I fell that P-O-P should NOT have apologized for others actions. They should be FORCED to apologize for their childish actions + abuse of power(s).

Thank god we don't have you for an admin then.

your apology offends me more than any of your previous actions. I really wish mods would stop being such pussies.
Ditto.

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed.

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

You've seriously damaged something that the other 30 of us have worked tirelessly for years to build up. I know that I haven't been trying my damnedest for nearly three years to put the trust, respect and decency into moderating just for my efforts to be mindlessly tossed aside in a few hours.

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

Just give me a few months to cool down.


You guys have built up fuck all, nobody respects any of it.

FIRST!  
NO nudity allowed. I don't f-ing understand why people can not get that through their head! NO NUDITY!

Yet still people try to get around it!

SECOND!

If you want to see nudity, go to a porn site, or take off  
your clothes and look in the mirror. Don't bring it here. There are 13+ year olds who should not be exposed to those images. THAT IS WHY THE RULE(S) IS/ARE IN EFFECT!

The reason why there is no nudity allowed here, is not to hinder people from expressing their individuality/personality, etc. The internet is different from real life. There is nothing wrong with the human body.  
However, some images, such as pornographic images, do NOT portray the human body in a beautiful/tasteful way.
When you post pics like that on the internet, you have to have permission/qualifications to do that, (like a porn site, etc.)

THIS IS A TEEN SITE. look at the top of your browser.
IT SAYS: TEEN AND COLLEGE!!!

So 13-26 go here, the majority of which are under 21.
So I believe, that NO NUDITY is a good policy, including so-called "art" where some woman has her legs cocked open showing her disgusting, ungroomed bush. Just because it is painted, that does not make the image any less NUDITY/PORNOGRAPHY.

There is also a whole "abuse of power" thing that I could get into, but that is for another time.

I fell that P-O-P should NOT have apologized for others actions. They should be FORCED to apologize for their childish actions + abuse of power(s).


Grow the fuck up. Paintings of naked people does not equal pornography. If you want to see what pornography is, email me.

It makes me disgusted with the world today that this is even a fucking issue. It kills me a little inside every time I am reminded that society has developed into a state that covers that eyes when a natural human bodypart is shown.

Embrace the human body, clothed or not, motherfuckers.

Besides, to put it into perspective, some of the topics in the teen sexuality forum are going to make a bunch of 13 year olds a lot more horny/corrupt/exposed than a picture of a naked fairy.

Oh, and by the way, my mom has a tattoo of a naked fairy riding a dolphin on her wrist. I guess we should set up a mobile perimeter around her, in case a minor walks by while she's wearing a t-shirt, huh?

I actually caught the start and end of this before I left for Reading. That said I have to say that I am ashamed that a public apology had to be made. Whilst this is a teen forum, the art was tasteful and not obscene. It wasn't porn and shouldn't be classed as such.

It wasn't a good idea to start exploiting the lack of a better acceptable use policy by the moderators which then was caught on by everyone else, but I do have to chuckle at those that are outraged by it. There is no such thing as a perfect forum, and it's debacles like these that will only make LiveWire a better place.

This controversy can only be resolved with immediate distribution of nude pictures of Prince. It's only fair. Think of the children.

I didn't really mean that they should be forced... *sigh* I didn't mean it that way. I meant that they should apologize... but I mean either way what's done is done and move past it already.

It makes me disgusted with the world today that this is even a fucking issue. It kills me a little inside every time I am reminded that society has developed into a state that covers that eyes when a natural human bodypart is shown.  

Embrace the human body, clothed or not, motherfuckers.

Maybe you are blind? Your computer reads your world to you? Or you can not read?
I clearly said there is nothing wrong with the human body. But when it is portrayed in distasteful ways, that is when it gets ugly. That is when people shy away from it. THAT is when people complain.

The root word of distasteful is taste - something that varies for everyone.
