Yup. I remember that. Bad choice of wording on my part with "image."

Wasn't trying to get into the debate here. Just trying to lighten the mood.

... Kenny, show me one thread that has a picture of a woman, full frontal nudity - just one.
Show me any thread that has exposed female genitalia - just one.

You cant.

Because it's not there. ...

George,
FYI, there have been quite a few of breasts.
Models, artsy, young ones.
Fewer of genitalia.

must have been late at night and immediately removed. I've never seen that on this board. Lots of bikini's, lots of suggestive poses, but I've never seen anything that was actually completely unveiled. Bottoms in thongs, I have seen, but I missed any actual nudity.

Look, I know a few - very few - pics over the line have been here. But always in a context that had already been started, and normally as a humorous response to something.

This thread started out with that picture and nothing else. No context, no message, no point at all. Just a naked Daniel Radcliffe with his dick hanging out. It was put there deliberately to be over the line and to provoke, one way or another. That is the key difference between this thread and anything else that has ever been posted here before.

There is no need for handwringing and questioning fairness here.

'Harry Potter Naked' does not constitute a concept with any potential for discussion.

Actually, it was "Harry Potter Naked?" Which was a real head scratcher.

I think if the thread has been entitled - 'Take a look at this boy's magic wand!' or possibly 'Where's Dobbie?' there might have been more serious, thought-out responses. As it was, the mysterie was lost from the outset, and we ended up peaking far too soon.

Another title which sprung to mind was 'Ride a cock-horse to Banbury cross', but that's just filthy.

Did you mean 'peaking', or 'peeking'? :lol:

Or he could have titled it "If Harry Potter carried a purse he could have covered his dick up!"

The picture was calculated for shock value- the picture- (Harry Potter, boy wizard, naked, except that now he is an adult).

Harry Potter Naked? I can't believe the actor who plays Harry Potter posed naked. I posted it knowing I would be moderated as a joke about the fact I am never moderated (as Dewey understood immediately).

That's all it meant. This will be my last post about it.

And all I meant was that was exactly what you did, so there was not point in overanalyzing whether or not moderating it was fair. Sherlock.

it would have been clever if he had titled it "Harry Potter Uncut". :leaving:

Just stating my opinion:

I didn't appreciate (read irritated) seeing that photo immediately upon opening the post. If I post anything that isn't work-safe or unfit for kids to see, I'd have the common decency to warn people first and I think that's well-known ad expected internet etiquette.

I completely support John's decision to moderate in this instance.

I would not want kids reading these pathetic threads where I am called a pervert over and over but I do not have a choice, eh?

As far as moderating- we don't moderate for common decency. We do not moderate for violating internet etiquette either.

I think people have gone a little over the edge in reacting to something I admitted was a joke in the first place.

There was nothing funny about seeing that picture with no warning and you should apologise to the forum as a whole and unreservedly.

IMO John didn't moderate due to a lack of internet etiquette and I never said nor implied that he did. I used the term, "internet etiquette" to refer to the idea of common courtesy we should be willing to extend to each other.

IMO, the image was moderated due to it being arguably classed as obscene and at best, entirely inappropriate for this forum.

Make no mistake, if I ever open a post from anyone and there's no warning, and the content is obscene, obectionable and/or inappropriate, I will call them on it, and report it to the moderator.

For the record, I did see the funny side of the picture when I moderated. I'm not sure I really want to encourage 'test the moderator' as a forum game, but it did make me laugh, in a kind of 'ooh, I think I brought up a bit of sick, there' kind of a way.

Just in case anybody didn't understand that, my mock outrage at the time was exactly that - sadly, this whole topic has become completely devoid from reality. I think it would be a very good idea to stop posting in the thread before one of the mods decides to close it, which will undoubtedly lead to about 15 threads about how the moderators are just like Himmler, except of course we don't have rimless specs. Sometimes I wish I was a bit more like Himmler - I bet he didn't have to put up with this much sh!t.

(This last remark, by the way, was a joke. I've never been a great admirer of Himmler. Even by the standards of the time, I think it's fair to say that he wasn't a very nice man)

In fairness to you, John.. I do think ol' Heinrich had some ah, persuasive techniques that you (I hope) do not possess. ^_^

Give me those and I'll be a moderator. :devilgrin:
