I cannot speak for any other moderators involved, but for my part I want to apologize for my role in bringing not only offensive images to LiveWire, but for the chaos that was caused as result of those images being posted. I admit that it was a puerile way of going about making my point, inconsistent not only with standard moderating procedures but with good form in general. For those who had a positive opinion of me that was negatively impacted by this ordeal, I truly regret that any respect was lost and only ask for the opportunity to rejuvenate that positive opinion over time.
More importantly, if this has negatively impacted anyone's opinion with the moderating team as a whole, I would hope that you could separate the unapproved actions of a few rabble-rousing moderators from the team as a whole and the system in general. Some of you who were appalled with the behavior of the moderators taking part should know that you have counterparts on the moderating team who were just as appalled, if not moreso for knowing how deviant the behavior was.
If anyone is still confused about the policy, the revised rules regarding nudity on LiveWire may be found in this topic.
Again, my genuine hope now is that the site may return to a normal, smooth state of operation and its members to a typical interaction with the moderating team (be that positive or negative).

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.

Quote: from 4est at 12:53 am on Aug. 23, 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.

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.

damnit to hell do I need to bring out the chart again
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.
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?

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