I blame Janet Jackson.

Perhaps the nsfw image threads could be moved to the Premium section? At the very least it's hidden from the general public that read the boards, and with it being a pay section you know everyone viewing it is at least over 18. And Lord knows the Premium section can use the traffic...

Thanks for your feedback...Please note that the mods/admins do not police the advertisements as such - but will pass on to IB member comments regarding specific covers should anything NSFW (or otherwise objectionable) appear in the rotation. I would advise caution about "crying wolf", however. Anyhoo, given that this very topic has been discussed at length before, I suggest anyone with strong feelings should look through the old threads and post a detailed argument rather than start up the whole thing from scratch. I can then refer any constructive criticism to IB for comment. But I'm not holding my breath and any sort of descent into "ya, boo, it sucks and isn't fair" can only have one result.I think it was decided some time ago that the same rules applied in Premium as elsewhere and that it was not going to be an Adult forum under a new guise. I've also heard tell that Paypal won't be associated with such content although I cannot say whether this is reliable information.

I had a feeling this was going to happen, for the same reasons that you posted. Every once in a while, X would get people back on track, but then it would degenerate into pictures of women, for the sole purpose of showing how attractive they were. It would be one thing if it was newbies doing that, but it was people who have been warned multiple times.

It's unfortunate, as there were a lot of cool pictures being posted, but it doesn't surprise me in the least.

It's our own fault for not reporting the few objectionable posts, the ones with visible naughty bits.

I know the mods are underpaid and overworked, but most of the thread was a lot of fun, and I wish a couple of suspensions were the end result instead of a thread delete.

But then, I think no post should ever be deleted, outside of really extreme circumstances. Just delete the offending text/pic and posters, not entire posts or threads.

now i really want to see these "girl in a blue dress" pictures...

Well

There were some cool & funny pics in there.

You really should get rid of the NSFW tag since anything NSFW really isn't safe for DVDTalk, or make it a NSFDVDT tag to make it easy to remove the offending things.

I didn't think any of the pics I posted were deserving of the warning I received, but I'm sorry if I caused the closing of the thread in any way. (though nothing I posted was worse than some of the GIFs that are still in that thread)

This kind of wanton prurience is beyond the pale. No wonder threads are being closed. Cleavage and wrists exposed. What's next?

Dead bloodly bleeding deer = OK!
PG rated shot of girl = BANNED!

Glad I dropped my premium subscription. This was a poor moderation decision.

They show labia in PG movies now?

Post reported, profanity is not safe at work!

The thread was closed that talked about this issue.

About this picture.

Thnak you for your feedback.I believe that there was more than one such thread and my suggestion was to read them and then post a detailed argument. I did not suggest bumping the threads or that a rational argument was unwelcome in this one. I did suggest avoiding the "it's not fair" type of posting that doesn't advance matters.

I've notified the cover you cited to IB for attention/comment, thank you. It may be that we'll need to find a dedicated email address for such notifications directly to whoever its is at IB that monitors the ads.

EDIT: on checking, I see that the reference was to a cover-picture cited in one of the earlier threads but it may be that the referral will generate IB concern/interest regardless of age.

If someone showed labia, are they banned? Was someone that stupid? Why delete a whole thread over someone posting bad pics? Delete the pic/post, ban/suspend the user, done.

So what is the verdict on starting up a new one? That one had about reached it's typical limit anyway.

Me too. Can someone post it over at xcritic? There is a random pic thread in the other section.

There was a random picture thread, but it seems to have disappeared.
Did it leave any clues behind?

Read this.

Deleting the thread seems a bit extreme. I rather enjoyed that thread for the 99% of the pictures that did not wander outside the nebulous bounds of DVDTalk decency rules.

If you want to see the girl in the blue dress, I'm sure you could find it in google cache or archive.org...

There it goes!

Was the one girl in the blue dress photo that was posted against the rules or something? I'm not even sure why that even keeps coming up.

What's that....?
