| Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2005 5:45 pm Post subject: Should this thread and link be removed |
|
|
I have to say personaly I am not happy with this post and the link Brother has provided.
http://www.talkcyprus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16247#16247
However this is not my site, but our site so I guess a vote is in order (though possibly on a subject such as this there should be seperate consent from both the male and female commuites of the forum?).
Firstly the link is to me 'blatant spam' and thus against the newly minted rules / guidelines. Secondly I personaly do not feel such links from this site are apporpriate for the forum. I also find the site linked to is little more than a 'cliched' male fanatsy that demeans women in general and to a degree men by extension. Maybe I am just an old prude, I don't know?
Anyway I could as admin, simply summarily remove the thread and or link. However that is not how I wish this site to be run. I could of and nearly did talk privately with brother about this and come to some agreed compromise. However I think we may as well get a test of the waters from all members that want to express an opinion, so I have made this poll. |

Can i add that the mentioned thread is not intended to be porn and as i have no affiliation with the site i am not spamming, i felt it could be light humour in that the breasts shown are grossly over sized and would be a laugh but in view of my caring about my forum buddies i did not want to offend anyone hence my putting a note about PM me for removal if it is found offensive.
I apreciate the level headed approach taken by Erolz on the matter and starting this poll. |

Thanks bro, I appreciate your response to my response :)
On the issue of spam, whilst I never had any doubt that you had no 'realtionship' with the site, one definition of spam is unsolicited promotion of sites / services. I did not solicit this information and am not aware that anyone esle did either. I do not come to these forums to get links to 'adult sites' - I have much better sources for such links ;)
(PM if you want to solicit such links :) ) |

well, to be honest I was still sitting here, thinking whether I should express my personal dissapointment on brothers (imo) lack of taste to him via PM.
This is not on the matter itself (thats personal likes/dislikes) but on his "behaviour" by posting it here.
I'm not offended, I just believe its not appropriate, or at least not in a forum like ours. I see no need in promoting such sites. They get more than enough visitors without such action.
Sorry, Bro' dear. |

| You gotta admit brother. If one of those girls, especially the ones with the gigantic ones,accidentally rolled over on you in the night the chances of suffocation are exremely high. This is the only descriptive comment I will make on the subject and I again exercise my right to envoke my 5th amendment privelege. 8) |
