That said, I appreciate your apology, which for the most part does sound sincere.

Just give me a few months to cool down.

livewire is required by law to not have pornography on it because there are minors who use it

the line of what is and isn't pornography has been redrawn

you can take your nanny state paranoia and shove it

I suppose that's got more hope for me in it then Sam's answer.

I have no idea what's going on because I don't give a flying fuck about what happens beyond the protection of LMoY. You're all fucking idiots and I won't deal with your crap.  

  So something happened and you saw a bunch of naked pictures. Who gives a shit? You're on the internet and can only imagine the vast majority of you have (voluntarily) stumbled across porn, or have at least had the state-regulated sexual education classes and know what a penis and a vagina are and how they interact. And if you're too naive for even that, then you're probably naive enough to have fallen for trolls showing Lemon Party, Meatspin, Tubgirl, Goatse, and the whole plethora of lude content on the internet.  

  So some mods tried to make a point. Things went awry and now they're apologizing. Grow some fucking balls/tits and get over it and yourselves. You are not fucking royalty here (or anywhere really), so stop expecting the mods to bend over backwards just to kiss your ass that your mommy probably recently wiped for you. If you can't cope with it, get the fuck out. Because no one wants to hear your dribble about how you're offended and life is unfair and so on and so forth.  

  Today is my last day of work, and I was happy, up until I saw all you wankers tromping all over someone for trying to do the right thing, just because it temporarily clashed with your simplistic ideologies. But now I'm all worked up over your ignorance.  

  Cue the "calm down get a grip" replies, while I go back to ignoring you.

 are you seriously saying that you got upset by something that happened on a forum

---

No. Your inability to separate the big picture from the small picture (i.e. "forum posting" vs "sociological inadequacies") shows to me you're an idiot. But I'll clarify things anyways.

I'm angry that not only are we as a society progressing more and more into a Nanny State, but that more and more people are wanting a Nanny State. Which is exactly what's happening when we're told that we're not allowed to post nude art because it's not "safe" or "approved" content. We're all suffering because your parents/guardians can't be bothered to tell you the difference between art and pornography, and therefore nudity has become synonymous with pornography.

So yes, I'm angry because of a forum, but only because the forum has shown that you're making society worse and worse.

i don't understand can you elaborate more

LMFAO.

Would it be too overly cliche for this:

"Internet: serious business"

Yes?  Oh well.  Nothing sums it up quite as well

that's one of the largest logical jumps i've seen in a while

livewire is required by law to not have pornography on it because there are minors who use it

the line of what is and isn't pornography has been redrawn

you can take your nanny state paranoia and shove it

---

Idiot.

-  To disallow any form of nudity in avatars  
-  To disallow any form of nudity in image baskets.  
-  To allow nudity (as a link from an external site) if it is present in a reasonable form in art in the midst of a legitimate discussion of art. (No Photographs)

---

"Any form of nudity" obviously includes many famous works of art. Under LW's new guidelines, these are considered pornographic, which is what you pointed out.

By labeling nude art as pornographic, and therefore "unsafe", it promotes the ideas of a Nanny State.

You can take your piss-poor arguing "skills" and shove it.

livewire is not a government
it is not a country
it is not a nation
and it is not a democracy

it is subject to us law

Personally i don't see what the big deal is. I don't know why some people are getting so uptight about this. You have apologised that is all you can do. It's over. Done.

i think this bears quoting.

webmasters aren't expected to keep track of who uses their site, that would be impossible without a psychic, that just have to make sure everyone who shares personal information claims to be 13+, legally.

edit; Actually i'm sure there is some law that you have to claim to be eighteen to see PORN consiering youtube and the entereance of porn sites

still though, none-pornographic nudity is fine, have you seen Wikipedia bro???

could you please show me the law that says that if minors use your website you can't have porn on it?

You are not allowed to view porn until you are 18 in the UK and 21 in most states for america.

That said this art isn't porn, we change the guidelines on them because people pushed the boundaries.
