Preserved Topic: Piercings ? (Page 2 of 2)

axleclarkeuk: Well you must win some kind of prize for being the first person to post a picture of their genitals in the Asylum (that I'm aware of anyway - some crazy stuff took place before I turned up). I'm just wondering if that prize might be a lifetime ban..............

Well that was unnecessary...

OK, was it really that bad ? Ummm, no i dont think so, it was blurred to hell and the only bit not was the ring, come on Emps, we are all adults here, well, most ofus are. I am sure there has been more offensive material posted on here. Or is this just something personal ?

And the point is that quite a few of us aren't adults. As far as I'm concerned the No Porn ruling also covers posting explcit (and, potentialy, offensive) imagery posted in the forum unless I hear anything to contradict (no pun intended) that:

[edit: Oh and:

Or is this just something personal ?

No it wasn't personal I'd have removed such a picture no matter who had posted it.

To reiterate: This is a web design and graphics (and related subjects) forums and this forum and the P&S are for us to explore other topics (or similar ones that don't fit in elsewhere) but they are only secondary to the main focus of this forum. We get a range of ages and sexes as well as races and religions and while we may touch on strong and emotive issues we really have to keep on our audience and avoid anything too offensive. I think we'd all prefer to rely on self-censorship (there has been plenty of stuff that I haven't posted here because it wasn't appropriate) but when that fails I'm quite happy to err on the side of caution. The Asylum is not a one-stop shop for everything and there are plenty of other forums to cater to whatever your interests are.]

yup.

And in those cases, it has also been removed. =)

*Please* remember, this is a forum that has an owner. That owner has selected moderators. Those moderators have a job.

When they *do* that job, just quit yer bitchin and move on.

Hmmmm....... Dictatorship and communism spring to mind.

The crucial difference being that the door is always open here - so if you don't like the way things are run you can always leave (dictators and communists tend to have rather strict border policies). The are a multitude of different forums catering to any subject so if this place doesn't quite suit then you should easily be able to find another one that does.

New sign in the asylum halls:

If it was a lovely democracy you'd be paying your taxes to be involved. Cough up!

Jason

why do people always assume they have "rights" to anything when they're on someone else's webspace?

This is a service that is being provided at someone else's expense. There are rules. Abide by them, or deal with such things as having objectionable material removed - end of story. Sounds like a pretty simple concept to me, and pretty damn easy to live with.

Want to live in a utopian fairyland where everybody shows their mutilated schlongs? Go make one....

Funny turn this topic has taken .. especially since that fat, little pink thing with a ring stuck through it was so indistinct that it could have been anything from a pinkie to the tip of a tongue ... it certainly didn't look very much like a dick to me ...

... and anyway .. wasn't this thread quite obviously heading in that direction from the very first post ???

As for the democracy vs. dictatorship crap ... well hell ... who cares .. I like it ... I stay ... I don't like it .. I sod off .. so since you (Axle) obviously don't like it ... why don't you just sod off ... simple eh ??

Is t just my boredom factor, or has this thread reached the stage of "pointless enough to close and forget"

People who under normal circumstances would find it very inappropriate to expose themselves suddenly have no qualms walking into a room, slapping it out on the table and saying "look what I did!"

It's the "slapping it out on the table" part that I loved the most DL ... I can almost hear the resounding thump that something made of gristle and skin, large enough to "slap out on a table", would make as it hit the tabletop ... now that WOULD be worth a photograph ... certainly more fun than that little fat, pink blob of jelly that Axle photographed .....

[This message has been edited by trib (edited 07-15-2003).]

Perhaps "slap out" was a bit of an exageration in many cases (more like a 'tinkling out' as the metal bounces on the table..) ...but the phrase does help the imagery, doesn't it

It's very true though, I've known maybe a half-dozen or so people who've gotten various penile peircings, and every one of them has waked into to the room and displayed it with a flourish, usually on the table...

And to clarify a bit - I really don't care one way or the other what body part was displayed...I'm not easily offended or overly sensitive. However, if a moderator decides it shouldn't be shown, well then - so it goes. Nobody's rights have been infringed upon by making a link instead of an image....

You are talking as if Emps made the link, he removed the image, i made the link, i am just glad that you clarified for us all, that it is ok.

I have no shame nor embarresment about what i have done, or what i have displayed. If you feel it makes you better by making me the butt of your childish schoolboy humor, then so be it, who am i to stop you.

I did what was suggested by a fellow poster, and posted my piercings, included some of my tatoos also. Did i post a nice close up in full glory of my cock ? NO !! i posted a small blurred version to try and lessen the graphical impact. Whether it was right or wrong, is not the point anymore, the point is that you have to resort to personal childish attacks in order to boost your own personal ego. I could resort to flaming you or any other person who has a go, but whats the point ? I like it here, and intend on staying, i wont have anyone try and verbally bully me away.

Ini - I wish everyone shared your sense of humor.

Somebody tell me that they never felt like this after reading one of my posts...

