I stay, the shit cracks me up" He is probably the best mod I have ever seen and regardless of the fact that i keep showing up in images that have to do with shit and ass, he is the most fair. I do agree the harder images are a bit much (if only there was a really way to verify age but this world is but virtual) and I DO reacall phreak getting word out that even the piss pot needed to be more about the wise cracks and less about the images (sorry tori but if your name weren't green I would even know you were a mod. Not saying you don't have input behind the scenes but phreak puts his ass on teh line modding in the open and occasionally taking shit for it. I've been there and that is the hardes part) No Phreak, get in your time out chair and think about it and GO TAKE A NAP!!!!!!

ToriAllen Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 The porn really doesn't bother me. I couldn't care less. It's a human body, I've seen it. But if it is a threat to the site, then get rid of it. Maybe the link thing is a good idea. I would hate to see something happen to GF because of a set of tits. Or someone rubbing those tits.. Let me clear one thing up. I think the human body is beautiful and fascinating. The human body is not what disturbs me. My objection is the context in which it is used/viewed. I have many books that contain nudity that my children could get into if they simply pulled a chair up to the bookcase (ie. Anatomy, Biology, Human Sexuality). The difference is that the pictures contained in these books are educational. If my kids open these books, they might actually learn something. Most of the pictures I have seen on here were meant to be crude or demeaning. This is not the view I have of the human body, and it is not the view I would want my child/teen to have of the human body. As for having kids, I do have a child - she's just not a young child. I have a 22 year old daughter (see other posts for brags/boasts/pride/overwhelming love) ... and as a matter of fact I also raised 2 step children and taught school for 11 years. Any parent worth their salt has their parental relationship, supervision and communication established so that they know exactly what's going on with their kids. I never owned a TV and hence, did not have boxed babysitters. I knew what the kids were doing...cuz we were doing things together! Sorry. I must say though, any parents who think they can know exactly what their child is doing every minute of every day is either very naive or overbearing. Children must be given room to grow by the parents. I am not saying to let kids run wild. In fact I believe that parents should take a very active role in their child Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others.

Komrade Vostok Hazard Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I've been to enough overly-moderated sites that get their panties in a knot whenever anyone posts anything sexually oriented. I can't stand that. GF is one of the few sites in existance where a person can actually cut loose, and I'd hate to see that go. If I can't talk shit or put up disgusting pics, I'm leaving. People: If you want morality, get your ass to church. You won't find it here. Quote All bullshit, No Business.
