don't say sorrythere are those who take great pleasure in PC shaping our lives
and there are those who accept humour for what it is
I'm in the the latter section

Shit, I think you're serious!I think you're confusing a couple of issues here: PC-ness, and the clearly stated rules of posting on this message board.
Surely no-one could accuse this place of pandering to the former?

But NSFW means Not Suitable For WorkIt's not PCness, it's so that boarders don't get sacked for being on b3ta. Give the poor night-shift workers a break, eh?

You obviouslydon't have a job where you could be dismissed for using your internet connection to view pornography then.
It's not about what the board's interpretation of acceptable humour is, but what could be (mis)interpreted by a jobsworth supervisor.
Things are rarely deleted (usually only in the cases of trolls) but they are simply linked to protect people casually glancing at the board during a break or lunchtime.
If anybody really wants to look, then they can look. Nobody is stopping them.
I know you have an issue after one (some) of your pics were linked. Maybe they were safe for work, maybe they weren't but it's probably better that the board errs on the side of caution when there is doubt.

I disagreeI've seen stuff linked on here that is so mild it almost reduces the site to a teletubby concept.
Really! I've seen stuff that has been linked here and then seen far far more risque stuff on billboards coming back from work

oh shushlisten it's simple:
we try and keep the board safe for work but the site is run for fun.
there's a number of volunteers who mod stuff - but sometimes they're not available.
if you want consistency go and speak to your council or something.

yeah Rob I know it's run for funbut what is the market you are looking for ?
if you get too "PC" you will always end up pandering to the lowest common denominator
hat means through fear you will have a site for 5 year olds within a few years

Judging from the rest of the internetallowing as much nudity and sex as possible would be pandering to the lowest common denomenator.

You're not getting it.Things aren't linkied to protect the boarder's delicate sensibilities - for as we know, most of us have no such things.
It's to protect the boarders from getting sacked as their boss or shitty coworker wanders up and sees porn on their work screen. This is an instant dismissal offence at many, maybe even most, workplaces.
If the porneriffic pics weren't linkied you'd get almost no-one coming on the board during working hours, and that would be a serious drain on the talent present at any given time.
