What happened? It doesn't seem to exist there anymore.

I don't moderate Other - or usually view such threads - but I do know that, from time to time, people who should know better contrive to push the envelope with the pictures that they post.

Deletions, moves, locks, suspensions etc almost inevitably result when said envelope is pushed beyond tolerance levels.

Maybe one of the mods involved can reply here if you give the thread title and some indication of when it went AWOL.

Groucho

Non-sequitur thread is still there:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/other-talk/...t-5-alive.html

Random picture post 26 is missing, though. Seems like it was there yesterday because I remember posting a picture of my junk to it:

Lemmy

I don't think it's gone; it might be too small to see.

bigsoos

I wanted to see the girl in the blue dress again

Groucho's title is as close as I can remember. The names were random per thread.

Groucho

It was "Super Bowl XXVI" or somesuch

X

It was removed because it takes too long to clean out all the nipple, crotch, upskirt, and other types of shots that we haven't allowed on the forum since the Adult Forum left.

There have been plenty of warnings about those types of pictures in the past. Since this type of thread obviously takes close monitoring because people can't stay within our posting guidelines I'm not sure it's worth having anymore.

Bandoman

I venture into those threads occasionally, and I'm always surprised to see borderline (or not so borderline) NSFW pics. The rule is quite clear, and it's not like there aren't one or two other places on the internet to go to see nekkid wimmins.

I have never seen a picture there that is any worse than what constantly pops up on DVD covers at the top of every page. Seems a bit hypocritical.

The Cow

I googled for 'nekkid wimmins'. I'm very disappointed.

Dr Mabuse

Well damn... I figured some of the same three or four jack asses who KEPT posting pics of chicks would cost us that thread.

I would have preferred they all got like a long 'vacations' or a ban instead of the thread going, but I understand the situation.

Over and over again we would get it back to cool pics after X tried to be reasonable about it, and the very same jackasses would start with chick pictures again after a while.

Sucks...

The Cow

Not sure it would matter, but can we fire it back up again with some kind of warning in the thread title?

Or is it just to a point where it's not worth dealing with?

Dr Mabuse

X has already done a shitload of warnings, and it was always the same three or four morons who kept getting back to 'hot chicks'.

If we are lucky enough to get it going again I'll try to make the moderating easy by reporting the stuff as it's posted, maybe some others will too. If a vacation or ban followed each report, maybe the children would finally wise up.

There were so many cool images posted in that thread.

so it goes

Those threads have always been my favorites here at dvdtalk, I am going to really miss them if they are gone for good. I thought about reporting a few things that were posted but never did, probably should have.
So many good pictures that I have shared with friends have come from these threads in the past, I wish there was a way we could keep them going.

zombeaner

I still think X goes overboard with the decision making on these threads. Granted, it has been a while since this happened, but still, it seems pretty puritanical to me when it does happen.

spainlinx0

Whatever. I enjoyed the threads because it was a mix of cool pictures and hot chicks. I didn't think anything was that bad.

Numanoid

What the hell is The Edit King going to do with the spare six hours a day he has available now that the random picture threads are gone?

twikoff

thread in feedback forum discussing it

too many posts in it that broke the rules, they decided it was easier to delete than clean up.. as they handed out the suspensions..

twikoff

the nsfw pictures has definitly gone overboard
but i like those threads.. lots of funny/weird/interesting pictures get posted.. if people could just follow the rules

hal9000

I wanted to post this question yesterday... but I feared something bad went down with that thread. Sooo... is somebody gonna fire up another one?

Heat

Dang.

Anybody have the picture of the girl in the blue dress?

Numanoid

I get the feeling from X's posts in the Feedback thread that he'd rather not see them continue.

It would be much better if people could only post pictures of ugly chicks.
