It takes an awful lot to offend me, but I also accept the fact that others do not believe as I do.
The ball gag is one of the tamer items I have seen in the freestuff, here and elsewhere.
I understand the point trying to be made here, and it has little to do censorship or moral decency.
This is a community based on good will, and the TOS however restrictive some may view it to be, is quite liberal.
Hell, the only things you can't do are attack others and depict sexual arousal/engagement.
Sounds pretty fair to me.
The only way for this community to prosper is to keep things as neutral as possible in it's default state.
More visitors-more members-more ideas-more free items-tutorials-help-inspiration.....
Most people here know it's hard to surf the galleries at work or in front of children.
Not that there is anything wrong with the content in the images.
The problem is that nudity tags are useless if the thumb is a closeup of a clitoris.
By this time, first impression is already made and a label is attached.
New members/contributers may be turned away at this point.
These are just two situations where most would find it improper to have such a display on the monitor for others to see.
Kinda the same for porn, the recent beheading videos, autopsy pictures of children....
I don't know, think of the absolute last thing that you would want to see...
...wouldn't you want to have the option of NOT seeing it?
Yes I know there are provisions to kill the nudy thumbs if they are tagged...
...but new visitors don't know of this option, they don't have the choice by default.
Hell, even some veteran members can say that they have no idea how to go about setting that up.
Ok this is getting a bit long winded, and I don't thing it will make a bit of difference.
I stated earlier that I am not offended easily.
Also I don't have to worry about someone else viewing what I am.
I don't have a need for regulation of content at all, but others do.
This community isn't based around me, if it were, I wouldn't visit.
I shudder to think what this place may be if the contributers to this site were offended so easily.
