| Alright... Everyone needs to take it a notch down.
First off, over there, it wasn't a question of what might cross the line, if it does... Geez, is this a hanging chad or not?
In short, they were trading pictures that blatantly crossed the line. I've talked to folks myself. Yes, it happened. I've personally talked to folks involved. Was anyone involved either under the age of 18? If not, then legally, it's a non issue, and forum wise, it was a grossly negligent act on the moderators point who are there to patrol the area, that knew it was going on, and just let it happen.
ESPECIALLY on the moderators that were in charge of the section.
But as other said... It's a slippery slope. It's a private section. One thing slips, and another, and another. Soon it becomes the norm.
I'm not trying to defend anyone or any site, it's just that I know how it is here, and folks always wanting to push that envelope.
We try to keep it PG on the forums, and PG-13 in the private section. It's private, and yes, you can loosen your tie so-to-speak, but there are still rules and we do what we can to stick to them...
I believe that's what most places strive for... even PBN I would hope. I know that's what the owner probably expected. But when your team lets you down, it's time to clean house.
How bad was it? We'll never know. Not unless you get into the database and start looking. The banned users... All their PM's should still be there, and give me 30 seconds with PHPmyAdmin and a username, and I'd be able to tell you. It's not that hard to do if you need to do it.
I'm imagining it was done, and that's what prompted the banning and some of the certain text that was posted by the admins over there.
So please cool it here, and just keep watching worldoftb, and you can discuss if over there in depth if you must but fighting here isn't going to do us any good.
I'll keep it unlocked for now, but if it keeps going and degrading this way, I will. |
