Slut in the screenshots... -Sigh-

Published on May 24, 2003 By EventHorizon In WinCustomize Talk

I hate to do this, but....

I have noticed lately, that there have been a lot of unsavory additions to the screenshots library. I emailed Jafo about this and he deleted a number of them, but of course, they still keep comin' in. B1uesummers in particular with some others coming SS Goku etc. I am wondering if maybe screenshots arent obliged to go through moderation...That could be a prob.

To see what im talkin about go to... https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=1973 Ok fine, thats just one, but ive been watchin the screenshots for a while and I dont like what I see...One IS worth removing so that we dont have little kids paying visits to the screenshots and saying, "Mommy, mommy, look at that!..."

Now some of you may not agree with me...(People's moral standards being different and all)...but I dont think its right for a "family site" to be displaying this kind of crap. Basically what Im asking is, could someone please remove the ones you see fit and to make sure these people dont do it again.

I would rather they keep those screenshots, they are peoples personal preferences and should be allow as such, I also have an Animee picture on my desktop and various others for variety, and find them quite relaxing to look at.

If you don't like them, nobody is forcing you to look.

This is an applications skinning site. It is not people magazine, its not maxim magazine, its not japanese animated art website.

"This site is a community site. As such, we expect users to behave with honor and integrity. Treat the person you post to or comment on a skin to as if they are sitting next to you. Picture this place as a nice, comfortable resort surrounded by friends." Wincustomize

Its not about censorship its about your friend sitting next to you that is offended by it and is no longer comfortable about a situation. Help him/her out. Its like CAPS LOCK YELLING or cursing. no one's censoring you from doing it at all. We just ask that you refrain from it while you are here.

"One mans slut is another mans art."

I think that is a tad simplistic .....

and I would have to agree that title of the thread is more offensive than the wall in question.

Ok, so the word 'Slut' is more offensive than soft porn?

I don't see any full upper body nudity in any of them, so its not soft porn. I think you're taking your definitions a little too far here for real comfort...

This is an applications skinning site. It is not people magazine, its not maxim magazine, its not japanese animated art website.

Its another thing too, a PUBLIC forum run by a private company for people to share their art, skins, and ideas. So your point is moot.

Softcore Pornography: It is no hardcore explicit sex, no penetration, focused on nudity and simulated sex.

Just so we have have a basis to work from

And why may I ask, are you doomgaze so interested in defending wincusto?

Why are you so interested in censoring other people's work?

You seem a bit uptight about all this.

Definitions, definitions, you know what I mean.

Just answer my question

Doomgaze

Because you seem WAY too concerned about someone's anime background than you should be.

Its not about defending WC, its about defending authors who'd like to post what they see fit, and obviously, the admins see it as fit.

You on the other hand act as though its a huge offense to every god loving citizen who comes to this board.

Now answer my question.

Just because I dont think its *right*.

Ok fine mebby its not truly 'soft porn'...but its pretty d*mn close.

Any more 'revealing' and it would be.
