illusions.. "If you're dissatisfied with the Admin's decision about the elimation of a banner, you should direct your dissatisfaction to them" we did. And we were told Members complained. The banners that were pulled were very mild and possibly suggestive but far less than the Herbal Essence commercial on tv is. "it's not the members fault and the merchants should not be misdirecting their frustration on the members that spoke up" none of us are.. The censored ads that you are seeing are no different than any other ad. They draw attention to them. No one is being punished and I haven't seen the issue being blamed on customers or members who spoke up against the nudity in banners. "perhaps it had less to do with what was covered or uncovered and more to do with the pose or something else in the banner they might have felt was innappropriate" actually on the banners that i saw that were banned It wasn't a pose or the clothing. They were very tasteful and well done ads. Now before you think that I was pro nudity I am not. Some of the banners running before were very embarrassing for me to have showing while I surfed the site in front of my daughter. None of my banners have ever had nudity nor would they. But I do understand sex sells. Please also Remember that the merchants are members here, and most of us support this community. We are NOT punishing anyone. We are strictly making our views of this issue known. And yep I am running a censored ad.
