Thanks for your contribution, but if I had wanted to hear from somebody with your IQ, I'd be at my local supermarket talking to the vegetables, you dumb piece of shit.

I didn't say it was CP, but retarted to post a pic of kid focusing on his genetical in an adult webmasters forum.

No, in this day and age there is no room for grey area. Too many fuckin whackos out there. 10 years ago, shit, 5 years ago that might have been acceptable. But in the world of today, posting a picture of a childs penis is not OK. If you allow that then you're contributing to the problem of CP on the internet. ZERO tolerance IS necessary.

ugly shit, indeed. :(

Zero tolerance is an excuse to not think. Zero tolerance leads to stupid shit like kids getting kicked out of school over asprin.

besides you could get in big trouble

It's not a question of 'zero tolerance'. 'AdnerAdvertising' hotlinks 2-4 images in every thread he posts in (most likely doesn't know what that is). He went looking for a picture of a small penis as a gag and posted a 6-9 year old kid.

In the thread I started that pointed out the problem Darkjedi though it was OK to repost it and whore for sigviews.

Darkjedi, if you really think you can post nude photo's of young children on this message board... Start some threads. They'll get you more attention than you can ever imagine.

Since your so clever. When the childrens clinic comes looking for who is draining their bandwidth you'll be able to prepare a statement for Adult.com.

So far you've stated:
'It wasn't an arousing pic of a prepubescent boy's genitals'

I'm not sure where you think your going with this but it's a huge liability risk for the forum to let people post photo's like this.

dude, you've been on GFY for 4 years
you should know that such stuff is posted on a regular basis here. only noobs who registered in 2004 get worked up over it.

to the moron who says clinics' bandwidth is being drained:
it's their own businees to protect content from hotlinkers, just like its parents's business to protect their kids from online porn.

you place password protection on your paysites members area, right ? and if you dont want people to hotlink you protect your content with htaccess too. so there.

50 need to be banned mofos

BAN

Honestly I don't recall similar pics and I read a large # of threads on daily basis. If this wasn't an adult webmasters bbs I wouldn't have made such thread, but it's a whole different world.

When your computer caches a thumb version of the pic without knowing it, it can get you in serious future problems in case you get investigated for whatever reason. Good luck then to prove/explain what's the picture and how it found in your computer. There's a series of articles at YNOT where a content provider was having legal issues for 4-5 years because he couldnt prove the age of a picture found in the cache of his browser. His life got destroyed and that's not science fiction. "Ethical" society doesnt have the time or the will to listen to a pornographer you know.

Another ban for sure!

I don't pay too much attention to 'webmaster' boards but I haven't seen something like that posted on any of them in the last 7 or 8 years.

Surely you don't mean it's the parents business to protect their kids photo's from being used on adult websites?

If such stuff is posted on a regular basis then I guess something needs to be done about it, don't you?

With that attitude it makes me think you really don't have a clue about WHY it is such a big issue.

Let's put it into perspective.

Image of young boys penis posted on ADULT webmaster forum.

Regardless of what the context of the thread was or the content of the image itself, just the action of having that image on this forum is enough to stir up every porn hater that hears about it. Do we, as adult webmasters, really need more shit to contend with in our business? Don't you think we, as adult webmasters, need to get our shit together and clean up this industry before the government locks us all in jail for trying to make a living?

There are some big names on this board, don't you think that image (or anything similar) on this board is just what the feds would like to see so they can make a big media deal about it and destroy the entire industry? Regardless of whether it was CP or not, do the feds need hard proof that it was? No, they can spin one simple action into a huge scandal in 5 minutes or less.

Am I paranoid? Probably, but I'd rather be paranoid and safe than careless and jailed.

Think about it...
