It's every member's forum and this one may come down to a case of the majority.
Putting on member hat:
I am so sensitive to images, that in order to stay here, I had to find the code to turn off these jumping, swirling, and dancing avatars and emoticons in Firefox. Then when I found the vBulletin button to turn off avatars and get them out my field of vision while I read messages I did that too. I miss the beautiful ones, but there are a few I don't miss at all. It was worth it. I no longer have to hang a folded newspaper on the left side of my monitor when reading some threads.
While I'm participating in this forum, I don't want to look at naked women, or even 7/8th naked women. I don't want to look at cats with devilish eyes, or wicked looking old crones. I don't want to look at deviant art or watch sexual performances where a woman sticks her bare foot in a man's mouth and pours an alcohol beverage down her leg.
I would think those who are on THIS forum that want to look at deviant art are in the minority. Forums are interest specific. I'm not going to join a knitting or cooking forum either. So one way or another, voluntarily or otherwise - this deviant art ends now, or I will take my leave of this place.

Okay gloves off...
We became "too understanding...too accepting"
Pablo brought the girls in the bar......the nipple pics...then the full frontal fondling herself..
Now I am no prude.....If I want to go to a strip bar...I'll pay for that
If I want to grow in spirit...I come here
If I want to learn from scientific minds on the fringe...I come here
If I want religion shoved down my throat...I'll go see father down at my catholic church
The boundaries are wide...but they are there
Karen...you are people just like us....How accepting can you be as a moderator??
You guys probably have little guidance and this is not your fault but neither can it go on.
If we can't make a stand here...how can we make a stand out in the world??
We trust that if we get out of hand a little or get a little heated...you guys do need to step in
But when a member does not contribute to the reason for this place....are they just taking up room??
I'm guilty of one liners....Plenty
but I also take long pauses and think of what I'm going to write
and Ask myself every time
Am I giving knowledge
or
Am I sharing spirituality
how many times have a picked up a golden nuggets from someone posting using those same questions??
We do need shepherds Karen......
Peace
