b) I know that there is a chance of something flashing up that might offend people around me

A fact that seems lost on many here ...

and the majority of regular posters agree with it,

There doesn't appear to be a majority either way ...

I've got to put LS on ignore - assuming I can find the function, since I've never used it before.

[/ QUOTE ]
Find one of his posts (plenty in this thread) - click on his name and it'll show his profile - there is a link to "Ignore this user" on the bottom right of his profile...

Alternative method is to get your browser to block images from his domain - as LS uploads them to his own webspace before posting on here. But obviously that is a per machine setting rather than per user login ...
 
I find it astonishing that so many people are having their PC screens monitored by easily-offended workmates.
It is quite unacceptable that a wet-behind-the-ears, Politically Correct-brainwashed, graduate-entrant, Human Resources clone working for ABC Plc in Slough is able to exercise an influence on what I post to for delight and delectation of (many) forumites worldwide.
I carry on saying this:
The levels of nudity (ie: None) that were agreed for use in the open Scuttlebutt forum are way below what you will see as you walk into any newsagent or see on TV any night of the week.
No nipples, no genitals, no pubic hair, no "touching" no implied sex acts. All sounds pretty innocuous to me.
I don't feel the need to post pictures of attractive (or on occasion the opposite) people, but I get feedback form others who enjoy the humerous use of such pics. The argument, if that is what it is, that you can go elsewhere to see such images resonates more with suggesting that forumites who wish to berate other races or religions can nip off to the BNP site or similar or to a World Histiry site or a Politics Today site for other discussions which seem to pop up on Scuttlebutt.
The use of pics( mainly with a nautical connection) of women in swimsuits has a very boaty flavour. I also post images of landscapes, boats, wildlife, engines, cars, steamtrains, people, in fact anything and everything, but only one specific subject raises some people's hackles.

It's my feeling that it's not me that has an obsession with such images.

From what they have been saying in their posts it seems that is exactly why they feel that way. It's the oppressive feeling that someone else is judging you.

Still no-one is responding to the fact that the images you are all feeling queasy about are about as "Blue Peter" as it gets.
 
OK, whatever. You obviously have a deep need to post your stuff.

Post your tits and bums as much as you like and I'll stick you on ignore, then we'll both be happy. I really don't care enough to try and make you change your mind.
 
Re: Problem Solved

LakeSailor, if for no other reason, if you have any respect for your fellow forumites general feelings, then you would gracefully accept the concensus.... it has nothing to do with being within forum guidelines or making any sort of stand against any sort of censorship, it is simply respecting the feelings of others. So do you respect us enough to accept this?
 
I don't think they are quite "Blue Peter" (although their agenda is changing so who knows? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
but I think a lot of people on here haven't been in a newsagents later. Several tabloid newspapers and some of the "celebrity" type magazines carry these type of pictures, and worse (better?), and these are left around in the workplace with little problem.
 
Re: Problem Solved

Oops ... Sorry!! Should've posted a link instead... I'll see if I can amend it... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
I see a business opportunity here. Knickerbockers for dogs and cats and frilly covers for table legs.
It worked for the Victorians.

Lakey,

41 out of 80-odd who could be bothered to vote reckon that your "artistic" shots should be left in the lounge. That's not some spotty faced HR 'erbert, it's people on here.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yet at the same time the majority of votes for the first question seem to imply that most people find the pictures acceptable in scuttlebutt after all...
 
At the end of the day it is all academic - some people seem to think this is a democracy and it isn't. It is a commercial concern and what the owners want, is what is allowed - Lakey is allowed to post these pictures and he will probably continue to do so.