Ini - If people had made their point in the same way as you just did, then there would never have been a problem. The fact is that some people just have to go that little bit further to make things personal. I have thick skin and anywhere else i would have just let it pass without drawing attention to it, but in this case i have seen it only too often on this board that people basically take the piss ( english phrase ).

Why should i just sit back and take it like many others in the past. Too many people only post to provoke a negative reaction, and others jump on the bandwagon and kiss the arses of the hierarchy.

My post was NEVER intended to cause offense, thats why i went out of my way to try and manipulate the image for obvious reasons.

You have thick skin?

Hardly...you cry like a baby when anything is said to you that might be negative...

=)

Nobody said you should have any "shame" about posting your winky....but it was decided by a moderator that it was inappropriate and removed.

Oh well - no big thang...
(and for the record, I happen to disagree with Emperor...but, it was his decision, and if it were a wrongful decision, another moderator could easily have "corrected" it...)


And maybe I missed something, but I don't recall targeting you with any schoolboy humor...I made plenty of general comments regarding people I've known with studded peckers....did you take it all personally? You seem to do an awful lot of that....

.


but...whatever...this really is getting absurdly long winded.

Ini - that's by far the funniest thing I've ever seen you do...that cracked me up...

damn... I had hoped this wouldn't escalate.... ya'll need to calm the hell down...

*caps the kneeling thread in the back of the head*

(errr.....who's not calm? )

I wouldn't say 'Cry like a baby' more like he questions decisions.
Nobody knows what that person is thinking or what mood they are in when they write posts and everything that is posted usually can be taken in many different ways. As we can't see expressions, lots of things over the net get misconstrude. E.G. If i post a sentence and don't make it obvious HOW i want people to read it, (like putting smiley faces in or whatever) then people are going to read it many different ways. It is what makes us all different. But what i have noticed ......alot is the attitude on this board of ' Your only aloud to take this one way or else, if you dare to question you get your head bitten off'
Its negative, without any constructive critism and sarcastic.
Its got to the point where when someone posts, we already know what the tone of replies will be, its that predictable and laughable. Unless of course your part of 'the click' in which case you get favourable responses. Half the time i don't even think you know your doing it, it's just instinctive.
Some moderators need to learn tact. Maybe thats why they would rather deal with people over the net instead of face to face who knows

One question though......Axle put a link to a video of a P.A. being performed...(which i think personally is far worse then looking at a blurred still photo of penis) But absolutely nothing was said about that. So if LINKING questionable material is ok, why then Emperor didn't you just come out and post something like 'Axle i think linking your pictures would have been more acceptable thing to do mate'? Instead of posting the sarcastic , negative response of :

Shouldn't moderators be tactful, adult and know when to diffuse situations? Shouldn't they have the ability to talk to all kinds of people and make an enviroment that will want to make people come back and post again and again.

My point exactly!!! DL -44 your last post has come across as your not calm. There was no indication inthat post that you were not calm. I took it the exact same way as petskull!

..actually- I wasn't talking about DL- I was talking about "ya'll"

The point is simple- kill this pointless shit and resume talk about Piercings ?...

I won't lock this thread because, frankly, I don't care- I just avoid it.. but this is on the line for another one of the 18+ mods to figure that this shit isn't going anywhere- and it don't belong here.

As I said, 6 days ago:

Well there are some reasons:

1. I seem to have missed that link or I might well have commented on it - if there were warnings with it then I might not have had too much problem with it.

2. I am sarcastic and negative [edit: or at least I can be if pushed - I must admit I didn't think the above was either just blunt hey ho] - live with it or leave. I might have been more inclined to be helpful if I wasn't sick and tired of the pointless attention seeking that you and Axke seem to indulge in in every single thread you post to. As I said this is a web design forum but you don't seem to be here for that (Axle was a while ago) and it seems to you want to turn every thread into an arguement (and look another thread that had some promise has been dragged down by your double teaming) - Axle posted a picture of his pierced penis into the forum, I decided it wasn't suitable to be placed directly in the forum so I removed it (if this hadn't been another example of the same behaviour I might have been inclined to make more of an effort - post a message, turn it into a link, etc.) and that should have been the end of the story. It was hardly a big issue but you seem intent on making a mountain out of a mole hill again - if so carry on I have said my piece.........

Well i would tell you my secret, but its a schlong story !

**in a sean connery accent** "Schlong time something like this has happened "

Ok. I, too avoided this because I don`t really care about Axle`s *little friend*, or what he stuck in it, however inappropiate it may seem to me. We do talk about personal things here, sometimes, but PLEASE.

So, being the understanding, patient, experienced moderator that I am, I let it go. To each their own, I say.
Then it got petty (typical postings from pink, and the Sheep response from Axle) as if somebody took away their candy. Still, I let it go.

But this (as mahjqa mentioned twice) is getting rediculous, and going nowhere. So , please, in the future, keep your defensive, childish bullshit (and your genitals) to youselves.

We`re done here. Move along.
