When I see jiggling, giggling boobies I get the urge to shake a leg...

Boobs make everyone happy.

Re: Giggling, Jiggling, Boobies

I wonder if the Mods would allow us to dedicate a thread to boobies ? If I wasn't allowed an avatar that may or may not have shown nipple, I doubt we will.. Maybe a discussion?

It would be the bitter end for anyone foolish enough to post pictures in the thread.

//End derail.

Re: Giggling, Jiggling, Boobies

I'm curious why a nipple wouldn't be allowed. Is it offensive? Is it against meta-rules (rules the forum's host required the forum's mods to enforce)? Is it damaging to young psyches? How about butt? Is butt offensive? Everyone has one, what's wrong with them? Society's treatment of body parts gives me mal de mer. Seriously, not allowing people to see them implies strongly that something's wrong with them, when we all know they're important parts. I wouldn't be surprised to find out common psychological issues are due to making people feel bad because they have these parts that are implied to be some ambiguous sort of evil.

Re: Giggling, Jiggling, Boobies

It wasn't in a pornographic sense either. It was art depicting natural beauty so I thought it would be plain sailing. I was wrong. I did ask if I could show my nipples, but they may have thought I was trolling.. Or sensed the a trap.

Oh well.

Re: Giggling, Jiggling, Boobies

I wonder if using nursing animal pics would also be offensive? Some of them also have nipples... :-) what about cows? Are cows ok?

This thread... it's really gone off topic. I guess we have to allow a little leeway considering the circumstances. As long as this thread doesn't get put in the booby hatch (cough splutter giggle) then it's fine...

No, well not the nude variety at least. That's what Reddit is for.

I never saw the photo in question, but I have been there myself. At one point this was my avatar, sans apples:

Spoiler

I added the apples of my own will a few days later, not because of mod commentary (there wasn't any), but because I recognized that it created awkward interaction.

There's actually little precedence for this issue to my knowledge, outside of my own endeavors. We recognize the difference between artful and pornographic nudity. Personally I don't mind, but I speak only for myself, not all madmin. You should also recognize the awkwardness involved, and that if madmin receive complaints, we'll be forced to take action. And yes, it was probably perceived to be trolling...

Nice mammaries U haz thar. Veiny

Actually dairy cows frequently have genetic mutations that can result in as many as 10+. There are plenty of cows with extra nipples.

Agreed. Will split ASAP.

Here's an applicable post by Ragnar from the Mod Box, circa 2010:

One of the great annoyances of vBulletin software is that it asks if one wants to adhere to COPPA, 'Use the COPPA registration system. This complies with the COPPA laws and requires children under the age of 13 to get parental consent before they can post.' Then upon one disabling it, not permitting the deletion of the user-group [ to which some new registrants are still assigned although it's non-operative... ] It adds a layer of complexity and demands that one should follow American moral standards.

Personally, I think pre-13 yr-olds shouldn't/don't want to join a forum which is not that suitable for their age. We may all like to imagine that we were especial at that age and had such vast intellects that this sort of thing would have had interest for us, but we weren't and hadn't; and neither do nearly all children surfing the internet.

Not to mention that even if they can't become members they can still read the threads as guests.

Personally, I will not permit links to pornography, paedophila, animal cruelty and discussions of serious perversions that one can find by chance on Google --- f'rinstance, I had to check the spelling of 'skewering' for a post here: the second link was of some fetish which involves fucking mad people men who apparently choose to insert meat skewers through their testicles. As a massive anti-puritan and severely self-centred person, I dislike judging others' lunacies, but I think such disturbed people should be gently shot just on general principles of harmony and wellness... Anyone seriously advocating such things or sadism, or even putting up those dreary pictures of girls being tied up and tortured needs to be banned.

But sex is... just sex.

As for all else, I don't care if anyone posts any ideas whatsoever, whether communist, liberal, neo-nazi, creationist, christian, conservative, zionist, holocaust denial, flat earther, libertarian, muslimist and anything else. Provided they are not looking for conversions and are not selling something [ like Forex sites ], To make any thought forbidden denies everyone the essence of being human.

For sex stuff, if it's gross, but not ban-worthy, the Oubliette always opens a hungry maw. O/W we can't be expected to worry about the moral welfare of children, hypothetical or real. Who are also lucky enough to be online, and not facing real problems such as starving in a sewer hunted by death-squads as provided by the police forces of several nations.

Ah damn, I expected pictures

Oh this was from the pirate invasion era.

What was the point of that, anyhow? Did somebody win? Was it me?

I think Scorned and I just got bored. Welcome back Space Yeti.
