Justme: Good Call.

Caroline: I'm liberal minded. I read the threads & saw the pic. IMO the pic is beautiful. A personal keeper for you Caroline, for sure. You'll smile looking at it when you're 30, 40 and 50 (I can see Dol & Deb nodding too). You're very attractive and young. Hang on to your esteem, confidence & sexuality. These are things to be proud of.

We're a good group of people. Unfortunately, there are outsiders that lurk here. And some could be/would be carry overs from back when we were at PW. I'd give the same advice to anyone who posts pics or reveals intimate details of themselves: Be careful. And if you link yourself (or your family) anywhere to your email or blogs, think twice to who you could be inviting into your life.

What is MP's age?

If she is a minor the pic was not cool.
If an adult then no big deal to me.

16ish-17ish, IIRC.

In America she is a minor.
Is she in America?

She is a minor. Although I think I mentioned it first, I think Miss Caroline is perfectly capable of protecting herself. HOWEVER.. that would not necessarily protect Jgoo legally if someone were to see the pic and turn him in. That would be the more likely scenario, IMO.

What does age have to do with it at all? No matter what the age, those kind of pictures can bring trouble to anyone who posts them.

Age has a lot to do with it.
Underage is illegal.

And I don't disagree about the trouble such a pic could bring.

Does this mean I can't post my watermelons anymore? :weeping:

Well, Caroline's pic was very sexual, which is the concern here.

I'm sorry, but your picture wasn't quite as arousing. :wink:

In England, as I have already written, she is not.

it's not that it was a big deal, Kenny, it wasn't a big deal sort of pic

It's more an issue of whether it's a good idea, not an issue of illegality or immorality. A moderated board has (and should have) a different standard of posting than just 'anything that's legal'. There are, as Katie pointed out, a load of places where people post pics of themselves that would not be appropriate in other places. I am really really REALLY not a prude...but if this was to become one of the places where people routinely posted pics of themselves in various stages of undress, I would vacate. I've seen, and been seen, but that is not what I come to this forum for.

On the internet, by the way, it doesn't matter what the law is where the image is generated. It matters what the law is where it is downloaded.

I understand the potential seriousness.
And since she is underage I of course support the decision to take it down.
I'm not arguing for it to be put back up.

etc etc etc
blah blah blah

But this little corner of the Internet is named "The New Coffee Room".
It is not named "girlsinundiesdotcom" or something.

Is it likely or even possible that some creep would stumble into our forum?
If so, how?
Do these type of pics send out some kind of electronic scent or something?
I mean how would anyone but us know it was here?
Or is the concern that one of US doesn't have both hands on the keyboard, so to speak?

I'm just asking.
I'm not arguing that it should not have been taken down.
Please don't kill me. :hide:

8 guests.
So.

What are the odds a psychokillermolesterstalker is patientlypaitently reading through 10,000 of our stupid threads waiting for an underage girl to post naughty pics in an unrelated forum like this?

Really :rolleyes:

You're right, the odds of somebody recognizing her and stalking her are very little.

But seriously, does MP really want just any old stranger saving pictures of herself to his/her computer? If so, then she needs to find another place to show off her body. I doubt that was her intent. I don't really know what the intent was, but if it was just for the eyes of a few it should have been kept as such through a PM/email.

Actually, Kenny - whoever made the comment about jgoo getting into hot water was on to something. Allowing a beautiful but pretty sexually suggestive photo of an underage (for this country) member to stay posted on an internet forum that you run is not a good idea.

Now, half-clothed photos of middle aged avatars are a completely different story. :hair: :D

I agree Jodi.
To me that is the only issue here, her being under 18.

Otherwise it was harmless fun.

it's a *good* question, Kenny...the truth of the matter is, I have enough expertice, not just experience, to answer it. I was a sysop on Compuserve for many years. Those were closed membership forums, much more so than this one is. It was back in the days where you had to belong to Compuserve itself in order to participate in the forums. It is quite amazing what you don't know about the people who read the boards but don't post. It's sometimes even *more* amazing what you don't know about the people who post on a regular basis. The internet is a medium that is rife with sociopathic personalities. It's very easy for people to be 'somebody else' when they're typing. I remember hosting trivia chat conferences where, over the course of an hour's light entertainment it would become obvious that a 20 something woman who had posted frequently about herself, her likes, her dislikes, what she did for a living, her family etc, would quite clearly turn out to be a guy, more likely in his late 40s-early 50s than the cute little lady he had been pretending to be.

Think about the socks in this place. People can be pretty weird sometimes and you really don't know the ones you think you know a lot of the time. The only smart thing to do is err on the side of caution.
