pictures of girls in threads
I think we should have a discussion about just this topic. In my kidshtter thread, Mike Haven deleted the pics of the girl and sent the thread back. He gave me a satisfactory explanation of people in the poker world perhaps knowing this girl, and it didn't bother me too much.
However, in the future if I post more trip reports (and I will), am I allowed to post rehosted pictures of girls or other people who aren't aware their pic is being posted in the internet? Is this something only mods aren't allowed to do? I'm not going to be too torn up if the decision is made that we can't, but I have the opinion that it should be allowed and is fine as long as the intention isn't to trainwreck someone and trainwrecking isn't encouraged. It's a lot of fun and makes a story a lot better. -nation |

Re: pictures of girls in threads
if its your personal pic I dont see why you need permission to post it. You are allowed to do that on facebook and you can have an open profile. I just dont see any legal reasons why you shouldn't be allowed but I may be mistaken.

Re: pictures of girls in threads
nation,
"satisfactory explanation of people in the poker world perhaps knowing this girl" WTF? I don't see any reason why the pics in your thread should have been deleted and strongly disagree w/ Mike's action, regardless of whether or not the statement above is true. I think pictures in threads like that are excellent, and frankly just about the only thing that makes them interesting. I also think that threads like that are classless, but that's a whole different issue. |

I think pictures in threads like that are excellent, and frankly just about the only thing that makes them interesting. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. The masses clamor for pics in threads about "I banged X" and spend almost as much time dissecting the pic as they do addressing the rest of the thread. However, how or if a thread like that one opens 2+2 up to liability issues relative to the content of the thread (vivid descriptions of certain nuded-up activity) is something that I have no clue about. It clearly makes those threads way more interesting. Also, it's unclear to me - and maybe some can comment - what sort of decorum a moderator of this forum should hold himself to. For example, is nation's thread less responsible in his current role as a mod than it was before he lost that survivor to Dominic? I've already got guys like adsman PMing me like "you've changed since you became a mod, I can tell you wonder if every post you make is crossing some sort of line", and I told him WTF but he's not entirely off. |

Re: pictures of girls in threads
tug,
There's pretty much no legal liability at all. As I said above, I think they are classless and it makes me think the poster is a sleazeball, but I don't think there's any reason for 2+2 to edit them at all unless the information is false and the person in question requests the thread be removed. |

[/ QUOTE ] Generally, the standard of behavior for mods is the same as for users. NT! rips on users all the time, but that's ok because ripping on people is standard in OOT. The only real exception is that we shouldn't abuse our mod powers: don't post people's e-mail addresses, IP addresses or user notes. Personally, I like to be a little more civil than I otherwise would in my forum, but that's up to you. |

[/ QUOTE ] I am a big fan of having a second account for posting 'in the gray areas'. People can even know that our mod account and the second account are the same person. I think our mod account 'is an official representative of 2+2' and should follow the highest standards. I don't think our mod account should belittle other posters, dole out negative titles, link to 'soft porn' or other things that do not reflect well on 2+2.

Re: pictures of girls in threads
Jim Kuhn,
Is your other account Bi-Tor? Please tell me it's not. Your solution is interesting but it also sounds like a huge PITA. If I were to log onto a second account, every post in the forums I was reading becomes marked read, which drives me crazy (this is why I have to set Firefox to auto-refresh every few minutes, because if I'm idle for ~45 minutes it does this automatically). Although this forum doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic, I was hoping for more discussion on this. Maybe it will develop. In the meantime, I hope that a sig exception has been made for you and you don't type "Thank you, Jim Kuhn, Catfish4u, colonspadecolon-colondiamondcolon-colonclubcolon-colonheartcolon" every time because that just seems exhausting. EDIT: guess you could just click the little icons below the box too. i r dumb. Still, it seems like a lot of work. |

Re: pictures of girls in threads
My opinion is that photos of people are fine unless they are used in a matter that would likely hurt the person. So a photo with a post that says "OMG, check out the hottie that I went on a date with" is fine in my book, but "OMG look at the chick I nailed, she sat on my face and wiggled for hours" is probably offensive to her and her reputation so therefore it shouldn't be ok unless she was in on the thread. Its really in poor taste. People in some highschools have been expelled due to this type of behavior on My Space/Face Book so there is a social precedence that there are ramifications, of course I think that goes a bit far since all we have to do is discourage this.
What if the shoe was on the other foot, where some chick you weren't proud of sleeping with made a post with photos about her sexual experience with her? Now imagine if you where the girl. Does that help see why its not so cool? i don't know, maybe its something you come to terms with as you get older... I did some pretty dumb stuff when I was 21 too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
