Ok, so there are a lot of fakes posted on this site, and revenge pics, and pics of minors, and even suggestive pics including animals as seen this weekend and again reposted as recently as today.

As well as numerous other infractions of the “rules” which go unenforced by and large simply because in the words of one mod “the Mods are working their asses off”, clearly implying that they have no bandwidth to be checking each alerted pic which is entirely understandable since they also have to “police” numerous other areas of the site including chat and status for infractions of a multitude of other rules.

To be clear, and I want to be specifically clear on this, I do not hold the mods in any way responsible for the large number of illegal (according to the strict letter of the “rules” pics, how could they be reasonably expected to reverse image search, crop, flip, rotate the pics that are alerted here, let alone the ones they surely suspect themselves as fake, under age, revenge or whatever. Select 3 or 4 items yourself from the menu below and ask yourself if you could do all of this while simultaneously monitoring other active areas of the site, including this forum.

Your pictures / videos are not welcome, and will be removed if they:
* Contain minors (under 18 years)

* Are otherwise of poor photographic quality (eg: very low resolution or over / under exposed)
* Are a "revenge" pic (such as a pic posted by an ex boyfriend to embarrass the subject)

* Are photos of self harm or harm inflicted to others that involves obvious real injury to the subject
* Depict any illegal activities.
* Attempt to directly solicit the viewer to the user's profile.
* Duplicates/reposts - members want to see new content not re-used pics. The occaisonal re-post is ok but if we see that you are continually/habitually re-posting photos or videos then those reposts may be removed.
* A candid photo of a man or woman that does not have deliberate intent of being sexy will be removed.


There’s a lot of rules there detailing what pics are not deemed permissible but the fact is very few of these are enforced, or at best mostly not enforced. In other words the law is unenforceable, meaning it essentially may as well not exist.

“An unenforced law (also symbolic law) is a crime which is illegal, but is usually not penalized by a jurisdiction. It is a law which is usually ignored by law enforcement, therefore such laws have no consequences”

The bold italic underlined section is the important thing to understand, users of this site, both paying and nonpaying, verified and non verified have exactly the same posting rights when it comes to all aspects of public posting, pics, comments etc, with only some limitation on new status posts for example and can also post with relative impunity due to the lack of policing. Again, I don’t blame the uniformed troops on the ground with their shiny black sheriff badges, but the Mayor of the city who decides on the policy and the policing of their jurisdiction.

So, to quote a mod again (one who I have huge respect and time for by the way, so sorry if you don’t like being quoted)... “you want change? Go to the man who can make the change”

So here I am, and this is an effort to outline my problem statement. And it’s not just mine, there are many others too.

So the first question Mr NN is, what is your stated policy... do you want fakes, revenge pics, hints of xxxxxxxxxx, under age pics or do you want your rules enforced?
And do you value a community of people willing to bare their souls and, I’m neatly avoiding a bad pun here, a whole lot more over yet another cesspit repository of the best and worst the internet has to offer under one roof?

If you need help to flush the toilet here, you most certainly will find it. But inaction I’m afraid might very well culminate in people voting with their virtual feet and more importantly not virtual currency.

I have some proposed solutions, if you’re interested in hearing them, but based on what I’ve been hearing it’s not likely you are. Prove them wrong?
